    Black People : Ron Paul on Racism

    Something Ron Paul does not seem to get about racism and the collective vs. the individual. The racist attributes any negative quality of one of a group to all of them and any positive quality to the individual. Example, Black male rapist is on the news; to the racist all black males are...
