A thread for Ashliana

[Ashliana]

You're supposed to be the expert here, so share your expertise. "Google it"* just means you don't have an answer.

It's funny that you thought your stance of "I don't know enough about the topic, so educate me so I can belligerently argue with you" was the best option you had available, but alas. If you don't know enough to meaningfully comment on it, that's your problem.

I tried asking some of my minority friends, but they already had IDs and they didn't know the answer either.

So let's see what the white guy thinks. I'll even make it easier for you...

Tell us, Ashliana, in your own personal opinion, what specific roadblocks do you believe minorities typically run into that makes it so earth shatteringly difficult for them to acquire an ID?

There. Now I'm just asking for your own personal "opinion" on it to give you maximum wiggle room to tell us what you believe the specific roadblocks are that make it so difficult for minorities to acquire an ID.

Your opinion can't be Googled either, just letting you know in advance.

*Paraphrasing, before you get hung up for the next 25 pages on that.

You not knowing something about a topic isn't a position. If you were curious about why the conservative-dominated Supreme Court didn't accept North Carolina's appeal after the circuit court found their voter ID law "laser focused" on suppressing the minority vote, you can take a few minutes and educate yourself.

You and your minority friends are racist.

The insane white guy says so.

Since you're ancient, like Parkbandit, it's no wonder that you think "I invented a fictional minority friend on the Internet who agrees with me" is somehow an actual response. Alas, it isn't.

Guess you'll just have to remain forever mystified why the overwhelming majority of Black Americans want nothing to do with Republicans.

Insane white guy once again speaks for minorities.

Ermm.. Nope, your wishes still don't change history. Methais, as you pointed out, did. I pointed out statistics, which show that the overwhelming hypermajority of Black Americans support Democrats, not Republicans.

Neither your performative confusion or legitimate ignorance changes anything.

Better luck next time.

Once again insane white guy speaks for minorities.

Once again bootyblasted old racist white guy attempts to change history by making a nonsensical claim, history fails to change.

Best of luck figuring out why Methais' "I totally have a minority friend who agrees with me" statement means nothing, just like your "I totally have kids who are part 'American Indian,'" despite that term falling out of favor ages ago, which you'd know if you weren't -- ding, ding, ding -- an insane white guy trying to speak for minorities.

Now everyone is lying, so says the insane white guy.

Old racist white guy soothes his bruised ego by insisting that someone pointing out his undemonstrated claim is undemonstrated somehow constitutes a statement that he's lying, the universe still fails to reorder itself to suit his delusions. More at 11.

Best of luck figuring out that Internet claims don't mean anything. Pro-tip: Doing two seconds of research so as to not undercut your claims might serve you better going forward.

Insane white guy now wants peoples family documentation but an ID to vote is racist and out of the question.
