What? No trolls posting "Ron Paul is a racist"? Kind of hard to argue with direct, video testimony from an idividual who can attest to Ron paul's character with clearly no political motivation. From a time when Ron Paul was not even involved in politics yet:

Elections
Inspired by his belief that the monetary crisis of the 1970s was predicted by the Austrian School and caused by excessive government spending on the Vietnam War[7] and welfare,[18] Paul became a delegate to the Texas Republican convention and a Republican candidate for the United States Congress. In 1974, incumbent Robert R. Casey defeated him for the 22nd district. When President Gerald Ford appointed Casey to direct the Federal Maritime Commission, Paul won an April 1976 special election to the vacant office.[19] Paul lost some months later in the general election, to Democrat Robert Gammage, by fewer than 300 votes (0.2%), but defeated Gammage in a 1978 rematch, and was reelected in 1980 and 1982.

Oh, I know. Sorry to not "get it" at first. Here is what must have happened:
Ron Paul knew someday that 20 years in the future Lew Rockwell would put out some racist stuff under Dr. Paul's name when he was busy giving free medical care to poor people, and 20 years after that, that he would be running for President so he thought he should be nice to at least one black person in his life so he could then make a video attesting to Dr. Paul's character. Does that about cover it?
I think Michael J. Fox and Doc Brown better keep that DeLorean under better wraps and not loan it out to Doc Paul I guess.
Plus, lets be REAL honest here. This was not just some random black guy drinking from a whites only fountain or sitting in the front of the bus, even if it was past that era, it was not THAT far after. This was a black guy who was so bold as to marry a pristine white woman and make a (gasp) mixed race child... in Texas.
If there is one thing that will drive a true racist up a fucking wall it is some black guy saying "where the white women at"? If Ron Paul was even remotely of a racist mind would this not be a perfect chance to express those views, especially since it was before his public life?
To you snarky fucks out there, watch the video. This guy is dripping with sincerity and I genuinely felt moved by his story. Dr Paul clearly had a positive impact on this person and if you think he has some ulterior motive or is some operative you clearly dont have much judgement. I find the tone of his presentation and demeanor to be totally consistent with someone telling the truth and my guess is that the trolls on here feel the same which is why I could practically hear crickets chirping right now as they have all crawled back into their holes.
