I am not a Carson partisan. This ‘revelation’ of Carson being a young thug is not only not new it comes from his own autobiographical writings. His story is one of triumph over very adverse environmental conditions . He is one black male who beat the street and became something great. Unlike our current president whose privileged background has only produced an angry rabble rouser with a chip on his shoulder, Carson's is a true story of just how far one can go in our country.
Why is this being seen as derogatory to Dr. Carson?

He is one black male who beat the street

What does that mean, "Beat the street"? And that has what to do with a person threatening their mother with a hammer and attempting to stab someone else? What did the street have to do with that?

His story is inspirational on many levels.
