  • 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.

    Why? Because Lebron is rich? Because some of em are good athletes it exonerates the practice of slavery because hey, some of em can be millionaires now?

  • 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 ?

    There were other immigrants who came in the bottom of slave ships, who 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,” Carson added.

    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.

    bigoted, who knew? wait, you stupidly missed the part about how OBAMAO SAID IT WELL BEFORE CARSON DID.

    But THEN that was fine by you. You are far more the most politically bigoted meathead on the board.

    Meanwhile, idiots like you are calling for Trump's impeachment over the latest news - Trump had Russian dressing on his

    salad......

    And may I say that your people know a hell of a lot more about it. And genocide. And imperialism. I could go on. Oh wait, let me not forget the smiley face, cause that always makes cheap shots better, as you've demonstrated on multiple occasions. πŸ™‚

    Come on bud you had to enjoy that cheap shot though right? The pyramids werent built with union labor.

    Anyhow my people would probably be the Irish or the Prussians.

    And at least one of my ancestors was an abolitionist.

  • It's always been an arguement that the lack of indentured servants were a big part in the start of slavery. Even more so the subject of slavery is touchy even when it comes from a black person.

    I'm part Polish believe it or not and I'm glad we took the train on into America.
  • Egyptians were a great society in ancient times, built on slaves backs of course. Now look at them.

  • But slaves didnt build the pyramids. Once again americans show off their profound ignorance and willingness to buy into whatever picture american culture decides to paint for them. In this case im sure wss had a flash of charlton heston playing moses.....and of course our resident stable boy diehard who comes from a long lineage of shit scoopers, he displays his genetic deficiency daily
