Ben Carson Calls Slaves

“That’s what America is about, a land of dreams and opportunity,” Carson said, USA Today reports. “There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less.”

You can not make this stuff up!

He's playing fast and loose with that word for sure. I suppose on some abstract level they were immigrants, immigrants who were forced at gun point to "immigrate" here.

LOL, stupid thing for him to say for sure.

More proof that anyone can go from the bottom to renowned neurosurgeon.
It doesn't take intelligence...just hard work.

Please remember that when all the losers are complaining about their economic hardship.
Hard work is the key....not intelligence

Who cares. Emotional yapping is not part of the natural sciences. Dr. Ben Carson made medical history and in terms of applied sciences in medicine and the surgical field he'd run mental laps around both of us.

Go out and make history yourself before you try in envy to steal the thunder from an overachiever who is also ethnically Black-American. I don't care for Dr. Carson's religious affiliation but you don't see me trying to denegrate him because of that.
