A "Real" Black

[Tunnelcat]

I was wondering what it would take for conservatives to accept a black man as president after all the tea party freak outs that have transpired during Obama's tenure. Apparently, all it takes, is for that black man to be a proper Republican, according to Wolf Blitzer and Rupert Murdoch, with Ben Carson helping grease the skids. Murdoch thinks that a conservative black man will keep his place and not stir the race pot like Obama has supposedly been doing. Jeezus Almighty, this country has gone off the deep end!

I much prefer that no one be referred to as 'black' or even 'African American' until they've been properly vetted by old men from Australia.

Somehow I don't think Carson will "keep his place" as president. And so we once again see the attempts to destroy a good man. Ever wonder why the Dems have no one that has any honor or integrity running for president?

umm, how do you come up with the 'honor and integrity' line with a straight face? Bernie Sanders is as true and honorable as a man gets, as is Joe Biden. Jim Webb, as well. I will never say that of Clinton, and really just don't know either O'Malley or that guy from Harvard.

The sad fact is, that for in order for most Republicans to accept Carson, they have to support their delusion that he will "keep his place like a good black" as our president. That's about as racist as it comes. The only reason he's gotten this far in the process is because he's an outsider. I seriously don't think he will make it all the way to the nomination, because the fact he's black will still work against him, no matter how "white" he acts.

The Dems have Sanders and Webb by the way. Too bad that Hillary keeps getting all the attention and I think that's partly the media's fault and partly the party's fault. Hillary needs to just go away. She's arrogant, insular, out of touch and only panders to people just to get votes, kind of like Trump does for the tea party.
