Racism has a geographic topology with well known distribution in the southern states but can occur everywhere and anywhere.
My fear (and I am not closed on the issue) is that Paul’s view of personal rights allows for any personal rights to be enacted as far as they apply to your personal property. If you for instance own a diner, gas station, bathroom or school , then that is your property and you may exercise your right to control what happens on that property as long as it doesn’t harm another human being. He believes (I think but I am not sure) that you do have a right to racially discriminate if that is your belief and the government has no right to impose what he calls “color blindness” upon you. He defends everyone’s rights to discriminate or hold any views as long as they don’t impact on the freedom of others.
I agree with Paul on nearly everything, but I agree with Colbert the constitution is not a suicide pact” I support the constitution because I believe that people like Jefferson and Adams were the modern equivalents Socrates and Plato, but even Jefferson said that the constitution should be a living evolving document, maybe this is an area that does need to break with the constitution ?. A move to repeal it I believe will destroy Pauls chances and hand it the Democrats.
Stormfront.com the white race nationalist site, an example of racially based collectivism , a collectivist group that by Pauls own logic is an organization that is organized around racism , which Paul calls a sin of the heart is mobilizing it members through the internet to support Paul. If you troll through the forum you will see 1000’s of posts about Paul. I have never been to this site before but these folk are organizing in similar ways to the folk here. They are constantly publishing ideas to join Meetup groups etc, the are swarming to online polls and this troubling me.
Should I be troubled if I know that I will probably attend a meet up group with members of the KKK?
Its fine to have theories about how the free market will destroy racism, theoretically these ideas might be correct, but lets be pragmatic , this is about getting him elected and while I believe he can get elected on the rest of the issues this one is his Achilles heal.
Think about it this way, when he does become a bigger threat to the mainstream candidates and the gloves come off how will positions be twisted and used by his opposition.
At the next debate in August what how will he answer this question?. Mr Paul you made a lone dissenting speech on the anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights do you support the right of individuals to discriminate on the basis of color and would you repeal that act?
How is he going to sell free market ideas on racism in thirty seconds and will the feeding frenzy after his answer destroy his campaign ?
