Geraldo Rivera made unabashedly racist remarks about Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson while accusing Republicans of racism.
The gist of it: theyre only saying theyll vote for Carson because hes black.
On Fox News The Five on Thursday, Rivera commented on a Monmouth County College poll showing Carson would defeat Donald Trump in a head-to-head match-up. The shows resident liberal said he was reminded of the 1993 New York City mayoral election, in which African-American incumbent Mayor David Dinkins polled high and looked like he was going to win, only to be defeated by Rudy Giuliani.
I think a lot of Republicans polled by Monmouth are giving the politically correct answer, Rivera said. I think its all about being the black neurosurgeon, brilliant guy.
When co-host Greg Gutfeld asked whether people voted for Obama because he was black, Rivera again gave a racist response, saying, Obama was the least black guy you could possibly find.
If Carson were failing in the polls it would be because Republicans are racist, but if hes winning its because Republicans are racist.
Got that?

Affirmative action, bait and switch. George W. Bush "compassionate conservatives". Fake bleeding hearts.
Whorealdo wants us to vote for Marco Rubio, no doubt.
Title: Geraldo: Republicans are just pretending theyll vote for Carson because HES BLACK!
Maybe he's right.
If some retired white neurosurgeon decided he wanted to become prez because he didn't have a decent retirement hobby, would he get as much attention as Carson has gotten?
I do kinda doubt it. Carson is popular because he was such a pioneering pediatric neurosurgeon, world renowned. But, just as with Obama, it does make people feel good about themselves to think, "Sure, I'll vote for that black guy because that's just how broad-minded I really am".
How else do you explain people voting for anyone as inexperienced and loopy as Obama (and, most likely, Carson)?
Neither Obama or Carson really had the kind of political or career experience to suit them to conduct foreign policy, execute the laws faithfully, lead a large complex government, etc.

I seriously doubt that. Obomber burned the "black card" to the ground.
People accept the word "brilliant" as an adjective for Carson,but nobody but black racists ever associate the word with Obomber. The words "Affirmative Action" maybe,but not the word "brilliant".
Look at Merkel and the German elites, how they felt so good about themselves for (suicidally) pledging to take in all those "Syrian refugees" which just turn out to be young men who want to sign up for German (and Swedish) welfare and party and travel at the expense of the EU citizens that they despise. Merkel kept making remarks about how Germany is finally righting historical wrongs, how the world will finally love Germany, etc.
Completely delusional but they won't turn back from it, even after it has become well-understood exactly what is happening.
We see the same thing with Trump supporters. People do hoodwink themselves, even in the face of considerable evidence that they are being deceived. Why? Because they want to feel good about themselves.
Vanity and pride remain among the strongest motives in human behavior.
