Carson being a black conservative, who's been successful and accomplished more and done more good with his life than people like Obama is why they hate him. They don't want other blacks to know who he is, what he's done and accomplished. When they do talk about him, they do so in a manner to bash him and put him down for being a black conservative who dares to leave their box is supposed to stay in

State you position in a respectful manner. I agree. It's about skill...Gentle as a dove and shrewd as a serpent...as they say. Christians show mercy to everyone....grace to those that do not deserve it...The concepts of real Christianity were based in truth and logic. If you want to change the world you had better think before you speak...What is the use of offence? God does not judge and condemn - people do..It's about cause and effect---If I say this - then there might be a bad reaction down the road...You don't want that..You want positive outcome.

Seriously! Remember when some Notre Dame students protested Obama as speaker because he was pro-choice and they were a catholic school?

It happens, people.

Ignorant statement, Dr. Carson was already the speaker for this speech, now because the ignorant left did not like what he said, they do not want him to speak....

Now, who is the one crying...

Leftist mantra.....free speech, as long as I like it.....and that is exactly what is happening with Dr. Carson.

Did you ever go to college? There are always a handful or group of students that is going to protest the commencement speaker! How many times does this have to be repeated?

Talk about crybabies.

Oh, and this ~

Who chose him? The college or the 'group'?

Not inviting someone because you don't agree with their views is not equivalent and is not discrimination. Try again.
This happens quite a lot by the leftist indoctrinated newly useful idiots.

If you can't listen to both sides then you are truly indoctrinated and you just blew a wad on an education.

Dr. Carson Banned from a Commencement Speech? - By John Fund - The Corner - National Review Online
Guess he should have thought twice before appearing on FOX News every day, or every second day, that would turn anybody with half a brain off of him!

Isn't that exactly what happened at the 2013 CPAC meeting?

Where was Christie?

Can we see Dr. Carson's college transcripts? Do you suspect he was accepted into Medical school through Affirmative Action?
