Democrats don’t trust you with Drano. And they apparently really don’t trust black people with it.
You now need to show a government ID to buy it and at least 25 other “dangerous” products commonly found in hardware stores in Illinois thanks to a new state law. But voting without a government issued ID, or an ID of any kind, is still just fine with them.
The law, which took effect Sunday, requires those who seek to buy caustic or noxious substances, except for batteries, to provide government-issued photo identification that shows their name and date of birth. The cashier then must log the name and address, the date and time of the purchase, the type of product, the brand and even the net weight.
The whole thing is extremely discriminatory. Why? Because now black people will be barred from access to Drano at many times the rate of whites. That’s because a much higher percentage of people who lack government IDs are black than are white.
That’s the argument that Democrats and the Democrat-led US Justice Department are using to block voter ID laws across the country. In South Carolina, white voters are 20 percent more likely than whites to have a state issued ID. It was on those grounds that the Justice Department blocked South Carolina’s voter ID law last week, calling it discriminatory.
Bob Hall, executive director of Democracy NC, warned this week that North Carolina legislators better not even think about trying such a law here again since the racial gap of a photo ID requirement is even larger in North Carolina than in SC, with blacks at least twice as likely not to have a state issued photo ID as whites. (The governor vetoed the law last year.)
It’s apparently this way across the country. Which leads me to wonder … what are black people now supposed to do when their drains get clogged? Get a white friend with a government ID to buy their Drano? Hire a plumber? Vote Republican?
