Related: About this forumBen Carson to Mark Levin: "White liberals don't want me to leave the plantation"
They need to shut me up, they need to delegitimize me, Carson told the radio host while explaining why he believes the media has scorned him for lumping homosexuality in with unsavory sexual acts like bestiality and pedophilia.
Levin added that the doctor has been attacked by white liberals because he is a black conservative, to which Carson replied: They are the most racist people there are. Because they put you in a little category, a little box. You have to think this way. How could you dare come off the plantation?

If you claim to be the party of personal responsibility, then take responsibility for your own words.

(599 posts)but he self-destructed before he even got a chance to run in the next repuke presidential candidate circus. Too bad, I'd like to see what other stupid things come out of his mouth in a debate with the next Mitt and Newt.

hoping that they WOULD vote for somebody like him or Herman Cain as the nominee in 2016, just so their belief that a black candidate automatically equals more black votes gets refuted.

(14,093 posts)nevermind the fact that he made a batshit crazy statement and invoked freaking NAMBLA.
I thought rightwingers were against this sort of victim mentality with minorities.

(9,350 posts)If they are Republicans they can always complain that they are victims. How many black Republicans have not played the victim card? You probably know this, but Carson is not the first black Republican or first Republican to make the plantation comment. It seems the plantation comment is a staple of black Republicans; at least recently. If anyone were to go back and review black Republicans over the years there would most likely be a large number of references to Democrats disliking they because they do not want to stay on the plantation.
