Easyyy. I wasn't referring to you. You referred to him being out of touch with the American PUBLIC for not wearing nice suits. I was referring to the thousands upon millions of voters who vote for a President because of their swagger. Should have been more clear. I apologize.

I also wasn't wrong about those newsletters. Paul wasn't generalizing all African Americans in that newsletter. The LA riots were racially motivated. The interviews of the guys who went to jail specifically talked about how they wanted to pull every white man who drive by out of their vehicle to beat the shit out of them.

My point is, while a couple of newsletters may seem racist, Paul's record proves that he's NOT a racist. The newsletter in which he speaks about the unfairness of the justice system towards minorities is a perfect example of that. He's the guy who wants to empower everyone in this country to live the lives that they desire without interference from the Federal government. Not sure what else I can say about it.

We make a big deal about Ron Paul being a racist bigot over a few questionable sentences but Newt Gingrich can tell all black people to get a job. >.<

Sounds like you're on quite a trip down a river in Egypt. Again, did you READ more than a sentence or two? Like where the author says that the black community is taught to hate whites? No, no generalizations there. Have fun on the Nile.

Quotes:
"The black leadership indoctrinates its followers with phony history and phony theory to bolster its claims of victimology" Translation: "blacks exagerate the past to milk the welfare system

"As children they are trained to hate whites, to believe that white oppression is responsible for all black ills"

"The cause of the riots is plain: barbarism. If the barbarians cannot loot sufficiently through legal channels (i.e. the riots being the welfare state minus the middleman) they resort to illegal ones, to terrorism."

Charming

I actually believe there are instances where each of those quotes are true. But, you've proven time and again that you're more willing to give people the benefit of doubt. I've seen too much with my own two eyes to know better.

Oh please, enlighten me on how the black race is taught to suck the life-blood out of us hard-working Anglos. It seems I haven't dealt with them as much as you and am ignorant.

Seriously.



Again, he wasn't referring to blacks as a whole. He was referring to the ones that were beating every single white person they could find in the streets of LA. You have to take it in context with the article.

I'd also point to the fact that he's come to the defense of minorities many times. So how exactly can you call him a racist? He isn't. Those articles may have sounded that way, but there are other examples of him being the exact opposite way.

Funny how caucasians can sit here and rip on the guy for his racist articles while the minorities in this country give him more support than any other candidate in the GOP.

Of course, it's a great distraction for people to get worked up about. The current establishment would rather have you talking about that instead of the fact that he and his son Rand were doing everything they possibly could to prevent the passage of NDAA with the indefinite detention of American Citizen clauses in it.

At the time (like during the LA riots), he was calling it like he saw it. A bunch of assholes looting and acting barbaric. It's not his fault they were also predominantly black.

Of course there are instances where they're true. There are white people who leach off society too, but I don't hear you saying that or making generalizations on the race based on those instances. Yet you feel no problem judging blacks as a whole based on isolated instances. I don't hear you talking about how whites are taught to hate blacks either, but a lot clearly are, maybe you were. Again if you were brought up that way, it doesn't mean everyone was, it's just a generalization.
