Ben Carson: Liberals Don’t Like Me Because They’re ‘Racist’ (AUDIO)

Ben Carson: Liberals Don't Like Me Because They're 'Racist' (AUDIO) | TPM LiveWire

Honestly, how can anyone take this man seriously? Sure there are racists on the left. Certainly more than their fair share on the right as well.

When you make inane comments like this man has, and you put yourself out there as he has, expecting not to be criticized on one's position is rather short sighted. Playing the race card just looks shallow.

The guy may well be educated. But he certainly looks stupid.

Well, you know only Liberals play the race card...:lamo

So you'd be living proof, as somebody who is 'very liberal' that Carson is wrong and in fact is just another one of those right wing loons.

Black conservatives always remind me of either A) those few black freemen in the south who owned slaves, or B)those Jews who worked as laborers in the concentration camps, unloading the bodies in the hopes that they'd be the last ones killed.

More or less. You said Liberals are racist because they treat black Conservatives differently from black Liberals. You'd think a racist would treat everybody from a particular race equally bad.

I can't express how well you did at proving my point! Bravo!!!!!

C'mon, be a man and just say that black Conservatives are Uncle Toms and race traitors.

What about freedmen in the North that owned slaves?

By your logic, there's no way for Conservatives to be racists. Jus' sayin'!

Of course, Carleen must agree with all other Liberals.

Because Conservatives never look at people as groups....unless they're Liberal. Then you must agree with every other leftist.

Liberals are Collectivists. They can't help themselves. It's the logical outcome of their redistribution schemes. Your political ideology is based upon it. Proletariat VS Bourgeoisie. Black VS White. Look at the way liberals sell their snake oil. It's the same thing every time. Someone is to out get you, so Government must protect you from this enemy.

Obama doesn't govern. He campaigns, and he's always campaigning against the latest crisis or threat that only the Left and Government can protect you from. He was elected in the midst of a crisis and the Public has been batted around like a pinball from one crisis to the next ever since. Obamacare? Evil Insurance companies. Tax hikes and more Government spending? Evil greedy rich people. Gun Control? The NRA wants to kill children. Every liberal crisis needs a scapegoat. An enemy that the Left can whiteknight against and pretend to be saving the people from.

Blacks have been told for decades by the party that created the KKK and blocked the schools that the party who liberated them from racist Democrats are the real racists. When a black decides to think for himself and question this narrative. Out come the knives. The racial slurs. The smearing. The attempts to discredit. Humiliate. In the United States you are not allowed to be black and a Conservative.

Conservatives look at the content of people's character. Not the color of their skin. Not how much money they make. That's what Individualism is all about. You should try it sometime.

I dont know. Different schools of thought on that. Some people believe hating others is the worst thing you can do but others believe (and I agree) that the greatest sin is apathy. They hate conservatives because they hate conservatives And Carson is to them just another conservative that happens to be black)...Conservatives oppose liberal ideology...therefore...without thought, they hate them. But blacks? They dont hate them....they just dont give a **** about them. Worse...they celebrate the failings in the black community because it means more votes. You dont have to look beyond LBJs (the father of the 'civil rights' passage) own comments as to WHY they passed the civil rights bill to understand liberals and how they view the black community.

Yeah...he IS wrong. liberals dont like him because he is a black CONSERVATIVE. When it is black liberals or just people like Lewis Farrakhan (cuz...he isnt really a black 'liberal'), the preferred liberal response is to merely eat it and swallow. But with a black conservative they are free to use derogatory racial epithets, etc.

No...not liking Dr Carson doesnt make liberals racist. But the fact that liberals consistently ignore violent crime, death unemployment in the black community...all the while celebrating the blood orgy involving cute little pink children...THAT kinda does. Liberals dont like black people. Well...they like their votes. So...more accurately...liberals TRULY couldnt give a **** about black people beyond their token status.

Get off the emotional plantation and take responsibility for your plight as a black American.
 
I just wish they'd give the guy a break. They're forcing too much media exposure on him.

You ever hear it said "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything." I'm going to follow that advice here and not tell you what I think of this drivel-filled rant. Oops...

Ironic you saying that you judge on the content of character. You look at the persons lean and group them in with everybody else.

I can't believe I have to say this in two threads: Treating Conservatives differently from Liberals is not racism, it's partisanship. If you treat black and white Conservatives with the same disdain, that's not racism because "Conservative" is not a race.

I just don't know where the sudden right-wing erection for this guy comes from. He's a smart guy, very articulate and by all accounts a good doctor. Presidential material? No experience. Like Obama. But hey, make the same mistake twice because he's conservative!

I don't think he's a politician at all, but some on the right already have him running for president.

Which nobody can explain. He hasn't said anything white Conservatives haven't said.
 
From the article:

"And you're attacked also, in many respects, because of your race," Levin said. "Because you're not supposed to think like this and talk like this. A lot of white liberals just don't like it, do they?"

"Well, you know, they're the most racist people there are," Carson said. "Because, you know, they put you in a little category, a little box, you have to think this way. How could you dare come off the plantation?"

I agree with him. It is the same as liberals freaking out when Bill Cosby starts talking. Thinking society must take care of minorities because they do not exercise personal responsibility as a group does put minorities into the box called "Welfare Trap"

So when liberals freak out when Sarah Palin starts talking it's because they're sexist too?

How about when conservatives freak out when Obama starts talking? Is it because they're racist?

People who talk about the liberal "plantation" are racists. They're using a word that's deliberately racially charged because it'll get a rise out of people who think like that.

That said, I don't see anybody freaking out about the obvious bias in the question.

Marxism implies the prejudices against other races, socialism does not. Following the personal beliefs of Marx and Engels, socialism pre-dates those two individuals, and therefore is not synonymous.

Liberals have an inability--inate IMO--to accept the fact that black people can think for themselves and it pisses Libbos off when black people do so.

The thing I like to point though, is the Liberal hypocrisy: according to the Libbos, you're a racist if you oppose Obama's policies, but when Libbos oppose the ideas of a black Conservative, there's no way they can be racists. It's the typical Liberal stupidity.
 
Amazing this guy pulls the "race card" and conservatives go bonkers over the guy!

What?...LOL!!! Woodrow Wilson was a Leftist and he was racist as hell. So was Theodore Roosevelt. Wilson's father was a slave owner, in fact.

So, let's don't try to make Socialism into some sorta pure as the driven snow bull****. Socialists have the highest body count of any other political group/government in human history.

And when someone dares criticize The Messiah, the Libbos pull the race card out of every orafice.
