Is Ben Carson a Black Role Model ?

Ben Carson, regardless of race, is just another conservative, who after utilizing social infrastructure to achieve success, such as public education, public transportation, public health and welfare, educational grants and loans, or affirmative action, would destroy the very programs that aided his success.

He is no role model.
Your a socialist pig. None of those things that you mention equates to success, and they were all payed for by the successful.

Government is an abject failure compared to what Dr. Carson has achieved through personal sacrifice, and hard work. You tout these programs, but have nothing but contempt for success.

Affirmitive action is a big racist turd. Welfare, and education need giant reform.

You must be a racist.
 
Professionally, he makes an excellent role model

Politically he has demonstrated how a black man can make a buck by pandering to rightwing extremists.

Look everyone....we got a black man too....and he hates Obama

I have yet to see any solutions coming out of Carson

You have a very low oppinion of blacks.

Dr. Carson had plenty of bucks, before he espoused his political views. So I guess your calling him a race traitor, as the right is off limit to the black identity.

There are plenty of free thinking blacks that loathe Obama; they are not in your box.

Self reliance is the ultimate solution - you missed it.
 
he's an Uncle Tom wackadoddle according to the libs on this board

He had the NEVE to criticize OBAMBAM

you have to be a disgusting race baiter and hater like Al Shapton, the rev. Jess Jackson, Obama and his Rev. Wright for them to give any black person, respect and considered a role model

Only conservatives refer to Carson as ‘Uncle Tom.’

It is a pity that such a dichotomy exist. Some of the smarter liberals know that they cannot ignore Dr. Carson's success, but others ( hacks ) will continue to demonize anyone who doesn't agree with their sick ass statist believes. When you cannot give credit where credit is due, because of your ideology; you are incorrigible - unable to usefully contribute to a forum.

How could a people's with the likes of Jackson, Waters. Sharpton and Rangel could be impressed with the likes of Carson?
I'm sorry, your question is unclear to me. If you are stating that those " victims " that support that mentality of those mentioned are incapable of appreciating success by those who oppose their socialist views. I guess that bigotry supercedes the obvious; that liberalism is a diesease.

Dr. Carson's success should be championed by all - especially the black community to inspire.

Liberals demonize success, or give the government the credit while applauding illegals, giveing them priority over Americans - many who have put their life on the line for them :evil: They are either misguided, or evil.
 
Why? Why not? I should ask: why isn't he accepted, and promoted by black leaders ? The man came from humble beginings, and through perserverence, and application has gained national recognition - no doubt benefitting many of lives along the way! I think he is a great role model for all, and represents the best of America.

If that's how you view him, why can't he just be looked at as a "role model", and leave his race out of it?
We know that the great majority of blacks are liberal. I wanted to explore specifically: how they would here, handle another black man's great achievments being opposed to his political ideology. If they would outright ignore it, or if they would acknowledge it, and identify it with what I should have asked - national role model status. Why a race relation forum?

As we can see, success is hard to deny - especially the kind that is incrementally achieved through diligence over an entire career. That type should be applauded, and promoted irrespective of affiliation.

I agree. His professional credentials are impeccable and his contribution to the field of medicine is undeniable. Regardless of his race he is a success in his field.

... he is a success in his field, and should be promoted to our youth, particularly are black youth as someone they all should look up to as a role model - that Dr. Carson is not a victim, and neither are they! That you do the best you can with what you've got, and that you can meet your dreams with effort.

Unfortunately, he will be stigmatized as an enemy to the " black " cause, which will overshadow his success :mad:

It is often amusing reading the countless threads in this forum by those who endlessly speculate about and assume who the so called "black leaders and role models" are or should be.

The most significant and important people in any community are the millions of citizens who have realized that you are your own greatest leader or role model if you choose to be.

School teachers who realize that their work is more than a job and parents who raise their children to be good citizens and extraordinary mothers and fathers, are really the best role models out there, because they are the ones who show up everyday.

The truth is that it makes no sense for anyone to put all of their faith in a few public figures especially when they are "appointed" for you or assumed to be viable for you by someone who has no personal impact on your life or does not reside within your immediate circle of influence.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton do not "lead" anyone, and they are not thriving based on what is contributed to them by black citizens, however, they do get neverending exposure through the media and from a significant level of public paranoia because they have been successful at conditioning many like some who post in this forum to believe that every black citizen in America worships them and has them on speedial, or believe that they are just sitting around waiting for an opportunity to be dispatched into any city in America to march, boycott, or to just generally wreck havoc on the lives of white citizens by rallying or inciting "The Blacks".

Because of "race pimp" fear, Sharpton and Jackson have been transformed into the ubiquitous "Black Bogeymen" who want to steal or extort money from every innocent white citizen in America, for the least little personal affront to any black person in the country.

If the same media that publicizes their every movement and keeps the old memories of Tawana Brawley and "Hymietown" alive just ignored them, the mass hysteria and belief in the myth that they are heroes or role models to the black collective would disappear.

In the majority of the occasions that Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton are brought up in this forum, it is not because of any recent news or event that even involves them, it is usually someone making an ignorant comment that just illustrates how misinformed they are and how easily they are manipulated.

First, I should have said national role model - the man obviously is, and any argument to the contrary is untenable.

Your secound sentence/paragraph is unintelligible.

Your third asertion is correct, but it should be obvious that I am refering to a national figure - thus we are speaking about national role models.

To your 4th point/paragraph: the idea of a role model is to emulate them with the hope of also gaining like success which is not by appointment, but by due diligence

Continuing: Jackson, Sharpton, etc. wreak more havic on black America than white. They still influence huge masses of blacks in a negative way; affront with the victim message - see Zimmerman. They extort the blacks by stealing their ability to dream!

It is the liberal media who covers the race bating to keep the steady diet of bane flowing - the media that the majority of blacks support - it is their ignorance, and stupidity.

1. Actually the majority of what i posted was not directed at you. To your point, Carson is absolutely a model or success in his chosen field.

2. What is so "unintelligible" about "true role models" being parents and teachers who show up and are seen everyday?

3. I was not actually directing my comment towards you in my third statement.

4. Again, my 4th point was not directed at you. There was an ignorant individual who stated in your thread something to the effect: "why do blacks need Carson when they have Sharpton and Jackson?", which IMO was a stupid but typical statement for that person.


As far as Jackson and Sharpton wreaking havoc on the black population, I can only state what I know. Sharpton these days spends the majority of his time on his televised talk show, and in addition spends 3 hours daily on SiriusXM.

If you have satellite radio, I would advise you to listen occasionally to his radio show. More often than not, he tries to educate as opposed to inciting.

As far as Zimmerman goes, I am not sure that his case is a credible barometer in measuring the impact that Jackson or Sharpton has on the opinions of the average black American.

I know just as many non black people as black whö were not happy with the verdict.

Frankly, in my own circle of black professional friends, which probably far exceeds that of many here, I cannot recall the last time that either of those two were a topic of relevance in a discussion.

I have not seen anyone in your thread regardless of race minimize his achievements in his chosen field. His success as a neuro surgeon cannot be overshadowed by his politics, and they should not be. That would not be fair.

Self = role model :confused: Maybe uninteligible is a poor choice in words, but I don't understand it. Your parent/teacher comment was next. They are more important than a intangible figure in the national arena no doubt - as there is an intimate connection.

You have to admit that white on black violence is small compared to black on white, or black on black per population, but when it occurs, Al Sharpton, and Jessie Jackson, run to the forefront to magnify it with the usual incitive remarks. Obama can't refrain from gettin his big mouth in it too. When it is black on white - it is ignored. When it is black on black, it is dismissed as drug or economic in nature.

I'm sick of it; I have never heard either epouse personal responsibility. I'm sorry but they are all on my ignore list; I just can't bear to hear them speak. They have disgusted me to that point.

We should praise everyone for their hard earned achievments, and hold those who fail accountable.
 
Carson is a good role model of blacks who have climbed the ladder of success and then try to pull up the ladder behind them
