The reason he apologized has nothing with racism. Or whites not letting him "leave the plantation". It had to do with the fact that he said something stupid.
I appreciate the loaded question, you do realize whenever it is advantageous people use race? Like the 'first black president' ? So yes, considering blacks typically associate and frequent black culture and people I think Ben Carson is a

Nah, he is just toeing-the-line because that is how politics work in 2013. If anything, I take him down a peg for backing off his statements and conforming to political PC pressure.

The bible says homosexuals and their acts are sinful and devious. If you are a Christian and do not distance yourself from homosexuality then you are not a true follower and devoid of principles when convenient.

Defending marriage is noble if that is your belief, and if you are Christian it is symbolic to the longstanding tradition correlated with it.

If people can be blown off their principles and beliefs by small sect of society that is now trendy since they have been exploited by the liberal/socialists for power then they are a lost cause.

Homosexuality, bestial, polygamy, pedophile is all the same. It is abnormal by definition, and stands juxtaposed to religious teachings.

Before you flame, I am agnostic and couldn't care less about homosexuals and the whole brigade of offshoot sexual fetishes. I would however stand with the religious part of society that marriage belongs to M/W but they shouldn't get any special treatment in the eyes of the government from anyone else.

M/W = marriage
M/M or W/W = civil union
M or W solo = single
M + animal = bestial
M/W/W = polygamy

Everyone should get their appropriate title and all should be taxed and pillaged by the government equally.

I was disappointed too but he actually was confirming his words explaining a little more clear. What he said was taken out of context, the liberal spin. What does anyone expect. The left has to shut him up at all costs.

He sure did grab that victim card fast, didn't he?

It strikes me that he seems a little too comfortable with the white guilt thing. I wonder if he's been manipulating that system all along. Of course, one does have to use whatever is in the toolbox to get ahead, but, it does seem like a cheap trick for someone of his professional accomplishments to pull out now.

Typical liberal hypocrisy.
And YOU would be screaming that every criticism is not a racist remark. Talk about hypocrisy

Ive been saying this for a long time.

If you are black, the left demands you be a liberal or shut up.

Democrats want to keep the blacks down so they can keep the vote for the exchange of welfare payments.

Republicans want blacks to have self worth and their dignity back and not need to be bought again.

Yet you somehow didn't include the ONE sexual sin Jesus actually spoke out against. Why is that?

Again, if republicans want black people to vote for them, they should stop insisting that black people are all voting for welfare payments.

Seems to be a odd claim for a man that has published...How many books? 3-4?
