I'm tired of people always assuming that everything I do should be or is about race. When I didn't vote for Obama I had to constantly explain why not to those who thought I was betraying my race. Now that I support Ben Carson there are others saying it is just because he is my race.
Why is everything always about race? Am I not capable of having legitimate feelings and thoughts about a person for reasons outside of the color their skin?
Stop the madness people.
When I look at the field of candidates there is only one top criteria for me to start the process of picking who I like and that is if they are a good Christian. Ben is a brilliant man who has spent his life healing people and he genuinely gives the glory to God and seems like the most faithful Christian on the stage. I would like to see the system turned on its head by not putting a career politician in the white house. I like his ideas. I think he would serve this country honorably and he might be the one and only one who can put a lid on the racial tensions. Except for the last thing I mentioned, it isn't about him being a black man, it is about him being the best servant of the Lord.
May God's will be done.
To everyone who assumes a black man isn't capable of voting for any reasons other than to support "a brother" grow up. Obama is not my brother in Christ or in conservativism. Ben Carson is and if Ben were white, I would feel the same way about him.
If Ben doesn't make the final cut there are others I can support without too much soul searching but for my first choice, I pick Ben.
Thank you for giving me a place to vent.
However, I really don't want a president who doesn't have a cabinet to consult because no man can KNOW it ALL. And one who pretends to know-it-all is a fake.
