And of course he picks the black guy to be the point man on gutting HUD

[Recursion]

Nevermind that he has no government experience. Nevermind that he's a physician (and I will say apparently a pretty good one), and so would be a better pick for HHS or as Surgeon General. No. The black guy gets HUD, because that's how the Republican brain works...

1. I think you aren't being cycnical enough... He has picked a black man to DISMANTLE HUD

through sheer incompetence, if not a pre-packaged plan. Remember, Trump lost (settled) multiple Federal lawsuits due to racial discrimination in his buildings and wants nothing more than to exact retribution to his real and perceived "enemies".

[brer cat]

4. I'm cynical enough.

He is there to dismantle HUD as a game plan going in. I guess dump thinks people can't complain if a black man does it.

2. What two words come to mind?

Oh yea,

CLARENCE THOMAS

6. uncle tom???

8. No fair just using synonyms

[heaven05]

10. heh, heh

[lunasun]

3. Carson said heDoesn't want to focus on discrimination in housing .Trumps dad would be so proud

Carson called fair housing communism
and Bannon etc want to watch hud burn so it's good all around for the psychos
It's worse than just the word urban in hud dept.connection / diss IMO

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. And what qualifies him for HUD?

He owns a house?
He's lived in cities?

The goal of this ridiculous appointment couldn't be clearer.

[Recursion]

7. And he's a ****ing world famous surgeon!!!

That's what kills me. Like, he's legitimately famous as a doctor. Why not surgeon general?

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. I may be more qualified than he is.

I've actually worked with urban and land planners during my career.

11. He is black and was raised in the projects.

The way the incompetent one "thinks", I would be surprised if the decision was based on otherwise.

[kwassa]

13. Ben Carson never lived in public housing, either.

so, he really has no experience of any kind in this area.

[sheshe2]

12. Bye bye HUD....

Just when I needed them.

He wants us all dead. Who will shine his shoes?

[JI7]

14. from what i hear he turned down HHS

but he seems to want HUD .

[serbbral]

15. When I first heard of him picking Ben Carson

I was thinking the same thing. Of course, the BLACK man has to be appointed to something that has to do with anything URBAN. Yes, of course.
