If sharpton is scum so are most CEOs and most politicians. You can cut the crap with me, we know how politicians work they want votes and give a crap about the rest. That's both parties, you're just a number at the end of the day.

You know I'm not that foolish and dumb. Fact remains for every gangster you label to as a attempt to denounce democrats and blacks they're are blacks using those same democratic incentives to better themselves and get a education. I'm surrounded by black women with degrees at work and some black men, these are facts I don't need to argue with racist to know this.

Under republicans that number is smaller because they'll take away a lot of those perks. You also know this.

All this black bashing isn't changing anyone's mind, you're just quicker to getting arthritis if you keep it up.

i am not defending defending any of the quotes are racist. Im saying that all of the quotes listed are not racist ,and im attacking the premise of the quote i responded to, which claimed african Americans should not vote for Democrats based on those quotes.

I then asked if the person posing it believe that Republicans did not do the same.

lets step back for a second, Do you honeslty not understand what im saying, or are you just trolling ?

i mean, i make a lot of grammatical mistakes and some of my comments are a little hard to read, but im not saying anything that alludes to how you are responding to me.

I read the article. It had nice stuff like "fox driven populairty" and other stupid liberal diatribe that lead me to "hey Ben SHUT UP".


It is one thing to look at what someone says and take issue with it. It is another to simply disqualify someone out of hand.

Ben doesnt just get a criticism of his beliefs. he gets the "you need to shut up" stuff. Liberals cannot risk a Black man being successful and having conserviatives like him. They have to shut him up. they have to disqualify him.

This is what happens to nonwhiteman conservatives. they are brutally attacked because liberals cant have folks seeing a minority being loved and respected by conservatives. It blows their carefully crafted image.
That probably has something to do with you thinking that any criticism coming from the left must mean they are telling the right to shut up.

How can Ben be so dumb? Doesn't he know what has happened to every conservative black politician who made the "keep me on the plantation "statement. He just called all black Democrats ignorant slaves. How do Republicans expect him to recruit minorities now? Time to throw him in the dust bin with Herman Cain, Allen Keyes, Micheal Steele, and all the rest.

IMO... Ben Carson seems fairly full of self-entitlement.

Black conservatism seems so unappetizing - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Typical liberal hypocrisy.
Not I. I tend to look at substance of what the person is saying before looking at the color of their skin.

Which is why I consider anything someone says against gay marriage to be a crock of bull and ignorant whining.

I see Dr. Carson as an educated, conscientious person. He gives thought to what he says. I don't care what color he is. I happen to agree with a lot of his views.

Instead of taking a line or two of what he said, people should listen to the messages he gives. Isn't that what the left always says about Obama?

Dr. Carson simply makes sense when he speaks. He did not come from a priveleged background. He knows what it's like to work for what you want. I have a lot of respect for people that do this.

Comparing gay marriage to bestiality and pedophilia - really does not make sense. When Mr. Carson chooses to use inflammatory language - he really shouldn't be surprised that a lot of people will be instantly turned off. He really doesn't seem to make that connection at all.

I am guessing that his skills as a neurosurgeon are far greater than his skills as an orator or politician.

It really has nothing to do with the color of his skin and everything to do with his beliefs (which I do not share) and what he says.

Period.
