Yesterday and this morning my Facebook newsfeed has been flooded with black friends already bashing Dr. Carson. "coon", "not connected with African America roots", "sellout", "another Clarence Thomas", "used to look up to him but not after this", etc


Yeah. I don't know about this. I am black. At least half of the people I am connected to on social media are black and I have seen nothing like this. The one reference I saw to Dr. Carson criticized black voters for jumping ship and voting Republican because Dr. Carson is black.

Same.

I mean just think about it. This thread is entitled "Black Folk already bashing...." and all OP does to support that title is reference some FB friends. If I started a thread called "White folk (insert something stupid)" and only referenced some FB friends, how do you think that would go over? How many downvotes do you think I would get? Alot more than OP got, I guarantee you that.

Some posters must have very little to no interactions with blacks if they put this much stock in "black" FB friends of an anonymous message board poster.
