BEN CARSON YESTERDAY MADE OUTRAGEOUS
COMMENTS ABOUT SLAVES AS USUAL.
LET'S SHARE THAT WITH YOU AND THEN I WENT TO GIVE YOU
SAMUEL L .JACKSON'S REACTION AND YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT.
ÖWERE OTHER IMMIGRANTS WHO CAME HERE IN THE BOTTOM OF
SLAVE SHIPS, WORKED EVEN LONGER, EVEN HARDER FOR LESS.
BUT THEY TOO HAD A DREAM.
NO, THEY DIDN'T.
THEY HAD A NIGHTMARE.
THEY DIDN'T COME HERE LOOKING FOR A DREAM, IT WAS INVOLUNTARY.
THEY CAME IN CHAINS AND NOW I DONíT WANT TO GO THROUGH ALL THE
THINGS THAT GO INTO SLAVERY AGAIN, BUT APPARENTLY HE
DOESN'T GET IT SO SAMUEL JACKSON TWEETS, OKAY BEN CARSON, I CAN'T.
IMMIGRANTS?
IN THE BOTTOM OF SLAVE SHIPS?
MOTHER FUCKER PLEASE.
#DICKHEADEDTOM
I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT HASHTAG BEFORE.
NEITHER HAVE I BUT APPARENTLY AMERICAN PEOPLE LIKED IT
BECAUSE THERE WERE 252,000 LIKES.
TO BE FAIR, BEN CARSON TRIED TO WALK THAT COMMENT BACK.
HE WENT ON ARMSTRONG WILLIAMSí SHOW.
WHETHER YOU ARE VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY IF YOU COME
FROM OUTSIDE TO THE INSIDE, YOU ARE AN IMMIGRANT.
SLAVES CAME HERE AS INVOLUNTARY IMMIGRANTS.
BUT THEY STILL HAD THE STRENGTH TO HOLD ON.
THAT IS NOT REALLY HOW IT WORKED.
THEY ACTUALLY HELD ON FOR GENERATIONS AND GENERATIONS
AND A LOT OF THEM DIDN'T, THEY WERE WORKED TO DEATH.
AGAIN, FOR THEM AMERICA DID NOT REPRESENT FREEDOM, IT
REPRESENTED THE EXACT OPPOSITE.
OKAY.
THAT IS LIKE SAYING IF SOMEONE RUNS UP TO YOU ON THE
STREET, AND IS WAILING ON YOU, YOU ARE AN INVOLUNTARY BOXER.
STILL A BOXER.
REPUBLICANS LOVE TO CHANGE WORDS, STATE TAX BECOMES
DEATH TAX.
TORTURE BECOMES ENHANCED INTERROGATION AND SLAVERY
HAS BECOME INVOLUNTARY IMMIGRATION.
THAT IS ALL.
IT IS SO EASY, JUST SAY I AM EXTREMELY SORRY FOR MY
CHOICE OF WORDS.
IT IMPLIED THAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE
HORRORS OF SLAVERY.
I SHOULD HAVE SAID IT A DIFFERENT WAY, OBVIOUSLY SLAVERY IS ONE OF
THE WORST TRAGEDIES IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
THAT IS ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY NO,
I'M ACTUALLY RIGHT.
WOULD SAMUEL L. JACKSON HAD ACCEPTED THAT APOLOGY?
HE TOLD TMZ, AN APOLOGY IS NOT GOING TO HELP.
OKAY.
HE COULD QUIT AND STOP TALKING.
HOW ABOUT THAT?
HE HAS TO TAKE A VOW OF SILENCE.
WHEN ASKED IF HE THINKS IF THE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD ADDRESS
IT, JACKSON ADDED, THEY PROBABLY THINK THE SAME THING HE THINKS.
WHICH IS WHY THEY PUT HIM INTO OFFICE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
OF COURSE THEY THINK THE SAME THING HE THINKS.
THEY HAVE THIS IDEA OF THE IDYLLIC SLAVERY PERIOD WHERE IT
IS LIKE, YEAH, THE WHITE SLAVE MASTERS WERE LOOKING AFTER THEM.
THEY GOT THEM HOUSING AND HEALTHCARE, OCCASIONALLY
THEY LET THEM LEARN TO READ.
IT WAS NICE AND IT
WAS A RELAXING TIME WITH FAMILY AND SONG.
THEY LITERALLY SAY THIS.
BILL O'REILLY SAID IT.
BEN CARSON IS JUST KIND OF A STUPIDER VERSION OF THAT
BASICALLY.
IT'S THE SAME PICTURE.
WHAT SAMUEL L. JACKSON IS TRYING TO POINT OUT IS THAT
IS THE WHOLE POINT OF BEN CARSON SO THEY CAN PUT HIM
FORWARD AND SAY I DIDN'T SAY IT.
BILL OíREILLY SCREWED UP AND SAID IT LAST YEAR, IT WAS A
YOUTHFUL INDISCRETION AT 70
SOMETHING YEARS OLD BUT NO, THE BLACK GUY SAID IT.
YOU SEE IT, OUR ONE BLACK FRIEND, WE GOT HIM TO SAY
SLAVERY IS JUST INVOLUNTARY IMMIGRATION.
THE HASHTAG HEARD AROUND THE WORLD, DICK HEADED TOM.
AROUND THE TWITTERVERSE
THIS IS THE THING, I ALWAYS REMEMBER THERE'S BEEN A BIT OF
IT, OBVIOUSLY IT'S A REFERENCE TO UNCLE TOM SO THAT'S THE
DISPARAGING TERM YOU USE FOR A BLACK PERSON SELLING OUT, WHO IS
BEING THE VOICE THAT RACIST WHITE FOLKS CAN'T SAY
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T COVER.
HE GIVES YOU EASY.
GET A GAY PERSON TO TALK ABOUT HOW NASTY GAY PEOPLE ARE
AND A BLACK PERSON TO CITIZEN BYE-BYE PEOPLE DO ON AN ON.
BUT I REMEMBER LOOKING UP AND SEEING HOW YOU COULD USE
THAT TERM AND WHETHER IT WAS ACCEPTABLE, PEOPLE HE TO BE
CALLED THAT.
THEY COMES FROM THE BOOK UNCLE CALLED TOM'S CABIN AND I
REMEMBER, THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
AT FIRST, UNCLE TOM CHARACTER WAS SEEN AS A MARTYR IN THE
BOOK BECAUSE HE STOOD UP, HE WAS PROTECTING SLAVES THAT
ESCAPES, OR SOMETHING.
HAVEN'T READ IT, AND THEN HE WAS KILLED FOR IT SO HE WAS SEEN AS
A MARTYR AS A CHARACTER AND HE IS LIKE THIS IS A REALLY STRONG,
KEEPS TO HIS WILL BLACK SLAVE BUT I READ AT ABOUT 1919 THERE
WAS A SHIFT, WHEN BLACK AMERICANS WERE GETTING MORE OF
THIS PRIDE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE UNCLE TOM'S DOTTED
SUDDENLY HE CAME AS BAD THING TO BE AN UNCLE TOM THAT YOU
NEED TO BE A STRONGER BLACK PERSON THAN THIS.
SOME PEOPLE, IT COULD BE A POSITIVE TERM BECAUSE THAT
WAS THE ORIGINAL POWER THE BOOK IS WRITTEN BUT IT IS ALSO
TAKEN AS A BAD THING.
WHAT STEVE THINKS SAME ELIJAH L JACKSON MAKE?
APPRECIATED MEAN AS A COMPLEMENT ARE
YOU'RE RIGHT, AND THERE IS CONFUSION AROUND THAT PHRASE AND
IT IS UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE IT GOT TWISTED, BUT COLLOQUIALLY,
EVERYBODY MEANS AS SOMEONE WHO IS A SELLOUT, REQUESTER
INTERESTING CONVERSATION IS HOW DOES IT AFFECT DIFFERENT RACES?
WHO CAN SEND WHO CAN'T SAY IT?
IS IT A BIG DEAL IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY TO CALL SOMEONE
UNCLE TOM?
IS THAT ALMOST LIKE CALLING THEM A WORD WHERE, LIKE THE
N-WORD WERE YOU GO HEY, HEY, BE COOL?
AND IS A WHITE PERSON ALLOWED TO CALL BLACK PERSON UNCLE TOM?
IT'S A STRONGER VERSION OF SELLOUT.
SO TESTOSTERONE, IT'S EASY DIVE A WHITE PERSON, IT'S ONE OF
THOSE THINGS, THEIR SCENARIOS ARE WHY FOLKS WILL BE LIKE
I AM STANDING UP IN SUPPORT OF BLACK FOLKS AND NOT SELLING
OUT BUT YOU START CALLING BUT FOLKS UNCLE TOM'S, HOLD
ONTO YOU JUST OBSERVE, STOP TALKING.
THERE'S STILL ALIVE.
YOU DON'T JUMP IN AS IF YOU KNOW ENOUGH OF THE BACKGROUND OR
HAVE EXPERIENCED ENOUGH OF THE BACKGROUND OF BEING A BLACK
PERSON IN AMERICA WANT TO SAY YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
ME AND MY BLACK FRIENDS CALL YOU SELL A BLACK PERSONABLE TOM.
I LIKE THEY ARE SUPPORTING BECOME DONE WITH THE TERMS.
HAVING DONE THE SHOW FOR 15 STRAIGHT YEARS, I'D BE
SURPRISED IF I DIDN'T SAY IT AT SOME POINT.
WHEN I GOT ALL WORKED UP THE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM ANYWAY.
BUT I'M NOT BLACK.
I'M RACE LIST AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER IN THE SHOW
APPARENTLY, AND IT IS NOT ABOUT THOUGHT POLICE.
IT'S NOT ABOUT POLITICALLY CORRECT.
IT IS ABOUT BEING THOUGHTFUL ABOUT YOU KNOW, OTHER
PEOPLE'S FEELINGS.
KNOWING THAT, I THINK THAT IT MAKES SENSE THAT HEY, MAYBE
IS NOT MY ROLE TO SAY THAT EVEN IF I'VE SAID IN THE PAST ARE
PART OF THE REASON WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION IS THAT
IS NOT A THING THAT IS SET LIGHTLY BECAUSE, LOOK, I WAS IN
A TOUR IN CHARLESTON, SUCCULENT JUST EARLIER THIS YEAR AND THEY
EXPLAINED THAT THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT THE SLAVE REVOLT
TURNS, THERE WERE SEVERAL SLAVERS REVOLT, THE BIGGEST ONE
INVOLVED 1000 SLAVES IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE NUMBER ONE
THING THEY HAD TO MAKE SURE WAS IN THE WORDS OF MY
AFRICAN-AMERICAN TOUR GUIDE, THE HOUSE NEGROES DIDN'T FIND OUT
BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE THE FIRST TO SELL YOU OUT AND IN FACT,
THAT PARTICULAR ONE, THE LARGEST ONE, ONE OF THE HOUSE NEGROES
DID FIND OUT, THEY TOLD THE MASTERS AND MANY WERE ARRESTED.
MANY OF THE PEOPLE PLANNING THE REVOLVER KILLED.
TO YOUR POINT ABOUT THE RIGHT WING SAYS THEY PROVIDE THEM
HEALTHCARE DOUBT WHERE THE WHIPPING ARE EXECUTIONS FOR
THE HEALTHCARE?
NOT QUITE SURE ABOUT THAT.
SEPARATING FAMILIES, RAPE.
OBVIOUSLY SAMUEL L JACKSON THINKS THAT BEEN CARSON
DESERVES IT AND SIMILAR I'LL JACKSON IS NOT A GUY WHO
USUALLY TIP TOWNS HER TIPTOES AROUND THE LINE.
IF HE THINKS HE'S GOT IT HE WILL SAY IT.
SO, WHAT IS YOUR TAKE?
DOES BEEN CARSON CROSSED THE LINE, JR INTO A DICK HEADED TOM?
THE DICK HEADED TOM PART, I'M STILL TRYING TO PICTURE
EXACTLY THE
DON'T TRY TO PICTURE IT TOO HARD.
ITíS A FUN TWIST ON THE TERM.
WHEN YOU HAVE THIS CONSISTENCY, IT'S ALMOST LIKE
WHEN WE SAW IN THE ELECTION.
OH MY GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE BEN CARSON
SAID SUCH A THING.
LIKE OH HERE COMES BEN CARSON AGAIN.
HE HAS A TRACK RECORD.
YOU CAN EXPOUND ON THE WORD ALL YOU WANT THE WAY SAMUEL L.
JACKSON DID.
I AM OKAY WITH THAT BUT IT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE AREAS
SO IT IS KIND OF FALLING ON DEAF EARS IS FOLLOWED BY IS THE
TARGET OF A DIASTOLIC BEEN CARSON IS GOING TO BE LIKE
MAN, SIMILAR I'LL JACKSON REALLY KNOWS HOW MUCH OF A SELLOUT IM.
I THINK ALSO DOING THIS.
KNOW.
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
HE'S MAKING HIS MONEY GETTING HIS PRESTIGE AND FILLING
HIS EGO BASED ON BEING SUBORDINATE TO SOMEONE WHO
ACTUALLY HATES TO BE AS.
IT'S OKAY.
GOOD FOR HIM.
I MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE, I WAS LOOKING BASED ON THIS ON
HIS TWITTER ACTIVITY TIME I HAVE ANOTHER SIGNAL JACKSON
STORY FOR TOMORROW.
HE IS ON A WARPATH.
A LOT OF HIS CHARACTERS ON THE WARPATH AND IT TURNS
OUT THERE'S A GOOD REASON FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT IS THE
KIND OF GUY HE IS THE
HE PLAYED ONE OF THOSE CHARACTERS, ONE IN REVERSE.
THAT'S RIGHT, HE PLAYED IN JANGO UNCHAINED, HE PLAYED
THE HOUSE NEGRO.
FINALLY, JUST QUICK DEFENSE OF BEEN CARSON, THAT SAME SPEECH HE
DID POINT OUT WHAT SOMETIMES CAN HAPPEN TO A BRAIN TO MAKE A SAY
THINGS THAT SHOULDN'T SAY, THIS IS A LITERAL QUOTE FROM THE
SAME SPEECH.
EVERY HUMAN BEING, REGARDLESS OF THEIR NEW CITIES OR THEIR
BACKGROUND, THEY HAVE A BRAIN, THE HUMAN BRAIN.
YOU CAN'T OVERLOAD THE BRAIN.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD PEOPLE SAY, DON'T DO THAT OR YOU'RE
OVERLOAD YOUR BRAIN?
YOU CAN'T OVERLOAD THE HUMAN BRAIN.
MAYBE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
HE JUST GOT ALL THAT BRAIN SURGERY.
HE JUST OVERLOADED IT.
REMEMBER GUYS, NOT THE ELEPHANT BRAIN, NOT A MY SPRING, THE
HUMAN BRAIN.
HE IS AN EXPERT ON THE BRAIN.
THAT IS HIS THINK THAT WE CRITICIZE HIM FOR DOING OTHER
STUFF BUT THAT IS HIS THING THAT HE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THAT.
CAN YOU BE AN EXPERT ON THE BRAIN WITHOUT HAVING ONE?
LET'S LOOK.
