My recollection is that judges specifically said that id laws targeted the suppression of the black vote. Also from memory, their "evidence" was that after voter id laws are enacted, black voting drops more than white votes. The problem is, that doesn't come close to proving causality.

It's not any more racist than the NBA is. If I could shoot and rebound like Lebron, I'd play in that league. Similarly, if blacks choose to get the id, that will secure their voting rights.
