I think this is what is causing the stir:
“I see an America where criminal justice is applied equally and any law that disproportionately incarcerates people of color is repealed.”
Since disproportionately more Blacks are incarcerated for murder, he seems to have made his first gaffe in his announcement speech.
what if someone ran for president .. and no one cared :)

That’s exactly right.
I don't know for certain but could he have been saying... "Any law which is used to put black people in jail while giving a slap on the wrist to a white person (disproportionately incarcerate) who does essentially the same thing should be changed."
I am guessing he is talking about penalties for crack vs. penalties for powdered cocaine.
It is a form of triangulation that is also being used by Obama. He doesn't really care about gay people but he does care about destroying the military, Christianity and small business. Therefor he partners with the gays to infiltrate the military, demoralize and disenfranchise Christians and force small businesses to comply with ridiculous mandates.
In this instance, Paul is mainly in favor of abolishing federal drug laws. If he can curry favor with blacks by pointing out how they are being screwed by them he can gain support from a sought after demographic group while achieving an ideological goal.
