Austin NAACP President Nelson Linder, who has known Ron Paul for 20 years, unequivocally dismissed charges that the Congressman was a racist in light of recent smear attempts, and said the reason for him being attacked was that he was a threat to the establishment. Asked directly if he thought Ron Paul was a racist, Linder responded ?No I don't,? adding that he had heard Ron Paul speak out about police repression of black communities and mandatory minimum sentences on many occasions.
