Great, thanks for being lazy and not watching the video, where you would clearly see that they aren't saying Carson is blinded by the white. My guess is you do not want to find that out though.

I don't even watch or like MSNBC either. I just call out BS when I see it.

Che was a socialist/leftie/communist.

Still don't see the connection?

You probably watch MSNBC and love it, likely don't see any connection with them pushing leftie ideals, so that figures.

That's actually pretty clever!!
Carson is a typical oreo that the Repub party seems to attract. Probably married to a white woman too.

Ok Please do tell me what does blinded by the white mean?

When Obama was first elected I expected that many would look to him as an example and Obama would use that power to encourage people and "really" do things that would help people but it didn't turn out that way.

As for Dr Carson, I was thinking. Here is a man who grew up in poverty and managed to become a pediatric surgeon. If government really wants to help people get out of poverty I would think that they would want to show this man as an example that success can be achieved but instead they lambast him. Why is that?

I didn't see the segment, but from the looks of it one could assume it was a subtle attempt to say Dr. Carson, a renown brain surgeon who has successfully separated conjoined twins who otherwise would have died, can't think for himself.

The video is a few pages back, I suggest you watch it. The caption is shown throughout the segment, well before Dr. Carson arrives. Carson is only part of the segment.

It's a play on the fact that there is a lack of diversity in the GOP. Simple as that. Has nothing to do with Dr. Carson.

If you want to argue that it's racist for them to care how many minorities vs whites are in the Republican party, by all means go for it. But don't tell me MSNBC is saying Dr. Carson is blinded by the white, because that's a lie.

I see, so the GOP is literally disallowing minorities to become Republicans? It's because the GOP doesn't want diversity? It's not because of the socialistic policies of the Democrats that attract minorities? Or because the Democrats are promising Hispanics to thumb their noses at our immigration laws for them in spite of the negative impact on our nation? Something seems kind of backward here.

Don't ask me, man. I don't watch or like MSNBC. I'm just telling you that they aren't saying Carson is blinded by the white. That's all.
