Funny statement in a thread based on an attack on Dr. Carson that didn't even happen.

You probably watch MSNBC and love it, likely don't see any connection with them pushing leftie ideals, so that figures.
I understand Che's politics...if your making the socialist connection between Che and MSNBC what does either have to do with racism. Racism at MSNBC is the topic of the thread.

That is the mis-connection in logic I'm having a problem with.

No sir, I do not watch MSNBC. Or advocate for MSNBC. But I will defend their right to explore any subject as I do the same for Fox News; which I dont watch either.

Noise from either the far Left or the far Right doesn't interest me.

Uh; I'm really start to think that an "Oreo" is a nasty way of saying a Black person talks proper and does well in life. In other words: NOT a hood rat.

When I critizise Dr. Condolezza Rice, I do so on her politics, not becasue she is a well spoken, well educated black woman.

So why if I question Dr. Carson's comments all of a sudden I'm attacking a well spoken, highly educated black person for acting like a "whitey"... an "Oreo"?

What are the rules...Is Dr. Carson off limits because of his race? Can he not be incorrect in his thinking because he is intelligent and well spoken and black?

As traditional as racial epithets can be... An "oreo" was used to refer to a black person who consdidered himself non-black; that distanced himself form his race.

No one would consider Dr. Bill Cosby, Dr. Condolezza Rice, Dr. Ben Carson, or the Reverend Dr. Martin luther King Jr. ...All well spoken, educated black persons, as Oreos.

But you didn't explain why they had "blinded by the white"? Was it yet another attempt to put a black conservative down? Of course it was!
No. Watch the video. I don't know how many damn times I have to say this: The caption was present during the whole segment. Before Carson was even there the caption was there. If they were putting down Carson why the hell would they have an elephant? It's a reference to the whiteness of the GOP.

It doesn't matter how many times you point out the truth; most of the conservative posters on this forum are interested in anything but.

They will continue to repeat this particular, misguided, mantra in the face of all information to the contrary.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is just save your breath (or your keyboard).

Funny though how the left always accuses the right of being racist toward our half black president when most just merely object to his politics, isn't it? Replace Dr. Carson and put President Obama in your last sentence and you will get my drift. Pot, kettle, black!

Another myth. 99% of liberals don't use the race card just because you criticize his politics. You just want to believe the 1% represents the 99%.

Not a myth. It's the facts. You proved it right here by claiming that 99% of Republicans object to Obama because of his race. That's so far fetched that it is ridiculous. That's one of the biggest whoppers I have heard in here. You haven't a thing to back it up either. Typical far leftist who stereotypes the majority of the GOP wrongly.
