Ben Carson Battles Jesse Jackson: Ferguson ‘Has Nothing to Do with Race’

Neurosurgeon and rising GOP star Ben Carson phoned in to Fox News Sunday (due to technical difficulties) this morning and debated Reverend Jesse Jackson over whether race was the predominant factor in the shooting death of Michael Brown and subsequent unrest in Ferguson, MO.

Jackson had called Brown’s death a “state execution” and linked it to a pattern of law enforcement violence against African Americans, violence that almost always goes unpunished. Carson responded that the incarceration and violence in black communities was largely a matter of personal responsibility, not racial disparities.

“If you take race out of the issue altogether and you take a group of young men and you raise them with no respect for authority, not learning to take on personal responsibility, having easy access to drugs and alcohol, they’re very likely to end up as victims of violence and incarceration,” Carson said. “Has nothing to do with race.”

Oh that Ben Carson’s WORDS would echo across the Media Plains..from Sea to Shining Sea!

[SandRat]

That will never convince Jackson or any other race bait-er

[Rennes Templar]

Reverund Jacksun was not impressed that Dr. Ben challenged his world view of victimhood and dependency.

[drbuzzard]

Jackson said: “It seems to me that when blacks kill whites, which is rare,”

unbelievable that nobody called him on that blatant lie.

People need to remember that Jackson disappears into nothingness if he can't show up with his big, professional, pot stirrer stick and keep the rancor going. Same for Al Sharpton. Just like Obozo never did anything useful, neither have these two...other than make sure the race card and the you're-a-victim card gets played.

Oh, BTW, neither man has earned the title "Rev.", so I wish the MSM would get it right. Neither graduated from a divinity school, neither has had a church, and neither has had a congregation. Gees...Sharpton was "ordained" by a phony DC preacher at age 10, but both phonies perpetuate the lie.

They are as big a pair of phoneys as their Community Organizer in Chief and his AG. No credentials, nothing but endless rabble rousing and pot stirring.

[MeshugeMikey]

I would like to axe Revrunt Jacksum why there were NO LOOTERS and no LOOTING reporting in the areas hardest hit by Last Nights Northern California EARTHQUAKE.

Doubtless he will claim WHTE PRIVILEGE

[ClearCase_guy]

For people like Jackson, the shape of the Crimean Peninsula is all about race. There is no other topic. “The Himalayas are tall! That oppresses the black man!!”

[Iron Munro]

In a televised intellectual debate, Ben Carson slaughters an unarmed Jesse Jackson.

[Kenny]

Oh yeah, technical difficulties. They just didn’t want America to see a black man trash their race narrative.

I think that with race baiters “Rev.” is a kind of honorary title similar to a Kentucky Colonel.

It is interesting to note that with Je$$e’s first appearance in Ferguson to stir the pot, he then asked for donations for his ‘church’ he was booed by blacks in the audience. Maybe some of them are waking up, finally. ;-)

The striking difference between their arguments is:

Ben Carson tells only the truth, and Jackass tells only lies.

[TexasCajun]

The facts be damned!

Those folk just want to lynch a Whitey!

A lifetime of Hate Whitey indoctrination makes them rabid.

Selective Outrage:

Brandi Murry said her little boy took off from her house in a huff on Wednesday afternoon. A short time later, he was found shot several times in the enclosed yard of a nearby apartment house. One local pastor called the killing an 'execution.'

Antonio Smith, 9 Yr Old, Chicago, IL

9-year-old is executed: Where's the outrage?

[Steelfish]

Must be a slow news day. Why FoxNews or any other media would provide TV time for race hustlers, race pimps, and race baiters, it is beyond me.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

“It seems to me that when blacks kill whites, which is rare,”...unbelievable that nobody called him on that blatant lie.

Exactly! Ever heard of the "knockout game" Doc?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Why FoxNews or any other media would provide TV time for race hustlers, race pimps, and race baiters...

So they could have Ben Carson on, yet be able to use the "Fair and Balanced" theme.
