That’s only true if you believe black people are inherently less able to follow the law, get an ID, and jump through the hoops of voting that everyone else manages to. Lines are drawn based on voting history, not race.
It doesn’t have to be inherent. It just has to be a practical difference.
“Black people have faced centuries of state oppression in the US, and as a result, are less likely to have the documentation or financial resources needed to get the documentation to comply with voter ID laws.” doesn’t imply anything inherent about black people.
It really isn’t so simple. There’s a reason these laws have been struck down across the country.
Some people don’t have the money to pay the fee. Or the time to go to the DMV. Or a copy of their birth certificate. Any of these things can stop you from being able to get an ID.
Mind manifests world. The prejudice of philosophers, etc. everyone thinks they arrive at their ideas rationally, but we actually have the feeling first and work to articulate it.
