He should know better. Carson seems as mentally unhinged as his boss. The pyramids were not grain storage bins. An immigrant is a person who comes to live in another country permanently. A slave is a person under the control of another person. Immigration suggests the person is using free will. Slavery involves force. Words matter.Ben Carson is not in control of his thought process or his words. </p> <p>Edit to add:</p> <p>He tried to clean this up by stating that you can be an "involuntary immigrant". Sadly, this passes as deep racial insight on the Right.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mediaite.com/online/ben-carson-follows-up-on-slavery-remarks-you-can-be-an-involuntary-immigrant/">http://www.mediaite.com/online/ben-carson-follows-up-on-slavery-remarks-...</a></p> <p>If you are in jail, you are not a prisoner, you are an "involuntary guest of the state" as one respondent to the linked article points out.</p> </div></div></div> Tue, 07 Mar 2017 17:02:15 +0000 rmrd0000 comment 235005 at http://dagblog.com
