Between voter apathy among rural blacks, republican gerrymandering, and voter I.D. laws, we have apartheid going on in the South.
I live in the South. You are incorrect. Stop being stupid.

Stop hating yourself...and others. Maybe then, people would not accuse you of self-hating.
?
you are blind, the supreme court never should have struck down the voting rights act, the south is still sketchy and does not want minorities to vote

If you live in the South, then its going on right under your very nose. Stupid indeed. Or blind. Or dishonest.
Literally not one of those things constitutes apartheid. I suggest you look into what actually went on in apartheid before bothering to post again.

One of the tenets of apartheid was the abolishing of political representation for non-whites, which is an intention behind republican gerrymandering and voter i.d. laws. I suggest you follow your own suggestion.
False.
You're not very smart.
First suggestion... step away from whatever propaganda machine that you are subscribing to.

Okay, let me step away for a moment...
Ok. I'm back. Thank you for your suggestion. I now see how wrong I was--it really is just about keeping all those dead people from casting all those votes and has NOTHING to do with discouraging non-white people from the electoral process. And here I was going to suggest you first step away from the crackpipe.

Israel is already an apartheid state. Go see for yourself. The two groups live side by side but Arabs need a special pass to go to certain zones. That is the definition of apartheid. Secondly, Palestine homes are routinely demolished to make way for settlements. Classic apartheid.
I am not blaming Israel. They do what they feel they have to do. But it is indeed apartheid.
The question for me was "what is the fighting REALLY all about?" Is it "good" vs. "evil"? The question then is "what is 'good'"? Is it Islam vs. Judism? The theology is not that different. I could not make real sense out of it until I realised God is a woman and the Devil is a man! The fighting is all about the "battle of the sexes". The problem is much of the Arab world treats woman like trash! The fighting in Afghanistan is about the fact Arabs don't want woman to have ANY RIGHTS or any education. All the countries that treat woman badly have fighting, poverty and idiotcy. Most of the countries where woman are treated well have prosperity. Simple as that. My question is "why don't they just admit it?"

So you are against voter ID laws? Is that what you are saying?

How do voter ID requirements discourage non-whites from voting?
the requirements in some states are ridiculous and it is harder for low income workers to leave work and take time out to get these things. Fraud is such a rare problem it is absurd, the dead people voting is a right wing fabrication. If anything the left should be mad about al gore in 2000

Can you be a bit more specific than "the requirements in some states are ridiculous" ?
Thanks.

True but the American South does not have White Only roads as Israel has Jews only roads in the W Bank (to get to those Jewish only settlements). In fact, at its worst the South never had white only roads.
yes i know Israel is worse, but we should hold ourselves to a higher standard.
