(ThyBlackMan.com) Black Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson won’t be elected the first “real black President,” as news media giant Rupert Murdoch prophesied on Twitter October 7, 2015. For starters, Barack Obama has already filled that position. This may come as a surprise to some, but America really elected Barack Obama as our first real black president — not once, but twice. And the last time I looked, Obama is a real black man, just as he is a real American.
If Murdoch doesn’t think Obama is really black, I’d like to know Murdoch’s definition of a real white president? But I digress.
Further, Dr. Ben Carson will neither win the GOP 2016 nomination, nor get elected the second black president of America. The closest he’ll get to the White House — after having spoken at Obama’s White House prayer breakfast in 2013 — is as a guest, the next time he’s invited. Of this I’m certain. Why? Because of the dumb, insensitive, spoon-fed conservative rhetoric that’s coming out of his mouth since he became conservatives’ black political messiah
After the tragedy in Oregon, where nine people were killed by a mad gunman, Carson went on a Monday quarterbacking media tour, spouting some serious “jive.” When asked on Fox & Friends how he would have reacted in the situation, Dr. Ben Carson said:
“I’m glad you asked that question because not only would I not probably not cooperate with him, I would not just stand there and let him shoot me. I would say, ‘Hey guys, everybody attack him. He may shoot me, but he can’t get us all.’ ”
But, Carson’s own history came back to impeach him. Carson recalled when he had a gun pulled on him at a Popeye’s that he didn’t do anything of the kind. Instead Carson froze in fear.
Appearing on Sirius XM radio, Dr. Ben Carson explained:
“Guy comes in, put the gun in my ribs,” Carson recalled. “And I just said, ‘I believe that you want the guy behind the counter.’”
But there was an even more disturbing comment Carson made about the Oregon mass shooting. In a Facebook post, Carson said he would sacrifice a dead body in the name of the second amendment.
“I saw plenty of gun violence as a child. Both of my cousins were killed on the streets. As a Doctor, I spent many a night pulling bullets out of bodies. There is no doubt that this senseless violence is breathtaking – but I never saw a body with bullet holes that was more devastating than taking the right to arm ourselves away.”
My grandfather died from a bullet wound to the chest when armed thugs who robbed his dry cleaning business gunned him down. Losing my grandfather will always be more devastating to me than someone taking away my right to own a gun. But as a defender of the Second Amendment, Dr. Ben Carson should have focused his comments on responsible gun ownership, enforcement of existing gun laws, and the need for better coordination between mental health professionals and law enforcement.
This isn’t the first time Carson has said something dumb. In January, he spoke to an adoring crowd at the Republican National Committee’s winter meeting. Carson said Americans need to be more like ISIS “willing to die for what they believe in.” I guess that means Americans should behead Christians and journalists and burn our enemies alive in cages? That’s what ISIS does.
“Serious people seek serious solutions,” wrote Carson in the same Facebook post about the Oregon shooting.
Dr. Ben Carson should heed his own advice because the @RealBenCarson, as he refers to himself on Twitter, isn’t somebody I take seriously for president. My mother said he should stick to the chemistry lab. I agree and the operating room.
