For King-Baker and many other African-Americans, the vast majority of whom are Democrats, there are two Carsons: One is a genius doctor and inspirational speaker and writer who talks of limitless horizons; the other is a White House candidate who pushes conservative politics and wishes to “de-emphasize race.”

Can't be having no de-emphasis of race" going on.

and neither one of them is qualified to be president.

One apparently doesn’t know much about political business:

Donors gave a super PAC $6 million. Candidates actually got about $140,000.

And where is the so-called dichotomy?

[TBP]

I’ve read that Dr. Carson was at least partial inspiration for Dr. Cliff Huxtable.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

We were getting three or four calls a day from Carson for President for a few months. I knew they had nothing to do with Carson.

"Here's a black man who rose to the top--"

(Blacks cheer)

"... through hard work and personal effort."

(Blacks stop cheering and start hurling insults.)

rofl!!

i’m gonna give your address and a hammer :)

[dp0622]

hopefully not the serial rapist part,

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

They see two Ben Carsons because of their own double vision, refusing to accept both parts go together perfectly.

So.........what African Americans see is a crisp black outside with a squishy white middle? I wonder what American Blacks think, except apparently none of those exist.

[TomGuy]

Carson or one of his PACs was running commercials 18 months ago — before the actual campaigning started.

I wondered then, who is he and who is actually behind the push for his candidacy? Sounds more and more like it is those in it for the money.

[TBP]

That’s Cosby, not Huxtable.

[dp0622]

no. MLK would be rolling over in his grave if he heard that.

If there’s room in that grave with all the prostitutes :)

that was uncalled for. oh well.

[TBP]

Didn’t Bill Clinton teach us that being a serial rapist is a qualification for the presidency?

[dp0622]

sorry.

[dp0622]

i think that’s what got him elected among dems.
