“Keep talking Ben. It’s what you’re good at. “
Keep pandering, Ben. It’s what you’re good at.
Will the Press start saying this is Carson’s Waterloo, or is that only reserved for White Billionaires from New York?
No, I don’t mean Bloomberg?
I can see a rise in Ted Cruz standings in 3....2.....1
I recall growing up near Buffalo, NY. At one point in time — the ‘60s, I think — the do-gooders came in and revamped the “neglected African-American” areas of time. It was beautiful. For about one year. Five years after the big lib makeover, same ol’ ghettos.
We just had a 14 year old black kid shoot a 15 year old black kid and that was followed by a small group of people marching in the streets. How does marching in the streets do anything when the same single mothers who are marching have no idea or control of what their teen kids are doing? That march is really just saying “Someone else needs to take care of this violence”.
This is the same old s____t over and over again. Some Republican politician says that Republicans neglect black communities, or don’t have a good track record in black communities, or need to do more, blah blah blah. How, exactly, have Republicans “neglected” black communities? How have they “ignored” them? What is the basis for the comment, other than a route, Pavlovian response to the guilt trip, stereotype-enforcing question that the media loves to ask Republicans. They asked, he gave the right answer, and now the press can write stories about how even Republicans think that Republicans neglect blacks. Its so stupid.
sorry- he’s absolutely correct..
the fact the GOPe has not embraced Carson or Thomas Sowell or Allen West or Starr Parker or Dineen Borrelli, etc, etc, etc is proof of this and further proof how stoopid the GOPe is...
As soon as he goes racial he’ll be back to 4% in the polls.
I’m surprised that it took him this long. He is a liberal, after all.
I absolutely oppose the approach to racial issues that has been offered by the Left leaners in both parties, since the late 1940s; have steadfastly opposed the NAACP, SPLC, etc.. But frankly, that does not mean that I would not be willing to encourage initiatives in every community for self-improvement, for building a better community, for recognizing, as Booker T. Washington recognized, that while we all have separate interests, we also have common interests.
In rejecting Governmental intervention in society--in rejecting every form of social engineering;--there is not a logical basis for also rejecting a recognition of common interests. Right now there is an immense common interest, in Republicans' reassuring the law abiding residents of Black neighborhoods, that we all have a common interest in making sure that they are protected from the expanding criminal elements, which have been unleashed by corrupt local figures in their neighborhoods in such places as Baltimore, Ferguson, etc..
And given the displacement of working class Blacks by the flood of illegal entrants from South of the border, Republicans who show an interest in the welfare of the subject communities, have the best opportunity since the New Deal began the systematic corruption of Black neighborhoods, to actually reverse the trend.
Now, for the necessary disclaimer. My leaning politically, is definitely for Cruz or Trump at this point. But I believe that Dr. Carson clearly deserves our respect.
Ben who?
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
