World Shocking! Ben Carson Refers to Slaves as Immigrants

[abujagirl]

Ben Carson, US Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), on Monday referred to slaves brought to the United States against their will as “immigrants.”

Addressing Staff at HUD, Carson said, ''There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less,” said Carson, who is African-American.

“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,” he said.

Carson's remark sparked on Twitter. See some tweets:

People should cut Carson some slack. He might not be a good politician, but he's still one of the best neurosurgeons we have on Earth today.

I chose to focus on that fact, which is indisputable, despite what he said.

It is great for you if you can look at the world in such simple terms. Many of the people that have committed some of the world's worse atrocities were also the smartest!
