âIâm somewhat disappointed that more African Americans donât kind of think for themselves and [that they] just kind of go with whatever theyâre supposed to say and think,â he said. Carson charged that Obamaâs policies are negatively impacting unemployment and entrepreneurship in the black community. He also said that he has doubts as to whether African Americans would support a president with the same policies if he or she wasnât black. Rather than having roots in Obamaâs policy-making skills, Carson claims that the monumental support for the president among this cohort has historical roots. âItâs created by a long history of oppression and theyâre very proud [of Obama] and that pride trumps rational thinking,â he continued. âI totally understand it, but Iâm hoping at some point a more rational thought process will take over.â http://www.theblaze.com/stories/201...ast-speech-i-figured-he-would-just-be-fuming/
If they could only see Obama as half white instead of half black they might find a little common sense.
