"To have a future together doesn't require us to pretend that our pasts are the same." -Trevor Noah (The Daily Show) This is by far one of the best quotes I have ever heard in my life.

[@gorgeousg8704]

I agree.

[@jacquellamack2587]

Yes indeed

[@diegovenegas7692]

Yeah but theirs no need to use your past to make it seem like your a slave decades later. In fact over a hundred years later black people still love to talk about slavery as if they lived through it. Get over yourselves, their has been many races who have been made slaves long before you.

[@michaelpreston233]

[@NewhamMatt]

The sad thing is, if Carson had never been involved in politics, he would have been beloved by the nation. If he'd quit after dropping out of the presidential nomination, his career in politics would have been a long-ignored footnote to an otherwise stellar career saving lives. Now, he (along with most of Trump's staff) looks set to become a weekly punchline. I'm glad that Noah at least acknowledged that Carson's poor choice of words wasn't indicative of him being a complete idiot (like Trump) or a bigoted manoeuvrer (like Bannon), it just showed how ill-equipped for office he is.

[@rachelthompson-h2y]

You can tell its a very touchy topic for him, he spoke so passionately about it.

[@Wolffanghurricane]

we should take ben carson and force him to work on the opposite side of the planet where no one speaks english or practices christianity, force him to do 16-20 hours a day of manual labor, force him to learn the regions religion whether he wants to or not along with their language, and any time he even remotely acts out or slacks off he gets the shit kicked out of him, and he gets barely enough food to live on and a tiny shack to call home, and its no problem, why? because clearly he's there willingly and he's getting fed and housed for free and he loves it, if he says he doesn't? well then he doesn't know what he's talking about

[@greeneyes2095]

everyone is entitled to be stupid every now and then. but trump voters abused that privilege last November. sigh

[@NewhamMatt]

This is the problem - unlike folks like Bannon and Trump, Carson seems like a genuinely decent guy who wants to do some good. Certainly his reputation as a brain surgeon has been inspirational. Regardless, you can't just take an average Joe off the street, even one with a mind like Carson's, and simply expect him to understand the political intricacies of policy, rhetoric, needs of society v rights of the individual, budget issues and - in this case - appropriate language. I could imagine myself making this kind of stuff-up. Someone would correct me, I would apologise, and would be aware of it in the future - end of story. Carson has no such good fortune - he says something like this and will be crucified on the spot, especially as a member of Trump's cabinet.

[@Goraka91]

I can sort of get where he's coming from, he loves America and he's black so he wants to make that somehow compatible with his Republican worldview via use of 'The American Dream' but claiming African slaves were voluntary immigrants who went to seek a better life of their own volition is a bit much. Either he's bad with words or he performed brain surgery on himself. Certainly a lot of Republicans have to have brain damage to support the GOPs outright nefarious agendas given they are the ones who will lose out if/when they are implemented. Cutting education and polluting the water we drink while making healthcare unaffordable? Gee they seem like the party for working Joes, if you want to be a Prole. It's like the GOP read 1984 and thought ''Wow this is such a great idea!''

[@teacheschem]

NewhamMatt - Would you take a job in which you are expected to manage something completely beyond your experience and current abilities? Carson signed up for this, he had a choice. So while I agree you can't take an average Joe off the street and expect him to know these things- then an average Joe should not have the position he currently has. These are complex matters- not just grey matter. 😁

[@NewhamMatt]

I agree - Carson overestimated himself, as did Trump (although this is the same man that chose people like Jeff Sessions, Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway, so in that company Carson doesn't seem that bad). +Goraka91, Carson did call African Americans "immigrants", but not "voluntary immigrants" - the issue was that Carson believed that if you move from one country into the other, you are immigrating, regardless of purpose or willingness. I'd argue that Noah didn't really prove him wrong, but that wasn't the point - the point was that by calling them "immigrants", Carson effectively equated African American slaves with people who came by choice, and in doing so minimised their suffering.

[@cenlynn5415]

newham, carson could care less about poor people! carson doesn't even know he's black, that Affirmative Action got him where he is today or that his black ass didn't grow up in a neighborhood full of guns and drugs that his beloved republikkkcan party dumped there! carson can go straight to hell. and I hope that little girl he maimed sues him

I have a genuine question... Why is ANY random Joe allowed to run for high office, or be appointed to one? I mean, every other major profession demands qualifications and experience. New rule! you have to serve as a politician for at least 10 years before you can be put in CHARGE of some major shit ! Enough with the mumbling, inexperienced fools!!!!

[@matrixsekhmet8554]

[@joenelson2195]

duchesswannabe the problem has been career politicians, this comment section is extremely cringe-worthy. If you get your news from Comedy Central you are not very well informed.

[@lonestarlibrarian1853]

Joe Nelson If you discount information merely because it comes from a comedy channel you are just as stupid. And yes, you should fact check any suspicious numbers or quotes, obviously. But the real issue here is about career politicians: they suck. It's true. And yet they are better than amateurs who don't know the system and flail around wildly causing mayhem. They are the lesser of two evils.

[@freilezjawa8328]

duchesswannabe actually in China thats how they roll. In china first you have to govern a small city, then you go larger and larger if you are the best.

[@joenelson2195]

Joe Nelson "Family vacation" was ironic.

[@dovermaskot4441]

I guess he knows. He just wanted to blame the "left" for something. Here he intentionaly misunderstood ur comment and gave a useless reply. Its funny though, he blars about the "outrage" over semantics of the actual administration, but yet takes his time to go to the comment section and lament over your choice of words.

[@ryanfloch6054]

I can't fanthom how idiotic people are the people who give shit to Carson about this. His phrase is correct in every sense possible : Immigrants came to America, and people that come to another country to live there permanently are immigrants. Saying this is strong because it contrasts the American Dream with the reality of slave immigration. Which is why it sounded so strongly in Obama's mouth. Despicable show

I'm going just say this to anybody trying to "explain" how my ancestors got here and what they were or were not called back then and now. I've been black 65 years in this country and racism is still here and we are still thpught of as "non human" and that we should go back to where we come from. So funny! I'm from East Texas! Now as to folk talking about indentured servants, ok, well if they were believe me any land etc. That they thought they owned got taken/stolen back, plenty of history on this happening. Any black/ african taken from theur country and brought to America against their will.... Were Slaves! Period! None of them were FREE citizens. There is no debate on it, I grew up in the era with the signs that said " whites only bathroom" and " colored bathroom" white water fountain" colored water fountain" and going to the back of a building to get food cause black folk could not enter the front door of an establishment! Oh and white only laundromats! I just can't listen to folk who havent lived our lives call themselves educating a black person on being black in America!! Our Ancestors were " Slaves"! They did not decide to just flee their country to sail over here to be " Slaves"! Are you kidding me? Can you not get that? Oh and we are still experiencing the effects of slavery its just done in more subtle way now. For Ben Carson to say we were immigrants... No to the hell we were not.

As an English student, this reminds me of the dynamic differences in these words: die, killed, suicide, slaughter, manslaughter, execute, massacre and murder. They all seem to be talking about lifelessness or the act of taking life, but you don't use them in the same context. For example someone who is killed by an armed robber can't be said to have committed suicide. For the record, slaves aren't immigrants!

He is one of the best stories of rising out of poverty that we have.

[@tonyblaze9144]

I used to have huge respect for Carson but if he can tell the difference between a slave and an immigrant then I wonder what he knows about housing and development 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@a2falcone]

The difference between a slave and an inmigrant: a slave is a person who's someone's property, while an inmigrant is a person who comes from abroad. Therefore, a person who's someone's property and comes from abroad is both a slave and an inmigrant. Carson can't tell the difference between an involuntary inmigrant and a voluntary one, but he knows what an inmigrant and what a slave are.

[@c.b.5535]

Not immigrants, because slaves weren't considered to be people. In order to be an immigrant, you have to be a person.

[@joenelson2195]

Connie B. And they were people regardless of how they were viewed (property) so using today's context and applying it to then, means they were indeed immigrants. Back then they may not have used that term, but today we do not view these people as property because we know they were people. So what's the hooplah about again?
