I respect the fact that what Carson seems to be trying to do is build bridges and close the divide.
However, as I said earlier, the more I hear him, the less I like him. Sure he seems to say all the right things, but he doesn't seem all that sincere to me. It's almost as if he's just trying to cover all the right talking points. I'm not sure that I believe that he believes all the things he's saying.
What I fear, is that Carson may turn out to be just a centrist Trojan Horse in disguise.
Ask Carson what the goals are. HE said it...not me. Same goals means just that...Same goals.
His experience should be a beacon of hope to all blacks?
LMAO...I swear man, you folks kill me with all the extra melodrama.
The guy is a surgeon and believe it or not, I've met a few surgeons in my life. Because you know...EVERY hospital has a few lying around.
If that was all he said, you would be right. The problem with your thread is that you still continue to avoid stating what he said right after it.
I can take anything out of context and spin it to sound like it says what I want it to mean, that doesn't make it the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. You have been given a link to what he said, it has been quoted from that link what he said. The more you deny the entirety of what he said, the more foolish you look on this thread.
When did you start speaking for white conservatives?
Well seeings how I was raised as a white conservative. And voted as a white conservative for quite a few years. And have spent most of my life in Red States SURROUNDED by white conservatives... I reckon I'm more than qualified to share my DEEP understanding of white conservatives.
They never would've elected Ben Carson anyhow. But as you can see by their reactions in this thread... they've found the excuse they were waiting for, and now they'll drop him like a hot brick.

The words he said afterwards don't negate in ANY WAY the words he said hitherto. That's a fact.
Why are y'all so mad about two brothers seeing eye to eye on things?
You're providing all the evidence I need to prove my point...you conservatives want blacks on different sides of the political divide to fight with each other so that you can keep pushing that old tired nonsense that liberal blacks hate conservative blacks.
You want the Carsons of the world to denigrate their own people at every opportunity. Nothing makes you happier.
Megan Kelly was basically BEGGING Carson to trash Sharpton and she (like you) were surely disappointed that he didn't take the bait.
That's why you conservatives on this thread are putting words in Carson's mouth that he declined to say himself.
You're too transparent playboy. But it's all good...I dig you anyway.
It5 becomes more and more obvious why you vote democrat, you don't understand what you read, or what you see, unless what your seeing is color.. That might be the only thing you do see...
Since this last president, and finding that almost 100 PERCENT of blacks voted for him for the simple fact that he had black skin I have vowed never in my life to ever vote for a person who is not like me, white Anglo-Saxon Protestant...(although admittedly I will vote for a person of Caucasian race period - Catholic, Irish, Italian, or whatever).
They made it crystal clear they are the most divisive bunch and I feel I have a duty to offset their side.
So in other words, Mr. Carson could have constructed a spaceship with his intelligence and I still would not vote for him.
This is what black conservatives are up against. No matter how conservative their beliefs are there is nothing that they can do to attract neo-confederates. In my opinion it's foolish to vote Republican if you are black. White supremact did not retire or go away in America. There's people still fighting the civil war after so many years...
