Some of the reasons they gave as to why included black Americans\u2019 apparent lack of access to the Internet, lack of access to the DMV, and a general lack of knowledge about how to access identification.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese type pf people don\u2019t live in areas with easy access to DMVs and other places where they can get identification,\u201d one man argued.<\/p>\n<p>A female said, \u201cFor most of the communities, they don\u2019t really know what is out there, just because they\u2019re not aware, or they\u2019re not informed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another women said it was racist that convicted felons are not allowed to vote, suggesting most convicted felons are black. \u201cIf when we look at a swing state like Florida, that\u2019s a huge population of the African-Americans,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>But when Horowitz asked black Americans in Harlem, NY, about voter ID and presented white liberals\u2019 arguments against voter ID laws, their answers were vasty different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody I know has ID,\u201d one man said.<\/p>\n<p>A younger male said he of course had ID, as do all of his friends.<\/p>\n<p>He later laughed at Horowitz when the reporter told him liberals argue that black people don\u2019t have access to the Internet. \u201cThat\u2019s just stupidity,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody has access to the Internet, even a little kid can figure out how to work the Internet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another woman said she doesn\u2019t know any black adult who does not have state identification, when asked by Horowitz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it a weird thing to even say that?\u201d asked the reported. \u201cYes, it is,\u201d she answered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs this some trick candid camera thing?\u201d one man asked Horowitz, as he and a woman pulled out their state IDs.<\/p>\n<p>When Horowitz asked if black people know where the DMV is and how to get there, two men looked at the reporter in disbelief and gave him the street name of their local DMV. Another woman laughed too, saying she knew where the DMV was and could get there if she needed to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had access to the Internet for years,\u201d an insullted woman told Horowitz. \u201cI [use] it at work! Of course I know how to use it. My kids know how to use it, they all have iPhones, iPads, whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat does that say to you for people that have this perception of black people?\u201d Horowitz asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re pretty much ignorant,\u201d one man said.<\/p>\n<p>A woman similarly said, \u201cI just think that\u2019s ignorant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIgnorant, very, very ignorant,\u201d answered another female. \u201cWhat people are they talking to? Who are these people talking to?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it is a little racist, because you\u2019re putting people in a category and you have no idea what you\u2019re talking about,\u201d another person said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe a little bit of racism in it, but like I said, I think it\u2019s more stupidity,\u201d one man told Horowitz.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Are Voter ID laws racist?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/odB1wWPqSlE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
