Ben Carson: #BlackLivesMatter misfire

[-relo- 105]

You stated that minorities never get blamed for anything. I find that a curious statement as it implies that people should be blamed for things off the back of their ethnic origin.

No I didn't. I replied to Teddy's tongue & cheek post with one of my own.

Please try to keep up.

Like his mother set him on the straight and narrow. But what if his mother was dead, on drugs, didn't care, was abusive or just wasn't around.

Cheers Ben, you totally know how that guy feels because you grew up a road over

The worst sort of advice is from people who want to project their experiences onto others.

that's why the crack house comment stood out to me. sure, go to the crack house. tear it down! another one will pop up just as fast. the drug war has been fought for years by "cutting off supply". doesn't work. addiction is a disease and must be treated as such.

no. that's the groups of people NOT being blamed.

no sir. nothing is ever any of the people you mentioned fault. ever

Tongue might have been in cheek but it certainly wasn't on the page.

Agreed. Do you suppose Carson has torn down a crack house?

As a comment it makes sense, but only to the people who don't live near crack houses

who is the disgruntled former member you're referring to?

maybe you should report them. the report button is located...never mind you know the location of that button.

Actually I didn't have anyone in particular in mind when I made the post. It was more of a guessing game and it was entirely possible the former member wasn't disgruntled. My mistake.
