Carson: 'There were other immigrants who came in the bottom of slave ships, who worked even longer, even harder, for less' (CNN)
Mr. Ben Carson, please sit down and shut up. To so-called correct his stupidity during statements he made to HUD employees, here is a snippet that he had to say on his official Dr. Ben Carson and Candy Carson Facebook page:
"The slave narrative and immigrant narrative are two entirely different experiences. Slaves were ripped from their families and their homes and forced against their will after being sold into slavery by slave traders."
Whatever Uncle Ben...please...just go sit down. Yet if all else fails...at least your wife has got your back.
