....he's kinda of right in a weird way, but not in the context of how he said it.

For the record, there are just as many White people on food stamps as black people.

That's not racism, that's hyper-partisanism, which one still wouldn't expect from Ron Paul (and is still wrong).

No.

I think the subtext is that black people are entirely "the other," apart from white people and only self-interested.  It's an inability to imagine that black people are thinking, reasoning human beings, rather they're like animals who are hungry and want "our" stuff.

And, there's the fact that Ron Paul has a history of publishing racist screeds, so you don't give him the benefit of the doubt where this could just be interpreted as a poor choice of words.

Yep.
It's worth noting that Lew Rockwell is head of the RPI, and was also the man behind the newsletters. Take that as you may.
