"He’s an ‘African’ American. He was, you know, raised white," Carson told Politico as he waited for the results of the South Carolina primary on Saturday. "I mean, like most Americans, I was proud that we broke the color barrier when he was elected, but he didn’t grow up like I grew up."

Carson said Obama's experience as a young man was simply different than his own.
"Many of his formative years were spent in Indonesia. So, for him to, you know, claim that, you know, he identifies with the experience of black Americans, I think, is a bit of a stretch," he said.
The world-renowned surgeon does not often bring up race on the campaign trail, and has called for Americans to "deemphasize race."
“Remember now, I’ve been around for 64 years, you know. I’ve had a chance to see what real racism is," he said.
Carson told Politico that he hasn't experienced racism from the Republican Party. Then, when asked to recount his last experience with "real racism," Carson said he just had to look to the left and progressives.
"I think the way that I'm treated by the left is racism. They assume because you're black, you have to think a certain way," he added.

I don't know who the left is, but I personally assume that Blacks running for any position of power would think intelligently and with compassion. Being a lap dog\distraction isn't a good look whether you are left, right or centered.

Self ether. Claims Obama didn't have the typical black American experience like he did, yet Obama still identifies with black people more than he does.
-
No one can dispute what he said though. Obama is half-white and always identify with his white side until he jumped into politics. 7 years in, what has he done for Black America? He's been here to LA over 30 times but NEVER goes south of Pico Blvd. He stops off and hangs with white celebs, but can't even do a speech tot he kids of South LA. The only time I hear race come out of his mouth is when people attack one of his positions.
You could have elected John Kerry and got the same 7 years you did from Obama. -
Classic case of stick to what you know
-
What is he talking about?
-
