"What Black Person Ain't Got IDs?"

Primary elections are taking place all around the country, deciding who will be on the ballot in November.

The Democrats have spent the past couple of weeks pearl-clutching over the voting rights of Black Americans, falsely claiming the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on the Voting Rights Act, along with Republican redistricting in states like Tennessee, will disenfranchise certain voting blocs. That's not true, of course. But Democrats aren't really worried about representation or the will of the people, anyway. They're livid that they have to compete for voters outside of racially gerrymandered districts and run on ideas instead of identity politics.

And for one woman in Chicago, this was just too much. She absolutely blasted Democrats who are melting down over voting rights.

Be informed, not misled.

Collin Rugg posted this on social media:

Chicago woman mocks Democrats by speaking in a squeaky, high-pitched voice, who say black people's voting rights are in danger. 

The woman also called out the commissioners one by one to their faces. 

"I'm 63 years old. I've been voting since I was 18. I have never had a problem voting..."

"So now you're all gonna drag black people in here, definitely some senior citizens, and gonna have them come up here and talk about how they're scared to vote... all that junk, when you know it's not true."

But the local and national news have reported that if an ID is required to vote, it will disenfranchise the black voters.

The rest of the story.

"The reality is this: black people's voting is not in danger, and you know it's not. You know it's not," she said. "I'm 63 years old. I've been voting since I was 18. I have never had a problem voting. Now that may apply to my mother and father. It applies to my grandparents. Surely it does. And, in fact, because it does, every single person in this room, including that Jewish lady that just got up and talked really need to be thanking us. You really need to be thanking us for getting y'all the right to vote. For getting y'all the right to be here instead of sitting up here manipulating the Voting Rights Act like something is getting ready to happen to our right to vote, when you know that's not true."

"So now you all gonna drag black people in here, definitely some senior citizens, and gonna have them come up here and talk about how they scared to vote," she continued, "'I just messed up the right to vote,' 'women need to vote.' All that junk, when you know it's not true. Just like you sit up here and make like black people can't get ID. 'Us requiring IDs to vote is gonna stop black people from voting.' What black people ain't got IDs?"

"See, you all get more and more ridiculous. But you can't, in this room full of these black people, talk about that federal case that just got filed Monday, that's talking about how you all are stealing property at Cook County sales," she said. "Raise your hand that if they told you to come in here to talk about how your property got stolen. Where you at? Huh? Cause we got commissioners in here that know for a fact that's happening ... why you all ain't in here talking about how they stealing our property? Where you all at?"

Then she shared some thoughts about Trump: 

She gave a shout-out to President Trump and his fight over birthright citizenship.

"Y'all getting ready to come up here to this mic and lie for the cameras to say that black people's voting is done by this Louisiana thing," she said, "and Donald Trump and the Trump administration. When Donald Trump is in front of the Supreme Court right now, fighting for the Fourteenth Amendment. Saying that black people, that the Amendment was for black people, not for birthrights. Not for people to anchor themselves over here illegally. And they got y'all black people in here ready to talk against him."

"Y'all real sick up in the head. You're sick in the head and more sicker in your spirit. This is insane," she said.

Yes it is.

"What black person ain't got ID?" she asked.

Someone identified the speaker as Jessica Jackson.  

Whoever she is, she's right.

Anyone who uses any social services, a bank, or travels has an ID.

Takeaway

ABC News and the National News Desk reported recently that the number of Black adults identifying as or leaning Democratic dropped from 77% in 2020 to 66% in 2023. Meanwhile, 12% to 17% of Black adults identify as or lean Republican, according to a 2025 Gallup poll.

Also, last year, President Donald Trump received a 22% job approval rating from Black adults, up from 13% during his first term in 2017, per Gallup.

White House spokesperson Allison Schuster told Axios that Trump has supported Black Americans by providing long-term funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, expanding school choice, and signing historic criminal justice reform.

This is a striking difference between how the Democrats treat black people and how the Republican Party, specifically how President Trump, treats them.

He treats blacks like he treats everyone else: Equally.

The Democrats are a different story. The Left treats them as though they are not capable of getting or carrying an ID. Or capable of getting to a polling place.

President Lyndon Johnson treated them as though they were unable to work and created a massive dependency under the guise of "welfare."

Things have changed.

Blacks have, in great numbers, broken the chains of welfare and dependency and are no longer working the fields of the misnamed "progressives."

When you detach partisan identity from racial identity, you get more Black voters willing to take a chance on the Republicans.

That's not a realignment. They are more politically free agents.

Galatians 5:1 ESV says, "For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery."

Be Informed. Be Discerning Be Vigilant. Be Engaged. Be Bold. Be Prayerful. Be Free.
