Ron Paul strongly opposed Jim Crow laws. He has personal beliefs, but he also strongly believes they shouldn't be government policy (see: His Christian views).

Leaving it to the State like it was left to up until a couple decades ago? Since the Feds have taken over American education has measurably declined, quite a lot in fact.
he is on tape saying he wants to privatize all schools. he is like a comically old, frail, stupid ron swanson.

the civil rights act ended jim crow laws, he opposes it.

he considered what went on in the south (and elsewhere) at the time to be merely "bad things" and not unconstitutional. i have transcripts of him saying this at the ames debate last year.

i am facetious at a time or two, but there is no disinformation. challenge me at your own peril.
Challenge you over what? You know the things you said in that post that was disinformation. You've been explained why many times. You just refuse to step outside your straw man arguments.
ran as libertarian, not independent.
Being that you don't consider libertarian independent, than there would be zero reason for him to run independent... because he isn't one.

The Straw Man Fallacy
Example: People who think abortion should be banned have no respect for the rights of women. They treat them as nothing but baby-making machines. That's wrong. Women must have the right to choose.

but will they beat them in the non-tangibles of socialization and conformity?
Socialization is important, but conformity? Something seriously wrong with our educational system teaching "conformity" imo. Although it does it's best at social engineering. Reminds me of socialist agendas.

i like the mistake lol.

i disagree that we should HAVE to show up in a suit though. Guess it depends on the employer one is seeking and whatnot but that is less conformity and more social awareness i think. i've known many a hard worker who was also intelligent and can't stand suits. i happen to be one of them. Not saying i've never worn a suit to an interview, but it's sad that clean and respectable attire isn't always enough to make an employer take notice.

being aware of social standards and fitting into them is conformity.

i don't like wearing suits either besides to a wedding. imagine my dilemma last year when i got an interview to work at a plant nursery and they blanked me on what attire i should show up in. i mean, who shows up for an interview at a working in the dirt place in a suit? i decided on the suit without jacket or tie and sleeves partially rolled up. i got the job.

The necessity to fit into them is what i protest to. After all, aren't the majority non-gay, self-absorbed, judgemental, etc? Thereby making gays, unselfish, non-judgemental people non-conformist and/or abberant?
