President Obama’s Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch said that voter ID laws are meant to reverse Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s accomplishments and promised that DOJ lawsuits against “Deep South” states with voter ID laws will continue.
Lynch was nominated two days after President Obama’s post-midterm election White House meeting with Al Sharpton, who previously revealed that he was working with the White House on choosing Holder’s replacement. Lynch was a U.S. Attorney in Brooklyn and prosecutor on the Abner Louima assault case against New York police officers. Lynch met with Sharpton and the wife of a man allegedly brutalized by police officers, in her Brooklyn office on August 21.
In a speech in Long Beach, New York captured on video about nine months ago, Lynch stated that voter ID laws are intended to “take back” what Dr. King fought for, and vowed that DOJ lawsuits against “Deep South” states will continue.

I'm beginning to believe that this country is more racist from all sides than it ever was in the 60s.
Please quote what Martin Luther King said about voter ID. I'm curious.
Anything to foment racial hated, no matter how preposterous.
