Note To Ben Carson Bashers: When Obama Called Slaves 'Immigrants,' You Showered Him With Praise

Ben Carson Plagiarizes Obama

In an unscripted talk to employees, newly minted Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson referred to slaves as immigrants, and the outrage was fast and furious.

Two sample tweets:

OK!! Ben Carson …. I can't! Immigrants? In the bottom of SLAVE SHIPS??!! MUTHAF(….)A PLEASE!!!#dickheadedtom

This can't be real. Slaves were not & are not immigrants. 2017.
— Chelsea Clinton (@ChelseaClinton) March 6, 2017

Whoopi Goldberg, the NAACP and a multitude of others expressed their outrage in similar terms.

Huffington Post's Jason Linkins said Carson's remark "makes one wonder how far the Trump administration will go to revise the history of the black experience in America."

Just read Carson's crazy statement for yourself and you can understand the anger.

"Life in America was not always easy," he said. "It wasn't always easy for new immigrants. Certainly it wasn't easy for those of African heritage who had not come here voluntarily and yet in their own way were immigrants themselves. There was discrimination and hardship and poverty. But, like you, they no doubt found inspiration in all those who had come before them. And they were able to muster faith that, here in America, they might build a better life and give their children something more."

Unbelievable! Slaves were "immigrants" who "found inspiration in all those who had come before them"?!?!

Oh, wait. That wasn't Ben Carson.

Those remarks were made by another prominent African American — Barack Obama — who happened to be president at the time.

Surely Obama's inept comparison raised hackles, too, right?

Well, not exactly. In fact, Obama's remarks — which were contained in a written speech he read from a teleprompter at a naturalization ceremony on Dec. 15, 2015 — received widespread and fulsome praise.

Various news accounts described Obama's speech as "an impassioned defense of migrants," "heartfelt," "a soaring tribute to American history and values," "a full-throated defense of a liberal immigration policy," "a plea for Americans to remember poor treatment toward immigrants in the past and to not repeat it."
