(25,023 posts)if you think I have shit in common with Ben Carson.
Now, if you believe that what Ben Carson is talking about is the need for opportunity rather than embracing some economic dystopia for working class people (which happens to contain virtually all people of color) supposedly to bring about some "national dialog on race" which then will lead to something magical or another happening and then we can then all move forward together and in short order will restore prosperity to the many.
Meanwhile though we will further strengthen oppressive systems while empowering and enriching the people behind the racist institutions that have been greedily prospering from oppression. BULLSHIT! It is pure nonsense and puts you in concert with the people with the heel of their boots on our faces.
Few piecing together 3 or 4 crappy jobs, navigating crappy bus lines, and raising a family are going to know what is happening much less be able to be active in political efforts or have influence in but the rare off chance.
If Ben Carson preaches that the needy and the destitute have no power and no voice (at this point virtually by law considering recent Supreme Court rulings) in America then I'll won't be ashamed to agree and will defy you to argue how it isn't all but an incontrovertible fact in this country at this time.
Don't want to care about economics? Whatever though I say it is an absurd proposition if you want to talk politics nor are such concerns magically isolated to whites, in fact they press on us harder in my opinion but to say Carson and I have similar policy positions is crazy talk.
I got a lot of posts on here, my positions are consistent and I'm pretty comfortable the universe that is made of Carson and my common beliefs is a tiny motherfucker largely consisting of the water is wet variety stuff.
