Ron Paul thinks minorities not smart enough to understand racism

[NJMaverick]

Ron Paul let his "I'm white and hence superior" attitude slip in last night's debate

"I'm the only one up here and the only one in the Democratic Party that understands true racism in this country. It's in the judicial system. And it has to do with enforcing the drug laws"

Really Ron? All those minorities in the Democratic party don't understand racism? They need a superior white male to set them straight? You disgust me you racist piece of trash

Ron Paul is disgusting with his racism. He tries to say the right words, but his intent comes rolling out. Everything is an entitlement....and to him entitlements help the people who aren't white.

Saw his followers described as this: Paulbearers. Very appropriate. Dead to any sense or sensibility.

In the short time that I've become more acquainted with Ron Paul's politics, I've become completely disgusted by him. He uses this "black men wrongly imprisoned" spiel as a cover for his virulent racism. Where was his signature on the letter Congress sent to the Georgia judiciary pleading for Troy Davis' life? Where was Ron Paul in 1999 when a whole Texas town of young black men were falsely imprisoned -- and the state attorney general gave a "Lawman of the Year" award to the officer who had a big hand in it it? And that attorney general went on to become a U.S. senator - John Cornyn - with not a peep about it from Paul?

But more than that, perhaps Paul is right that Democrats don't understand racism like he does, since he accepts the support of the white supremacist group Stormfront - that's enough for me right there to put the lie to Paul's favorite "cover."

I didn't know that about Cornyn, but not surprised. He's one of the biggest teabaggers and anti-Obama.

that sentence is strange. It sounds like he is a member of the Democratic party?

Agreed it was a poorly constructed sentence. Then again when a racist is making comments on race and racism they tend to be thinking how to hide one's true feelings rather than how to construct good sentences.

why Ron?

Maybe his GOP buddies don't think drug laws are unfair, but the larger portion of the Democratic Part has been fighting the issue since his buddies started implementing those drug laws in the 80s. God why do they get away with this shit.
