On one hand, I am glad that his views on race haven't been blown up in the media.
On the other hand, he implies the same false idea that many politicians and others seem to believe-- the welfare rolls in America are stacked with black people.
Remember what I have said several times about how so many white people make it so difficult to be a black Conservative?
He doesn't come right out and say it, but I bet he believes that the protections that minorities have in America not only are not necessary, but were never necessary! After all, we were godly, happy and singing!
It's impossible to look at his statement and not wonder what he means, not wonder where America would be if we followed his logic on race all the way out.
Go ahead, act like I'm some left-winged, race-baiting, communist looking for hand-outs and racism under every rock, in every nook and cranny of American life. You would be wrong, but it has never stopped other Conservatives from saying this before whenever anyone brings up the real fact that many white Conservatives have deep rooted racial prejudices that has plagued the Republican Party since their convenient inclusion of the "Dixie-crats" during the Civil Rights Era.
We saw this same phenomenon with Ron Paul-- it's a soft approval of racial prejudice by never calling out the racial prejudice, never officially condoning it, but rarely condemning it when it rears its ugly head, which happens more often than what good white Conservatives seem able to recognize.
Stop the lying! Today's GOP is NOT the Party of Lincoln! The GOP really needs to address and correct this in order to grow into the 21st century.
