Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Dr. Ben Carson on the race issue in the US

Yes America may control the most powerful military, just like the lion is the king of the forest.  But what kills the lion; little, little things (germs & poisons) that destroy it from inside and which it picks from its food or injury.  America should watch those policies and happenings (right to abortion, homosexuality, same sex marriages, bestiality, money, racism etc.) now being protected with Government authority and the concept of the so called Political Correctness (PC).  Do not destroy America.  It can still be saved to continue to serve as the bastion of democracy. As a free citizen of the world we are interested.

KZS, I thought you'll at least engage with the brother's response, his black experience mirrors those of many blacks:

I have stated in the past that Obamacare is the worst thing to occur in our country since slavery. Why did I make such a strong statement? Obviously, I recognize the horrors of slavery. My roots have been traced back to Africa, and I am aware of some horrendous deeds inflicted on my ancestors in this country.

The purpose of the statement was not to minimize the most evil institution in American history, but rather to draw attention to a profound shift of power from the people to the government.

I think this shift is beginning to wrench the nation from one centered on the rights of individual citizens to one that accepts the right of the government to control even the most essential parts of our lives. This strikes a serious blow to the concept of freedom that gave birth to this nation.

well, i guess not everything on the internet is to be trusted!
it's enough to have heard his other pronouncements, anyway.
politicians' talk is worth nothing, as far as i am concerned. this particular campaign is uglier than usual, mostly thanks to trump and to the extreme right-wingers who have gained so much play in recent years.

Hi Ken,

I am aware of the Kos quote. However, Daily Kos sources an alleged interview that Carson did with Mark Levin. I was unable to confirm any interview with Levin that includes the quote in question.

i googled it, and guess what?

In October, Dr. Ben Carson told conservative radio talk show host Mark Levin that: "Before Obama, people barely noticed skin color; that goes back 150 years. Blacks were happy and grateful for what we were given."

Vigorously opposed to Obamacare, calling it "the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery?" Check. Think America is "very much like Nazi Germany?" Check. Think Michael Brown may have caused his own murder? Check. If you need an opinion or a controversial remark from an African American conservative, Dr. Ben Carson has a quiver full. If you haven't yet heard of Dr. Ben Carson, that's probably because you're not watching the Fox News Channel often enough.
