African Americans Please help Ron Paul

Nelson Linder, head of the Austin NAACP & longtime acquaintance of Dr Paul discusses Ron Paul’s message of liberty...

I really don't feel comfortable asking this of any race, but maybe some former patients of Dr. Ron Paul who just so happen to be of African American decent could come out on his behalf to show his compassion for the "individual", not the color of skin. It is sad to have to come to this and submit to the old media their way, but we must pull out all stops.

Put this at the top of the youtube charts and spread the message!

This should put the racist theory to rest. Audio…………

I'm black too, and I've met and spoke to Dr. Paul in person. Actually, I said one thing to him about how blacks really need to hear his message and he wouldn't stop talking to ME! I even have a picture of him talking my head off. My wife is white and she said he was rubbing her back the whole time! Lol. Actually, when she told me that I knew then that this was a very compassionate man who obviously has a great reverance for women. It's hard for people to see that there are truly good people in this world. It's rare. It's even more rare to find them on "The Hill". But this is real.

I am a white 54 year old white woman who was only 10 years old when MLK gave his Freedom speech. I knew it was important and I knew from Sam Cooke's song A Change is Going To Come, that something important was happening. When I recently saw Martin Luther King's speech again, it took my breath away. Words are not in my vocabulary with enough awe, of my respect. His words, his dreams were for ALL people. Ron Paul's talks about rights of the individual. I think we got lost for 40 years, but I hope the dream will live again

who are you supporting... huckabee? guiliani? obama?
whenever i read your comments, it makes me think you're on the wrong board.

I'm black and Ron Paul still has my support because I can see through the BS. Anyone that knows Dr. Paul knows he would not say these things. The only problem are persons that do not know Dr. Paul and have a knee jerk reaction without doing the research, people who get all their news from TV, and those that want to profit, monetary and otherwise, from this situation.

I have a feeling from the comments thus far that some of you don't understand the black community. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Also, if you have any suggestions, you can tell me those as well.

Addendum:

My personal view on the issue is a such:

-Ron Paul never has or ever will make such comments as those found in the "famous" newsletters.

-Dr. Paul is the most NON-RACIST person I have ever seen. (If you want real racism, look up Rev. Jackson and Al Sharpton)

-I prefer to be seen as an American individual, like we all are, but for the time being, I don't really care.

-Socialism devastated the black community, and its time for the community to come off of it. Single parenthood needs to stop being subsidized.(most are single black mothers)

-Educated blacks will immediately see through the BS and realize this is just a poor attempt at a smear campaign.

-Sadly racism, or perceived racism, elicits an easy knee jerk reaction from most non-educated and some educated blacks. (By non-educated I mean intellectually lazy)

-I hate to use labels, but I will do so for this example: Some whites feel the need to step in and defend blacks against racism; please don't. We can take care of ourselves, and it's actually, to me anyway, quite patronizing. (Same goes for affirmative action)

blacks supporting Ron Paul after this... how can they justify their support for him with their, friends and relatives... has anyone read those remarks.

Granted Ron Paul says he did not write them and I believe him. But it would also do lot for his denial, if he named those who did run the newsletter and who approved those articles and knows very well that Ron Paul was not the one who wrote them.

That's what needs to be done to put this to rest once and for all.

1. Seek out some African Amerian supporters of Ron Paul.
2. Put them on the paid staff of his campaign.
3. Place them with Ron Paul on the campaign trail.

This would shut down the voices..

There is life at the end of the tunnel my friends!

Quit complaining - Start doing

I have hundreds of people to call in my precinct. Want to help? Otherwise - go to: https://voters.ronpaul200... and sign up to be a precinct person (each precinct has less than 1000 people in it).

I'm voting for Ron Paul come hell or high water.

to people that they want to destroy, lies, lies and more lies:

Support the fundraiser and show them up!

I agree people should get more vocal about this on local radio shows.

But in response to comments below - How, exactly, would you "resolve" this issue?

1. Ron Paul has stated he does not have any idea who wrote those phrases. I for one, BELIEVE HIM. He has a campaign to run. Should he divert his attention & resources trying to find out information from 10+ years ago?

2. Ron Paul has discussed this over, and over, and over again, for a decade now; including the other day with Wolf Blitzer on CNN

3. Ron Paul's policies, voting record, speeches, legislation he supports, etc. all speak for itself. He is the *ONLY* candidate who discusses the racist drug laws and wants to put an end to the drug war, immediately.

What else is there?

Be FREE at last! MLK Day moneybomb - Jan. 21!

but noone listens to me.

It is the only solution...a packed press conference, Ron Paul surrounded by family, loving supporters busting out the door and down the street, kucinich, barry goldwater jr speaking up, friends of all races.

Would be a great media moment!

turn poison into medicine

I also wrote a letter and sent it to his congressional office, and posted it here and other sites as well. This issue is not going to go away till it is resolved or it kills the whole campaign.We as supporters need the ammunition to fight back and we deserve to have it resolved,otherwise it makes us look like mindless zombies following a candidate no matter what comes up like i did (STUPID) for George Bush twice (DOUBLE STUPID) i will not make this mistake twice. We have all said and even Ron said this isn't as much about him as it is the message. We need to keep the message alive and those of us involved need to stick together to fight another day if this doesn't work out. As for now this issue is a festering thorn until it is pulled out and thrown away.

The democrats have a big tent, but they have a black section with iron bars and razor wire.

RINO party is the same.

I tell you what , maybe we could arrange a weekend fishing trip between Jesse Jackson ,Al Sharpton and Ron Paul . I Think however Jesse and Al would come back with a greater understanding of the constatution. LOL

This race issue is a killer. I posted something here yesterday which was REMOVED because I dared to suggest how Ron could work out this race issue and make peace with the black community and in fact turn it to his favor.

As I said ..the post was removed.

idiots are all over this board who scream "troll" at the first sign that someone disagrees with them.

Oh well...I'll be running for local office on a Freedom platform...luckily I dont have any skeletons in my closet...I suggest the rest of you who can run put in your name for local office in your city, town etc.

This revolution was a seed. I hate to see it but since Ron can't argue his point his candidacy is dead in the water.

lates.
