Carson In 1999: White People “Have No Grasp” On History Of Racial Violence In U.S

In his 1999 book, Dr. Ben Carson wrote that our nation’s history on racial injustices made it impossible for the black community to think of the judicial system in anything but racial terms and that white Americans were only able to view racial violence in a modern context.

In his book, The Big Picture, released by Zondervan, Carson argued white Americans had “no grasp on the history of racial violence in this country.” Carson wrote of a time his mother was thrown in jail for a minor traffic violation as an example of personal history of the racial injustice in criminal justice system.

Well ben's not the only one who can play that victim card.
Maybe his mom was arrested because she was a woman of any color.

And no woman has ever been elected as vice president or president of the united states.

And if I recall correctly even black men could vote before women could of any color.

See how that victim card works...

Carson and race would be a problem. We have had enough of that wounded Black ego in power now.

Carson is getting the support of a lot of Evangelicals I know. I'm not sold on him. I think his nice guy image along with his story is helping Carson. He's the outsider without the A-hole factor of Trump.

I'm staying with Cruz. I know where he stands. He's got a proven record.

The amount of fear and hate an average Black American has to European Americans is hard for European Americans to understand.

I have a cousin that married a black man, and we never treated him any different (we are a bunch of arrogant a$$es, so one more makes little difference). He comes from a good up bringing, and is a successful person by any standard.

However, in the back of his mind, he is still worried that he will not be treated the same because of his skin color, and resents it. He has been told all of his life that EVERYTHING that goes wrong is because he is black. He is tried not to do that with their kids, but they had to choose which society to belong to. It wasn’t easy on them.

So I am not surprised that Dr Carlson has this view. I would be surprised if he didn’t.

The irony is that White People today have no idea how much racial violence is being directed AT THEM thanks to a complicit MSM.

DING! DING DIN We have a winner!! BTT!!!

Well reasoned post. I wish people would keep it in mind when they are tempted to pile onto Dr. Carson.

Has no one learned anything from eight years of Obama?
