question for ron paul fans.?

Question

I was wondering,if Ron Paul succeeds in getting rid of all anti segregation laws how will that not affect minorities? Are you telling me that schools in the deep south and major corporations will continue to embrace minorites with open arms? Are you telling me that as a minority such policies will not be detrimental to me, doesn't taking away all those laws meant to protect minorities give racists,bigots and prejudiced people all over america carte blanche to do whatever they want with impunity? Or do you truly believe that racism died in the seventies?

Vanessa it is that very faith that will ultimately lead to making mistakes.

and for the rest of you that actually believe that racism died in the seventies (i was being sarcastis but oh well...you should check statistics and compare the situation before making such absurd assumptions it is not about separation and collectivism,it is reality,people can say what they want however they want but the numbers are there for you to read someone can tell me to my face that he or she is notracist all they want but if tommorrow i see that person acting prejudiced then that is what i will base my opinion on,so regardless of what people say don't come in here and actually tell me racism died in the seventies when statistics show the complete opposite,racism now is just as bad as it has always been it has just been more silent and subtle!

Answer 1

Not a Ron Paul fan, but am someone who knows very well that there are millions in this country that would, in a hot second, turn back the clock to segregation. Sadly, I know an enormous number of these closet racists. Where I live is lousy with them, and I live in Indiana, close to Chicago, not anywhere near the Deep South. I grew up in this area, and the racism here is appalling. Of course with political correctness being rampant these days they're not as vocal as they used to be. But if you're white, they feel safe in looking around to make sure there are no blacks within earshot, and then proceeding to complain about them, using every nasty vernacular in the book. I've been called a number of names myself because I have the nerve to object to this.
Anyone who thinks racism has changed much at all in this country is living in a fantasy world.

You don't have to worry about Ron Paul though, Bugs Bunny has a better chance of becoming President.

Answer 2

No law can rid a person of hate and if you are given a job based on a government quota do you really want a job from someone who is hiring you based only on you skin tone,I am going to tell you, you don't because before the end of the day every one you work with will know you only got the job because you were(fill in the blank),and you will be resented from day one.I have a question how can you support anti segregation laws that point you out as being different are we not all created equal.

Answer 3

I don't know, but I run a business and hire the best candidate. If someone will do a great job, I hire them. Wouldn't you?

Look, it is in the best interest of corporations, schools, etc. to hire the best person for the job. It affects their bottom line not to do that.

So no, I don't think this is going to be a huge issue. Ron Paul wants smaller government. Like the Founding Fathers he believes in personal freedoms and personal responsibility. If a company misses out because they won't hire the best possible match for a position because that person is black or gay or Buddhist or whatever, then they will have the consequences of their business suffering. It's stupid to do that. Businesses will learn that lesson quickly if they haven't already.

As for racism, there will always be racism and sexism and homophobia, etc. But laws can't fix it, just poorly mismanage it. People are going to have to move past their prejudices and realize that if they don't it's going to affect their bottom line.

Answer 4

He may want to end anti-segregation laws, but if he ensures that all receive their personal liberties, as stated in the Constitution (which is his main goal), then there will be no need for anti-segregation laws. He is just picking the personal liberties over the anti-segregation laws. They will both solve the problem, so there is not need for both.

All are created equal. Ron Paul upholds this as the basis of our Constitution. He will just be getting rid of laws that are not needed if the personal liberites are guaranteed.

Answer 5

Anti-segregation laws? Do you mean Brown vs. Board of Education or are you talking about hate crime laws?

Paul's stance on this issue is that of conservatives, so you really have an issue with conservatism in general, not just Ron Paul.

The department of education has not done anything for african americans except lower testing standards, increase dropout rates, and create a huge bureaucracy that sucks up tax dollars. The "anti-segregation" laws are causing problems for many people. Having the choice of where your children go to school would be a very good thing, especially being able to send your children to private schools instead of public schools.

I do believe that most racism among white people died in the seventies. Of course not all racism died, but I do think that the media exaggerates it and focuses on it, which only causes more tension. It is almost as if they were intentionally trying to divide this country.

Answer 6

we are uninterested in millionaire politicians with purely 'international governing' on their minds being pushed via fact the 'Frontrunner'. Ron Paul is a minimum of somebody who will persist with the form in accordance with our Founding Fathers. And oddly, who's helping Perry? the guy is a hundred% for amnesty and banning abortions. Romney? His state is almost broke with their well being care mandates. atypical which you under no circumstances hear approximately that throughout the media. All you hear is the Ron Paul is a few loopy loon. in keeping with danger he's purely a guy who ran for workplace, via fact he's interested in what's ultimate for united states of america of america (and not China, WalMart, Wall street, etc).

Answer 7

Ron Paul simply stands for freedom of the individual as long as that individual( or
Government ) does not use violence on another or to enforce its will on another.

There will always be racists, bigots, prejudiced people ,black and white. Freedom with justice for those who use force or violence on others is the way to the " answer " Of course, this reasoning even applies to Government too. In a perfect libertarian world even the Government would not use force or violence to enforce its will. Justice for those who use force or violence.

Answer 8

I highly doubt that getting rid of "anti segregation" laws is at the top of his list, or even on his radar, or even something he would suggest (after reading many, many articles from him).

A President is not a dictator contrary to paradoxically vocal minority opinion, all I can hope is, he gets the ball rolling on reducing waste, corruption, and increases awareness of some of the falsehoods that prop up some of our most detrimental policies.

The blame is most likely deflected from it's perpetuating source, the oldmedia, and collectivists. You cannot get rid of their ilk, but you can educated your friends, your neighbors, and not divide the country based on the color of your skin (mine is beige), or class warfare.

Sometimes, these issues affect people badly, and sometimes they get used as pawns for agenda's they can't even fathom, while thinking they are making a difference. The media likes to sell controversy, it's based on viewership, which is profited upon by advertising, and people seem wired to watch train wrecks. Follow the money/quest for power, if you can't discern the motivation, always.

Remember, some of the relatively recent greatest changes came from people that wanted to do the right thing, for apparently no money, or noteriety. People like Martin Luther King, or Mohandas Ghandi. Do not let what they did, go out of style by dividing people. They could not have done it alone.

I don't think Paul ever knew what was going to happen when he joined the race, but his message resonates with people of every "stripe", and many, many more good, than bad.

Answer 9

Good question.

No. Racism did not die. Racism or Xenophobia will exist as long as we remain ignorant of other cultures and their way of life.

The only antidote to racism is education and knowledge and understanding of other peoples and cultures.

As far as Ron Paul is concerned, he is all for protecting individual rights under the Constitution of the United States to protect the Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness.

I am a minority, and that to me, is good enough for me as an individual.

Answer 10

Racism, among most whites died in the 70s, however, it was brought to life in the black community during that time. I live (born/raised) in the "deep south". I was not raised to be judgmental against anyone based upon the color of their skin, it is something that developed naturally through encounters with special individuals such as your self.

Answer 11

I think you underestimate how many good people there are in this country. You cannot enact laws to end racism, choosing to judge someone as an individual instead of a color is a personal choice, and I have faith in the goodness of humanity.
