Obama didn't say anything about slaves?
"And perhaps, like some of you, these new arrivals might have had some moments of doubt, wondering if they had made a mistake in leaving everything and everyone they ever knew behind. So life in America was not always easy. It wasn’t always easy for new immigrants. Certainly it wasn’t easy for those of African heritage who had not come here voluntarily, and yet in their own way were immigrants themselves. There was discrimination and hardship and poverty. But, like you, they no doubt found inspiration in all those who had come before them. And they were able to muster faith that, here in America, they might build a better life and give their children something more."
As noted above:
Many Africans came here as refugees and some ot the earliest arrivals came as indentured servants.

You leftards got busted in your faux outrage. You are clowns, time to move onto your next faux outrage item. I heard Dr Carson used to watch I Love Lucy more than the Sanford Sons.
I am not a leftie but I'll help them fight
the likes of idiots like you and Trump. Here is what Carson said:
A SPEECH IN WHIICH BEN CARSON SAID said:
That's what America is about, a land of dreams and opportunity," Carson said in his speech. "There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less. But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters, might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land."
The entire narrative of his speech is insane. he didn't just touch on the notion that slaves were immigrants he jumped in with both feet and elaborated on his fantasy. With rose colored glasses covering the far away look in his eyes, Carson leaned his head back, opened his mouth wide and left little doubt as to why he should have stuck with surgery.
Carson was talking about slaves..there is no dismissing the subjects in his narrative as anything else. And when he said they worked harder for less, I was still not too bothered by that . But when he said :"they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons
granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters, might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land," I knew the news media would record the reactions of Black pundits on that one. Carson went too far. He dared to go where even Obama feared to go. Obama 's remark can be dismissed as an inference to something else or just a slight oversight. But Carson made a fool of himself. What is more preposterous than the notion that slaves in the bottom of a slave ship would be entertaining thoughts about their descendants pursuing prosperity and happiness in this land. Hell, they had no idea where the **** they were going. Carson deserves this:
