Default Re: Ron Paul\'s racist comments

From Paul's newsletter:
<font color="red">The criminals who terrorize our cities--in riots and on every non-riot day--are not exclusively young black males, but they largely are. As children, they are trained to hate whites, to believe that white oppression is responsible for all black ills, to "fight the power," and to steal and loot as much money from the white enemy as possible. Anything is justified against "The Man." And "The Woman.' </font>

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you disagree that some children are raised this way?

[/ QUOTE ]

The author alludes that all young black criminals are raised this way,

[/ QUOTE ]

No he doesn't. "They" obviously refers to the subject of the last sentence, which is "the criminals who terrorize".
(who he claims are largely black) This is quite a different statement than "all blacks are raised this way".

[/ QUOTE ]

So your rationalization that the comments aren't racist is to pick apart the semantics and grammar?

Do you apply such high standards to all allegedly racist material, are only that of the prophet Ron Paul?
