conservatives seem to always want to tell black people who they should and shouldnt have as role models.

listen, we get you dont agree with liberal ideologies, but that in no way makes someone a bad role model.

please educate yourself...
Don't be a dupe. AA is about numbers. I've talked to many HR managers over the years. They damn well need to keep their 'diversity' in line or else they'll have a problem with EEOC. And Carson had/has the intellectual goods to achieve what he has achieved.

Posted on 4/1/2010 9:09:21 AM by laotzu

"I think one man is just as good as another so long as he's not a n*gger or a Chinaman. Uncle Will says that the Lord made a White man from dust, a n*gger from mud, then He threw up what was left and it came down a Chinaman. He does hate Chinese and Japs. So do I. It is race prejudice, I guess. But I am strongly of the opinion Negroes ought to be in Africa, Yellow men in Asia and White men in Europe and America."

-Harry Truman (1911) in a letter to his future wife Bess

"You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent." -Senator Joe Biden

Mahatma Gandhi "ran a gas station down in Saint Louis."

-Senator Hillary Clinton

Some junior high n*gger kicked Steve's ass while he was trying to help his brothers out; junior high or sophomore in high school. Whatever it was, Steve had the n*gger down. However it was, it was Steve's fault. He had the n*gger down, he let him up. The n*gger blindsided him."

When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture." -- Harry Belafonte

The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia .... It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state of the Union. Will you please inform me as to the possibilities of rebuilding the Klan in the Realm of W. Va .... I hope that you will find it convenient to answer my letter in regards to future possibilities."

Of course! Jackson, Sharpton, Farrakhan, Wright, all fantastic role models! Or rappers or the local gang bangers. Not Carson though. Right?

Seems the right has been saying that for weeks...Surely there must be some article some speech that liberals are calling Dr. Carson an Uncle Tom or a Token black.

Dr. Carson made a statement linking Homesexuality with pedophilia and polygamy. He has recanted and appolized for that statement.

Where is the persecution? Dr. Carson went on the Levin show to complain of the persecution he's recieveng...Then calls liberals racists.

Am I living in bizzaro world? A world where Dr. Carson can and does speak freely, yet others are told to mind their thoughts.

OK from here on Dr. Carson gets a pass. I will treat Dr. Carson with kid gloves...
Toure, from MSNBC, called him a token black.

There you go.

“They need to shut me up, they need to delegitimize me,” Carson told the radio host while explaining why he believes the media has scorned him for lumping homosexuality in with unsavory sexual acts like bestiality and pedophilia.

I no longer think that. I think he's a self-hater, yes, but his palms are fully greased. Repukes do pay well those who do their bidding, and he's doing their bidding rather nicely!!! You go, Carson! Your palms are well-moisturized!
There you go - straight to "he's corrupt". No, liberals aren't attacking him at ALL. And we all know why THAT is, don't we.
