Hold on there. that passage is borderline ...
Sure, ignore the points I made.
and this one is quite a ways across the border:
quote:
The criminals who terrorize our cities--in riots and on every
non-riot day--are not exclusively young black males, but they largely are.
As children, they are trained to hate whites, to believe that white
oppression is responsible for all black ills, to "fight the power," and to
steal and loot as much money from the white enemy as possible. Anything is
justified against "The Man." And "The Woman.' A lady I know recently saw a
black couple in the supermarket with a cute little girl, three years old or
so. My friend waved to the tiny child, who scowled, stuck out her tongue,
and said (somewhat tautologically): "I hate you, white honkey." And the
parents were indulgent. Is any white child taught to hate in this way? I've
never heard of it. If a white child made such a remark to a black woman,
the parents would stop it with a reprimand or a spank.
Alright, again, we've established that Paul didn't write this, nor did he tacitly state he agreed with the position. Yet, you want to hold him responsible for what the man said, which you consider 'shadey.'
I knew a guy growing up who was a racist. He'd been beat up three times in a nearby city by black gangs. His opinions of blacks stemmed from his personal experiences. I didn't have to agree with his position, on blacks, to understand why he felt the way he did about them. What the majority of your quotes illustrate, is little different than what many blacks say about whites; that they have been mistreated, minimized, and they're pissed off. Are you suggesting that whites shouldn't have the same right to voice their frustration?
Then we get this little bit of hatred:
quote:
Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to
pick up their welfare checks three days after rioting began. The "poor"
lined up at the post office to get their handouts (since there were no
deliveries)--and then complained about slow service. What if the checks
had never arrived? No doubt the blacks would have fully privatized the
welfare state through continued looting. But they were paid off and the
violence subsided.
More to the point, his personal position aside, there is an urban poverty crisis in our country. Our government isn't addressing that problem in a logical manner. Our entitlement system has created an entire sub-culture of gambling, prostitution, and drugs through our minimization of this problem. The author himself states:
Then there is this:
quote:
Indeed, it is shocking to consider the uniformity of opinion among
blacks in this country. Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5%
of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market,
individual liberty, and the end of welfare and affirmative action. I know
many who fall into this group personally and they deserve credit--not as
representatives of a racial group, but as decent people. They are,
however, outnumbered. Of black males in Washington, D.C, between the ages
of 18 and 35, 42% are charged with a crime or are serving a sentence,
reports the National Center on Institutions and Alternatives. The Center
also reports that 70% of all black men in Washington are arrested before
they reach the age of 35, and 85% are arrested at some point in their
lives. Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the "criminal
justice system," I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males
in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.
The point isn't that blacks are inherently evil, bad, or wrong. The point is that the sub-culture of life in the 'hood isn't based on community, decency, and self-respect. It's rooted in the same racial hatred that has infested our country ever since the first 'negro' was brought here on a slave ship. There is a legal and moral crisis that has been swept under the rug, and the tag on that broom reads WELFARE.
BTW I've been arrested since I turned 18, does that make me a criminal or a semi criminal?
Technically? Yes. Don't worry, I am too.
I'm sorry but who ever wrote this is a bigot and anyone who published and distributed this has no business being POTUS.
The guy who wrote this stuff? He's not the one running, remember?
Actually after reading the whole thing and comparing it to the last of the scanned images I presented I am convinced both were written by the same person and I have a more than sneaking suspicion that it was Ron himself.
I don't.
quote:
ORIGINAL: Free Market News Network Says one source [close to the actual editorial group] “Ron Paul didn’t know about those comments, or know they were written under his name until much later when they were brought to his attention. There were several issues that went out with comments that he would not ordinarily make. He was angry when he saw them.”
The same publication:
quote:
Second, Ron Paul’s voluminous writings are freely available to anyone who wishes to look. There is not a scintilla of evidence in any of his personal writings that he has at any time placed the color of someone’s skin over talent, drive and ambition.
Finally, Ron Paul’s personal and professional associations are evidently and obviously free of the taint of racism of any sort. There are African Americans working in his campaign; the volunteer “leading the charge” for Ron Paul in Kentucky is said to be Nigerian. Perhaps Ron Paul’s closest intellectual soulmate was the Jewish, free-market economist Murray Rothbard.
Again, if you want to find reasons to hate the man, go for it. I think the rational you're trying to use here smacks of making a mountain of a mole hill.
