Carson: GOP Has GOP ‘Neglected’ African-American Communities

Breitbart ^ | 09/13/2015 | Pam Key

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sunday on Fox News Channel’s “Media Buzz,” Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson said the Republican Party has in the past “neglected” African-American community but because of the recent chaos in race relation brought on by unrest in Ferguson, Baltimore and other cities the GOP ” has a very excellent opportunity,” to reach out and help “get business and industry and academia to invest in people.”

I have liked him for some time.

But squishiness on abortion and 2nd Amendment is off-putting.

Besides, when it’s his time, the media will destroy him because he doesn’t know how to counterpunch like the Trumpster and Cruz.

His popularity? White man’s guilt on the right? He’s not unlikeable but I don’t he’s as tough as Trump or Cruz.

I watched the segment.

Dr. Carson also said,

“I believe that black people like any other people in our country are listening. They are looking for solutions. and they’re not going to just blindly follow someone because they say ‘do I what tell you to do.’

I believe if we pay attention to them and we actually explain to them the mechanisms whereby we’re going to get business and industry and academia to invest in people, recognizing that for every person that we can keep from going down the wrong pathway, that’s one more productive member of society who may discover a new energy source or a cure for cancer.”

I take issue with Carson's assertion that "black people are not going to just blindly follow someone because they say ‘do I what tell you to do.’" because that's precisely what they've been doing ever since LBJ,

I hope they are listening and I think some truly are --- TRUMP has a healthy 25% black support, according to at least one poll.

I think Trump will get even more black support once they realize that they will be the beneficiaries of Trump's Immigration Policies.

In fact, my young, black workers (who are also my friends), already have TRUMP baseball caps that they're wearing everywhere!



I am going to order the new one!!!

Carson was not race baiting. He simply made the point that Republicans don’t campaign or make conservative arguments in urban America. He is right about that. Whether candidates should is another question. I happen to agree with him and Rand Paul that conservative candidates should bring their arguments to urban America.

You can oppose candidates without slandering which is what Breitbart us doing here. I criticised him for saying Americans will not do the hard work but I heard this interview and it was not what Breitbart is making it out to be at all

“Carson is polling frightening well in Iowa right now. Is it because they see him as devout?”

It’s the Santorum/Huckabee situation all over again. Iowans apparently like a certain holier than though approach. I don’t understand why they think this way.

For Heaven’s sake, Ben, please shut up.

help “get business and industry and academia to invest in people.”

After watching the welcoming committees in Ferguson and Baltimore, I think I'd pass on that investment opportunity.

Dr. Carson, the problems in the "community" are NOT the fault of a neglectful GOP.

The Republican party is NOT wanted anywhere near those communities, just ask the voters who live there. They voted for what they got, just as they have for the last how ever many decades now.

Change their hearts and their minds first and then you and they can change their lives, doc. That's the order of things.

I never had a good feeling about Carson.

Carson is polling frightening well in Iowa right now. Is it because they see him as devout? Will Iowans wake up and get a clue?

While guilt runs strong in Iowa, a state that's over 90% white. It's the same place that launched hussein. They see blacks as a novelty since they don't have to live with them on a daily basis (except for Waterloo and a handful of other third-world cesspools up there). In Iowa, they love diversity...because it's just a theory to them...not a reality.

You win! Can buy a townhouse in those neighborhoods for half the price of the South Shore, which is mostly Italian and Irish, with scattered Asians.

Growing number of Russian/Albanians too. Can’t say I love them and there are a number of gangsters among them. But as long as you’re not involved with them, you’re fine.

Black neighborhoods are AWFUL. I know from driving a cab and frequenting the neighborhood.

Don’t know why the hats aren’t showing! They did on my preview.

Please just click the links -— takes ya to the TRUMP HAT STORE!

That’s what it looks like—which isn’t helpful to the GOP as a first caucus/primary.

[re_nortex]

For Heaven’s sake, Ben, please shut up.

To the contrary, keep talking Benny and reveal your true color. He'd be best served as a member in the DemonKKKrat party since he shares so many of their core "values", notably racism.

[Sirius Lee]

"The Jew is using the republican as muscle against you."

[9YearLurker]

But that applies even more in NH—and they’re not falling for him.

[onyx]

Exactly so.

I also watched Dr. Carson’s segment.

[Gator113]

Well, that kinda looks like a race card play to me.

[jospehm20]

In case Ben has not noticed, the GOP has been neglecting every community except the CoC.

[ripnbang]

Somebody inGOPe for to him. He wasn’t saying these things a couple of weeks ago. First, Trumps faith, then amnesty lite, then the Gentle Giant comment and now this. All in a very short time period of time?

[Maris Crane]

Good advice.

[nclaurel]

More race baiting. He is moving in the tradition of Sharpton. Why is it so many blacks have been successful like he has? Through their own efforts like most successful whites. Just another “blame rich whitey” idea.
