The other day Ben Carson likened slaves to immigrants.
After talking about how America is a “can-do society” and not a “what can you do for me society,” Carson then referred to slaves as immigrants.
“That’s what America is about,” Carson said. “A land of dreams and opportunity. There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less.”
The retired neurosurgeon went on to say that they had dreams to that their children and grandchildren may one day have the opportunity to “pursue prosperity.”
For that, he was (and continues to be) ridiculed.

At a press conference on Tuesday morning, Ben Carson, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, told reporters that people who are pushed out of windows are “extremely lucky” because they get “a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fly through the air.”
And then there was Samuel L. Jackson

The outrage is truly impressive. How many times have I said it?
You can’t spell liberal without the letters H Y P O C R I S Y.
You see, waaaay back in December of 2015, barack obama said this:
Certainly, it wasn’t easy for those of African heritage who had not come here voluntarily and yet in their own way were immigrants themselves. There was discrimination and hardship and poverty. But, like you, they no doubt found inspiration in all those who had come before them. And they were able to muster faith that, here in America, they might build a better life and give their children something more.
Carson said this:
That’s what America is about, a land of dreams and opportunity. There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less. But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters, might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land.
Where was this fury when obama said nearly the same thing?
Mothaf***a Please!
Now, the question is, why didn’t they get all hot and bothered when obama said it? I think there a couple of reasons. One, they are such obama sycophants that there’s nothing obama could say that would arouse outrage in imbeciles like Samuel L. Jackson and Whoopi Goldberg. Second, the members of the obama media (like over at Mediaite and HuffPoo) didn’t blast it all over their front pages because it was uttered by their “god of all things.” Carson is the idiot, obama is still god. It kind of proves everything Trump says about the media.
Mothaf***a Please!
UPDATE
barack obama compared slaves to immigrants 11 times
