The Obama Justice Dept. under Eric Holder, has in the past exhibited the racism common to leftists, ruling that black people are not capable of doing as well as non-blacks and therefore they need extra government help.

Now they are doing it to Hispanics, ruling that Hispanics are not as capable as non-Hispanics in Texas, of getting state IDs... even though those IDs are issued free. Therefore a law that treats Hispanics the same as non-Hispanics, is somehow "discriminatory".

How long will it be before the Obamanites rule that Hispanics in Texas discover that Hispanics should be automatically bumped one grade on all tests and quizzes, if it's found that Hispanics are getting lower grades in public schools? Or if it's found that Hispanics are getting higher grades, that they should be automatically lowered by one letter grade?

Where will the racism and preferential treatment by the left, end?

(Is it November yet?)

Justice Department files objection to Texas voter ID law

Published March 12, 2012
Associated Press

The Justice Department's civil rights division has objected to the new photo ID requirement for voters in Texas, saying many Hispanic voters lack state-issued identification.

The department says the state has failed to show that the newly enacted law has neither a discriminatory purpose nor effect.

In a letter to Texas officials, the Justice Department says Hispanic voters in Texas are as much as 120 percent more likely than non-Hispanic voters to lack a driver's license or personal state-issued photo ID.

I just read a few articles on this elsewhere.

Either you're a citizen or you're not. Either you're entitled to vote or you aren't. This bullshit about certain "races", or whoever, that don't have ID is ridiculous. How do these people get along in life without an ID?

Get on an airplane
Get something notarized
Open a bank account
Register for college

Apply for Food Stamps
Apply for Medicaid
Apply for Unemployment

Get a mortgage

I have to wonder. If someone manages to prove that a disproportionate number of minorities are robbing banks and getting thrown in jail for it....

...will Eric Holder's response be to repeal all laws against robbing banks? On grounds that they will disproportionately affect minorities?
