More than opinion, position. A position is an opinion that you promote, work to achieve, your philosophy. He certainly believes that people who disagree aren't sensible on these issues, but that in no way construes he feels they're stupid... just wrong.
I never wanted to get into what I am going to say but it is pretty much inevitable since it is politics but Paul will never say outright that he is a racist but can only hint at it. You can not prove hints. You can only guess that he is racist by the hints he gives you, and by his pointing out blacks in particular, it is giving out pretty strong hints that he may be a racist. But this all determines on what people consider racism too.

Disproportionate, likely because there is a disproportionate number in poverty, but it's still true. Don't bother with that seat belt, only a few cars crash.
There is a difference to be scared of all black people and avoiding situations that could get you in trouble. Being scared of all black people is irrational because it involves flawed logic. Paul either did a really bad job at explaining what he meant or he gave more hints.
