Rand Paul Favors Allowing Racial Discrimination

Thu, May 20, 2010 at 1:36:22 pm

The Page One blog in Kentucky points out that Rand Paul made his views on civil rights and discrimination perfectly clear in a letter to the editor of the Bowling Green Daily News in May 2002: Rand Paul Made Same Racial Comments in 2002.

From Rand Paul’s letter:

Decisions concerning private property and associations should in a free society be unhindered. As a consequence, some associations will discriminate.

[…]

A free society will abide unofficial, private discrimination – even when that means allowing hate-filled groups to exclude people based on the color of their skin.
