+Mikki Farmer Most certainly. There are various of people especially those of my culture (African American) that would dislike Ben Carson because, he makes sense, speaks truth and does not support B.S(worthless & type stuff) and is a person who most of all serves the Lord.

+Kobina Quaye Read One Nation - if you are a 'Minority" then he makes more sense than any Democrat that I have ever heard ..... For instance "minorities" have been voting Democrat since 1960's and they are still poor and worse off than ever.

Thanks for the commentary, Sandy. I think we agree on a high level. I do agree that voting strictly from a partisan perspective is a dangerous approach to politics, but I'm not sure it's right to claim voting democratic is ipso facto incorrect just because substantive change hasn't come about. We can't make the mistake of forgetting how shackled the President truly is when it comes to making change. Bipartisanship in Congress can very plausibly inhibit candidates who have great ideas. I won't vote for a candidate from a unitary perspective. I'm interested to see Carson's performance in tonight's debate. I want to endorse a candidate who has a similar world view as me, not a shared perspective on one issue (important as it may be).
+youngjays he has numerous reading centers for title 1 schools. has the Carson kids foundation with his wife. so he's answering the economic/educational problem personallu, and now politically. this dude is talks and walks the walk.
Ben Carson's message resonates to people on both sides of the aisle. Not a divider, but a uniter. Truly presidential. I would love to see a Carson/Cruz ticket or vice versa
+TheXxgecko I agree with you about Carson, but Cruz is a moron. You shouldn't want him as Vice President at all. Hell, I wouldn't even hire him to run a hot dog stand.
WindWipper Ted Cruz also said that he wasn't for revoking birthright citzenship years ago like Trump wants to do to resolve illegal immigration. Now after Trump dominates the GOP polls, he's suddenly lying through the skin of his teeth saying he's been saying the same thing for years, even though he hasn't. That just tells me he's nothing more than a political puppet that'll say whatever the hell he thinks will get your vote, so no. He would be a lousy candidate for Vice President or president. Hell, I wouldn't even want that man to run a mcdonalds.
+Steven Escareno "cruz is a moron". You might not like his politics, but is he a Harvard law school graduate. his liberal law professor called his one of the most lifted law minds he has ever met. He was a national debating champion, and has argued constitutional issues to the supreme court multiple times. Cruz is may things, unintelligent is not among them.
Carson could replace Al Sharpton during a Trump presidency. He speaks truthfully about the failure of black communities instead of pathetically blaming the police.
I know this is an old post, but this guy later exposed his true shucking and jiving apologist attitude in the public by characterizing African slaves in the holds of ships as 'immigrants'. I wonder who it was who educated him.
@@blooblak01 i dont agree with everything him and sharpton says, but what he's saying in this video is truth, if the truth comes from even the devil use it.
my aunt told me when she lived in Harlem in the early 60s all the lazy " blame whitey" people who sat on the brownstones doing nothing daily ridiculed her for being a " working girl" while they later on raised generations on welfare . she busted her ass cleaning houses and babysitting and landed a postal job that enabled her to buy a nice home in long island. she migrated from the Jim crow south and even though she lived through racism we will never encounter and the pre civil rights era she had the common sense to do for self while those who laughed at her for being a working girl always had their hands out on welfare never doing much but blaming the white man. so until we stop looking for that fictitious 40 acres and a mule and start doing for self we will always remain powerless under a country our ancestors built for free.
jamiirali1 respect to your Aunt. we are all slaves of the elite no matter what our colour creed or religion. they have got rid of the chains and use the media and lack of education to control us. they tell us what they want us to know and try to keep us fighting with each other. whether it be on foreign shores or our own. this is to keep us from noticing the real enemy. the one that is hidden in the shadows. the poor and downtrodden of the world should come together not fight each other. there are more of us than them. peace from whitey UK.
Mark Bradleyvery well said indeed! I recognize we are but minor players in a much bigger game that transcends race and is about finance but self defeating habits like waiting for things to just magically happen while pointing the finger is regressive...I'm not wealthy but what I have I worked for..what I don't have I'm working hard to get and I think every leader worldwide whether civil rights or faith based preached self determination. racism and slavery predates religion and will not disappear anytime soon ..but just as the asians and other foreign grpups felt the sting of discrimination they knew education..self reliance and unity were the keys out of poverty.if mainstream America wouldn't do business with them then they created their own. so even though we all can't be rich if we worked collectively we could all live well.
Michael LoVetere thank you sir..after hearing the stories of my elders and what they faced through the great depression and other challenges in the pre civil rights south I grew up not making excuses especially when I have 4 times more the opportunities they had.
Ethan Hobigant Roche since when does a person have to be horny to think someone’s good looking?? Were you licking the lead painted walls as a child? I think it’s you who’s sick....sick in the head.
This has never been more relevant then today and now. Ben has surprised me with his foresight. If only this would make the rounds right now to hold a light on the actual problem.
He is a GREAT role model. And the best thing is, he's not a politician. He speaks the truth and look how it's working for him in the polls. This man deserves to be president. He'll be a way better president than what we currently have. Carson 2016
Until parents take a more active role in parenting their children we will continue to have a societal decline in our country. No amount of gun laws, prison sentences, or government interference will be effective if our youth is not being parented properly.
I loved everything she read from his book.... absolutely right on target! 'We don't want the consolation prize of food stamps and section 8 housing, and a lifetime of endless government paperwork' 'We want to be able to work to provide our own, choose our own' Ben Carson knows of what he speaks.
Unfortunately, it's the leftists who want to slander him and discredit him, I know firsthand because i have family member who actually called him stupid, even though he separated tow conjoined twins, he's a life saver, when has Obama ever done anything close to that?
So if you take food stamps, public housing or any public assistance at a difficult point in your life you're a lazy person who won't do for yourself? Is that what counts as Republican outreach these days? When did working hard and using public assistance become mutually exclusive concepts? The American people of all racial backgrounds are working exceptionally hard with less and less to show for it. I think the inner cities are wondering when the trickle-down is coming, Mr. Carson. While you gut the safety net and you figure out those "mechanism" that are going to lift the inner city out of generational poverty, we'll still be waiting, but hungry and homeless to boot! "But, but.. some people abuse and defraud the system" True, but that is a small portion of the users of these programs. And I think you'll find abuse and fraud much more costly and rampant at the other end if the spectrum. Corporate welfare, no-bid contracts, highly profitable companies receiving tax refunds from the government; these all dwarf abuse of the welfare system. Not a word from Mr. Carson on that. When you're done telling the black community their mothers are deficient, maybe you'll run a credible campaign.
+Angie Montreal the rhetoric that it's "blacks" that are using the system is so naive. Yes, the system is being used incorrectly, but it's being used incorrectly by many races. The system needs reform, not abolishment, but the issue is even deeper than that. When you have people who work 40 hours a week and still can't make a living wage they shouldn't be on welfare, they should be paid more! When you let companies pay worker a non-livable wage you are giving the employer welfare. As for people without jobs, we are never going to have the capacity to support a 0% employment rate so there will always be jobless people on the system, even if you force them to look for a job. Solutions? 1) Get rid of horrible trade agreements that ship many of our manufacturing jobs over seas. We may not be able to come close to 0% unemployment, but it'd greatly help the cause if we could bring back the over 5 million manufacturing jobs that were lost since 2000. 2) Raise the minimum wage. The minimum wage should *at least* keep up with inflation (about $10.90). You could even make an argument that we should factor in productivity... By the way, before the argument is made, this won't result in people being fired. Companies don't currently hire people that they don't need just because the minimum wage is low. Also, "small businesses" that would be "hurt" by this actually tend to pay their employees more... 3) Stimulate new jobs. There are two *huge* areas of the economy that are not tapped. The first is the rebuilding of infrastructure (ignored because it's boring and people hate construction). This is a somewhat temporary stimulation because you are creating jobs that will last forever, but this is great stimulus for families with low education "stuck" in poverty. The second is green energy (obviously opposed by oil and gas)! Wind and solar... give tax breaks to people who buy solar panels... this creates long term, skilled positions for sales, maintenance and installation. 4) Raise our education levels so everyone really has a chance at the "American Dream" (a middle class lifestyle). I personally like Bernie Sanders's idea, provide public college education paid for by taxing Wall Street speculation. One final thought. I like the idea of making people prove that they are looking for a job to stay on welfare after a certain amount of time, but recent reforms in Arizona show that helping people to get back up and on the feet works better. They have a program that provides (pretty nice) housing for homeless people. They ended up paying a significant amount less to support this program, opposed to paying for ER visits and wasted public resources (like police calls). We've also seen in many states that drug testing welfare recipients is like throwing money away, you spend millions and save a few thousand...
+Hyperionsf That's not a stereotype though, conservatism at it's core is limited government and having the free market provide goods and services that government provides inefficiently. Would a conservative president and congress not gut spending and cut programs/services in the area of welfare and publican assistance and so on? They absolutely would, so own up to it, just how progressives own up to wanting a more socialized economy.
+route99 - Hello route99, ""But, but.. some people abuse and defraud the system" True, but that is a small portion of the users of these programs" Actually I think it is a growing portion of who is using the system. The people who have been on the system for so long and just keep bringing more people into the system, seem to be the only people who know how to benefit from the system. There are a great number of people not turning to the system and trying to make it on their own, and then there are the people who have grown up on the system and think it is a normal way of life to take from others. We are a growing nation of people with dependent mindsets, turning to the government to provide... the same problem that causes the islamic countries to be such a mire... people lacking ambition and creativity, because they have been taught to be like children expecting to be taken care of by their governments. This is a slave society... and it is what we are heading towards if we do not make a change while we still can.
OnGodspath However, there's a problem when someone can work 40 hours a week and still not make a living wage. When 56% of the money "given" out goes to people that are working, we have a problem. Sure, you can fix the problem with people living on welfare as a lifestyle, but you are targeting less than 44% of participants when you could be targeting 56% by raising wages. You also have to take into account that the 44% also includes people looking for jobs, elderly people (over 65), children, and people with disabilities that aren't able to work. Now don't get me wrong. I think we need some reform to help with those who choose to live on welfare, but I think we need to target the bigger problem first. This kind of thing comes back to the issue of what we think is happening and what is really happening. A lot of people, myself included, thought that people on welfare and using drugs was a big problem within the system. It turns out that every state that has issued drug tests to welfare recipients has had a colossal failure with the policy. We need the number to guide us, not speculation or anecdotal stories.
+Baker James Yabetcha! I used to get his book from the library for foster children...and when I didn't, especially the black young men, I would check out his Gifted Hands movie on the internet. These poor kids need to know there is another life, another future possible for them!
***** No question. Ben Carson is absolute living proof of Triumph, that you can do anything and be anything you want to be, earning success without any handouts and expecting something to be given to you.
Strength, knowledge and independence. That is true freedom! That is real life and Ben wants to share that message because he found it. People of any nationality would be wise to listen. God bless Mr. Carson.
It's been a long time since I've been this impressed with candidate. Here is a man who no one can tell him that he doesn't know what it's like to grow up in the "hood." He's been there and knows what it takes to get out. I know who I'm voting for.
My parents are from Europe and they came to America and didn't speak english.Well i was born and raised here in America and i finished high school and went to college.I have a good job and own my own home.I agree with Dr Carson that a good education is the secret to success in life.
I know this video is old but dang he woulda been a great president instead of Obama. He would have actually done something about the black poverty and the real issues causing crime.
I'm absolutely shocked that Ben has FINALLY said something wise. It is hard to believe, and maybe he was coached, but wow...this is a message that needs to be spread to all!
I am a democrat and Dr. Carson just knocked a lot of sense in to me. He will be getting my vote. Someone once told me that the more the Government gives you, the more they OWN you. If that's the case a lot of people will be living on their knees down the road.
+kinglou480971 i am democrat and i was thinking of voting for a republican but after doing tons of research i realized these guys were worst of the 2 evils, their logic is that if you give people food, they might actually want to eat more, and thats a problem, disregarding the fact most americans live paycheck by paycheck and even with welfare and ebt they barely feed their families. especially black families who are regarded as lower class people, they are less likely to get hired in a good position in a job
+BohemianGroveify And how is the welfare system working for you? Keep in mind it can't last forever , as the middle class start to shrink, but unlike the middle class and white america. The majority of the black community who are used to handouts will have nothing to fall back on, no education, no jobs, and no welfare.
The black community needs to emphasize on education and unity in the family. Look how many are growing up without a father in the house because of the corrupt welfare and child support system. These women are having multiple babies that they can't afford and absolutely no education. But this is the system that you are used to.. The system that you like. Are you going to blame the republicans when you realize that you can no longer depend on their system that treats black people like retarded children who can't do anything for themselves?
I love Dr. Ben Carson... He can agree with my explanation of insanity: "The repeat of the same negativity over and over again, and expecting different results." Stop acting like victims...that is a way of giving up. Trump / Carson 2016!!!
I actually wanted trump over all of them, but now I'm starting to believe in Dr.Carson more. He's a genuine guy, says what he means, and speaks the truth. A TRUE uniter. What Obama never was.
With what he's gone through in his life, i think it's great that he's the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, under the Trump Administration.
Dr Ben Carson is a credible member of the black community decent man with good ethics and he speaks the truth I just wish that more black African Americans can take his view and can listen to what this man says. I hope we can hear more from Dr Ben Carson about the negative effects that BLM is having on the Black community. BLM have demonstrated that their agenda to to divide America bringing more friction between the Black and White population.
About time some one said it the way it is. I see so many beautiful children out there whose families are trapped in the government handout mire. Such promise in each face, yet told by the system that they can't do anything for themselves. My heart breaks for them. Dr. Carson, even if you don't make it all the way, I sure hope your message gets heard by these children and their families.
3:44 you see an "I can't breathe" banner. This video was posted in 2015, long before the George Floyd incident. What's up with that? Was that a slogan already?
Eric Garner also died in a chokehold before in New York. Several black men have died in chokeholds, crying for breath. Richard Pryor used to joke about it, it is only now that we are getting it documented. It also happened in Australia to an aboriginal man named David Dungay Jr. He was brutalized over eating ( not stealing) a packet of biscuits. He cried out " I can't breathe over twenty times.
Verious Smith III joking in this one. But I don't have confidence that he can stop the dependency in the black community. The media won't just let them go. They will convince people that single parent black households will starve in the streets if ben carson is elected.
+Redblactivist dang you are right. My hope is that those in the black community would wise up and stop playing the victim. Anyway, i like the stuff you talk about on your channel and subscribed. I would love to get an interview with you for. my blog. i think we could at least make a few waves. if you are interested. email me at verious.smith@gmail.com
Finally someone level headed. I grew up in Mexico in third world conditions and now I’m only months away from graduating with a diploma of business. Everyone has setbacks in life, how you take care of them defines the person you are.
+johnkevin1104 I think that Dr. Carson has a great following and the media can't figure out how to attack him without being called "racist" which is a great turn-about right? I have read One Nation and the man has more common sense that the majority of those in congress.....I If you notice - Dr. Carson didn't get much support from the media, in fact he was barely mentioned, up until recently when he started showing up good in the poles. Now the media is stuck with their own political correctness which I find hysterically funny.
+johnkevin1104 Fox is vehemently Republican. So of course they bolster all the Republicans they interview as good candidates for president, but disparage all democrats.
Seriously? They are the ONLY VOICE left that is somewhat non-biased. They have many liberals and Democrats as commentators. Go see.... then try and dispute things from there.
Rakhil T. Very easy to discredit Hillary Clinton - there is a path of wrong doing, cover-ups and misdeeds following them. So if FOX is biased, tell me why you don't hear EQUALLY from the other candidates who are running for the Democratic nomination? I mean a nasty crook and a Communist.... that's really good for this country.
He makes good points however, Black Lives Matter with focus on police brutality is not oversimplifying or worse distracting the problem, rather it is narrowing down a piece of the problem in order to solve the issues one step at a time. In fact, expanding to all problems with the black community as a focus will make it difficult to get anything done and to get people on board with the same perceptions because of how vast and broad the issues are. In addition, there is a clear perception given by Mr. Carson, which is why he stated that other ethnocultural Black people will call him names (uncle tom/sellout), which is that the American system should not be challenged, rather Blacks and Whites should do more to help Black people better fit or assimilate. This disregards any open or hidden black ethnic and cultural ideologies, beliefs, values, and perceptions that are not welcomed, supported, or included within the institutions, training and workforces, and any other societal area of America. Who's to say that the directly White ethnocultural values and activities such as getting a traditional education through schools and libraries, getting a high paying career to live that "American Dream" is even what should be valued. Who's to say that Black or any other ethnicity, let alone identity other than the White heterosexual Christian male in-group, believes or should believe this aspiration is what makes a quality, successful life. How does people in power play a role of maintaining these beliefs and values and having others suffer to follow them. Now that is the "real" problem, since he wants to expand on Black issues. How can Black people form a more united identity in terms of perceptions and values to carry out in decision making and daily activities that we will be able to include into American society. Well until then...Black Lives Matter
+Robert Cummings BLM is great because it brings folks together but they shouldn't try to create an us vs them scenario. I think BLM is better off distancing themselves from Democrats and holding that leverage over them until they get something that is tangible. Hurt them at the polls until they realize Black communities are not absent ones. At least Trump is talking about bring back jobs to the inner cities which benefits those that welcome work and comparatively high wages. He's the only pro-black guy I've seen other than Carson. Carson hasn't spoke much to other means to overcome hardships as blacks. He was fortunate to have a caring mother but education isn't the key to get whatever you want. It is more like a way to open doors, however, you got to walk through them and many don't. Which speaks to your point of a traditional western values lifestyle that many Blacks don't want, I know I don't. I kind of like not living as some victorian clam that doesn't do anything but look down on people. Carson gets it right on the mentality to survive is predominant, I remember thinking when I turn 18 I was free. I could leave and got my ass a football scholarship and left. Came back and now run a major non-profit helping lower and middle income folks retrain, find jobs, get businesses and learn life skills. Very rewarding, but there isn't enough of it and working with politicians for many years, you learn they are only in it for a short time. Politicians are issue grabbers, they are petitioning monies for homeless today and then loaning monies to the poor the next. Never ending cycle of chasing money and not caring how it affects a community. So hopefully BLM gets uses their leverage, talk to people that haven't sold out Blacks already and take meaningful steps on uniting the black community and in turn the great American community. America is in this together.
Mucky Pup Wow! Thanks for the essay.In response, I agree, BLM should not be an us vs them. It is time for us to differentiate individual and organizational racism with perceptions and cultural prejudice. I honestly do not believe either party is the best option for BLM. I need to get up to speed on Trump's position with Black matters and other policies before I make any statements, but I'm sure I would not go as far as say that he is pro-Black...nowhere close. I am pursing traditional education while attending an HBCU where there are still major traces of western ideals. On that note, most businesses have Western perception foundations, making bringing jobs to the inner city not as problem solving without effective inclusion tactics. I have some problems with politics as a whole, supporting your statement on temporary support. Political issues represent but are highly insensitive to the realities of the actual issue, and don't get me started on the use, or rather, misuse of statistics! BLM needs to be very strategic in compiling literal proposals to give the government and other institutions for enactment in contract with powerful signatures to hold accountable. Even though I am not to keen with the distracting watering-down "All Lives Matter," it be wise to work with other social organizations to implement plans more effective that can gain more support. All BLM currently has is anger and hashtags, there needs to be actual initiatives to protest if denied.
Hey, I appreciate you putting so much time into sharing your thoughts. Honestly, though, this is really hard to read. After twice reading through the academic sentences and vague hypotheticals, I still wasn't sure what was going on in either of your posts. I'd suggest more straightforward words or more straightforward thoughts - either one. I know everyone is negative on RUclips, but I'm just trying to be helpful with some feedback. My questions are: Blacks as a group have different values than other races? Western ideals are challenged by black individuals in a manner unique to blacks?
+Jamie Den Adel Thanks! I do have that vagueness problem, but it is also difficult because it's such a broad topic. To answer your questions: races do not have values directly. When races are placed in societal and intercultural contexts, values play a part. So no, black people do not have different values from other races. However, Black people as an ethnicity and Black ethno-cultures do have values different from other ethnicities and ethno-cultures. Western ideals predominately stem from (heterosexual Christian men) White ethnocultural values, perceptions, and beliefs with minimal inclusion for other ethnic perceptions. When individuals have ethnic derived cultures/cultural aspects that are more closely similar to societal standard cultures (etiquette, management) the individuals have an advantage in society. Others have to shape or even eliminate their cultures to be "professional" or "compliant" causing a disadvantage in most all areas of society. Do to specific occurrences throughout history, Black American ethnic groups have a distinct reaction to Western ideals that other ethnicities will not (as they have different historical occurrences in relation to Western ideals). I hope that answers your questions.

@Dung Nguyen Dr Carson, would surprise us all, he would unite America, a very polite caring man, underneath nerves of steel. God bless America.
Absolutely! BEN CARSON IS AMAZING!!! He's so right they don't want us to wake up!
No Information No Information He Live His Life How He Want
This man inspires me to tears. I Would go to America instantaneously if this man get to be the president.
+Nebula did you hear his speech at the prayer breakfast with Obama? He said some really funny things. google it.
Obama's reactions though... Priceless... Dude great speech! Thanks a lot!
+Nebula Well you may not be coming here bc Hillary slaughter him in the general election
+Mbandi Music Hillery will be in jail first
well i guess you will never do that
I used to be a Democrat and this is what started my shift to being the Republican I am today
my aunt told me when she lived in Harlem in the early 60s all the lazy " blame whitey" people who sat on the brownstones doing nothing daily ridiculed her for being a " working girl" while they later on raised generations on welfare . she busted her ass cleaning houses and babysitting and landed a postal job that enabled her to buy a nice home in long island. she migrated from the Jim crow south and even though she lived through racism we will never encounter and the pre civil rights era she had the common sense to do for self while those who laughed at her for being a working girl always had their hands out on welfare never doing much but blaming the white man. so until we stop looking for that fictitious 40 acres and a mule and start doing for self we will always remain powerless under a country our ancestors built for free.
jamiirali1 respect to your Aunt.
we are all slaves of the elite no matter what our colour creed or religion.
they have got rid of the chains and use the media and lack of education to control us.
they tell us what they want us to know and try to keep us fighting with each other. whether it be on foreign shores or our own.
this is to keep us from noticing the real enemy.
the one that is hidden in the shadows.
the poor and downtrodden of the world should come together not fight each other. there are more of us than them.
peace from whitey UK.
jamiirali1;...God bless your aunt,...glad to see she set such a good example....
💣🔥💣🔥💣🔥
Mark Bradleyvery well said indeed! I recognize we are but minor players in a much bigger game that transcends race and is about finance but self defeating habits like waiting for things to just magically happen while pointing the finger is regressive...I'm not wealthy but what I have I worked for..what I don't have I'm working hard to get
and I think every leader worldwide whether civil rights or faith based preached self determination.
racism and slavery predates religion and will not disappear anytime soon ..but just as the asians and other foreign grpups felt the sting of discrimination they knew education..self reliance and unity were the keys out of poverty.if mainstream America wouldn't do business with them then they created their own.
so even though we all can't be rich if we worked collectively we could all live well.
Michael LoVetere thank you sir..after hearing the stories of my elders and what they faced through the great depression and other challenges in the pre civil rights south I grew up not making excuses especially when I have 4 times more the opportunities they had.
a man after God's own heart. wow really impressed and blown away by this seemingly honest and average american.
Ben Carson for President 2016
Let's try for 2024
Not only is this man very intelligent but he is VERY handsome!
Patti Weaver mmm very! 😉
Ethan Hobigant Roche since when does a person have to be horny to think someone’s good looking?? Were you licking the lead painted walls as a child? I think it’s you who’s sick....sick in the head.
This has never been more relevant then today and now. Ben has surprised me with his foresight. If only this would make the rounds right now to hold a light on the actual problem.
They won't do it, cause it doesn't go with the agenda they have.
An educated Man, is a free Man. I Like this.!
I really respect Ben Carson. He has dignity and intelligence. God bless him.
He is "right on". Listen to him.

I et you would vote for Biden and all the things he's being investigated for. It's all about politics
CARSON 2016!!!!!
🙌🙌
+Kevin G For president? Based on what little I have seen of him, that would likely be a good thing for America.
+Kevin G I hear he supports planned parenthood's experiments with aborted babies
+song4night no he doesn't
+song4night you should research more carefully before you comment.
Ben is awesome!
All of us Americans should concentrate on unifying!
Dr Ben Carson is a wise and articulate man!
This is more relevant than ever right now.
Thumbs up if you agree that Neslon Mandela would support what Ben Carson says?
I would vote for Ben again and again and again. I've always thought he is a under appreciated genius.
Lots of truth here. Wake up people!
Two facts I'd like to point out here. Ben Carson is a very wise man and Megyn Kelly is super fucking hot
+Josh Hempfleng Agree on both points! lol.
Carson "education is liberty" nice shout.
My face would come up looking like a glazed donut after being between her legs
@Valerie O'Brien Go away this is guy talk.
I hope he at least gets the VP nomination, he's such a great example/ role model
He is a GREAT role model. And the best thing is, he's not a politician. He speaks the truth and look how it's working for him in the polls. This man deserves to be president. He'll be a way better president than what we currently have. Carson 2016
U Corny
Very impressive and impactfull message Dr. Carson!
Until parents take a more active role in parenting their children we will continue to have a societal decline in our country. No amount of gun laws, prison sentences, or government interference will be effective if our youth is not being parented properly.
And blm openly wants to break down the nuclear family even more. They want to abolish it.
"An educated man, is a free man." Very profound.
I loved everything she read from his book.... absolutely right on target!
'We don't want the consolation prize of food stamps and section 8 housing, and a lifetime of endless government paperwork'
'We want to be able to work to provide our own, choose our own'
Ben Carson knows of what he speaks.
I live in New Zealand and follow your politics I am a woman of God. This man I would vote for if I was you
I wish Dr. Ben Carson was in the running
i'd vote for this guy long before i cast a vote for bernie, hilary, or trump.
I know but trump is better then hillary
Samuel Will agree but bernie is even better imo
@@fishylove1821 Bernie is a idiot
Trump2020
Kim jong un 2020
I don't agree with Carson on a lot of things, but I found his message concerning the black community and government very powerful.
+Vanessa Arroyo very. I am writing him in for president. he'd be the first "real" black president up to whom black men could look.
+Vanessa Arroyo "An educated man is a free man." That's now one of my most favorite quote I've ever heard.
Unfortunately, it's the leftists who want to slander him and discredit him, I know firsthand because i have family member who actually called him stupid, even though he separated tow conjoined twins, he's a life saver, when has Obama ever done anything close to that?
that's weird
Obama has commuted more prison sentences than the last 11 presidents combined.
Dr. Carson your're absolutely right...
So if you take food stamps, public housing or any public assistance at a difficult point in your life you're a lazy person who won't do for yourself? Is that what counts as Republican outreach these days?
When did working hard and using public assistance become mutually exclusive concepts? The American people of all racial backgrounds are working exceptionally hard with less and less to show for it. I think the inner cities are wondering when the trickle-down is coming, Mr. Carson. While you gut the safety net and you figure out those "mechanism" that are going to lift the inner city out of generational poverty, we'll still be waiting, but hungry and homeless to boot!
"But, but.. some people abuse and defraud the system" True, but that is a small portion of the users of these programs. And I think you'll find abuse and fraud much more costly and rampant at the other end if the spectrum.
Corporate welfare, no-bid contracts, highly profitable companies receiving tax refunds from the government; these all dwarf abuse of the welfare system. Not a word from Mr. Carson on that.
When you're done telling the black community their mothers are deficient, maybe you'll run a credible campaign.
+Angie Montreal the rhetoric that it's "blacks" that are using the system is so naive. Yes, the system is being used incorrectly, but it's being used incorrectly by many races. The system needs reform, not abolishment, but the issue is even deeper than that.
When you have people who work 40 hours a week and still can't make a living wage they shouldn't be on welfare, they should be paid more! When you let companies pay worker a non-livable wage you are giving the employer welfare.
As for people without jobs, we are never going to have the capacity to support a 0% employment rate so there will always be jobless people on the system, even if you force them to look for a job.
Solutions?
1) Get rid of horrible trade agreements that ship many of our manufacturing jobs over seas. We may not be able to come close to 0% unemployment, but it'd greatly help the cause if we could bring back the over 5 million manufacturing jobs that were lost since 2000.
2) Raise the minimum wage. The minimum wage should *at least* keep up with inflation (about $10.90). You could even make an argument that we should factor in productivity... By the way, before the argument is made, this won't result in people being fired. Companies don't currently hire people that they don't need just because the minimum wage is low. Also, "small businesses" that would be "hurt" by this actually tend to pay their employees more...
3) Stimulate new jobs. There are two *huge* areas of the economy that are not tapped. The first is the rebuilding of infrastructure (ignored because it's boring and people hate construction). This is a somewhat temporary stimulation because you are creating jobs that will last forever, but this is great stimulus for families with low education "stuck" in poverty. The second is green energy (obviously opposed by oil and gas)! Wind and solar... give tax breaks to people who buy solar panels... this creates long term, skilled positions for sales, maintenance and installation.
4) Raise our education levels so everyone really has a chance at the "American Dream" (a middle class lifestyle). I personally like Bernie Sanders's idea, provide public college education paid for by taxing Wall Street speculation.
One final thought. I like the idea of making people prove that they are looking for a job to stay on welfare after a certain amount of time, but recent reforms in Arizona show that helping people to get back up and on the feet works better. They have a program that provides (pretty nice) housing for homeless people. They ended up paying a significant amount less to support this program, opposed to paying for ER visits and wasted public resources (like police calls). We've also seen in many states that drug testing welfare recipients is like throwing money away, you spend millions and save a few thousand...
+Hyperionsf That's not a stereotype though, conservatism at it's core is limited government and having the free market provide goods and services that government provides inefficiently. Would a conservative president and congress not gut spending and cut programs/services in the area of welfare and publican assistance and so on? They absolutely would, so own up to it, just how progressives own up to wanting a more socialized economy.
+route99 - Hello route99,
""But, but.. some people abuse and defraud the system" True, but that is a small portion of the users of these programs"
Actually I think it is a growing portion of who is using the system. The people who have been on the system for so long and just keep bringing more people into the system, seem to be the only people who know how to benefit from the system.
There are a great number of people not turning to the system and trying to make it on their own,
and then there are the people who have grown up on the system and think it is a normal way of life to take from others.
We are a growing nation of people with dependent mindsets, turning to the government to provide...
the same problem that causes the islamic countries to be such a mire...
people lacking ambition and creativity, because they have been taught to be like children expecting to be taken care of by their governments. This is a slave society... and it is what we are heading towards if we do not make a change while we still can.
OnGodspath However, there's a problem when someone can work 40 hours a week and still not make a living wage. When 56% of the money "given" out goes to people that are working, we have a problem. Sure, you can fix the problem with people living on welfare as a lifestyle, but you are targeting less than 44% of participants when you could be targeting 56% by raising wages. You also have to take into account that the 44% also includes people looking for jobs, elderly people (over 65), children, and people with disabilities that aren't able to work.
Now don't get me wrong. I think we need some reform to help with those who choose to live on welfare, but I think we need to target the bigger problem first. This kind of thing comes back to the issue of what we think is happening and what is really happening. A lot of people, myself included, thought that people on welfare and using drugs was a big problem within the system. It turns out that every state that has issued drug tests to welfare recipients has had a colossal failure with the policy. We need the number to guide us, not speculation or anecdotal stories.
*****
- and there are those of us that never looked for public assistance but worked two jobs. Sometimes my husband worked 3.
Mr. Carson Sir! Your A Great Man!! Thank You And Thank You MAME !! Great Work !!✌️👍🙏🦅🇺🇸❤️
He should have been the real first black president.
bhumanecate so true
now that is a black man
A REAL GOOD MAN !
Well said Dr. Carson! My favorite thing about this man whether you agree with him or not, he is not afraid to tell the truth!
God Bless Doctor Ben Carson All lives Maters ,God Bless USA 🇺🇸
Everyone should watch his movie or read his book " Gifted hands"
+Baker James Yabetcha! I used to get his book from the library for foster children...and when I didn't, especially the black young men, I would check out his Gifted Hands movie on the internet. These poor kids need to know there is another life, another future possible for them!
+yippeze Most certainly, being stuck in the hood will is something people of my culture(African American) are in serious need of understanding that.
***** No question. Ben Carson is absolute living proof of Triumph, that you can do anything and be anything you want to be, earning success without any handouts and expecting something to be given to you.
***** God bless. Continue to be the living proof of hard work of preserverance.
+JJJ1234 information technology systems security
He should run again
WOW. Ben Carson just earned my vote. He hit it on the nose.
Lightskin Lightskin Lightskin Lightskin Lightskin Lightskin Lightskin Lightskin Lightskin Lightskin Lightskin Lightskin
Carson is killing it!!
Carla Linton. I don't Support Black Lives Matters But Support All Lives Matters.
I LOVE Dr Ben Carson. He tells the truth. I you don't like it.... you are wrong!
@Tech Noir That's pretty closed-minded thing to say.
Dr. Ben Carson, the like the "Mahatma Gandhi" of the United States of America. You can't help but love the man.
Gandhi was extremely racist towards black people
ben carson a real black man i salute you
Brilliant man.
Refreshing when someone talks common sense .
Thank you sir .
Thank you, Dr. Ben Carson! You are so right!
Strength, knowledge and independence. That is true freedom! That is real life and Ben wants to share that message because he found it. People of any nationality would be wise to listen. God bless Mr. Carson.
Who ever brings common sense and outlawing political correctness has my vote
It's been a long time since I've been this impressed with candidate. Here is a man who no one can tell him that he doesn't know what it's like to grow up in the "hood." He's been there and knows what it takes to get out. I know who I'm voting for.
Dr. Carson is refreshingly right. We need this man for America.
My parents are from Europe and they came to America and didn't speak english.Well i was born and raised here in America and i finished high school and went to college.I have a good job and own my own home.I agree with Dr Carson that a good education is the secret to success in life.
So well said.
Dr Carson would have been the best thing to happen to America
True he make a better president then Obama would have
Current Personality Issues Think Your InJY
I know this video is old but dang he woulda been a great president instead of Obama. He would have actually done something about the black poverty and the real issues causing crime.
"An educated man is a free man." BEN CARSON FOR PRESIDENT!!! AMAZING!
I'm absolutely shocked that Ben has FINALLY said something wise. It is hard to believe, and maybe he was coached, but wow...this is a message that needs to be spread to all!
DAMN!!! This is exactly what I want to hear.
I'm in love with a republican... Makes a whole lot of sense to me, he definitely has my vote.
I am a democrat and Dr. Carson just knocked a lot of sense in to me. He will be getting my vote. Someone once told me that the more the Government gives you, the more they OWN you. If that's the case a lot of people will be living on their knees down the road.
+kinglou480971 i am democrat and i was thinking of voting for a republican but after doing tons of research i realized these guys were worst of the 2 evils, their logic is that if you give people food, they might actually want to eat more, and thats a problem, disregarding the fact most americans live paycheck by paycheck and even with welfare and ebt they barely feed their families. especially black families who are regarded as lower class people, they are less likely to get hired in a good position in a job
+BohemianGroveify How is Carson bad at all?
+BohemianGroveify And how is the welfare system working for you? Keep in mind it can't last forever , as the middle class start to shrink, but unlike the middle class and white america. The majority of the black community who are used to handouts will have nothing to fall back on, no education, no jobs, and no welfare.
The black community needs to emphasize on education and unity in the family. Look how many are growing up without a father in the house because of the corrupt welfare and child support system. These women are having multiple babies that they can't afford and absolutely no education. But this is the system that you are used to.. The system that you like. Are you going to blame the republicans when you realize that you can no longer depend on their system that treats black people like retarded children who can't do anything for themselves?
Secretary Carson was my pick until he dropped out. It was then that I backed Trump.
This man is brilliant...I hope to hear more from him. We as a people need to come together for ALL!!!
Dr. Carson is a Wonderful, Wise Man. It would do people good to listen to him.
I swear, every speech he makes gives me more hope for the future of America. What a great man. Imagine what he could do as President....
I can't believe...I totally... agree...with Ben Carson...
What Secert
I am in total agreement with him on this one.
Thank you Ben Carson for not only bring so brilliant and wise, but for having the COURAGE to tell the truth !!!
I love Dr. Carson - he's so logical and honest. He should know about what happens in the inner cities. I hope that he gets to run for President.......
I love Dr. Ben Carson...
He can agree with my explanation of insanity:
"The repeat of the same negativity over and over again, and expecting different results."
Stop acting like victims...that is a way of giving up.
Trump / Carson 2016!!!
+Earl Lewis Amen
+Earl Lewis Looking at your photo I see why. you're just as lost as anyone else.
+Memphistiger I AM A MARINE, AND I AM NOT LOST! TRY ACTING NON-VIOLENT LIKE DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING IN FRONT OF THE POLICE, LIKE IN THE 1960s
I actually wanted trump over all of them, but now I'm starting to believe in Dr.Carson more. He's a genuine guy, says what he means, and speaks the truth. A TRUE uniter. What Obama never was.
With what he's gone through in his life, i think it's great that he's the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, under the Trump Administration.
Tell it straight there Dr! Yes! I love it!
Dr Ben Carson is a credible member of the black community decent man with good ethics and he speaks the truth I just wish that more black African Americans can take his view and can listen to what this man says. I hope we can hear more from Dr Ben Carson about the negative effects that BLM is having on the Black community. BLM have demonstrated that their agenda to to divide America bringing more friction between the Black and White population.
Very well put!!
She gave him such respect
I like this guy--hope he gets the nomination! He's got my vote//God bless him & the USA!
Go Ben!!
About time some one said it the way it is. I see so many beautiful children out there whose families are trapped in the government handout mire. Such promise in each face, yet told by the system that they can't do anything for themselves. My heart breaks for them. Dr. Carson, even if you don't make it all the way, I sure hope your message gets heard by these children and their families.
I would vote for Ben Carson
3:44 you see an "I can't breathe" banner. This video was posted in 2015, long before the George Floyd incident. What's up with that? Was that a slogan already?
Eric Garner also died in a chokehold before in New York.
Several black men have died in chokeholds, crying for breath. Richard Pryor used to joke about it, it is only now that we are getting it documented.
It also happened in Australia to an aboriginal man named David Dungay Jr. He was brutalized over eating ( not stealing) a packet of biscuits. He cried out " I can't breathe over twenty times.
Trump should of chose carson as his vp
@The Great SteveO Pike Mence
At last , an intellectual who has the same thoughts as me.
Amen! We need more Peggy Hubbards and Dr. Ben Carsons of this world. Same for the Sheriff David Clarkes.
I love the way Ben Carson sees issues clearly for what they are.
Dr. Ben would've just earned my vote! .. but I live in Canada so I guess I'll just go play some hockey eh
I like his points 😊
This government (grilled) cheese sandwich ain't gonna make it self Dr. Ben.
+Redblactivist Grilled cheese is good sh!t.
+Mucky Pup Agreed, grilled cheese is mighty tasty.
+Redblactivist I saw your Supernegros video and i think you are speaking some truth in it. I am a bit confused about your comment here.
Verious Smith III joking in this one. But I don't have confidence that he can stop the dependency in the black community. The media won't just let them go. They will convince people that single parent black households will starve in the streets if ben carson is elected.
+Redblactivist dang you are right. My hope is that those in the black community would wise up and stop playing the victim. Anyway, i like the stuff you talk about on your channel and subscribed. I would love to get an interview with you for. my blog. i think we could at least make a few waves. if you are interested. email me at verious.smith@gmail.com
Finally someone level headed. I grew up in Mexico in third world conditions and now I’m only months away from graduating with a diploma of business. Everyone has setbacks in life, how you take care of them defines the person you are.
God bless you Dr Carson. Ave Maria✝️✝️✝️🌹🌹🌹🔔🔔🔔
you know, i'm starting to get concerned... if the media is painting someone in a good picture, that tells you there's something going on
+johnkevin1104 Exactly. It's good to see people still being able to read between the lines.
+johnkevin1104 I think that Dr. Carson has a great following and the media can't figure out how to attack him without being called "racist" which is a great turn-about right?
I have read One Nation and the man has more common sense that the majority of those in congress.....I
If you notice - Dr. Carson didn't get much support from the media, in fact he was barely mentioned, up until recently when he started showing up good in the poles. Now the media is stuck with their own political correctness which I find hysterically funny.
+johnkevin1104 Fox is vehemently Republican. So of course they bolster all the Republicans they interview as good candidates for president, but disparage all democrats.
Seriously? They are the ONLY VOICE left that is somewhat non-biased. They have many liberals and Democrats as commentators. Go see.... then try and dispute things from there.
Rakhil T. Very easy to discredit Hillary Clinton - there is a path of wrong doing, cover-ups and misdeeds following them.
So if FOX is biased, tell me why you don't hear EQUALLY from the other candidates who are running for the Democratic nomination? I mean a nasty crook and a Communist.... that's really good for this country.
He makes good points however, Black Lives Matter with focus on police brutality is not oversimplifying or worse distracting the problem, rather it is narrowing down a piece of the problem in order to solve the issues one step at a time. In fact, expanding to all problems with the black community as a focus will make it difficult to get anything done and to get people on board with the same perceptions because of how vast and broad the issues are. In addition, there is a clear perception given by Mr. Carson, which is why he stated that other ethnocultural Black people will call him names (uncle tom/sellout), which is that the American system should not be challenged, rather Blacks and Whites should do more to help Black people better fit or assimilate. This disregards any open or hidden black ethnic and cultural ideologies, beliefs, values, and perceptions that are not welcomed, supported, or included within the institutions, training and workforces, and any other societal area of America. Who's to say that the directly White ethnocultural values and activities such as getting a traditional education through schools and libraries, getting a high paying career to live that "American Dream" is even what should be valued. Who's to say that Black or any other ethnicity, let alone identity other than the White heterosexual Christian male in-group, believes or should believe this aspiration is what makes a quality, successful life. How does people in power play a role of maintaining these beliefs and values and having others suffer to follow them. Now that is the "real" problem, since he wants to expand on Black issues. How can Black people form a more united identity in terms of perceptions and values to carry out in decision making and daily activities that we will be able to include into American society. Well until then...Black Lives Matter
+Robert Cummings BLM is great because it brings folks together but they shouldn't try to create an us vs them scenario. I think BLM is better off distancing themselves from Democrats and holding that leverage over them until they get something that is tangible. Hurt them at the polls until they realize Black communities are not absent ones.
At least Trump is talking about bring back jobs to the inner cities which benefits those that welcome work and comparatively high wages. He's the only pro-black guy I've seen other than Carson.
Carson hasn't spoke much to other means to overcome hardships as blacks. He was fortunate to have a caring mother but education isn't the key to get whatever you want. It is more like a way to open doors, however, you got to walk through them and many don't. Which speaks to your point of a traditional western values lifestyle that many Blacks don't want, I know I don't. I kind of like not living as some victorian clam that doesn't do anything but look down on people.
Carson gets it right on the mentality to survive is predominant, I remember thinking when I turn 18 I was free. I could leave and got my ass a football scholarship and left. Came back and now run a major non-profit helping lower and middle income folks retrain, find jobs, get businesses and learn life skills. Very rewarding, but there isn't enough of it and working with politicians for many years, you learn they are only in it for a short time.
Politicians are issue grabbers, they are petitioning monies for homeless today and then loaning monies to the poor the next. Never ending cycle of chasing money and not caring how it affects a community. So hopefully BLM gets uses their leverage, talk to people that haven't sold out Blacks already and take meaningful steps on uniting the black community and in turn the great American community. America is in this together.
Mucky Pup Wow! Thanks for the essay.In response, I agree, BLM should not be an us vs them. It is time for us to differentiate individual and organizational racism with perceptions and cultural prejudice. I honestly do not believe either party is the best option for BLM. I need to get up to speed on Trump's position with Black matters and other policies before I make any statements, but I'm sure I would not go as far as say that he is pro-Black...nowhere close. I am pursing traditional education while attending an HBCU where there are still major traces of western ideals. On that note, most businesses have Western perception foundations, making bringing jobs to the inner city not as problem solving without effective inclusion tactics. I have some problems with politics as a whole, supporting your statement on temporary support. Political issues represent but are highly insensitive to the realities of the actual issue, and don't get me started on the use, or rather, misuse of statistics! BLM needs to be very strategic in compiling literal proposals to give the government and other institutions for enactment in contract with powerful signatures to hold accountable. Even though I am not to keen with the distracting watering-down "All Lives Matter," it be wise to work with other social organizations to implement plans more effective that can gain more support. All BLM currently has is anger and hashtags, there needs to be actual initiatives to protest if denied.
Hey, I appreciate you putting so much time into sharing your thoughts. Honestly, though, this is really hard to read. After twice reading through the academic sentences and vague hypotheticals, I still wasn't sure what was going on in either of your posts. I'd suggest more straightforward words or more straightforward thoughts - either one. I know everyone is negative on RUclips, but I'm just trying to be helpful with some feedback.
My questions are: Blacks as a group have different values than other races? Western ideals are challenged by black individuals in a manner unique to blacks?
+Jamie Den Adel Thanks! I do have that vagueness problem, but it is also difficult because it's such a broad topic. To answer your questions: races do not have values directly. When races are placed in societal and intercultural contexts, values play a part. So no, black people do not have different values from other races. However, Black people as an ethnicity and Black ethno-cultures do have values different from other ethnicities and ethno-cultures. Western ideals predominately stem from (heterosexual Christian men) White ethnocultural values, perceptions, and beliefs with minimal inclusion for other ethnic perceptions. When individuals have ethnic derived cultures/cultural aspects that are more closely similar to societal standard cultures (etiquette, management) the individuals have an advantage in society. Others have to shape or even eliminate their cultures to be "professional" or "compliant" causing a disadvantage in most all areas of society. Do to specific occurrences throughout history, Black American ethnic groups have a distinct reaction to Western ideals that other ethnicities will not (as they have different historical occurrences in relation to Western ideals). I hope that answers your questions.
+Jamie Den Adel please tell me what black values are ???BECAUSE YOU SAID AS A GROUP PLEASE LET ME KNOW.IAM BLACK SO IAM PART OF THAT GROUP.
