I had the honor of meeting this wonderful man and his family some years ago. He is a national treasure. God bless him and his wife Candi and their foundation.
A few years ago, I coached a young black kid on my basketball team. He wasn’t the best player on the team, but he was certainly the most impressive from a character standpoint. He knew my son from advanced math classes at school; the kid was one of the brightest kids in the school and everyone knew it. His goal (which I have no doubt he will succeed at) is to study at John’s Hopkins under Dr. Carson. He picked the right role model.
I wish our media did a better job of promoting Dr. Carson as a role model than the gangsta thugs they routinely portray. Of course, if they did, the whole race game is over, so I guess there’s no incentive for that.
