Racism, libertarianism is just that, An excuses for Racism.

 

“You can see this premise at work in Paul’s statements about civil rights. In a 2004 statement condemning the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Paul laid out his doctrinaire libertarian opposition. “[T]he forced integration dictated by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 increased racial tensions while diminishing individual liberty,” he wrote. “The federal government has no legitimate authority to infringe on the rights of private property owners to use their property as they please and to form (or not form) contracts with terms mutually agreeable to all parties.”http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/01/how-ron-pauls-libertarianism-supports-racism.html

“Paul’s alliance with neo-Confederates helps explain the views his newsletters have long espoused on race. Take, for instance, a special issue of the Ron Paul Political Report,published in June 1992, dedicated to explaining the Los Angeles riots of that year. “Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks three days after rioting began,” read one typical passage. According to the newsletter, the looting was a natural byproduct of government indulging the black community with “‘civil rights,’ quotas, mandated hiring preferences, set-asides for government contracts, gerrymandered voting districts, black bureaucracies, black mayors, black curricula in schools, black tv shows, black tv anchors, hate crime laws, and public humiliation for anyone who dares question the black agenda.” It also denounced “the media” for believing that “America’s number one need is an unlimited white checking account for underclass blacks.”...

This “Special Issue on Racial Terrorism” was hardly the first time one of Paul’s publications had raised these topics. As early as December 1989, a section of his Investment Letter, titled “What To Expect for the 1990s,” predicted that “Racial Violence Will Fill Our Cities” because “mostly black welfare recipients will feel justified in stealing from mostly white ‘haves.’” Two months later, a newsletter warned of “The Coming Race War,” and, in November 1990, an item advised readers, “If you live in a major city, and can leave, do so. If not, but you can have a rural retreat, for investment and refuge, buy it.” In June 1991, an entry on racial disturbances in Washington, DC’s Adams Morgan neighborhood was titled, “Animals Take Over the D.C. Zoo.” “This is only the first skirmish in the race war of the 1990s,” the newsletter predicted. In an October 1992 item about urban crime, the newsletter’s author--presumably Paul--wrote, “I’ve urged everyone in my family to know how to use a gun in self defense. For the animals are coming.” That same year, a newsletter described the aftermath of a basketball game in which “blacks poured into the streets of Chicago in celebration. How to celebrate? How else? They broke the windows of stores to loot.” The newsletter inveighed against liberals who “want to keep white America from taking action against black crime and welfare,” adding, “Jury verdicts, basketball games, and even music are enough to set off black rage, it seems.”http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/29/ron-paul-twitter_n_1173600.html

Ron Paul in the Debate in New Hampshire  came out with these statements to skirt the subject of his own racism.

“Paul said that Martin Luther King is one his heroes for practicing "the libertarian principle of peaceful resistance and peaceful civil disobedience," and highlighted his understanding that the drug laws in the United States unfairly penalize African Americans.”http://www.theroot.com/views/ron-paul-tackles-racism-issue

Martin Luther King did not practice a libertarian principle of anything he made full use of Gandhi's Pravda as his example of Non- violent civil disobedience. The libertarian principles were those of the John Birch society a Racist organization Even now.

Paul's next statements were to try to divert the issue from racism to his Drug stance. What he is really saying is that Blacks are more involved in drugs than whites. That is the only reason Legalizing Drugs would justify his stand.

In reality his libertarian principles would only increase the injustices of disproportionate criminalization of Non-whites though discriminatory justice.

Yes there is inequality of justice in the USA. Arizona is the perfect example of this. There are vastly more Latinos in Jail in Arizona than the proportion to whites.

"True racism in this country is in the judicial system," Paul said, "the percentage of people who use drugs are about the same with blacks and whites. And yet the blacks are arrested way disproportionately."http://www.theroot.com/views/ron-paul-tackles-racism-issue

yes Blacks are arrested way disproportionately for every area of criminal law, this has nothing to do with Drug laws by themselves. The drug laws do not say that if one is not white… Paul is using race and the pretense of caring about justice to promote his Drug stance and mask his true stance

"They're prosecuted and imprisoned way disproportionately," he continued, "they get the death penalty way disproportionately. How many times have you seen a white rich person get the electric chair or get, you know, execution?"http://www.theroot.com/views/ron-paul-tackles-racism-issue

There is a Major Discrepancy as to the justice received by Blacks and other Non-whites in this country.  But getting rid of the Civil Rights Act and other Libertarian principles Ron Paul preaches will only increase this.

"If we truly want to be concerned about racism, you ought to look at a few of those issues and look at the drug laws, which are being so unfairly enforced," said Paul, who is known for his libertarian views on U.S. drug policy.http://www.theroot.com/views/ron-paul-tackles-racism-issue

These statements were to divert the voter away from Racism and to his stand on drugs.

These are Ron Paul's rezoning as to why We don’t need the Civil Rights act.

“White people won’t hire you? Then go form a contract with somebody else. Government intervention can only make things worse”.http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/01/how-ron-pauls-libertarianism-supports-racism.html

“The same holds true of Paul’s view of sexual harassment. In his 1987 book, he wrote that women who suffer sexual harassment should simply go work somewhere else: “Employee rights are said to be valid when employers pressure employees into sexual activity. Why don’t they quit once the so-called harassment starts?” This reaction also colored his son Rand Paul’s response to sexual harassment allegations against Herman Cain, which was to rally around Cain and grouse that he can’t even tell jokes around women anymore. “

Paul's view on inequality are the same as those expressed as to why slavery shouldn’t be condemned. the pretenses that it infringed on the rights of the individual.

“The most fevered opponents of civil rights in the fifties and sixties — and, for that matter, the most fervent defenders of slavery a century before — also usually made their case in in process terms rather than racist ones. They stood for the rights of the individual, or the rights of the states, against the federal Goliath. “.http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/01/how-ron-pauls-libertarianism-supports-racism.html
