There's a percentage of Republicans who pine for a black Republican candidate to prove Republicans aren't racist. So they glom onto any black conservative and instantly elevate him to status of presidential candidate that they never would do for a white candidate with the same credentials; Watts, Keyes, Cain, now Carson. It's the conservative version of affirmative action.
Please see Post #47. Re: Your Post #15 - You are so full of shit!
Regardless of affirmative action, Obama has set back race relations in the US by more than 50 years, now advocating those who would support slavery (Muslims) than any policy promoted by God.
We almost need Carson in office to offset the public policy appearances to the black community recently promoted by Obama, so the next generation isn’t as racially bigoted as Obama.
