On Monday’s Hannity Show, Republican Dr. Ben Carson slammed Democrats’ race-baiting narrative. The retired neurosurgeon says that Dems’ so-called equality fight is just new-aged racism. Explaining that what Democrats are doing, and have been doing, is telling young black children that their country hates them and they’ll never rise above their station in life because of ‘systematic racism’. Carson told viewers to ‘wake up’, that black voters are being sold a lie. A lie specifically used to control black voters and thwart real success:
“Redistribution agendas driven by race-based victimization narratives that demonize entire groups are bound to fail on many fronts,” he wrote, adding that “distributing government benefits and burdens based on the accident of race or gender is guaranteed to produce resentment among the disfavored group.”
“Rather than teach our children that they are victims of a racist system in which they can only be made whole by making people who have done nothing wrong pay for the past sins of others, we should teach them that they are in charge of their own dignity and their own future,” he argued.
Carson added that he was insulted at the liberal narrative that black voters wouldn’t know how to obtain proper identification to participate in voting during the Georgia elections.
Former Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Carson blasted the progressive push for racial equity as “what we used to call racism.”
In a new opinion piece published Monday, Carson argued that liberals’ shift to prioritize equity over equality is antithetical to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s ideals and “would reward and punish people because of the color of their skin.”
Current HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge explained during a confirmation hearing that equity is different than equality in that it requires treating people differently.
“From my own perspective, the difference is that one just means that you treat everybody the same,” Fudge said. “Sometimes the same is not equitable.”

The Democrat party fought against the abolishment of slavery and enforced ‘Jim Crow’ era laws throughout much of the south. Their political leaders (*cough* Biden) claim to ‘own the black vote’, yet somehow they’re the “for-equality” party? I don’t think so.
