In an interview earlier this month with Lew Rockwell — flagged today by BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczynski and Megan Apper — Paul asserted that members of the Congressional Black Caucus oppose military intervention abroad because they’d rather spend funds on food stamps than war.
“I was always annoyed with it in Congress because we had an anti-war unofficial group, a few libertarian Republicans and generally the Black Caucus and others did not — they are really against war because they want all of that money to go to food stamps for people here,” Paul told Rockwell.

I'm no apologist but is it possible he said that because they are generally a more liberal caucus rather than because they are black?

Then I would have to question why did he have to specifically target black lawmakers and the black caucus? No I don't think this is possible. He would've said "liberal lawmakers oppose war because they want the money for food stamps" but he was evidently concerned with a specific racial group. I wonder why?
