  1. I have mad respect for Dr. Carson but I disagree with him on black voters having their eyes opened. I have spoken with numerous black friends and colleagues over the years and while a handful seemed willing to vote for candidates other than democrats, most of them told me they would never vote for a republican, no matter what. The most common reason I got when I asked why was "my family always votes for the democrat." I asked, what if the democrat sucked? They told me they would simply stay home. Those roots run so deep that I'm not sure that bond will ever be broken. Republicans may move the needle a bit, but 20% would be the highest percentage of the black vote I could ever see a republican getting. Of course, the republicans don't help themselves by never going into black neighborhoods and actively recruiting the vote but the suits at the RNC are all about fund raising and if they don't think they can milk a group for money they tend to shy away from them. That's one of the reasons I tell people I hate the republicans more than the democrats. But that's okay. I'm a conservative so they hate me right back. As far as that school changing the name, Dr. Carson is 100% correct. That is politics plain and simple. Here you have a man who has accomplished great, historic things that have benefitted mankind but because he's not a democrat they can't have their kids looking up to him. Instead, they are lobbying political leaders in Washington DC to display a bust of Coleman Young in the Capitol Building. Coleman Young, the most divisive, crooked mayor in the history of Detroit who single handedly accelerated the demise of that city by 20 years. I know, I lived through it. When I saw what they were trying to do with that bust I almost threw up. That SOB should have gone to prison. Instead, he gets a statue while Dr. Carson gets his name scrubbed. What a city. 🙄
