Alternative Facts: Ben Carson Calls African Slaves “Immigrants” In Speech

This Trump administration is so surreal. To imagine that Donald Trump, a serial tweeter, is our president is a nightmare enough. But, let’s not forget the other candidates in the 2016 Republican primary. They were all-time bad, ranging from the most unqualified idiots to the most obnoxious politicians who barely won their state elections. Ben Carson, a surefire unqualified idiot, was in that number of Republican Presidential Candidates. Before his foray into politics, Ben Carson had a nice legacy. He was a neurosurgeon that was the brainchild behind one of the most amazing medical feats in history, separating two conjoined twins. He was a go to lecturer at college campuses across the nation, had numerous best-selling books and even a movie based on his life. Why did he feel the need to go into politics?

Carson’s political career has been one huge blunder after another. First, he compared Obamacare to slavery. Then, during his campaign run, he said that he was held at gunpoint in a Popeye’s restaurant and that he  stabbed someone when he was a kid. Now, he’s referring to slavery again in his latest idiotic remark. He’s following the lead of fellow Trump Administration constituent and current Secretary of Education Betsy Devos in blatantly diminishing African-American history. According to Ben Carson in his address to HUD employees earlier today, the Africans captured and forcibly brought over to America to be slaves were “immigrants”. I’m not making this up. I couldn’t make this up if I tried. See the video for yourself below.

“There were other immigrants who came in the bottom of slave ships, who 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,”

At this point, I don’t even know what to say. This is what we’ve become as an American society. A man that has clearly lost his mind is supposed to be the person over “Urban Development”. Lord help us all.
