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.
