Are we all happy now that Emperor Trump has appointed his African-American , Doctor Uncle Ben Carson as Housing Secretary ?

Yep, instead of having him involved in his capacity as a [b]doctor[/b], Trump will have him dealing with HUD and housing projects. And Carson's so stupid he's bragging about it.

“I grew up in the inner city and have spent a lot of time there, and have dealt with a lot of patients from that area and recognize that we cannot have a strong nation if we have weak inner cities,” he said Tuesday.

The 65-year-old has no previous policy experience in the field of urban development.

It would've made just as much sense for Trump to appoint one of his supporters who came up from the trailer park.

Anybody who doesn't [b]get[/b] that Trump is a racist at his core even when he thinks he's doing good, is straight up [b]stupid.[/b] 😡

I was actually going to add 'uniquely unqualified' to his title in the question .... but I didn't want people thinking I was being unfair. Honest.

I agree he for sure should have been put in the medical secto. It doesn't make sense otherwise tbh , but this is the reality now . He is president because of people and their choices .
Wether trump is racist or not , the message he sent by nominating an African American at leasts somewhat shuts up some of his racist fans .its best to just stay positive this is the reality now .
@Pureblossom: I imagine his supporters will point to it as him [i]not[/i] being racist. But giving Carson what is basically the janitor's job shouldn't win Trump any points.

Didn't Carson turn down Health just a few weeks ago citing he felt unqualified to head up a federal department ? What changed ?
@pezzza: I questioned whether or not that was a serious offer, but it would've made more sense.

@bijouxbroussard: No points go to him . Once again i was just talking about the message being sent if you look at the positive aspect .I don't think Doctor Ben Carson Should accept the offer if he hasn't already declined I think it's beneath him or rather not his department .I think they probably did it so he wouldn't seem racist to those who think he is anyway .I'm just trying to be positive .
@Pureblossom: I understand, they probably do think so; but anyone looking at it realistically knows it indicates the opposite. Like Bush Sr replacing Thurgood Marshall with that joke Clarence Thomas and somehow thinking that because they're both black no one would notice any difference.

@bijouxbroussard I Believe Trump will help the Black Lives Matter Momment and have Young Black Men stop getting killed from White Officers Remember another Racist President helped The Black moment Lyndon B. Johnson
@TheLadiesMan: We'll see. I'm not optimistic.

@bijouxbroussard: Hasn't he already alluded to proscribing BLM as a terrorist organisation ? I don't think he's about to help them in any way whatsoever.
@pezzza: Of course not. TheLadiesMan is a troll who likes to wind folks up.
