Carson: GOP Has GOP ‘Neglected’ African-American Communities
Breitbart ^ | 09/13/2015 | Pam Key

Posted on 09/13/2015 11:22:56 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Sunday on Fox News Channel’s “Media Buzz,” Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson said the Republican Party has in the past “neglected” African-American community but because of the recent chaos in race relation brought on by unrest in Ferguson, Baltimore and other cities the GOP ” has a very excellent opportunity,” to reach out and help “get business and industry and academia to invest in people.”

Herman Cain 2.0. When will the GOP lose its fascination with unqualified tokens?

(Cain at least wasn't open-borders Amnesty traitor)

Yup. I can spot these clowns a mile away. Sound off on those “oh Carson is a nice guy and a doctor” Freepers which I’ve been reading a hundred times..

Who gives a sh*t if he’s a nice guy? The puke is a liberal and GOPe stooge. Now if they can just rid themselves of their subconscious white guilt, it will be easier, trust me..

GOP must do more for a group that votes 99% for the other party?

A Republican President freed the slaves ... Republicans fought for civil rights and passed all major civil rights legislation. MLK was a Republican.

Democrats were the KKK... the White Citizens Council.

Famous democrats include Bull Conner, George Wallace, Fulbright (Clinton's mentor) and Robert Bryd - head of the United States Senate for decades - and a KKK member.

Blacks don't vote for us - but if we hadn't done the right thing by them they would still be slaves. Sometimes doing the right thing is the only answer and it's it's own reward..

Well, some may be turned off by Trump’s brash in your face personality. But on issues such as trade deals and the economy, he has much greater knowledge than Obama and Hillary Clinton combined. He could be an excellent president in helping us change course in economic policies.

Off topic, but I think we could benefit, now and in the future, to have more politicians from varied backgrounds. So many have been lawyers in their previous lives.

Ben, this isn’t going to fly. -5 in the polls next week.

I don't think Carson's supporters are listening to anything he says or learning about where he stands.

How else to explain his consistently strong polling?

Now he’s playing the Race Card.

I’m totally done with Carson.

I’m not familiar with that area? But I would guess that big numbers of blacks have moved in, causing those places to go ghetto???

Carson is polling frightening well in Iowa right now. Is it because they see him as devout? Will Iowans wake up and get a clue?

Absolutely we should have people from varied backgrounds. Right now though, Trumps background seems to be the kind we need. We need a strong leader. Carson doesn’t appear to be that kind of person.

They are more likely to admit they are at best moderates.

AKA never happen.

‘I guess Ben didn't’t get the memo about Trump garnering 25% of the black vote.”

Agree!

Too many RINOs in drag on this site repeat the lies of Boehner and McConnell that — “We tried” BS!!

“Too many RINOs in drag on this site”

Glad to see the truth making it’s way out.

He gets worse every time he opens his mouth. I fully expect a ‘white privilege’ speech from him soon.

No, Ben, you’re wrong. The GOP has NOT “neglected” the black “community”. Republican policies would have been great for blacks, in terms of education, economic and job opportunities, but they voted in lock step for the democrats for the last 50 years. They have no one to blame but themselves.

So you go for the RINO/GOPe token funded to help split the conservative vote—and then say I don’t have a clue?
