Notoriously out-of-touch crazy person refers to slaves as immigrants ...in 2015

Unacceptable!

By now, you’ve probably heard about Ben Carson’s racism. The world-renowned brain surgeon is once again being portrayed as an out-of-touch idiot. This time, it’s because he had the shameful audacity to compare slaves to immigrants.

Clearly, that’s awful.

Is there a rush to go there?

Implication being they immigrated unwillingly.

Without stirring up too much of a storm, I could make the argument that a lot of Jews emigrated from Eastern Europe "unwillingly".

As an example, a relative of mine had a thriving tavern and a relatively stable and decent existence there until the 1930s, when some putz and his blind followers made life so difficult that he and his family came to America. Had it not been for the threat of enslavement or worse, I wonder if he would have willingly put his wife and 7 kids through the trials and tribulations of such a trip? In addition to the overland and boat trip in steerage, they spent a couple days in the "paupers area" of Ellis Island because they came here with little but the clothes on their back.

The bottom line here is that it is okay for Obama, a democRAT, to say slaves were immigrants, but hells bells, if Carson, a Republican says it, he's an out-of-touch, racist idiot clown.

Double standard? Absolutely.

Liberia was once one of the most stable of the African states. Now it is as dysfunctional as the rest.

“Life in America was not always easy,” he said. “It wasn’t always easy for new immigrants. Certainly it wasn’t easy for those of African heritage who had not come here voluntarily and yet in their own way were immigrants themselves. There was discrimination and hardship and poverty. But, like you, they no doubt found inspiration in all those who had come before them. And they were able to muster faith that, here in America, they might build a better life and give their children something more.” ... President Barak Obama
