Ben Carson Is Getting Dragged For Saying Slaves Were Immigrants



Ben Carson getting dragged for equating slaves to immigrants.

 

Monday, U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson addressed his employees in Washington, DC. for the first time since he took office. He tried his damndest to give an inspirational introductory speech, but that piece crashed and burned.

While speaking about immigrants, he said that people who came over to America at the bottom of slave ships and worked for far less were also immigrants.

Nah, Ben. They were called slaves. They didn’t just “come over,” they were ripped from their own families and forced against their will to come to America. And they didn’t work for “far less,” they worked for nothing. Zip, zero, zilch.

Jordan Peele, director of Get Out, and a few others had epic responses:

Ben issued a response as social media dragged him for filth:
