My Racist Wallet?

I had no idea when I was getting my driver’s license, that one day it could be construed as a tool of racism.  I feel badly for those in Arizona and Alabama who are constantly being racially harassed when they are forced to show their legal picture identification, when all of us go through our lives without a tattoo on our forearm or our “papers” like in the old DDR.  It is an absolute shame that our government in certain states wants to take away the “rights” of people to vote without having proof of whether they are citizens…as if that is a requisite to voting.  If only we could show these government officials the racism of their actions.

Take me, for instance.  A white, 37 year old male with a job.  I don’t have to show my ID anywhere I go, because I’m white, and we are above the laws…except when I buy liquor, I have to show my ID…and when I get pulled over, have to show my ID…or when I win at gambling and it needs to be reported to the IRS…or when I’m at the bank and want to make a withdrawal…or at the airport when I want to get on a plane.  Besides that, as a white man I don’t have to show my ID, except when I’m in a kitchen and the health inspector needs to see my health card, or my Concealed Weapons Permit if a law enforcement officer asks for it…or when I write a check.  Besides those instances, showing ID is racist.  You want to know what’s really racist?  I’ll tell you,

   When the first black president refuses to free hundreds of thousands of black youth in American prisons for possession, trafficing and usage of marijuana…that is racist.  The half of Obama that doesn’t care about the American black youth and lets them sit in prison for breaking a racist law, supported by racist prison guard unions and racist DEA and ATF agencies whose sole job is to harrass, arrest and abuse minorities in these United States.  Please tell me how forcing people to show ID when voting is anywhere as bad as the institutional and methodical imprisoning of a large percentage of minorities in our cities.  Perhaps the sheet wearing half of Obama should pick battles that matter, instead of hiding behind the hypocracy of antiquated laws that hurt our poor and minorities…because you know damn well that if the name of the defendant is Kennedy or Bush, those kids aren’t going to jail, they’re going to Malibu Rehab and getting a book deal.  That is racist.  End the hypocracy.
