Nevertheless, the liberal media has tried very hard to make this the defining political issue of a time when the economy is in terrible shape, we are fighting two wars, terrorism remains a very real concern, Venezuala is facing a potential power struggle, Christian are being ethnically cleansed throughout the middle east, China and Russia are flexing their muscles, and a halfwit despot is threatening us with nuclear attack. And in doing so, they compare the gay marriage struggle to the Civil Rights movement. If I were a black man, I would be outraged.
If you can get past McWhorter's brainwashed fixation with gay marriage, he DOES make some excellent points. Obviously that is not the only thing Dr. Carson has been talking about, and it is clearly not the reason why liberals have been attacking him for being a perceived traitor to his race. Still, if Republicans want to reach out to black voters, especially smart but liberal indoctrinated black voters, they have to understand that the liberal media drives the message that Black America hears.
I don't have an answer to any of this. I just think this is an interesting column.
The actual quote of Carsons was that it didn’t matter who you are,
you don’t get to change the definitions of the pillars of civilization.
So conservatives are racist for pointing out liberal racism? That’s the sort of “logic” that powers MSNBC.
Dr. McWhorter makes a fair point.
By the way, McWhorter and Carson have something in common: they are both absolutely brilliant in their fields. I listened to some McWhorter lectures on linguistics and I’ve never heard a professor who could explain things better.
It’s getting a little confusing.
I’m saying you’re a racist because you think others are racist for saying that a man of a certain race says that people who are not his race are racist because he calls them racists, because they expect a certain mentality out of everyone in his race?
Have I got that right?
To which “Republicans” is the author referring? He quotes Carson, but where are the names of the Republicans that he claims are using the race card? Did I miss something?
Of course, the left can't be racist. < /s>
Funny what happens to people when their tactics are - finally - used against them. This is the way to fight liberals. Shove it back in their face and make it hurt.
Funny. I’ve never heard these people call out the liberals on their cries of ‘racism’.
It is a race issue, the Human Race. It is the Ultimate Race Issue. Sexual deviation from natures simple and obvious path is a direct threat to the human race's survival. The disease vectors introduced to the race by such actions is a serious danger to the survival of humanity's society and biological security. Most serious plagues come from cross species transmission of viral vectors, and the STD hot spot within society that is fueled by the multiple partners of a "gay" lifestyle mixed with fecal sex is a direct biological danger to the society that they live within.
This is not about partners, nor is it about fairness, it is about attempting to normalize the indefensible and despicable behavior of people who have given themselves over to their lusts. Imagine the death toll if there were a disruption of the access to antibiotics due to war or if any of the major STD's became antibiotic resistant with such high rates of infection in society now.
Three generations ago sexual promiscuity was a self correcting problem, such life styles were short due to death by disease. Now with the combination of the wide availability of antibiotics mixed with a liberal agenda of non-personal responsibility it is a prevalent problem that is a ticking time bomb in the Human Race.

Carson is #1 on the journ-0-list “must destroy” list.
The attacks on him I’ve seen on Facebook are disgusting.
Dr. Benjamin Carson’s Amazing Speech at the National Prayer Breakfast

Still love watching this.
Let's see, whites being called racist for criticizing a black politician's ideas and policies . . . let's see isn't that the automatic response to ANY comments by whites which vaguely question ANYTHING Obama does??
And, any black man, no matter how accomplished, how intelligent, how successful, if he espouses a little conservatism, who wanders off the plantation by questioning the out and out communism they've been spoon-fed for the last 60 years - they are automatically a “sell-out” to their race and an “uncle Tom” to whitey.
What a flaming HYPOCRITE!!
Saul Alinsky would be proud of how the left isolates and demonizes their opponents - to great effect unfortunately.
McWhorter completely misses the point. The racism is in the left demanding that a black person toe the liberal line to be authentically black and not an Uncle Tom. So Carson's opposition to gay marriage fits here.
All criticism of any black liberal is racist. All criticism of any black conservative is legitimate.
These are the rules, people!!
This is bunk, and you’re overselling it.
How do Republican’s/Conservatives ever get to “use” talented, conservative minorities? By letting them be the talented, thinking people that they are. Only a Liberal/Democrat, who sees all people in light of their usefullness to themselves, can see it any other way.
There’s a big Black Hole through this contorted, rambling writing, and his name is Clarence Thomas. He does more for the Conservative cause by being a brilliant Justice than he ever would as some kind of poster-child that this so-called author thinks all people can be reduced to. So, who tried to “use” him?
Conservatives can support Dr. Ben Carson because they know he is right on the issues. Whether the Liberals in the Media will let Blacks hear the message is the real issue, and this stupid author gives them a pass.
During slavery in addition to the slave catchers they also had a smaller group of slave breakers. Their job was to deal with uppity blacks who didn’t get the message and refused to work, had the wrong attitude or repeatedly tried to escape. Not only was this to punish the slave and make them fallin line but to deliver a message to all the other slaves.

In today’s world the MSM fills that role to keep any minority including women in their place on the liberal plantation. That’s why they keep going after Sarah Palin. No matter what they do to her she keeps getting up and fighting back against the liberal plantation owners. Ben Carson hasn’t gotten the message and got back up after they beat him the first time. They have to teach him a lesson.
The author of the article seems to leave out the fact that white & black liberals are calling Dr. Carson a “token” and an “uncle tom.” That is racist! The author of the article needs to go back to the drawing board and deal in facts this time around.
NO. No there isn't.
Blah...blah...blah...same ole liberal, socialist, commie, fascist, shi’ite!
