I just finished watching Dr. Ben Carson on CSPAN's Washington Journal. One thing he said today was proper to be mentioned on Dr. Martin Luther King Day.
He said he was asked by an NPR reporter during an interview why he didn't talk about race more. He said his reply confused the reporter. He said it was because he's a neurosurgeon. That when he cut into someone's brain, he was working on what made them who they are. The color of your skin doesn't make you who you are. Your brain does.
He fielded many calls during his time on the show. Several people voiced their support for him to run in 2016. Many other callers berated him for his stance on self improvement and accountability. I was impressed by his thoughtful demeanor and measured responses.
Link for his segment:
Dr. Ben Carson, professor emeritus at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, talked about the state of U.S. race relations, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy, and the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act.
