What? Who is your idea of someone who understands people? Reverend "shout over what they're saying" Sharpton? Barack "poster child of narcissism" Obama? I've yet to see Carson behave anywhere near as condescending and ungracious as either of those two.
The plantation mentally continues. This is the prerogative for whites to tell blacks who they should listen to. Yes, Massa! NOT.

It has nothing to do with telling anyone who they should listen to. The question is actually "why do you listen to people who have shown no true desire to improve the lives of black people?" Black unemployment under Obama's presidency is at unprecedented highs. Al Sharpton has nothing to say other than "it's the white man's fault." Why not look to someone who at the very least puts ideas out there that may improve life for everyone, black people included, rather than continue to worship at the altar of failure?
it doesnt surprise me that ben carson got a warm welcome, he has good ideas and seems to treat people well. he also seems to be a straight shooter when it comes to his views on a lot of things.
Oh...so now you're not surprised?

White folks know NOTHING about black folks that doesn't involve the media.

ugh,
You clearly dont know what that word means since black unemployment has been much higher.
Also, the black unemployment rate has been dropping from its recession high for almost 4 years now.
And further more why exactly are you blaming Barack Obama for a recession that started under the previous administraion ????
You have posted the above fallacy before, and yet you never answer for it.

Only if you accept the "new math" that they now use to calculate the numbers. Then again, if you buy the government line then nothing anyone else says is going to matter.
I'll apologize for using "unprecedented". How about "near-historic"?
why would i be surprised? i like ben carson, and i think he would make a fine president.

really? most of the black folks i know are just regular people with the same types of hopes and dreams that white, or any other race, of people have. most want to live their lives unmolested, and most want to get along with their fellow man.
some want to be famous for something, some dont. some want to be the best in their chosen field, some dont. sounds just like white people to me, you all just have a better tan than we do.
Most black folk do not have any problem listening to different opinions and political views. Even though many conservatives love to "attempt" to tell us which black folk's opinions are good and which ones are not.
What, do you all think in lockstep?.... sounds like it by your statement.
that is exactly what I didn't say.
