I was wondering why you focused so much on racism hate? Have you been mistreated because you have a mixed grandchild or wife? just wondering. If so, I would like you to have a different perspective, the majority of people are trying to be more loving.
I have never been to Martinsville, although I have always wanted to see the nascar race. I too grew up with racism in the south, but I didn't give my focus to that kind of hate. I always knew it was wrong and I had a Baptist pastor that wouldn't allow blacks to a wedding or funeral. The black children couldn't come to Bible school anymore after a young black child was accidentally dropped on his head, playing on the play ground. His family sued. I don't know, the whole town knew the racist pastor was wrong but still piled in every Sunday. I just couldn't participate in the church thing after bible school days of making crafts and eating snacks. Have a nice day. :...Rand Paul testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday, arguing against mandatory minimum sentencing. He said the war on drugs has disproportionately affected minorities to the point that fully one-third of African American males are prohibited from voting. Imagine that, a Republican who wants MORE African Americans to vote! He went so far as to cite an ACLU report. That's heresy!
Sen. Paul deviated from his prepared statement to say:
"Imagine this, and I'm glad the President has such great compassion because he's admitted, like a lot of other individuals who are now elected to office, that at one time he made mistakes as a youth. And I think - what a tragedy it would have been had he gone to prison. What a tragedy it would have been if America wouldn't have gotten to see Barack Obama as a leader."
I'm sure Canadian-born Sen. Rafael Cruz has taken note of Paul's words and is already preparing an attack ad.
He never really had a chance. Senator Paul is a side show within the GOP.
to social realities, truth and someone telling the truth shall never get elected to any offices of the land.
Being that said, Senator Rand Paul is correct in his statement. Ted Cruz is an idiot of the first degree.

That goes for both you and Rand Paul.
I don't really give a crap about the racial overtone of his comments, locking up our youth of any color for victimless crimes is a travesty IMO.
As for Obama, I think I will simply confine my comments to Rand Paul. I think everyone knows my opinion of Obama.
who your GOP pick would be? I want to see Rand Paul and Hillary Clinton debate. I have a feeling Rand doesn't stand a chance going against our fascist, imperialistic move of corporations owning everything and nations falling apart.
