With over 1 Million blacks in the for-profit prison system, any African-American not supporting Ron Paul 100% ... should be smacked.

We have been waging the drug war since Nixon was in office and ever year, we lose. Th drug war has devastated African American communities and will continue to do so until we realize it is fundamentally as absurd as prohibition.

Brother DV, do you think the disparity is due to racism?
DV said, "There is no Racism. These are all just faith based abstractions, words used to describe psychological phenomena."
Racism?
Nah P. Not that Michael Fisher simpleminded type of racism.
This problem is less the consequence of what others do to us than it is the consequence of something we do to ourselves.
I think the disparity is due to many ignorant decisions made by black people.
Black people CONTINUING TO vote for Democratic politicians, who perpetuate this predatory drug policy that has imprisoned millions, killed thousands, increased drug addiction, destroyed families, and devastated our community - is like Jews voting for Nazis who were perpetuating the Holocaust.
Let's not blame others by chalking this problem up to "racism".
Obama offers us an "Audacity of Hope".
Ron Paul offers to stop funneling us into prisons.
To hell with the race talk - pick.
The sadest part in all of this BS political show is rational Ron Paul is pegged as a complete and total radical.
You are right KP,
The slave Massa has convinced the slaves that John Brown is a crazy nut they should fear.

The war on drugs is absurd from the perspective of the common citizen, and downright evil from the perspective of those disproportionately targetted by it.
However, when viewed from the perspective of that demographic which principally profits from its continuation, it makes perfect sense. Don't count on it to go away anytime soon.
Ron Paul is a radical, but that's a good thing. He definitely wants to depart from the "usual or traditional."
I agree with a lot Ron Paul "promises." I hate to play the devil's advocate considering I'm an optimist, but how many times have crooked ass politicians bamboozled naive people to vote for them by making a bunch of seductive false promises.
Here in GA, our governor (Sonny Perdue), duped the very people who put him into office by promising that he would let the people vote to bring the old confederate state flag back. The flag was the last thing he was thinking about after elected. To date, there are a bunch of red necks, who voted in huge numbers for the first time, that still hold protest with the theme, "Sonny Lied."
PD,
Continue to listen to Ron Paul. I'd be interested in what you think after you've had a chance to discern the difference between him and every other candidate in this race.
The others are promising to fix the sneeze.
Paul has a plan to kill the virus.
CNu, the drug laws are very profitable.
Ron Paul, is reminding people the drug laws are not cut in stone. They are there simply because we TOLERATE them.
That's why I blame us, particularly black people who suffer from them so much, for the perpetuation of these laws.
What kind of men are we to sit back and watch hundreds of thousands of nonviolent drug offenders warehoused in cages for 10, 15 and 20 years?
Some of us have the nerve to still be mad about slavery, which happened 250 years ago, while an equally egregious crime occurs today.

Unconscious sheep with full bellies, weak knees, and even weaker spines?
Ron Paul doesn't care about negroes, in fact he condiers 95% of them in D.C. to be "criminal or semi-criminal".
He also has stated he wants to quarentine AIDS carriers, and constantly complains about BANKS and PAPER MONEY.
Racist, insane, and a neo-confederate.
