The story of Ben Carson who went from living in inner city the son of a single mom to become the head of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University was an inspiration. Black people of all ages pointed to Carson as an example of the possibilities available to Black youth.
Unfortunately, Carson has gone from icon to crackpot. Speaking at the National Prayer breakfast in 2013, instead of focusing on a spiritual message, Carson launched a political attack on Obamacare. At the Values Voters conference. Carson said that Obamacare was the worse thing to happen to the nation since slavery. Dr.Carsom went full bore Teabagger crazy.
Carson's legacy has been damaged. When he talks about controlling women's bodies and compares actions taken by Obama to the Nazis, he has lost his ever-loving mind. He now longer represents a point of pride. He has become as source of embarrassment. Carson has gone from being an icon to being Herman Cain.
Comments
Carson is a Seventh Day Adventist. I met some of his (former) friends on FB a while back, and they can't figure out what has happened to him.

I'm just wondering if "fallen rile model" is deliberate or a Freudian slip…
