you can call ben carson an idiot dumbfuck and it not be racist because he is an idiotdumb gently caress. quibbling over the latent racism behind it is kinda besides the point because all white people are racist anyways so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's not racist to criticize Ben Carson for being an idiot but guess what, people criticize minority idiots way harder and way more frequently because they're minorities and the whole entirety of recorded history proves this so stop whining when that's pointed out to you.

please check the histograms of criticism rates before criticizing a complete fool, lol

This is true, but it's never really a reasonable rebuttal to an individual (unless the individual reveals their racism in some other way, in which case you would just focus on that instead).

A good analogy is the topic of Israel. The fact that a minority of "anti-Israel" people disproportionately focus on Israel due to some degree of antisemitism is true, but it doesn't really change the fact that Israel is actually evil. The attacks on Israel aren't the problem in such a case (unless they're obviously racist in nature), so much as the general culture/environment that lead to an undercurrent of antisemitism.

it is, actually. blacks being shiftless, lazy, nap loving, has always been a racist trope. the reason it never came up for Carson is because he was on the right team.

I've only ever been 100% serious in calling Carson pathetic. Guy should stick to neurosurgery, where he actually helps people, and stop contributing to the ruination of lives by filling a role he's unsuited for and supporting Trump. I think he stood out to me because he made such an rear end of himself during the campaign, but perhaps I simply have unexamined issues with race and would appreciate an extremely lengthy PM from somebody correcting me.

Well, laziness is still different than just being really good at sleeping. In fact Ben Carson's sleepiness is the opposite of lazy because he's found ways to actually sleep while performing his job.
