"Hey! here's a black guy, let's throw him in for President"

[gryphus]

Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and possible 2016 Republican presidential candidate, says he believes homosexuality is a choice. His proof? Prison.

"A lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight," Carson said in an interview with CNN Wednesday. "And when they come out, they're gay. So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question."

Carson's belief is at odds with others in the medical community who say "most people experience little or no sense of choice about their sexual orientation."

Did the GOP just say "Hey! here's a black guy, let's throw him in for President"?

Um....this is fairly offensive off the bat but no, they didn't just go "oh look, a token black man!"

Ben Carson is a well known figure in conservative circles. He's been around for a while. It's not as if the grand old party fished a no-name out of some box somewhere.

Best of luck to you and your stay here, gryphus.
