Just because he has received so many awards, etc., doesn’t mean he isn’t humble. I think he is the type who would thank God for all his achievements. None of us really know any of these candidates personally - only by what we see and hear on tv.

Okay, might seem a tad excessive, but don’t sports guys have places for all their jerseys, trophies and awards? People hang pics of themselves with people they admire or whatever - celebrities, etc. Maybe the Jesus pic was a gift or is a comforting image to him. Doesn’t mean it’s a huge theological statement of doctrine. Hunters have trophy rooms, and so on.

I’m not sold out for Carson but the hit pieces are just piling on. It’s so obvious it’s character assassination. Carson has his faults like everyone does. Just seems like a pathetic tactic to me.

LOL. Race is a Marxist/Darwinian construct to divide and conquer.

I am just happy that Jesus is male-—and being dark skinned doesn’t make him “Black”. He looks about the color of my brother, who happens to be 100% German, when he works outside, putting roofs on buildings without a shirt. Carson is one-half white, after all.

Are you kidding me? Appears to be a basement room with a pool table wher his awards are displayed. The media never ceases to amaze me with their Conservative witch hunts.

I had no idea that Jesus was black.

And lives in Maryland.

Unlikely. He would have looked like today’s Israelis rather than a descendant of Ishmael.

The guy is literally one of the BEST surgeons in the WORLD!

Do those liberal media types expect him to live in a dammed shack?

Why don’t they pay a visit to the politicians and high end professional athletes. See what kind of ghetto they’re living in??...

I always assumed He looked like an Israeli...unless He took after His dad’s side, more.
