Firs this:
Ben and Candy Carson terrific. What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else.
Then this:
2 stories. Carson, Detroit ghetto to brilliant neurosurgeon.
Obama white upbringing to community organizer.
Sincere men, different values
Cuz, you know, I need a white Aussie asshole to tell me who is a "real black" person.

(101,361 posts)Let's remember Murdoch inherited his newspapers from his father Sir Keith Murdoch. He has no connection with what is 'really' black at all.
This is what Murdoch was tweeting about Carson last month - he's been pushing Carson for some time:
"Latest Iowa poll has Carson level with Trump. America land of hope versus fear." https://twitter.com/rupertmurdoch/status/639023743822659584
"Maybe the one to beat. Irreproachable on background, achievements, character, vision." https://twitter.com/rupertmurdoch/status/640150436020785152

They're dumb ideas, but they're still ideas.

(10,274 posts)Dr. Carson seems to be only educated enough to be good at his job, but not enough to actually be able to think critically about anything else.
You can extrapolate in any direction you wish, but probably there's only one conclusive idea that can be drawn here.

(2,061 posts)Where would you stand on Murdoch if, in his eminent capacity as an Australian, he told of how successful Australia's gun ban is? Would that resonate with you?

(16,351 posts)They had a crawler up this morning that said: Murdock: Carson would be first real black president.
The crawler should have said "Rupert Murdock makes racist tweet".
Trying to normalize racism is fucked up but the cnn producers are too stupid to see what they did.
KamaAina
(78,249 posts)Just because his mom was haole hardly meant he had what Murdreck would consider a "white upbringing". Even Punahou is more diverse than similar fancy prep schools on the mainland would be; a prominent feature on its campus is the Wo International Center, named for an alumni donor of Chinese descent.
