Ben Carson lamented how race gets brought into so many police cases these days on Face the Nation this morning, when he was asked about his reaction to Sandra Bland‘s arrest and death in prison.
Right before Carson came on, Bernie Sanders told John Dickerson none of that would have happened if Bland was white. When Dickerson asked Carson for his reaction, Carson outright dismissed it.
He said that while looking at policing issues is important, “we have a tendency to inject race into everything any time there are people of different races involved in a conflict.”
Carson noted how there are of course “rotten police officers” but “we don’t condemn the whole class for that.”
To him, the bigger issue isn’t racism, it’s classism and how people suffering economically deal with things like moving violations that they can’t pay the fines for.

Racism and classism are not mutually exclusive

This black buffoon rides shotgun in the Republican clown car driven by Trump.
These comments are reflective of his desire to get a "bump" in the polls by disparaging everyone's favorite minority group to slander. -
Terrible presentation to a somewhat valid point
Where he's wrong is not acknowledging being black is an added burden
If you're black, you're on TIER 1 of possibility of police fuckery
If you're poor, white or black, you're on TIER 2.
If you white and middle class n up you not on any tier
So thats theclassism, but racism is #1
Another valid point, which cant really come from him, shouldn't be spoken of on air bc we don't have enough voices, and quite frankly is taboo to adress, is some people who dont know no better are lumping EVERYTHING into a BLM issue
That cat in Charlotte poppin off in a mall and got murked by cops and mfers wanna say its bc he black.

"Carson noted how there are of course “rotten police officers” but “we don’t condemn the whole class for that""
But don't they condemn the entire black race when one black person does something wrong? So in my eyes it's perfectly fine to condemn all cops for the actions of one. When they stop holding me responsible for a ? killing another ? in Chicago (where I'm nowhere near) then I'll stop lumping all cops in one group. -
Spoiler alert
Hes a boot-licking domesticated ?
