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.
