Just Carson following Obama's play book....
and I quote Obama:
"It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned:
(White) People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves.
They were more than satisfied, they were relieved -- such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young man.

from going there, here is the rest of the article.
_______________________________
Homosexuality as a Choice
Carson told CNNâs Chris Cuomo that homosexuality is a choice âbecause a lot of people who go into prison, go into prison straight, and when they come out, theyâre gay.â
Anarchy
Carson told Foxâs Chris Wallace if we donât begin to deal with our problems now, that there might not be an election in 2016 because of widespread anarchy.
Affordable Care Act
At the 2013 Values Voters Summit, Carson said, âYou know Obamacare is the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery.â
Same Sex Marriage
Carson told Foxâs Sean Hannity that marriage is between a man and a woman, adding, âItâs a well established fundamental pillar of society, and no group, be they gays, or people who believe in bestiality... they donât get to change the definition.â
Nazis
Carson has implied on numerous occasions that Democrats and anyone who votes for Obama can be compared to Nazis. According to www.forwardprogressives.com, Carson once said, âMost of the people in Nazi Germany did not believe in what Hitler was doing, but did they speak up? Did they stand up for what they believe in? They did not, and you see what happened.â Carson has also said that âthe likelihood of Holocaust would have been greatly diminished if the people of Germany had been armed.â So let me get this straight. If German Jews had each been armed with a rifle, and spoke their beliefs, they could have defeated Hitlerâs army. Makes perfect sense.
Mass Shootings
Carson recently told CBS News that lives would have been saved if students at Umpqua Community College had been armed. Said Carson, âThe shooter can only shoot one person at a time. He cannot shoot a whole group of people...I would not just stand there and let him shoot me.â Interesting that Carson is a gun expert, yet obviously hasnât heard of magazines with multiple rounds of ammo. And I suppose every student who carries a gun will be cool under fire and can kill the attacker without hesitation and without harming others. In Carsonâs perfect world, Hitler could have been stopped if only there were community colleges in Nazi Germany.
AP Terrorism
Referring to an AP History course that teaches students about civil disobedience, Carson told an audience, âI think most people when they finish that course, theyâd be ready to go sign up for ISIS.â
In fairness to Dr. Carson, he has attempted to walk back some of his more ridiculous statements, but we need a President who thinks before he speaks.
We also need a President whose views and positions are based on science and a working knowledge of government and the law. We canât afford to have Chance the Gardener for our next President. !
