Ben Carson: token candidate

[LuckyTheDog]

By Christopher Parker

Ben Carson has now overtaken Donald Trump in the national polls as the GOP front-runner.

As a black man, I’m not at all sure how I should feel about this.

On the one hand, he represents a party that has dedicated itself to opposing President Obama at every turn, mostly because the president is black. This gives me pause.

On the other hand, here’s another black man, one who – if the polls continue to hold – is poised to become the standard bearer of another major American party.

This should give me hope. It doesn’t, because he’s not qualified for the position.

2. As a black man, you should be frightened...

Ben Carson is a wacko.

What he's token on is the problem because he probably wants to keep it illegal.
