It is not Ron Paul's fault at all that he is making an error but...
It sounds bad when in response to accusations of racism, "Then why do the blacks support me?"
I don't know what the proper thing to call people with dark skin is these days but the campaign and, more specifically, need to get a better way of referring to that group of people.
The problem is that dark skinned people keep changing what they want to be called. The preferred term was once negro, then colored, then people of color, then dark skinned, then Afro-American, then black, then African American, and then black again.
It's really very confusing especially when you have organizations like the NAACP (the C being colored?)
I think Ron Paul should probably just use the word minorities but in any event he should consult with a team of political strategists to develop a more effective way of deflecting the racism accusations.
He also frequently makes the mistake of repeating the false accusations as in "You say I hate black people but I don't hate black people..."
That is not a good way to address this.
The truth is that Ron Paul is not at all a racist but he is so flabbergasted at how preposterous the accusations are that he seems exasperated and that makes him not react in the most effective way.
Please forward this info to HQ fast and improve or clarify this message as you see fit.
Just make sure Ron Paul gets it soon.
