someone was out signwaving in ATL today and noticed that there was a lot MORE support from African-Americans than there was last week. I have also noticed the the AAs seem to like him here in the suburbs.
1. The War on Plants...Blacks...DRUGS
2. Asset Forfeiture
3. Tribute
4. War on Islam
5. Death Penalty
These are all issues of special concern to black voters, because they all have a disparate impact on black Americans. These are all issues on which Ron Paul shines above all other candidates, from either party. Black voters already know more about these issues, and Dr. Paul's position on them, than many white voters, to whom some of these issues may be of lower priority.
Most black people aren't going to vote in the GOP primary, but would vote for RP, by a large margin, in the general election, unless Obama wins his party's nomination, in which case Dr. Paul would still likely get the largest percentage of the black vote of any Republican -- in quite some time.
If Ron Paul were a racist, the policies he promotes would be a funny way of showing it. Do WNs support him? Sure. They may find many of his policies attractive, because of their own prejudices, but that certainly doesn't make them racist policies. For example, RP wants to stop illegal immigration because it results in fewer entry level jobs for Americans, creates a strain on gov't services, and increases crime. WNs want to stop it because they hate "mex-kins." RP wants to end foreign aid, because it increases US debt, creates entagling alliances, and swells the already heavy tax burden on American wage-earners. WNs want to end funding to Israel because they hate "the jews."
I have a secret for you: there are racists in every race. If you aren't a racist, you probably either know or are related to at least one. This goes for all of us, red, yellow, black, white, or brown. What we also know about these racist is, aside from making us shake our heads and groan from time-to-time, they are MOSTLY harmless. They say stupid things, and vent, and rant, but most of them wouldn't hurt a fly. Regardless, though, we try to get them to shake off old ways of thinking, but they are still family or friends, and, unless they are of the really bad, dangerous variety, we treat them accordingly. We may try to change their minds, but we don't force them to change their addresses, just because they have some stupid, backwards opinions.
Cut Dr. Paul some slack for thinking that friendship or family, even if that friend or family member is an ignorant bigot, is more important than some political office, even if that office is the presidency. Most Presidents have had their black sheep, and we usually don't demand they be thrown under the bus (remember Roger Clinton and Billy Carter?). He's going to stick to his guns, and continue to protect whomever he is protecting. If we can't accept that, then we need to find another candidate. For me, there
is no other candidate. I'm sticking with Ron Paul. And, I admire his loyalty. Under the same circumstances, most of his opponents would have sold out their crazy cousin Joe or their old college buddy in a hot minute; and I'm pretty sure that's not the kind of president I would want.
