I like Ben Carson. He's one of the very, very few politicians of either side of the fake two-party system that I do like.
This brothers name is Shermichael Singleton. He's a black republican.
And he not one of those mealy mouthed sellouts white republicans love.
As long as you remain stubborn and join the unique American culture fully, there will always be problems in your communities. Even if Progressive Socialist Communists take full control it won't end. If you like Snoop Dog and others as a role model over Ben Carson that is the problem. In our nation we need men and women to be the best at things. The best that is needed to compete in a world that lives on it. You spend so much time determining what people are thinking and passing judgement you let the prize go through your fingers with great costs to the taxpayers. So you will riot again at some point. I have my issues so I am not spouting as some overlord of power.
You posted ignorant gibberish. There are other blacks who have achieved. You whites don't get to tell us who we are to like. You like Carson because he kisses white ass. I don't need to spend time determining what people are thinking and passing judgement, your racism is transparent.
Shermichael Singleton is a Republican Strategist that has worked on three presidential election campaigns. He is currently the host of Vox Media's "Consider It" on Facebook Watch. Following the 2016 election, he was the youngest-ever Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) deputy chief of staff, supporting Secretary Ben Carson. He was fired from HUD after penning an op-ed critical of the president's characterization of black voters.
I went to work in the administration because newly confirmed HUD Secretary Ben Carson is a hero of mine. Like many young black men, I was inspired by Carson’s autobiography, “Gifted Hands”; I worked on his presidential campaign during the 2016 primary; when he left the race, I became his communications director; when he was nominated for a Cabinet position, I advised him during his confirmation process; and when I was offered the opportunity to serve on his staff at HUD, I jumped at the chance. I filled out a questionnaire as part of a routine background check — submitting information on my past work, writing, social media accounts, etc. I looked forward to working on Carson’s innovative agenda, but the op-ed, in which I urged conservatives to “stand up to Trump” for the sake of conservatism, was apparently a deal-breaker for the administration, and shortly thereafter I was let go.

Were my words sharp? Yes. Do I stand by them? Yes. Trump wasn’t my first choice in 2016 — there were other GOP candidates whose views better matched my own. But my intent wasn’t to run Trump down. It was to encourage conservatives to hold the Republican Party accountable beyond Election Day, no matter who won. And to send a message to Trump that there’s a better way to pitch a conservative agenda to a diverse America. That there’s nothing wrong with saying “Make America great again,” but what that motto means sounds different depending on who says it, and who is listening.
For example, in October in Gettysburg, Pa., Trump was right when he said that “we have failed our inner cities and in so doing have failed our African American and Hispanic communities.” But during his campaign, the crucial truth of those words was nearly always overshadowed by his frequent, attention-grabbing and many times off-putting query to minority voters: “What the hell do you have to lose?” One reason I wrote what I wrote is that I agree with many of Trump’s prescriptions for fixing what ails America — I just think he could use more helpful words to explain them.
I’m going to continue to fight for limited government, economic empowerment and traditional values, and I’m going to wish my former colleagues well. I hope this administration succeeds.
But I also hope that as time goes on, administration officials make room for people like me. And that they remember that no citizen, up to and including the president of the United States, is above reproach. When necessary, we should critique him and then follow that up by offering a candid assessment of the problems Americans face, and our own efforts at finding solutions. That’s what I believe I did in this situation, and that’s what I would do if I had to do it all over again.

Whites are not about whites only you ignorant azz. There are many ethnic backgrounds and other things with regional thinking involved in our nation. Just like you have different thinking on color variations of your own with those other things. Let it go. Let it go. Let it go. Join the unique American culture and show the nation what you got. I am not telling you what to like. Damn. I presume you have gotten screwed with or others you know have. Believe me, so have I. I have no concern for any who have and would not help any if I ever am empowered. I know many of you won't either. The world works on competition. Who makes the stuff. Who creates the stuff. Who invents the stuff. Who creates the jobs. And more. this is not a clown game.
What has your boy done for humanity?
No, he didn't.What has your boy done for humanity?
He switched on a floodlight in the nether regions of American society, and exposed a staggering number of ugly racists to the glaring light for all to see. Thus informed, society is better off knowing whatever there is to know about the disease.

GOP senator calls Omar's apology 'entirely appropriate'
Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said early Wednesday that Rep. Ilhan Omar's (D-Minn.) apology for comments that have been criticized as anti-Semitic was "entirely appropriate," even as President Trump and others have said she did not go far enough.
"I do accept Rep. Omar’s apology and I think it’s entirely appropriate," Lankford said on CNN's "New Day."
"She’s a brand-new, freshman representative," he continued. "Sometimes you get out there and you say things and then you try to correct it. For any of us that are on television, like right now, you get questions, you make responses or you put out a tweet trying to be funny or to try to press a point, and sometimes you go over the line."
mar apologized on Monday for comments the previous day suggesting that U.S. support for Israel is the result of money flowing from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, an influential lobbying group. In her apology, she said her “intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole.”
Her statement came after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other Democratic leaders had called on her to apologize for using "anti-Semitic tropes."
Republicans have seized on Omar's comments and called on Democratic leaders to remove her from her post on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, though House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) indicated that will not happen.
Some Republicans have continued to rail against Omar despite her apology. Trump on Tuesday called on the Minnesota Democrat to resigneither from Congress or from her committee post, and Vice President Pence called her apology "inadequate."
Shermichael Singleton, Ben Carson's campaign staffer in 2016. Well worth a read, I find:
A Republican asks: Aren't we morally obliged to stand up to Trump?
I was fired for criticizing Trump. Getting rid of people like me will only hurt his agenda.
He's right in more ways than I could care to count, but... For failing to realize that his firing wasn't just some lapse of judgment but yet another sign of the systematic placement of loyalty above all else, and competence in particular, and that the GOP isn't precluded from reaching out to folks of color by some accident of history, easily reversed, but because in so doing they would lose the racist base they carefully fed and nurtured for decades, I find him seriously lacking. It's probably the blind spots he needed to develop given his being conservative in the age of baby Bush, McConnell, Bannon, and Trump.
These blind spots, however, exact a serious price. There we have a man who wrote in scathing opposition to Trump before he won, opted not only to hope Trump would "succeed" (whatever that's supposed to mean given the man's devastating agenda), but even joined Trump's administration. And then he...
Calls For Virginia Gov. Northam To Resign After Racist Photo Emerges
Of course, a racist photo 34 years ago is disqualifying. Whereas vile, systematic, current-day racism is not. That's a pretty convoluted pretzel, and it's formed by a smart man who gets it mostly right - by necessity, because of the GOP's decision to make the American Birth Defect the core of their electioneering and policy-making. Most devastating: there's yet another Black person made not to see it.

No one loves "sellouts"! You consider these sellouts? Condi Rice, General(ret) Colin Powell, Paul Robeson, Justice Clarence Thomas???? Of course you do because you're a partisan hack full of garbage!!
