I don't think racism and race relations need "fixing" therefore I disagree with your statement. I think we've come a long way since 1964. I'm in a mixed marraige (Asian) myself.

Well they certainly don't need screwing up either...

Race relations in this country are fragile. We don't need racist people in the presidential administration. I don't think Paul can guarantee me he won't appoint racist assholes to his cabinet. And if a scandal breaks it could be a huge issue and hinder our politics in this country. If you think a blowjob set us back a couple years, imagine the scandal of a the presidential cabinet being filled with racists and bigots and starts talking like they did in his newsletter. Ron Paul obviously wouldn't handle the situation properly.

Write him a letter. And post the reply here. Seriously. I can't answer your concerns and my time is spent better discussing issues that are more important to the health of our nation. Yes, racism exists. No. It doesn't exist with Ron Paul. For the last time. Write him a letter.

Besides, what are the other candidates doing to get minorities out of our nations prisons because of a flawed drug war?

I could care less. It has nothing to do with minorities anyway, it has to do with drug offenders. That's like saying "what's ron paul doing about welfare to help close the economic gap of minorities." It's an insulting question, and doesn't really have much to do with his leadership abilities.

You added the above to your post since my reply.

I don't care to discuss this with you any longer.

Take it up with the Paul campaign.

Nothing to do with minorities?

Statistics show minorities make up majority of prison population - Features

and Ron Paul is trying to do something about the Welfare state. Get them off of it and stop relying on government for handouts!

Nobody is asking you to speak for Ron Paul, nor do we expect you to.

It has to do with criminals. Are you suggesting we should lump drug offenders as being a black issue? Should we also consider welfare a race issue since black have a much better chance of being on welfare? Welfare is an economic issue. Drug laws are a crime issue. You can solve both issues by addressing the needs of the economic groups without lumping race into the equation.

I believe most murders are committed by minorities based on numbers that are not conducive to the population as well. Should we consider murder a "black" issue? It's absurd. Ron Paul and his supporters are deflecting the issue of the newsletters with this drug law stuff. It's like saying "I'm against capital punishment therefore I'm not racist and absolved of past issues of racism being spread for years under my name. And no I won't tell you who really wrote it, nor will I tell you if they're still part of my political career, vote for me anyway because I'm against capital punishment which unfairly convicts blacks more often than whites." The logic is just so warped, I don't understand it.

I never suggested anything as to this being a "black issue." Where did this come from?

Why are you bringing "blacks" into this? Did you just write something that you claim I wrote, but didn't? Are you a racist?

Funny how that works huh?

You also keep adding something to your posts and then editing it after I am already replying to what you orignally posted.

I'll step away and watch football for awhile so you can get your thoughts together.

It is being presented as if it's a black issue. By saying he's not racist because he's the only person who will help the black drug criminals, that's making drug crime a racial issue. His views on drug laws have nothing to do with blacks, it's a clear deflection to try to make it seem like he isn't racist.

Race relations in this country are not fragile, but the govermedia sure works toward that end. Actual Ron Paul has already stated his wish to appoint or run with Walter Williams, who is a black man. The media is racist in that it tries to manipulate racial groups by pitting them against others.

It is divide and conquer.

To me, a racist is one who runs around fighting perceived racism.

I have black friends, Mexican friends, Amerindian, Indian, etc... not ONE of them ever mentions anything about racism. They don't see it directed at them, so why should you?
