Ron Paul Touches On Race Relations In The United States

The following are quotes taken from an Interview with the Muckraker Report:

“As I wrote in a recent article, I found it [the Don Imus controversy] very discouraging. The young women on the basketball team are over eighteen and can speak for themselves. I believe that introducing third parties to speak collectively for minority groups is inherently racist, since it denies the rights of minorities to speak as individual people.”

“It points to our society’s uncomfortable obsession with race today, in which people are viewed in terms of racial group identities rather than as unique individuals. The solution to this I believe is liberty, which encourages a sense of personal pride and responsibility, regardless of gender, skin color, or ethnicity. Racism is a sin of the heart, which can be solved only by mutual tolerance and respect, not by government”
