If Ben Carson he weren’t Black, he wouldn’t be pushed by the Republicans to run and he wouldn’t be running. America should stop making race the first factor. If it’s a Black you’re wanting to back, then Allen West has more relevant experience to be president of the U.S. than does Ben Carson. West could and would run even if he were not Black.
All things are not equal. Colon Powell is proof that being of a (slightly - in his case) darker skin hue is not enough to save the country.
