Wow, according to ben carson slaves came here seeking a better life...
-
this is what is so dishonest and bogus about the op's takes:
guess who referred to slaves as immigrants well before Carson did:
feigned phoney "indignance" out of politically expedient stupidity.

Hey liberals angry at Ben Carson: OBAMA’S HUD Secretary said the EXACT SAME THING!

In what universe is this sentence.."It would be unprecedented in American history for us to create a permanent class of folks who are not citizens, outside of slavery,” the Democratic politician said Thursday on “NOW with Alex Wagner." The same as this sentence....""There were other immigrants who came in the bottom of slave ships" ????
Can someone help me out?

"San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro hinted during a MSNBC interview that the status of illegal residents unable to secure citizenship in the U.S. is comparable to slavery."
The dem is comparing illegal immigrants to slaves. Carson referred to slaves as immigrants. What part of the connection aren't you getting.

He's referring to how slaves also had to fight for the right to be citizens even after slavery ended. TBH i would take issue with that statement seeing as that immigrants come here willingly. It might sound like the same statement to you but it isn't OBF. Carson, probably through a profound lack of ineloquence, once again is glossing over how slaves came here. They weren't immigrants. Castro isn't saying they were, he's comparing the struggle for citizenship....which in my mind isn't right but at the same time it isn't the horrifying lack of tone that Carson is exhibiting. Like with most things, when liberals misspeak it's eye rolling but when republicans misspeak it's startling, eye opening and cringy worthy ineptitude...
"When you enter into a marriage, you enter into a contract for all sorts of different things with your spouse. Why should we take it to a Class 2 felony and put a husband away who’s been a good husband for however many years … based off of something that was OK in a marriage up until that point?”
-Arizona State Rep. Warde Nichols, equating spousal rape to consensual sex, March 2005.
“The facts show that people who are raped — who are truly raped — the juices don’t flow, the body functions don’t work and they don’t get pregnant.”
-North Carolina Rep. Henry Aldridge, making the Todd Akin “legitimate rape” claim over a decade earlier, April 1995.
“Rape is kinda like the weather. If it’s inevitable, just relax and enjoy it.”
-Texas Gubernatorial candidate Clayton Williams, March 1990
Those are legitimate irrefutable quotes made by republicans.

Here is Obama in 2015:
Certainly, it wasn’t easy for those of African heritage who had not come here voluntarily and yet in their own way were immigrants themselves. There was discrimination and hardship and poverty. But, like you, they no doubt found inspiration in all those who had come before them. And they were able to muster faith that, here in America, they might build a better life and give their children something more.
Here is Carson:
That’s what America is about, a land of dreams and opportunity. There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less. But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters, might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land.

And at the end of the day they're probably still better off for having come here.

You cant write fgts like this. God what a national cocksucking embarrassment. https://www.google.com/amp/www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/03/06/carson-equates-slaves-to-immigrants-social-media-blasts-comment.amp.html
Even the fox article u can tell is like hey good job on that one ben. I wonder what the conservative narrative would be on a lineralbwho said those jews voluntarily got on those trains because they were looking to find their way to the promised land.

Cleve still at...snowflake loses his mind over some trivial shit a Republican said or did.
Were you also enraged when Kellyanne Conway had her feet on the couch in the Oval Office?
Anybody could see Carson did not mean "immigrants" in the literal sense you buffoon.
The only difference between the two quotes from Carson below is that the word immigrant has " " around it.
Get it ?

Never recalled Cleve ever getting his panties knotted up when that black hippo Sheila Jackson Lee said..."I stand here a freed slave"
What about that Cleve?

That's not the point. The point is these OT excuses for slavery don't fly in 2017...."oh but slaves were treated sooooo weelllll"..........

Especially since they were already slaves in the squalid shithole of Africa.

I'm glad he said this. Hopefully it helps hasten his downfall since he has no businuess being the housing secretary.
And may I say that your people know a thing or two about slavery.I'm glad he said this. Hopefully it helps hasten his downfall since he has no businuess being the housing secretary.
