[Magdalen] Related to "Yet Another Case of Race Abuse"

[Sibyl Smirl]

I'm coming more and more to the belief that Ben Carson is going to be my 
candidate.  He's not perfectly aligned with me on all issues, but as 
nearly as I can tell, he's closer than any other, and with quite a few 
of them I would rather see a yellow dog in the Oval Office!

Anyway, this story/statement just came over FaceBook, and it relates to 
what we were just discussing.  I'm putting it here in full with its URL 
source, because I don't particularly want to send people to the source: 
it's one of those clickbait sites with all kinds of popup advertising 
attached that freeze my computer about half the time.  I was lucky, this 
time it didn't, I just had to close a bunch of pop-ups in order to read 
the story.  But this specific site has frozen me before.  Unfortunately 
for me, they put up a lot of things attractive to Conservatives.

Ben Carson Just Spoke Out With A Bold Statement About Blacks That 
Democrats Will Hate

"We're called the United States of America not the divided states of 
America..."

On Tuesday, Presidential candidate Ben Carson made strong statements 
about the treatment of black Americans. The agenda of liberal 
politicians and the media is pervasive in the black community, and 
Carson says that American blacks will soon see the manipulation for what 
it is.

“I think American blacks, over the course of this next year, will begin 
to see that they’ve been manipulated very, very largely,” Carson told 
talk show host Mike Gallagher. “People telling them what they’re 
supposed to think and what they’re supposed to say.”

“More and more I’m finding (they) are thinking for themselves and 
recognizing what really works for them and for their communities,” he 
continued, saying his campaign is opening eyes and creating new 
attitudes. “I believe that is a dynamic that is in the process of changing.”

Carson said the media plays an inordinately powerful opinion-molding 
role among some groups. The media will “take advantage of 
low-information individuals and people who won’t investigate things for 
themselves.”

“I long for the day when the media begins to understand that the reason 
that they’re the only business protected by the Constitution is because 
it was intended that they were on the side of the people,” he said

Carson said manipulation by the media and politicians has taken the form 
of creating divisions among Americans.

“One of the major things that is threatening our nation right now is 
divisiveness on all levels: gender, race, income, age, religion, they’re 
driving wedges between the people,” he said in response to a question 
about the controversy over the Black Lives Matter campaign.

“As a wise man once said, ‘A house divided against itself cannot 
stand,'” Carson added.
