Ben Carson just referred to slaves as 'immigrants'

Let's be clear. Technically Polish Jews sent to German concentration camps were immigrants.....right?

 

You aren't explaining yourself. You have to first establish his statement was meant to do diminish slavery or whatever else you have rolling around in your head you aren't telling us.

 

You do realize that American blacks are part white so should they move to Ireland, England, France, Germany, Spain, Scotland, Poland?

 

Do you cry for them like you do for slaves? Im surprised the holocost is a subject libs are aware of.

 

Would you refer to a holocaust survivor as an immigrant?

 

I'd imagine if they stayed once they were release they were.

 

Do you NOT cry for them?

 

Are refugees not migrants?

 

In America you have the right to be rude and insulting. And I also have the right to call you out for it

 

Did you answer my question?

 

If you are insulted and want to mouth off about it, you better explain it, rationally. Otherwise, people are going to call you on it.

 

Yes, holocaust survivors would be considered refugees and refugees are migrants.

 

Real rational.

 

They got free train rides and free tattoos too. It's all about perspective....right?

 

Always look on the bright side of life....da do ta do

 

This is what I take from you, want to discuss your offense, because it's emotional, not logical, so you use straw men to justify your feelings.

 

That was indeed one dumbed arsed post I agree with you!

 

No. I just prefer to view things in the correct context.....not what is technically correct.

 

That's so silly. The people who exist today exist because of events that happened in the past. If tens of millions of African slaves hadn't been shipped to the Western Hemisphere this conversation wouldn't be taking place because none of us would exist. It would be an entirely different world with different people. Carson would have never existed to have made his asinine statement. Trump would not be President. The country exists because the slavers like Washington & Jefferson wanted to keep their slaves and they fought the British to do it. So if you love America give thanks for slavery because it led to the creation of the country and to your own life.

 

Then listen to the whole speech. Stop focusing on a single word of the speech. Do slave ships make you think of a Carnival cruise?

 

Only if someone said....hey slaves also came on ships....this is not so bad.

 

I guess I can understand what you mean there. I think Carson was attempting to acknowledge, that not only did the slave come here, but that their descendants belong here.

 

Then he said that in the worst possible way

 

If you libs lose bowel control over slavery of 200+ years ago, then I can only imagine your horrific grief and guilt over 6,000,000 Jews being rounded up, used as medical Guinea pigs and exterminated 70 years ago. Yet I see none of that as most of you seem to favor the enemies of Israel. Unless you whine, moan, groan and demand special rules for Jews then you should **** over slavery.

 

Don't hold in your feelings. Tell us how you feel. Lol
