Rupert Murdoch: Ben Carson Would Be 'A Real Black President'

Ben and Candy Carson terrific. What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else.

After much backlash, Murdoch tried to backtrack a bit by tweeting “Apologies! No offence meant. Personally find both men charming.”

That’s nice, but man, we’d love to hear Murdoch’s theory of why Barack Obama isn’t a “real” black president, wouldn’t you? Also, “addressing the racial divide” is just code for “Stop talking about how prevalent racism is because it makes powerful white people uncomfortable.”
