According to reports, Ben Carson actually went after Obama’s blackness and stated in a recent podcast that he feels the president didn’t really grow up black.

Politico’s Glenn Thrush was interviewing Dr. Carson on his Off Message podcast when the Republican displayed his epic tone deafness.
“I…like most Americans I was proud that we broke the color barrier when [Barack Obama] was elected. But I also recognize that his experience and my experience are night and day, different,” said Carson. “He didn’t grow up like I grew up by any stretch of the imagination. Not even close.”
Upon further inquiry, he added, “He’s an African American. He was, you know, raised white. Many of his formative years were spent in Indonesia so for him to, ya know, claim that he identifies with the experience of Black Americans I think is a bit of a stretch.” Note, it was the interviewer who initial emphasized the “African” American, but Carson took the bait.
I wish Ben would shut his c–n a-s up. On what planet is he blacker than Obama? F-ck outta here.
So growing up black means you can’t see the world as a child? Sigh…And this man is running for president.
Oh. He’s still a nonreactor though. He may as well do like Jeb and suspend his campaign. Ain’t nobody thinking about him.
He’s just mad Obama was able to do what he will never be able to do – win!!
So much irony.
And he is still irrelevant.
