Racism Alive And Well In Guilford County
Dear Editor,
Well, I guess it is true. Systemic racism is alive and on full display in Guilford County.
Advocates of photo voter ID have been called racist because apparently some people, especially people of color, are unable to obtain identification cards issued by the government, a utility statement or anything that proves they are who they are and live where they say they live. Last time I checked, you needed some form of photo ID to buy liquor, buy a ticket and board a plane, bus or train, apply for and receive an EBT card or even pick up tickets to the Grasshoppers, Rockers or concert events at the will call window.
Now Jamestown, Greensboro, High Point, Guilford County, the Senior Resources of Guilford and the United Way of Greater High Point are requiring a photo ID to receive a free fan at the Triad Food Pantry in High Point. In addition you must prove you are age 60 years or older, live in Guilford County, “have a cooling situation that presents a threat to occupant’s health and well-being” and provide a proof of disability if you are disabled. Wow! That sounds like a lot of opportunities to obtain proof … kind of like photo voter ID proof. Don’t believe me? Just look on page A7 of the Wednesday June 2, 2021 edition of the High Point Enterprise. By publishing and probably being paid to run the ad, is the Enterprise another member of this racist cabal that supports Jim Crow?
So just like voters who must show a photo ID to vote, disabled seniors or medically challenged people won’t get a free fan unless they have a photo ID and meet other racist requirements. The next time anybody rants and raves that voter ID laws are racist and support Jim Crow, tell them about this government required racism. This demonstrates they are wrong.

Could not have put it any better. Yet people buy the Marxist message. How ignorant can Americans be?
Are those requirements for fans applicable to all seniors, or just those that are within the parameters of “critical theory” like every other policy in the communist doctrine of the “woke revolution”?
Mr. Ormsby is right on every point!
Logical, and perfect response.
The idea that African-Americans don’t have, or too stupid to acquire IDs is ludicrous, and quite frankly, insulting and is being used by liberals to eliminate the need for IDs at all.
A voter ID is a driver’s license, a passport, a social security card, etc.
I have known black people all my life,I have yet to meet one that does not have a valid ID of some sort.I have seen that the “White “Democrats like to say how incompetent the black race is but every 4 years they go back to convince the blacks to vote for them .Could anyone explain how that seems possible?The Democrats have really never done anything to help the blacks except promise them everything and give them Nothing.under Trump he told them I’ll get jobs for you.He was true to his word.The unemployment for blacks,brown ,women and the total US. Was the lowest in History.That is a big reason the total minority vote was going toward Trump.The Democrats have the idea that all Republicans are Raicist,and the minority vote is to stupid to see through their mess of just using the minority vote every 4 years and then pushing them to the curb until the next 4 years.What Joe’s plan is to let all the Spanish people in to take the place of the black vote.The Democrats are wicked people.Look At Portland,Oregon and state of Washington and BLM in both states.They are rioting and killing and destroying property that minorities own and spent their last savings to make a few bucks!!! Do you think these terrorists care.’NO’. They are controlled by the Democrats.They do nothing to corral these Thugs and Gansters.People of Guilford County please wise up and vote these people out every chance you get..Thanks
Didn’t realize we had an immigration problem from Spain.
Rich’s point is easy to deduce for most thinking people: Spanish speaking illegals are pouring over our border with the encouragement of Joe and kamala. And, I guess you’re fine with that along with housing a bunch of illegals in our town at the abandoned hebrew school….
Yes, it is clear you and Rich deduce and reduce all human beings that speak Spanish as “Spanish speaking illegals”. Shame on you and your American privilege.
Great point, Ken. The opposition to voter ID is such a sad farce and an insult to black Americans. Democrats think they “don’t know nothin’ about getting no ID card.” Disenfranchised? what a crock. And for Biden to come out with a ‘jim eagle’ comparison for Georgia, he made no mention that his home state of Delaware has stricter requirements! The Wa-Po gave him 4 Pinnocchios as a result of his false claims. Our current so-called leader is uninformed or maybe, as his race-baiting past and numerous whoppers indicate, he’s just a lying liar.
