Good ol’ uncle Ben then attempted to apologize for (and defend) his prior statement, but received very little acceptance from the public, Samuel Jackson, included. *SCROLL DOWN FOR SAMUEL JACKSON”S VIDEO RESPONSE*
Ben Carson’s Half Apology:
“I’m proud of the courage and perseverance of Black Americans and their incomprehensible struggle from slavery to freedom. I’m proud that our ancestors overcame the evil and repression that we know as slavery.
The slave narrative and immigrant narrative are two entirely different experiences. Slaves were ripped from their families and their homes and forced against their will after being sold into slavery by slave traders.
The Immigrants made the choice to come to America. They saw this country as a land of opportunity. In contrast, slaves were forced here against their will and lost all their opportunities. We continue to live with that legacy.
The two experiences should never be intertwined, nor forgotten, as we demand the necessary progress towards an America that’s inclusive and provides access to equal opportunity for all.
We should revel in the fact that although we got here through different routes, we have many things in common now that should unite us in our mission to have a land where there is liberty and justice for all.
Dr. Ben Carson, Secretary of HUD”
Samuel Jackson’s Video Response To Carson’s Apology
When stopped at the airport by TMZ cameramen, and asked about his thoughts now on Ben Carson’s wack apology, Samuel Jackson had precise words for him: “Don’t apologize, QUIT.” Check out the video below…

Overall, it’s very clear to see why Donald Trump chose Dr. Ben Carson to be the secretary of HUD, they seem to share the same views and values. Trump has gone on record as saying one of the greatest times in America was the Industrial Era, which just so happened to be the slave era of the late 1700’s. Ben Carson, in his quest to discuss the greatness of America, seems to think that slaves had the “land of opportunity” right there at their fingertips as they lay defecating and puking on themselves, chained together at the bottom of slave ships.
ILOSM fam,’ I respect Dr. Carson for the groundbreaking neurosurgeon that he is, but I’m with Samuel Jackson on this one, Jackson’s first response to Carson’s comments were on point…
OK!! Ben Carson….I can't! Immigrants ? In the bottom of SLAVE SHIPS??!! MUTHAFUKKA PLEASE!!!#dickheadedtom
