Man, F&%K Ron Paul!
It never fails. Every time some buddy of mine waxes poetic about some new girlfriend of his, making it seem as if she utters nothing but Winston Churchill quotables, and resembles Sade back in the days when the leading men in her videos were predominately Eurotrash - what I usually find is a woman that I actually lose I.Q points just standing besides, who would be a shoe-in for the role of "Sloth" if they ever decide to make a "Goonies" sequel. The same thing goes for music as well, hearing someone carry on about some Hip Hop group that they absolutely adore is nothing but a recipe for disaster - a delectable dish that I mercilessly devour as soon as I sample the artists music and realize that I've heard more ear-pleasing bowel movements in my day. For the past 6 months, my email inbox has been inundated with questions from my loyal readers concerning Ron Paul - they either asked my overall feelings about his candidacy or whether I planned to support him or not. Being that most of my correspondence with readers either consists of me trying to score some online booty, or chopping it up with a reader about some miscellaneous Hip Hop group - the last thing on my agenda was Ron Paul, primarily because I've never been in the business of throwing my vote in the proverbial circular file. But having done some research on the Texas Congressman, I finally have a clear opinion of the politician:
Man, Fuck Ron Paul.
Forget about his crackpot politics, I'm suddenly reminded of that Dave Chappelle quote: "What's a black man without his paranoia intact?" - and with the cloud of racism that follows Ron Paul around like the dust-cloud that surrounded the "Pigpen" character in "Charlie Brown", that's enough of a factor to provoke me to question the sanity of any black person(or anyone else for that matter) who dares bring Ron Paul up to me. First off, in his own newsletter entitled "Ron Paul Political Report", talking about Rodney King and the LA Riots in the early 90's - he said the following:
"I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."
"If similar in-depth studies were conducted in other major cities, who doubts that similar results would be produced? We are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, but it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings, and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers."
Granted, Mr. Paul has claimed that he never specifically penned those words, that they were the creation of a "ghostwriter" and didn't reflect his personal views - even if that was true, the mere fact that someone working for him felt comfortable enough to print those words under his brand, is telling, ghostwriter or not.
Then you have the issue of the Congressman Voting Against a Congressional Medal for Rosa Parks.
Or his feelings on Barbara Jordan:
"University of Texas affirmative action law professor Barbara Jordan is a fraud. Everything from her imitation British accent, to her supposed expertise in law, to her distinguished career in public service, is made up. If there were ever a modern case of the empress without clothes, this is it. She is the archetypal half-educated victimologist, yet her race and sex protect her from criticism.
Then we have people like David Duke completely co-signing Ron Pauls writings on his own website, along with other scumbags of note singing his praises.(Hat tip to phenry) I'm not saying that Ron Paul supports these proverbial bottom feeders, but he hasn't gone out of his way to repudiate them either - and for a paranoid guy like myself, that's enough to have me running for the hills as if I was Julie Andrews.(minus the blue farm dress)
Then we have him voting against reauthorizing the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the voter suppression bill that was Federal Election Integrity Act.
Not for nothing, but that's enough for me - so please, by the grace of god, no more inquiries about Ron Paul in my inbox. Thanks.

P.S ..but I have to give Ron Paul supporters some props for this though.

"Then you better come with a rejection of Ice Cube based on the shit he put on that "Death Certificate" Album!!"
..the problem with that analogy is that Ice Cube isn't running for president. Thoughts?

"Mmm, "some" research, indeed. But not in very much depth. Mainly you have repeated the original article:"
You always have to be careful of people who start their rants off with "hmm", it always signifies an air of defeat that exposes itself in the form of a paper thin argument. That being said, Ron Paul's brand of racism is well documented on a slew of websites - you finding one article on it shouldn't be an indictment of my research, but an indictment on his racism based on how easy it was for you to find it.
"Now time for a Paul supporter to go off... psyche!"
Psyche is right, since most of the rebuttals that I have received have been laughable at best.
"But yo - Eurotrash? you are dropping racial slurs in an article supposedly criticizing someone for .... making racial slurs! Can you
say hypocrisy and striking irony?"
Is this all you have? I mean, you can't counter anything that 'I've said so you point out "Euro-trash" - a statement with no racial implications since, as you know(I hope) that there are in fact black europeans. Ron Paul supporters must be products of inbreeding.
"I never would, but would Vibe allow the word "Afrotrash" in their hallowed pages?"
Can't counter the Barbara Jordan claims? Stormfront? David Duke? At least pretend to wage a coherent counter argument.
"Sound like Farrakhan??? No doubt."
You're an idiot. No doubt.

another point....
you don't like the comments in the Paul newsletters from about 15+ years ago. Let's say for a moment that Paul did write those words. (which I doubt)
Then you better come with a rejection of Ice Cube based on the shit he put on that "Death Certificate" Album!!
that was 15+ years ago!! Black Korea? Buck the Devil and also that guy Khalid Muhammed??? Nice stuff.
Shit, I still love Friday, Amerikka's Most Wanted, even Barbershop is a'ight.
Catch my drift?? Be objective.

http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=e2f15397-a3c7-4720-ac15-4532a7da84ca
which was put out by a big Guiliani supporter. (BTW there is a heated discussion at the above's comment area)
We all know how Rudy is always looking out for the brothers and sisters! ;o)
Now time for a Paul supporter to go off... psyche!
I am actually writting here to call You out, Nappy One. What is this nonsense you are saying about Sade's videos??
O yeah, the members of her band apparently are not brown-skinned enough for you! Those guys in the video
are the freakin' members of the band, which you know was so Funky. You remind me of Wesley Snipes in White Men Can't Jump
trippin' off the fact that Jimi Hendrix sometimes was backed up by white boys (the JH Experience)
But yo - Eurotrash? you are dropping racial slurs in an article supposedly criticizing someone for .... making racial slurs! Can you
say hypocrisy and striking irony?
I never would, but would Vibe allow the word "Afrotrash" in their hallowed pages? I wonder.
Sade's mother was as white as I am. Damn!!
So, F&%K the double standards. Anyway, which Republican do y'all prefer over Ron Paul? Honestly.
Peace,
Libertarian Funk Lord
p.s. I still may vote Democrat (Obama or Edwards) in November, but in the primaries, it is all about Paul. Even if it
is just a protest vote. But he's the Prez of my heart, and I don't believe he has any hatred for any race. But he does have a problem
with the morons who run this American show -- whom Vibe's African-American readership will SURELY also despise.
Paul is AGAINST the SYSTEM!!!! Listen up, he sounds kooky because he wants to flip the crooked system!! He doesn't
want to bring back chattel slavery, trust me. Paul loves freedom, liberty, minding your own business, and taking responsibility
for your own shit. Sound like Farrakhan??? No doubt.
But... African-Americans should realize that Paul don't support no affirmative action. Why? because it is wrong to write
racial preferences into a nation's laws!! Dr. King would agree, don't deny it.

You hate Ron Paul? You hate freedom, liberty and peace and a real currency. You are a shill and your thinking is clouded by identity politics. You will have to live in a the new-dystopia, I hope you enjoy it. You might want to read a bit about history to know where this country is headed. Im sure you find the vote-fraud that disenfranchised Ron Paul in NH also screwed Obama over, but thats ok with you. You need to rethink the Ron Paul hate, it makes you look like a moron who is poorly researched to think Ron Paul is a racist.
