Democrats like to put demeaning labels on fears -- homophobia and Islamophobia, to name a couple. So what should we call their fear of black men?
For it seems that they do fear black men who don't hue to their own party line. Case in point: Ben Carson. See for example, Why Carson Scares the Media by David Catron.
The answer is in the latest polls of registered voters. It’s not just that Carson has closed the gap on Donald Trump in the race for the GOP nomination. What really scares the media is that, in hypothetical general election match-ups, Carson consistently beats the probable Democrat nominee—Hillary Clinton. According to Real Clear Politics, most surveys of registered voters conducted since the beginning of September show Clinton losing to Carson in the general election. One shows Carson winning by 7 points. The opposite is true for Trump. Most polls covering the same time period show Clinton beating “the Donald” with ease.
Sure, it's partisan politics. But there's more to it than that. Democrats need black people to know their place as loyal subjects. And if a black man gets too far away from that, then they do what they can to get him back in line. Ben Carson's own words.
“They’re actually playing right into the narrative that I have predicted for them,” Carson told host Matt Boyle on Breitbart News Sunday. “Because they can’t stand the thought of a black person who is a conservative, who hasn’t had to make it on their handout and be at their beck and call and doing the things that they want them to do. It just infuriates them.”
