Why don't you ask someone who claimed it meet the defintion of racism?

For Gods sake man, you said those id laws were put in, specifically to suppress black voter turnout.
So now you are claiming, that suppressing black votes, is not racist?

Of course, some racists were birthers. That doesn't mean questioning his birth, was necessarily racist. Some of them weren't racist, just paranoid or stupid or uninformed.
Anyway, one final time...please tell us why it's harder for blacks to get this id, than whites.

Dog Whistles. If one makes everything a dog whistle and condition people to yelp, you can ignore parsing at a deeper level.
Dog Whistle: Asking for birth certificate is racist
Dog Whistle: Strong Border security is racist
Dog Whistle: Illegal immigration is racist
Dog Whistle: Requiring people proving eligibility to vote is racist.
We have some of the most lax border security, citizenship, and voting laws in the world, yet they are still racist.

I would think if you apply the same rules for everyone that would not be racist. Punish the ones that violate that. As for Gerrymandering - that is a game the Dems play better than Rs. I guess that is why in a blue state we only hear it happening in Red states

You have bad reading comprehension.
You said "I asked how does asking somebody for a birth certificate or proof of citizenship meet the definition of racism."
and I said "Why don't you ask someone who claimed it meet the defintion of racism?"
and you quoted me as saying "However, since you brought it up. - It's crazy to think the Birther movement didn't have any racism involved w/it."
Aren't they 2 different things? I never said that asking for a birth certificate or a proof of citizenship met the definition of racism. I'm sure when President Obama first ran for Senate or was put on the foreign relations committeed he was asked for his birth certificate.
