Except you need one for having jobs, to drive, to buy 21+ stuff, things many people need to do daily, and to buy guns, to get into concerts and such, gambling which is popular on the phones now I guess, etc. I've had one since I was 14 and needed it (and a work permit) to get my first job (and the DMV near me is/was in a black neighborhood no less), I think they can handle it without the grace of White Saviors (or maybe I just really am that special, which I doubt.) And while I'm on it, if requiring an ID for voting is prohibitive to black people and thus restricts their right to vote, then same goes for guns and their right to bear arms.
Older ~~white~~ people have an ID because they've needed it almost daily for X yr since they turned ~14-16, at most 18, maybe 21 if they're really lucky and didn't have to work or drive because they're Princess Diana or whatever. Young ~~black~~ people have to get one because they're turning 14-16. Literally every single person I've ever known above those ages regardless of race or proximity to a DMV has had one, because you need it, even if it's not a "drivers license" or is revoked under some other provision (like some I know who've had DUIs).
I don't necessarily disagree with your methods to "fix" it, fine do that, but I still doubt the premise that black people are incapable of getting (or are otherwise able to actively participate in society without) an ID. Even the homeless alcoholics who live under the bridge who I drink with sometimes, they have IDs. None of them can vote because they're all felons, but they have IDs. And one of them is black! Sure they mainly use it for 40ozers of Mickey's at the gas station, but still they possess IDs.
I have the real solution though (at least while we're doing your idea we can do this too, which I think is more effective at enticing people to do boring clerical shit): bring ages of fun shit back to 18. Wanna drink/smoke/vape/^vote ? Get you one of these here IDs.
And yet it works in most other countries, including 46 out of 47 European countries? The US is one of the few outliers in the world that does not require it, most do, and you're telling me nobody in most of the world votes?
And "latinx?" These countries also all have voter ID already (though those countries also hate the term "latinx"):
Barbados Belize Costa Rica Cuba Dominican Republic El Salvador Guatemala Haiti Honduras Jamaica Mexico Nicaragua Panama Trinidad and Tobago Argentina Bolivia Brazil Chile Colombia Ecuador Guyana Paraguay Peru Suriname Uruguay Venezuela
Copied and pasted list, I know some of those aren't "latinx" but I gotta run so no time to prune.
