Ben Carson: Women's Lib Movement To Blame for Michael Brown's Death

[Mr.NoSmile]

Even though the unarmed teen was murdered by incompetent white police officer Darren Wilson, Carson decided to instead pin the blame on the feminist movement in what appears to be an early effort to take the lead among conservatives for which Republican can offend women the most.

Speaking on America Family Radio, Carson suggested that women are incapable of teaching their kids to respect authority which he considers the reason why so many black youths are killed by police or end up incarcerated.

And...

Certainly in a lot of our inner cities, in particular the black inner cities, where 73 percent of the young people are born out of wedlock, the majority of them have no father figure in their life. Usually, the father figure is where you learn how to respond to authority. So now you’re a teenager, you’re out there, you have no idea how to respond to authority and you eventually run into the police or you run into somebody else in the neighborhood who also doesn’t know how to respond but is badder than you are, and you get killed or you end up in the penal system...I think a lot of it really got started in the ’60s with the ‘Me’ generation. ‘What’s in it for me?’ I hate to say it, but a lot of it had to do with the women’s lib movement. You know, ‘I’ve been taking care of my family, I’ve been doing that, what about me?’ You know, it really should be about us.

And they wonder why people talk about a war on women.

Does Carson have any staff or consultants?

I listened to the entire audio. It's not the way it way the transcripts of it were cut and pasted together. The conversation had moved on beyond Mike Brown to the larger question of violence in the black community. And many people do place blame on the disintegration of the black family. I heard a right wing talk radio host use that same "73%" statistic the other day.

I knew it just a matter of time before this guy started saying stupid shit.

 

[William Tell]

Carson is right about the destruction of the family.

 

[A. Havnes]

Why does this sound like something right out of an MRA reddit?

Carson might turn out to be the black version of Ted Cruz, whose role in 2016 may be to divide the Tea Party/non-establishment vote in the primaries, and to draw Rand into secondary disputes over the correct way to phrase certain positions, so as to deflate the latter's status as a frontrunner.

Carson did not say or imply what's in the title of this thread.

I wondered because I thought Brown had both a dad and stepdad in his life.

I saw this, have not looked into it though:

Yeah. We should be careful to "do unto others as we would have the do unto us." Ron Paul gets misquoted in the media all the time as does Rand. We don't like that either.

I have a very heart warming video to share. It has a little to do with the subject, its about children's need for a father figure, police, Ferguson, women liberation and some very surprising stats associated with fatherlessness (which is not necessarily a bad thing).

Wow! Awesome video.
