Just got back from a real estate auction where I was winning bidder on a 2.5 acre parcel of residential, zoned for that and livestock if you so desired + shitty house on the property, which would have to be torn down instead of trying to refurb, that is,  if you have any brains in your head.

Anyway, this John Turturro looking character comes up to me after bidding is over,  he finds out I was the winning bidder and asks me what I'll take for it, over what I bid. I said "I dont know" He said "How bout 5 grand?" I say "How bout 10?" He says "How about 8?" I say "OK, you got a deal" and extend my hand out to close the deal. Turns out the guy showed up late because of some shit that had to do with his wife, and he really wanted this piece of property. So I made 8k from 1 hr of my time.


I'm gonna give Ron Paul 4 grand of it.

I think Racism will eventually just become a non-issue. Eventually everyone will have inter-bred and race will become impossible to distinguish.  There will still be the people with big/little noses, short/tall people, fat/skinny, etc but what can you possibly do about people being idiotic bigots about that?

Also, I dont mind that Ron Paul is trying to help The Blacks find jobs:

I agree completely. I also agree everyone will eventually become a medium-brown color, like coffee with cream, so we might as well have fun while we still can when it comes to pointing out our differences in color.

Scenario:

Person A: How can we best help black people?

Ron Paul: something, something, something, but what we really need to do is get them off welfare.

Otherwise I'm with Shaw.

He posted that info in response to the claim that Paul was a "nice guy" not in response to the idea that he'd be a better president than the others.

I think what he means is that we need to get the Jews off Hollywood.

Why?

You have to start with Shaw's post that I was building off of where he was doing a absurd example argument against all sorts of racism. Lets be clear, neather myself, or quickmike or John are racist against Jews. I am slightly skeptical of rooms full of drunken rednecks and that is about as racist as I get. It's due to the fact I am a redneck and know damn well groups of us drunk are a danger to ourselves and others.
Jeez people have thin skins here lately.

Well now we're getting somewhere.

First, I highly doubt that RP actually said that. I can't even imagine him thinking it. But I suppose "I heard it on the internet so it must be true" prevails.

This comment alone is proof that you don't fucking read. I didn't hear it on the internet. I spoke to a first hand source on the telephone. A person who had no reason to lie and that I know quite well.

But even if he did say it, how does the desire to get blacks to be financially independent equate to a feeling of racial superiority?

Clarification and context:

Date: 1989-1990

QUESTION (Paraphrased but the specific points are solid): "Mr. Paul, how do you think we can help defend the economy against collapse in the long term?"

ANSWER "Well first of all we need to get the blacks off of welfare."

Not people, not welfare recipients, not anything but "The blacks". The implication is that black people on welfare is an issue causing the collapse of the economy.

Not accounting for the fact that the majority of welfare recipients are fucking white -

As of 1994

White     38.8%
Black     39.8
Hispanic  15.7
Asian      2.4
other      3.3

As of 2006

37.8% white* (37.8% of the white population is on welfare)

27.78% black* (27.78% of the black population is on welfare)

11.47% Hispanic* ** (11.47% of the Hispanic population is on welfare)

Quote
Is it racist to point out that blacks are typically superior to whites in sports? Actually, you are admitting that blacks are genetically superior to you -- the opposite of racism.

Look at those numbers. Claiming that black people are the problem with welfare when the numbers clearly show that the highest percentage of welfare recipients is white (Look it up yourself, I'm not citing shit for you.) and specifically white women, is the issue.

Quote
Thanks for being a gentleman about this.

I never agreed to be. Read your first response to me and all of the bullshit you threw at me because of what I said. Go fuck a garden rake. And I didn't fucking call anyone a bigot but RP. You wanna parse terminology about exactly what it is to show ignorance about a particular group of people and base your decisions around your incorrect assumptions you go right ahead. I'm not gonna parse words with you. It's prejudicial bigoted bullshit.

The man was perpetuating an untrue racial stereotype for political gain.

Ron Paul has said some stupid shit about race. You call it whatever you want.

One more thing -

Quote
Haha, I didn't think this forum would be a bastion of politically-correct speech, but apparently it is. You must be young enough to have been taught it via government schools, and/or you subconsciously absorbed by the politically-correct culture.

This comment is what got me pissed. We'd be having a friendly chat if you hadn't insulted me. And for the record, I'm 37 years old.

All can be verified. Look for the originals, they're out there.

Ron Paul isn't gonna save the fucking world. He's a goddamned rabbit hole sucking up money better spent elsewhere for yet another exercise in the unwavering faith in politics circle jerk.

As predicted, the bullshit about Ron Paul being racist is dragged out as soon as the powers that be start fearing Ron Paul.

http://newsone.com/nation/casey-gane-mccalla/why-ron-pauls-racist-newsletters-matter/

I, for one, don't give a crap who's President any more, but I want Ron Paul to have a campaign in which the ideas of liberty resonate, and he's faithfully sponsored that message for a long time.

Yeah but shit has come up from inside his own camp, from Lew Rockwell etc. I totally get that the mainstream media is untrustworthy, but Lew Rockwell is on a somewhat higher plane in the world of accusations.

Either way, racist or not, Ron Paul says shit that gets him labeled a racist by the mainstream and his responses to all of the accusations have been lacking to say the least.

None of that matters tho, really, because I'm talking about a very specific incident.
