Ben Carson blasts Media on Race Issues
"I think American blacks, over the course of this next year, will begin to see that they've been manipulated very, very largely," Carson said in response. "People telling them what they're supposed to think and what they're supposed to say."

Nothing worse than being manipulated by the media into walking down the street, minding your own business then getting shot to death by the cops.Hate it when that happens.

It's terrible the media manipulates them into doing it, isn't it?So glad you agree.
eh... reading over the article i didn't see much substance there. he just sounds like another politician looking to secure the vote of a particular demographic... even though i do think the media is largely exploitative/manipulative of the black community in general. especially when they engage in these racial campaigns over every dead thug the media can drag up and incite people to the point of rioting... no doubt this is counter productive for the communities involved yet extremely lucrative for the media.

Mockery instead of a rebuttal? I'm shocked! 😉You know im right you silly goose.
Nah, you are just racist. Black people are no different from other races. If you want to make an argument about people generally being easily manipulated sure, but the way you phrase it is bullshit.

You mean Michael Brown? The guy who was walking in the middle of the street acint like a jackass, and when a cop told him to get out of the middle of the street he attacked the cop, tried to take his gun, and was subsequently shot.
Damn right.

Oh I can explain that. So Ben Carson "blasted" the media on race issues, therefore the posters replying to this thread talked about their stances of race issues in America....
Actually, you are lying. No one here is talking about the media manipulation of blacks. Its basically about Michael Brown.

That would be a lie, if it was what I said, albeit it's not. Although, technically long pig did talk about the media's manipulation of black people, even if he is wrong and racist.

I forgot who made you right about everything concerning race? Considering your countries relative past, I would be wary calling anyone a racist.

And yet, here I am, not being wary at all.
I don't need to be annointed as right about race to realise that someone saying the slave trade is proof that black people are inferior is a racist and possibly a troll or idiot.

Who are you to be giving lessons on anything concerning racism, considering your countries past, you are the last person we should be listening too on any subject involving racism or bigotry. Other then on the internet, anyone in person would laugh at you trying to teach them about racism in America after you told them where you are from.

Contrary to what you believe truth and information does not abide by nationality.
