Video here

Just when you thought you heard it all from him

Ben Carson at HUD: “There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less.”

Something's genuinely wrong with that fella.

This is as bad as Texas calling the slave trade the Triangular trade.

The perfect context of Ben Carson is exemplified in the movie Get Out. A man vacated of his identity.

My solution was that we find a world renowned expert in urban development and get him/her to do a neurosurgical operation on Ben Carson!!!!!

Ben Carson is a right wing- white supremacist-radical christian fundamentalist.

Nothing surprises me about him.

He proves you do not need to be a "white person" to admire, love and promote a white nationalist-white supremacist ideology, he has been doing it all his life.

It's really a shame that a black man is trying to diminish the sufferings of his ancestors.

In reply to black

Duh????

Who told you he sees himself as a Black Man? See my post above

 
black 2017-03-07 07:13:36 

I don't think Ben can ever recover from this. Slavery, was a terrible crime perpetrated against Black People.

You will never hear a Jew minimize the the Holocaust.

 
ProWI 2017-03-07 10:04:28 

Is it possible that Carson fast becoming a "Coon"?

Carson should buy some skin whitener. Of all the stupid things to say, this has to be the worst. The slave trade was and remains one of the worst acts in human history. I tell you, if some people could rewrite history.

Spare a thought for Ben,he is trapped in a black skin.

Carson like Judge Clarence Thomas is Afro-Saxon.

 
Tryangle 2017-03-07 15:36:04 

One of the better responses I saw:

Calling slaves "immigrants" is like calling rape victims "sexual partners" or kidnap victims "roommates."

 
dayne 2017-03-07 15:36:17 

'Uncle Tom ' Ben Carson like Clarence Thomas is a Afro-Saxon, he is trying to sanitize the acts of certain people committed in the past. Nice try.

No No No.

He is not Afro Saxon. Afro Saxons simply believe that the development of black peoples in the new world must follow a British Euro model and culture as a means to economic and social mobility

See my post above- Carson is a radical- fundamentalist- Evangelical Christian- with a white supremacist world view

I like that definition also, an Afro-White Supremacist.

 
Tryangle 2017-03-08 15:23:56 

So now it's been shown that Barack Obama used similar terminology in 2015?...

I am not going to defend anyone using the word "immigrants" but I also heard him using the words, "involuntary and slaves" in the same sentence.

Bad choice of words.
