I am black and Ron Paul is 99% right. This is where the free market comes into play. If Walmart sent all blacks to the back door..what % of their business will fall off? A ton!! I'm sorry, there are some racist people in this country, but The GREEN dollar means more and controls more than color can anymore.

I'd almost rather know up front who hates me because I'm black so I don't give them my money as opposed to giving them business and having them call me nigger as I walk out.

@ERMAC4482 Not 2 mention he voted AGAINST the Voting Rights Act & the MLK holiday. He certainly knows how 2 honor his heroes. And thats just 4 starters. Your turn.

[MRrhythmsNflows]

@ERMAC4482 I know what I said. And what did I make that statement in reference to? Dont try 2 misquote me or call me racist unless U fully understand the point being made which CLEARLY U didnt. As 4 Paul he's absolutely disingenuous 100% not 2 mention his ideology is flawed. There is NO such thing as individual rights when weighed against those of the larger constituency. And ppl SAY a lot of shyt they dont really believe in. He called MLK a hero but denounces the Civil Rights Act??? Try again.

[MauricXe]

ha i figured they didn't wipe Ron Paul's ass in this vid based on the ratings. Paul bots ftl lol

[ERMAC4482]

@MRrhythmsNflows you said" "like most white in this country ur naive" Um I have engaged you! You think RP is racist but like I said hes the only one saying lets not bomb coutnries with people with a differnet skin. WHO are you supporting? Yes I am a Paul Bot .LIke I said who are you supporting.

@illuminatijews

i hope this is just an act. Ron Paul is a racist. Its very obvious..... Havent you researched him? Hes the Alex Jones of politics. He wants us to go back to using gold coins ( what a retard). I am going to pray for you. I hope you lose your self hatred ad accept yourself.

@mrhoffame

your logic is very weak and stupid. You know you are wrong. Quit acting stupid, and being childish. Its time to start doing things according to the spirit. It is being Uncle Tom because, you a presenting a stupid, illogical point. You know its stupid yet, you continue to boast about how great of an idea it is for people to discriminate against each other in businesses and work force. Reality is, if that were to happen, America would not grow economically. Its a very stupid idea.

[mrhoffame]

@mrhoffame OHH..now I get it. Now that I actually paid attention to your user name and saw the comments on your channel..I see where you are coming from. Take care :)
