He didnā€™t say ā€œblack-on-black crime,ā€ so thatā€™s something.

Join the GOPā€¦please turn in your math skills at the door.

Well, do so after youā€™ve turned in any other critical thinking skills.

Oh waitā€¦never mind. I said ā€˜thinkingā€™ā€¦silly me.

ā€œIt brings up a very important issue and that is do those black lives matter. The number one cause of death for black people is abortion,ā€ Carson said.

Wow. Heā€™s like the Donald Trump of Uncle Toms.

I have yet to hear this man say one semi intelligent thing, NOT ONE.

and the ā€˜Like Mindedā€™ society* marches on.

*Though its part of the science fiction hall of fame, that story is considered to be speculative fiction.

I have yet to hear this man say one semi intelligent thing,

That is a feature and not a bug. For Republicans, whatever they say is truth and intelligent.

Even if it were true, so what. Itā€™s not like Republicans would even care anyway. Hell, most could give a fuck about the Black people that ARE born and living now.
I find the ā€œBlack people unemploymentā€, ā€œBlack people Planned Parenthood!ā€, ā€œBlack people being held back by welfare!ā€ arguments made by right wing to be disengenuous and phony. Come to me when youā€™re serious about equal rights. Wage inequality. Iā€™d like to hear your thoughts on restoring voting rights. When Black people arenā€™t automatically presumed to be the guilty one when police shoot them while they are unarmed. Or how about ways to improve chances those in poor neighborhoods to have better chance at getting into college. Until then, please stop trying to make it seem like you care because based on your track record itā€™s clear you donā€™t. It doesnā€™t work. And Black people know.

ā€œThat 30 percent of abortions occur among black women, whereas their population number is 13 percent, so itā€™s almost triple the number of abortions rate for African Americans as whites,ā€ Carson told Bolling.

What?! That is the dumbest math Iā€™ve ever heard. If 30% of abortions occur among black women then 70% occur among non-black women. Not to mention that the more important statistics would be to look at poverty and abortions not race.

The only real way to limit abortion in this country is to provide affordable access to contraception and medically accurate sex education. Ben Carson and his ilk are only succeeding in making safe, legal abortions less accessible.

OK, Uncle Tom - er, Ben - if that were even remotely true (which itā€™s is NOT), why did you engage in using fetal tissue for research purposes? Did it not occur to you that you were facilitating the genocide of your own people? Whatā€™s that you say? That was - ā€œdifferentā€???

Well in conservativeā€™s math, 30 really is 3 times more than 13 and not 2.3 times more. Math, like science, apparently has a liberal bias.

How does he expect this to fly with the Majority-Racist Tea-Baggers that vote in the Republican Primaries?
They are HAPPY there are ā€œless Black Peopleā€ to be scared to death of.

Maybe if they went to NWA clinics.

And yet, heā€™s in 3rd placeā€¦behind Ted Cruz and Donald Trumpā€¦I mean, you canā€™t make this shit up!

One of the major means to reduce abortion rates is through reduction of poverty and access to contraception. Unfortunately for Dr. Carson, the GOP has no plans to address that issue other than to call Black people lazy and kick them in the ribs. Making abortion illegal or harder to get just forces it into the shadows and then it really does kill more people than these idiots can count.

In the past, anyone with Carsonā€™s eyes would assumed to be ā€œhopped up on goof-balls.ā€

I donā€™t even have to google that statistic to know that THATā€™s bullshit. Dear Ben, the reason so many Planned Parenthood Clinics are in poor areas is because those women need services of all kinds. Birth control, screenings, etc. etc. And yes, abortions in some cases.

Please to fuck off and die now.

You guys donā€™t understand. Dr. ā€œUncleā€ Ben is just trying to get GOTPers to endorse abortion.

Itā€™s a clever quadruple-cross!
