ARTIST'S DESCRIPTION
This #MRasheedCartoons image was created as the cover illustration to a short dialog I participated in on LinkedIn with a Black Republican immigrant lady trying to claim that Black people were calling Ben Carson 'white' because of his taste in sports and music. It took me a couple of rounds of explaining that it was what he was actually saying in public, not anything personal in his private life, before she seemed to finally get it and deflate.

Alexandra Tchomte - Ben Carson has faced a lot of this discrimination . So sad ...
Does knowing how to play piano ,playing golf ,listening to classic music and watching opera mean one is white for heaven sake ??
I am against white supremacy .I am against Black supremacy. I am against yellow supremacy. I am against red supremacy. I am against the supremacy of some humans over others . Period.
The worst part is when politicians now want to divide blacks .Black conservatives are millions ,yet some folks want to do as if they aren't. Some black liberals now see black conservatives as betrayers . Please ,blacks should not fall in the trap of division .

No. But being a shameless paid shill for white conservatives does.
Alexandra Tchomte - What about being a shameless paid shill for white liberals ? Everybody could try to turn things into their favour but in the current state where America is ,it takes more than childish rhetorics ,don't you think ? The country needs to unite ....except if some shameless liberals or even conservatives want a bad system to maintain them under this diabolic yoke .
By the way ,I might be wrong but I feel so much hate .Calm down bro.

It would be 100% the same in every possible way.

Agreed.
Alexandra wrote: "The country needs to unite ....except if some shameless liberals or even conservatives want a bad system to maintain them under this diabolic yoke ."
In context, are you suggesting that Carson's shameless paid shilling for diabolical white conservatives represents that "uniting?"
Alexandra wrote: "By the way ,I might be wrong but I feel so much hate .Calm down bro."
"Hate" from pointing out that it isn't the love of classical music, etc., that makes one a member of the white racist support class, but agreeing to be their paid shill? How is helping to clarify the distinction "hate?"
Alexandra Tchomte - There you go bro .I guess you don't like Dr Ben Carson and I also guess you accuse him of being paid by white conservatives just because his school of thoughts is different from yours . What a reasoning !
Muhammad Rasheed - Alexandra wrote: "There you go bro ."
Yup. There I go. I noticed you didn't bother to address what I actually wrote. It kinda makes your "let's all unite!" comments ring hollow, but I don't expect you to publicly acknowledge your own hypocrisies.
Alexandra wrote: "I guess you don't like Dr Ben Carson..."
Should I? I'm indifferent to his musical and sports tastes, but that whole shilling so white conservatives (and their loyal Black immigrant support staff) can 'make it rain' on his stage performances doesn't particularly appeal to me.
Alexandra wrote: "and I also guess you accuse him of being paid by white conservatives just because his school of thoughts is different from yours . What a reasoning !"
uhhh... It's actually because he publicly recites everything white conservatives love while on a speaking tour paid out of white conservative speaking fee coffers. lol
Alexandra Tchomte - mamamama Likely you are very vocal and fertile at producing words but your negativity against Ben Carson or even "black immigrant support staff " won't solve America 's issue .
Ben Carson has transformed the lives of millions of people in and out of America . There is absolutely nothing you can do about that bro.
Have a blessed day
Muhammad Rasheed - Alexandra wrote: "mamamama"
Aye.
Alexandra wrote: "your negativity against Ben Carson"
I'm negative against the false idea that Carson is a traitor because of his sports & musical tastes. He's a traitor because he supports white supremacist policies that negatively affect his ethnic group. Just so we're clear.
Alexandra wrote: "or even 'black immigrant support staff ' won't solve America 's issue ."
Note that the recognized first step in solving a problem is to identify it. ;)
Alexandra wrote: "Ben Carson has transformed the lives of millions of people in and out of America ."
"Transformed" what by doing what exactly? Based on Carson's actual performance since he's abandoned his medical practice for the far more lucrative role of paid shill of white conservatives, your odd comment creates more questions than answers.
Alexandra wrote: "There is absolutely nothing you can do about that bro."
lol First be so kind as to identify this (possibly fictitious) "transformation" that Dr. Carson is supposed to be doing for everyone, please, ma'am. Thank you. #YourMove
Alexandra Tchomte - @Muhammad... ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥😘😘😘 God bless us bro .
Muhammad Rasheed - May God bless us in our sincere efforts done according to what He revealed, Alexandra.
Have a wonderful day.
