Ron Paul Putting The Charges Against Him In Their Proper Context…

(ThyBlackMan.com) At first the mass media just about completely ignored Ron Paul, and when they did mention him it was merely to say he had not a snowball’s chance of winning the nomination. Now, though, now they are giving him much more air play focusing on derogatory comments attributed to him more than 20 years ago, comments which he disavows and says he actually did not write. I say this not to excuse him. However, whether he did or did not pen these remarks, we must note that he does not now espouse those views. And while we certainly should take them into account in judging his viability for the presidency, we must put them in their proper context. . .
Lyndon Baines Johnson, LBJ, is down in the history books as a champion of the Black community, having pushed through Congress the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which broke the back of legalized segregation in America. In so doing, Johnson alienated his fellow white Southerners, and most of them left to join the Republican Party. Nonetheless, LBJ was undeterred and continued to speak out against bigotry until the end of his days.
However, no one in the media has ever, to my knowledge, made mention of the fact that Lyndon Johnson in 1957 as a top adviser to President Eisenhower spoke out sharply and vociferously against Eisenhower’s proposed civil rights legislation. LBJ cautioned Eisenhower to scuttle his plans to pass the same legislation that he would later go on to sponsor seven years later.
Note how Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, as Majority Leader in the Senate, pushed through many measures aimed at ending inequality, and for this he is fondly remembered. The fact that he was once a leader of the Ku Klux Klan, while sitting in Congress, was not mentioned by the media 20, 30, or even 40 years later!
Did you know that Ronald Regan in 1980 kicked off his successful campaign for the presidency in Philadelphia, Mississippi? This was the town where three civil rights workers were savagely tortured and killed by a mob led by police in 1963. Many in the Black community, and many fair minded people of all races, felt that this was a signal to white racists that Reagan wanted their support. However, this was never, to my knowledge, ever discussed in the mass media.
Let’s take a look at Bill Clinton, America’s saxophone playing “First Black President,” who today has his office in Harlem. Clinton interrupted his campaign for the presidency in 1992 to rush back to Little Rock to sign the papers to put to death a young Black man so brain damaged that when they took him out of his cell to walk the Last Mile, he told the jailers not to throw away his food, he was coming back to finish it. This was the same Bill Clinton who so greatly intensified the War on Drugs, which is really a War on Black America, that the number of Black inmates in prison, during his tenure, for mere drug possession increased many, many times over. No one in the mass media has charged him with being a racist for any of this.
The differential in prison time for the possession of crack cocaine, as opposed to powdered cocaine, is 17 to 1. (Whites tend to use powder and Blacks crack.) But none of our presidents or anyone of those individuals sitting in Congress who passed these drug laws, and kept them on the books for more than 20 years, is accused by the press of being racist.
So, yes, some derogatory statements appeared under Ron Paul’s name decades ago, but why are others’ transgressions quickly forgotten while his are being dug up and paraded around? And speaking of the Drug War that is actually a War on Black America, Ron Paul is the only candidate in the race, including President Obama, who has called for the immediate repeal of these unjust, racially inspired and racially enforced drug laws. So, yes, take into account what Ron Paul may have said decades ago, but note carefully what others are saying, and not saying, today.

Ron Paul, Racism & The Uneducated Masses

http://politiocracy.blogspot.com/2011/1 ... asses.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;It's time to stop the nonsense. It's time to start thinking for yourself. It's time to begin sifting through the media bias and the establishment smears. It's time to realize that when Fox and MSNBC and CNN are all against a candidate at the same time, that might just be the guy you want to stand with. How dumb do you have to be to see where our country is right now, and who put us there? It's been 20+ years of the same garbage from both Republicans and Democrats. We finally have a candidate that plays for neither side, answers to no lobby, but instead stands for truth, and we want to make him look like a racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic lunatic. No wonder this country is in the condition it's in. We deserve to be here. And if Ron Paul doesn't get the party nod, it's going to get much, much worse. Please don't say you weren't warned or ask what you did to deserve it, and don't expect any pity from me. I've made my arrangements, my family is going to be fine. You had your chance, but apparently felt like $25.00 loaves of bread and the TSA fondling your genitals in an airport filled with National Guard troops holding AR-15's was a better option than the Constitution. Good luck with that.
Do Black Americans Believe Ron Paul Is Racist?

Ron Paul is not a racist, written by an Asian American

Have you ever had a person look right through you, making you feel worthless because of the color of your skin? Have you ever felt a person’s hatred pierce your soul because of your facial features? Have you just felt trapped in a situation where you could not do anything because of the way you look? Well, I have. These are the feelings that manifest inside of me when I am face to face with a racist.
Growing up as a female, Vietnamese American, I have first hand experienced the torment of discrimination. Even though I am an American citizen, some Americans do not believe I should have the same rights as they do because I am Asian.
When the racial allegations against Presidential candidate Ron Paul emerged, I did not pay attention to them. I knew they were merely smear tactics in attempt to topple his rise. However, as people began debating me about the matter, it started to upset me. I thought to myself: “How could anyone think that Ron Paul is racist? He is the most genuine man I have ever met. He treats everyone with kindness and respect.”
My thoughts are derived from my personal interactions with Dr. Paul. I have met Ron Paul multiple times. Each encounter, he has graciously taken the time to talk to me, take pictures with me, and sign all my books. Dr. Paul has showed me nothing but respect. I never felt in any way discriminated against. In fact, I think he was quite appreciative that a young Asian girl was supporting him. He treated me as an equal even though I am Asian and in my early twenties.
Congressman Paul exuded friendliness and warmth to everyone he met. He was willing to listen to everybody and answer any questions that were asked. I truly believe that Ron Paul appreciates people of all colors, genders, sexual orientations, social statuses, and educational backgrounds. He sees us as Americans and as equals. He fights for our liberties against the institutions that deprive us of our natural rights; the very same institutions that call him racist.
If Ron Paul were a racist, would countless people from various minorities group take the time out to defend him? Would he be gathering so much support from people all over the nation? Would I consider Ron Paul my hero, as I do now? No, for Ron Paul is not a racist, but a man of integrity.
