| N-Syte said: Not exactly sure what Ron is trying to say in that first one. ssj12's interpretation is as good as any I suppose. I interpretted it as a warning that blacks should not rely on whites to correct black social problems. I interpretted the second part as commentary on the ridiculousness of forgoing profiling when screening for terrorists. The second quote seems more of a rebuke of identity politics and monolithic voting. As far as the third quote is concerned, if Ron Paul is a racist, he has company... "There is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery - then to look around and see somebody white and feel relieved." - Jesse Jackson That's the sad thing about this. People can't even have an honest conversation about race issues. Loaded charges of racism short-circuit any kind of meaningful conversation. Deguello's post is a great example of that. |

You "Ron Paul is a white supremacist" people really need to come up with better material, because a $500 donation and a few quotes taken completely out of context only show that you're not able to discuss social problems at his level.
