I didn't know this until Trump appointee Ben Carson informed me an hour ago that slaves were simply hard working immigrants. Check out these brilliant words from Dr. Carson. All this time I thought slaves dreamt of freedom. I didn't know they were glad to be here and worked hard so their family can have happiness here.
"That's what America is about, a land of dreams and opportunity. There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less. But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters, might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land."
Wow. Brings tears to my eyes. Such moving words. Slaves were immigrants who believed in America so much they gave their blood, sweat, and tears. Ben Carson (a colored man, for those who don't know) is a genius.

The news gives me such a headache. It only took a month and a half and we are already past the point of no return. Lunacy is upon us every waking hour. Slaves - who weren't even considered to be human beings - are now called immigrants.

The film about Ben Carson is pretty good, with Cuba Gooding Jnr.
I have respect for what Carson did, digging himself out of the ghetto, but I have to call a spade a spade, there is no nice way of putting it, so I'm just gonna have to say it, he's an Uncle Tom, a big time Uncle Tom!

I have to call a spade a spade, Wow. You do realize that is the most racist thing any human being has ever uttered. Even our KKK guys would never use the phrase "call a spade a spade" when discussing a black gentleman. You are not an American, right? Are you aware what a spade is over here?

You'll have to enlighten me! Although I get the feeling you are about to make something up.

You've got to be kidding, right? You want us to believe that you are clueless about the phrase "call a spade a spade" when applied to a black gentleman? Well, I don't believe you. You are playing dumb so you can get reactions from others here. Homey don't play that.

That explains why the Underground Railroad was actually above ground; immigrants just moving in plain sight, not slaves trying to escape.

Y'all do realize that when the slaves were granted freedom at the end of the Civil War a large portion of them decided to stay with their original masters. eh?

Spade is a fairly well known slur against black people. It comes from "Black as the Ace of Spades".

Did you also know that most of them were illiterate? It isn't like their masters sent them to school to get an education. So with no money, no education, and being black in a cesspool of hate and discrimination, what would you expect one to do in those circumstances? Sign on for welfare? Apply for a job at Burger King?

I can't remember how much the current estimates are in today's money, but I think you are looking in the order of trillions of dollars. Pay up No_Socks!

I don't like to see black politicians labelled as "Uncle Toms", but after reading that I'm prepared to make an exception in Carson's case. What a dog turd.
