It's okay for liberals to be racists, as long as they keep up their false propaganda that the racists are on the right.

Just imagine if Fox News did this.

That statement is about as racist as it gets.

Nah, they just plaster that racially charged image with the words "Blinded by the white" on the TV screen

Yeah, good observation bro. It's not like we've already been through this.

Allow me to explain again though: the caption was there the whole segment, not just with Carson. That means they aren't saying Carson is blinded by the white. It's more or less a play on words about how the GOP lacks minorities. For like fifth time, if you guys want to call it racist that they care about how many whites are in the GOP, you have my permission to hog wild, I don't care.

Intelligence, has nothing to do with the color of one's skin.
MLK tried to tell us all that, before some Progressive took him out.

A Black Ron Paul..... LOL! Whoa!

The graphic is taken from a segment where they were discussing the following article titled: "A Very White Republican Leadership Plans Minority Outreach."

A Very White Republican Leadership Plans Minority Outreach

From the article:

There is not a single racial minority among the 20 most senior officials who run the Republican National Committee, National Republican Congressional Committee, and National Republican Senatorial Committee — the three wings of the GOP apparatus charged with promoting candidates and winning elections. And a range of former Republican staffers told BuzzFeed that this lack of diversity has paralyzed the party's ability to connect with minority communities.

Bottom line Carson wasn't the target of the graphic.
The graphic was inspired by the leadership of the GOP and their outreach missteps.

The Republican Party itself, or at least its leadership, is claiming that the party has a diversity problem.
