More racism, how to deal with it?

In 1996 in an article, in the Houston Chronicle, “…Paul, a Republican obstetrician from Surfside, said Wednesday he opposes racism and that his written commentaries about blacks came in the context of "current events and statistical reports of the time." ... Paul, writing in his independent political newsletter in 1992, reported about unspecified surveys of blacks. "Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action," Paul wrote. Paul continued that politically sensible blacks are outnumbered "as decent people." Citing reports that 85 percent of all black men in the District of Columbia are arrested, Paul wrote: "Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal justice system,' I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal," Paul said. Paul also wrote that although "we are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers.”

This is all related to the big topic about "Newsletters." This is just a story about it from back then. It's not a separate issue. I find it disturbing myself, but it was likely ghost-written, around the times of LA riots, and I think even Jesse Jackson has said similar things.

The thing about "only 5% have sensible political positions" applies to white people as well. though it's clearly disturbing and written to appeal to a certain (racialist) audience.

I believe that these were either fabricated or created by an associate of RP without his knowledge.

You're actually posting the contents from the original finding back in 1996.

This actually explains the newsletters: http://www.freemarketnews.com/WorldNews.asp?nid=41721

But what that blog fails to mention is that after they released that, they later found out Ron Paul had nothing to do with it and wasn't even part of the newsletters after his 1988 run (the racist content can be found in newsletters from '90/'91). The democrats even tried to use this against him but couldn't after it was proven he had nothing to do with them.
