Not having a bank account is a race issue? People who are not white cannot get a bank account? Poor people can't get a bank account and all non-white are poor therefore bank accounts are racist?

What is your message?

It's the same argument they make with voter ID laws; non whites are too stupid to successfully get an ID / open a bank account / etc. It's some of the most racist rhetoric I've ever seen but somehow it's pitched as "anti-racist".

In 2011, Alabama passed a strict voter ID law.

Then, in 2015, Alabama closed DMVs in predominantly black counties, making it hard for black people to get IDs. It took a federal probe to force Alabama to reverse the decision to close the DMVs.

Personally, I think we'd be better off with the vote-by-mail system that Oregon and Washington use.

I don’t know specifically what they intend their message to be but I would 100% bet it involves something they would describe as “Globalist Bankers”.

yes, it is a common theme among the "woke": Black people score lower on school math tests, therefore math is racist.

That your feeling without specifying any factual data

Yeah! Casinos are never racist!
