Sorry, but that claim is absurd.
Let's speak realistically here. What government effort has done more to harm black Americans than any other? The drug war, easily. It enables the police to break into people's homes on the slightest pretense (in what rational world does suspicion that somebody might have marijuana justify breaking into their home, guns drawn, in the middle of the night?), haul them into court, and apply mandatory minimum sentencing to put them in prison for a non-violent offense, keeping them away from their families and possibly training them to enter a life of crime by virtue of their daily exposure to real criminals. The drug war has created a black market which destroys African American families by artificially inflating the prices of drugs and introducing violent conflict (since you can't exactly appeal to the law to regulate something which is illegal in the first place), sending young black men off to prison and thereby forever tarnishing their life, their reputation, their job prospects. In supporting an end to the war on drugs, Paul represents the greatest possibility of hope for America's black community.
