What does that have to do with this?
The birther story was bullshite and was a fringe movement. Find me a congressman or senator during Obama's tenure that declared him illegitimate because of the birther story.
It never happened.
You are conflating a fringe movement with one being repeated by MSM and federally elected officials. Two totally different situations.

Might want to spend some time on this MLK weekend to learn a bit about what NC has been trying to do in regards to minority voting rights.
You're welcome!

Lewis did more to make America great in one day on a bridge in Alabama than your comrade Trump will do in his lifetime.

I respect Lewis contributions to civil rights in the 60s but he's not the same man right now in 2017 as he's a phony self serving and race baiting politician.

No one. And I repeat NO ONE is having their voter rights repealed. It's ludicrous to even say that.
There is nothing wrong or sinister about have rules and regulations to vote.
Making voter rules like ID into a racial issue, is in fact racist.

The right to vote for African Americans still isn't secure, as we've seen in NC just this year.
This is the bullshite that people are fed up.
This is a point blank damned lie. ANYTHING to portray Blacks as victims.
You have had preferential treatment, set asides, and Affirmative Action for 50 years. What more do you need to achieve what every other race seems to achieve on it their own?
Come on, tell us right here. What more do you need? Why? Why do you have to be coddled? What is the problem?

You white liberals care more about voter ID "suppression" than most black people. Every black person I have talked to has no issue with it

And that wasn't based on fact, like Russian meddling in the election is.
However, the difference is, even if the Russian story is true, it would not be disqualifying. The birth certificate issue would have been disqualifying. So there is not equivalence on that score.

Follow this logic:
Obamacare requires, by law, that everyone have insurance.
Insurance requires an ID.
Thus, everyone is already required by law to have an ID.
Also, every form of government assistance requires an ID.
There is no fake controversy great than the "voter ID is racist" scam.
I have been voting for over 30 years and I have never, not one single time, voted without showing a photo ID. There are many minorities in my precinct. I am in line with them every election. All show ID. Never an issue.

I never followed the birther story closely, but why would it have been disqualifying if his mother was an American citizen?

Tell that to the NC legislature, who passed laws specifically designed (in their own words) to disenfranchise minorities.
You'd do well to educate yourself, comrade!

She was too young to pass citizenship.

What? There was never any factual basis to the birther lie, it was merely an attempt by racists (including PEOTUS) to delegitimize the first black President.

Treason's not disqualifying?
But you ARE still a birther!! And you're trying to lecture John fricking Lewis on decorum around the Presidency! You're so ignorant of the irony of this it's almost not funny. Almost.

Once his Long Form BC identified his birth in a Honolulu Hospital, the issue was over.
Producing his Long Form BC should have taken all of five minutes to clear up.
But strangely at the time, both Obama and Hawaii delayed/obstructed/deflected producing the BC. It was the latter inexplicable and strange behavior that created "birther" doubts.
