I’ll be interested to hear his clarifications.

Your ears must be operating on overtime. Clarifications seem par for the course in this administration. More than once someone has had to clarify what Carson’s boss said too.

You have to when the opposition throws a hissy fit and organises protests over every little word…🤷

You’re saying a brain surgeon is uneducated? :confused:

Perhaps then he should stick to what he’s actually educated in, which may not be knowing the brutality and hardships of slavery- I mean ‘immigration’. :rolleyes: I’m sure many of these ‘immigrants’, of course, the ones that did not throw themselves overboard the slave ships due to being stuffed like sardines and made to lay in their own and other people’s feces and vomit, where definitely hopeful about the opportunities that awaited them and their children.

Let me get this straight----this comment is a sanctimonious lecture to a Black man living in America who raised by a single mother in Detroit, Michigan on the finer points of what the slaves went through?

Also, people don’t have a formal “education” in a subject to discuss it or know.

But they weren’t much better off than slaves during the period of their contract. As noted by Wikipedia:

I’ll have to keep that in mind when Black activists and their white liberal allies in the USA downplay the conditions of Irish indentured servants. 😃

Thanks for providing that information! 👍

Also, I’ll note that most people alive today have had an ancestor who was enslaved, as Boortz notes.

When I saw this last night I knew that there would be some on here defending Ben. You guys are hilarious sometimes.

I don’t judge based on skin color. Somebody says something stupid they deserve to be called out on it, laughed at, and derided. People that believe or defend the stupid thing that was said deserve laughter and derision.

What act? Carson calling slaves immigrants or me laughing at the stupidity of the statement and the defense of said stupid statement?

I can say that I’m not desperate at all; I’m not sure why I should be desperate.

When I heaed about, my first thought after my chuckle was, “Well at least he’s Black so he won’t get nearly as much heat on him as a white guy.” It was a stupid comment, but not much in light of everything else. (I’ll join Seth Meyers and say that after a month and more of Trump’s presidency, the part of me that be surprised is dead.)

The proper way to address “the boss” is President Trump. 🙂
 
If you read both quotes and think theyre the same, Im sorry but there’s no hope for you.
