for some background on why i talk the way I do

people could have been bigoted in the past
we can fall victim to what the news peddles to us
I fell for it too once.
and now i'm one of the most anti-war posters on this site.
Racism leads to violence and war (see: American Civil War.) If you're completely anti-war, you should be completely anti-racist.
You're probably not going to take this well, but you're wrong. You've been wrong in this entire thread. It's ok to be wrong; we've all been there.
What's not okay is trying to find alternative explanations for clear facts, in order to make your claims retroactively true. You hopped from "he's not racist" to "this racist post was from a staffer" to "even if he is racist, he's anti-war and I care more about that" to "I tolerate racism to a degree". That's four different arguments, and no, they don't support each other.
Ron Paul's Twitter account posted some racist sh*t, and he didn't do anything except delete it and blame a staffer. He never said whether that same staffer still works for him or not. He's also said loads of racist shyt in the past.
Whether he personally posted it or not, he's still responsible for his social media posts.
