Disagree: The history of slavery is the history of slave revolts, not knights riding to the rescue. Roman slaves under Spartacus rebelled w/o the aid of idealistic patrons. Toissant L'Ouverture's people fought their own way out of French shackles in Haiti. Antebellum U.S. slaves like Gabriel Prosser & Nat Turner led fierce slave revolts. And the rights Congress supposedly gave former slaves in the 1860s took 100 years of struggle for U.S. blacks to secure. You've got to fight for your rights.
Is Paul speaking metaphorically? That is, as soon as a slave rebels, she is no longer a slave? Doesn't sound like it: he talks about "men of good conscience" stepping in to rescue slaves. At any rate, why the words games? Why sow confusion? Slave revolts--typically called "slave revolts"--have been a fact of history since ancient times.
I think Ron is talking about slaves in a philosophical context. You're only a slave as long as you permit your overlords to tell you what to do. By resisting the overlords, you become a free person. Sometimes that freedom comes at a cost, namely death.
He's also wrong because the Maroon movement of freed men in Jamaica was led by Africans who were taken captive who revolted and defeated the British on over 4 occasions and negotiated with the British to remain autonomous and free onthe island.
@pkpapers I do believe that Ron Paul was more inclined to racism when he was younger and he's ashamed of it now. I think he's a changed man but he does better to admit to his flaws and move past it rather than avoid it.
@ChristiansMustLearn If you think that, then it seems you've been slightly affected by the smears. Those newsletters were written by several different ghostwriters mostly on economic issues. One of them slipped a couple racist/controversial pieces in there and Ron Paul who was in Med School at the time didn't catch it. He was never even slightly inclined towards racism at all.
RON PAUL, WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR AN ANSWER! TELL AMERICAN PEOPLE HOW EXACTLY RU GOING TO CREATE JOBS? OK LETS SAY ALL TROOPS CAME BACK AND THEN WHAT? THEY ARE GOING TO SELL IPHONES AND BLACKBERRIES? DUDE BE A MEN, HOW RU GOING TO CREATE JOBS? POPULATION OF CHINA IS 1.4 B CHINESE WORK LIKE ROBOTS, BE HONEST TELL AMERICAN PEOPLE TO BUY UR BOOK U NEED CASH , U LOVE POWER, U LOVE CASH, U WILL NEVER CREATE JOBS, U HAVE NO ANSWER!

His history is wrong at the 12:20 mark. Haiti is the byproduct of the greatest slave revolt in the western hemisphere

One of the most notorious racists in our history. Look online at ALL of the speeches you can find and count the racist comments. You will be amazed!
