His inspirational story is depicted in the movie Gifted Hands starring Cuba Gooding. It's not that that movie is so good; it's that the story of Dr. Carson's life is so good.
Like any other kid in the early sixties, Carson was fixated more on television rather than school work. His mother, who he later discovers cannot read, was a primary motivator in his life to become an educated, functioning human being in an increasingly hostile inner city Detroit.
Carson eventually became one of the most successful neurosurgeons in the world, retiring recently.
Watching Carson's elevation to the public stage has been fascinating, not because of his excellent professional resume, but because his screen presence is evolving into a Reaganesque gentle humor and precision.
Though Carson has stumbled politically in the past, he is beginning to understand the hazards of and adapting to the slings and arrows of television punditry. In this time of our history, it could not be easier to articulate conservative positions yet no one does. I have hope for Carson's evolution.
So Carson's appearance on The View was quite remarkable; he handled himself well, supported by an insightful question from Terry Crews who played the "president" in the film Idiocracy, which is well worth watching as our unfortunate destiny if we let the pc Nazis determining our future.
Carson decries the Obama welfare mentality that infantilizes adults to become dependent on a condescending, plantation infrastructure of bureaucrats.
I have hesitated to post a link to one of the most disturbing, depressing pieces I have ever read about the black community in America, which is suffering because of Obama's liberal policies and the encouragement of the welfare state by wealthy white Leftists.
In the article, a liberal public defender says 90% of his clients are black, are completely disconnected from the actual world around them and unfeeling in any pain they may inflict on others. The concept of a social contract is completely lost on a culture that has had federal overlords for many years, and thus takes no familial or personal responsibility for behavior.
The entire piece is worth reading, though you will not be the same having read it; it is so disturbing--because it's the truth as this public defender has seen it--that I'm not going to include quotes other than his conclusion:
However, my experience has also taught me that blacks are different by almost any measure to all other people. They cannot reason as well. They cannot communicate as well. They cannot control their impulses as well. They are a threat to all who cross their paths, black and non-black alike.
I do not know the solution to this problem. I do know that it is wrong to deceive the public. Whatever solutions we seek should be based on the truth rather than what we would prefer was the truth. As for myself, I will continue do my duty to protect the rights of all who need me.Dr. Ben Carson, I believe, is aware of the "the truth" and could be able to take the steps necessary to change the course of history, not just for black people but for all people in this country. To my mind, one of his most appealing qualities is that he is not a politician, which admittedly can also be a deficit in the current attack/kill political environment that seizes on any word or phrase to discredit conservatives and Republicans and even libertarians.
Unfortunately Obama's policies, particularly his DOJ, continues to make exceptions for bad behavior, thus delaying accountability and correction.
Run, Ben. Run.
