[Satire] Carson, BLM Clash on Issues

GOP presidential hopeful Dr. Ben Carson and leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement clashed this week following Carson's assertion that BLM is "creating strife." As Carson sees it, "Blacks have been led down a dead-end road to dependency and murder via abortion by Democrat policies."

"The message that Democrats are sending by their support for the welfare state is that Blacks can't make it on their own efforts," Carson argued. "This is ridiculous. Blacks are as capable as whites if they apply their God-given talents to the world around them."

The candidate was even more critical of Democrats' unwavering support for taxpayer financed abortions, which he called "the leading cause of death in the Black community. More Black children are killed by abortion than by gang wars or cops."

BLM co-founder Alicia Garza rejected Carson's view. "The issue isn't whether Blacks are capable of making their own way, but whether they should have to," Garza said. "For centuries white plantation owners who were capable of supporting themselves depended on the labors of Black slaves. The government benefits Blacks are now receiving are a small down payment on the reparations owed for that debt."

"And Carson's characterization of abortion as the leading cause of death for Blacks completely misses the point," Garza continued. "All the Black babies terminated by abortion free Black women from the oppression of unwanted motherhood. These are women taking charge of their reproductive processes. These are women liberating themselves from burdens they choose not to bear. For Carson to compare these acts of self-liberation to cops shooting Blacks is shameful."

Garza warned Carson that "he shouldn't think himself immune to our wrath. We shut up O'Malley, we took away Sanders' microphone, we drove Bush from the stage. We will make Carson rue the day that he chose to challenge our message."

I hope BLLM (black liberal lives matter) protests Carson; his poll numbers will increase 10 points.

You’ve captured the insanity of this commie group perfectly. Thanks again for the ping.

Apparently, your satire is their truth to power.

"On the flip side, though, an American president has lots of leverage for extracting money from its taxpayers," Clinton said. "With both the FBI and the NSA under the president's control I'm sure I will have the information I need to persuade Congress to levy the necessary taxes. Or I could just issue an executive order or memo. One way or another, I'll get the job done. People who make the arduous and dangerous trek to come to this country shouldn't have to pay their own way."

Satire? Potentially, but a reasonable observer just might think it an accurate forecast of what could happen.

John, another fine/scary column.

Eventually one of John’s parody targets will steal John’s words and use them as his own.
