When actually there are many bright, courageous, and exciting black conservatives that need to get more media time and exposure.

I imagine many blacks are just as fed up with our broken dysfunctional government, and would benefit by seeing more open and controversial political debate within the black community - not just the same old, same old, Democrat line.
I am black. Black conservatives are not marginalized lol. MSM includes Fox news and they feature black conservatives. Also, black people do have traditionally black media outlets, primarily radio and those outlets feature black conservatives as well, including Ben Carson even Clarence Thomas and practically all of the main black conservatives you know about amongst other lesser known ones.

There are many bright black people in general. There are many black people in general who are fed up with government across all political lines.

You should step out of the MSM trap and get to know some black people and this is not meant to mean in regards to your comments, but all black people are not Democrats and are not liberals and don't follow everything that Al Sharpton says.

Thought this was a cool find. I recommend everyone watch it, regardless of political persuasion (its not about politics at all). The more and more I hear this man talk the more I admire him.

He's a pretty great human being.
It is too bad that you had never heard much of him before. He has been well known by black people for many years.

Funny how so many people have all the sudden "discovered" Dr. Carson.

Like I said, Carson is like their cryptonite. They have no ammo against him.
I strongly back the idea of the GOP nominating Carson, but probably for different reasons...

I'm white and I knew about him for a long time, my Church used to play some of his videos, not the political kind, just the videos like the one I linked to where its about medicine and trusting God. I just wasn't aware that he had political plans until recently.

Who cares if people just '' discovered '' him?. What's wrong with that? I do think its a shame that he doesn't get much attention in the mainstream media, aside from FOX that is. Its due to the liberal bias and there fear of him, they have no ammo to attack him with like other conservatives so instead they just try to ignore him and brush him under the rug.

Geez...I'm not half as successful as this Carson clown. I don't have an iota of his money and fame...yet I'm happy as a man can possibly be.

This guy has lived the American Dream, and yet he sees monsters around every corner.

Oh well...he's officially went off the deep end with this one. Good luck Dr Carson. SMH

Dr. Carson must worry a lot of Democrats. If he didn't he would not get this much attention.

Apparently, Ben Carson. It's too bad because he's really a good person, with an amazing story. Maybe he felt the government is crazy now because since he spoke out about the government, he's been audited by the IRS for the first time ever, probably received many threats, had to drop out of giving an invocation speech at Johns Hopkins University, where he was director of pediatric neurosurgery, because a group of students protested after he made comments about his feelings on same-sex marriage.

One thing Carson said that really struck me is that more people with science backgrounds should get into politics instead of lawyers because scientists are trained in finding solutions to problems whereas lawyers are trained to win at all costs. He's absolutely right about that.

Carson not getting enough attention in the liberal media = Democrats are afraid of him.

Carson getting too much attention in the liberal media = Democrats are afraid of him.

OK then.
