Samuel L. Jackson, among others, has hit back on Twitter at former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson after he said in a speech that slaves were ‘immigrants.’
Carson, who was recently appointed by President Trump as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, endorsed ‘The Donald’ for President and many on Twitter are astounded that Dr. Carson, a man with more than 60 honorary doctorates and a successful neurosurgeon, could be so stupid.
His credibility has certainly taken a hit…
Motherfucker…
OK!! Ben Carson….I can’t! Immigrants ? In the bottom of SLAVE SHIPS??!! MUTHAFUKKA PLEASE!!!#dickheadedtom

It’s hard to believe Ben Carson is a neurosurgeon… or a doctor… or went to college… or made it this far in life with being a dumbass.

Is this a golden age of satire?
According to Ben Carson this was a Carnival Cruise pic.twitter.com/DbnIrILjMm

Some people were just angry
Ben Carson said slaves were immigrants who came over here & worked for less. By “came” you mean FORCED and by “less” you mean NOTHING

Even Ben Carson knows he’s a bit of an idiot
I’m trying to remember who it was that said Ben Carson isn’t qualified to serve in a cabinet position. Oh, that’s right, it was Ben Carson. pic.twitter.com/oY142dtAdH

Do degrees mean anything anymore?
Listen to Ben Carson for five minutes & then try to convince me that a degree is anything more than a piece of paper with some words on it.

This really is a hard question to answer
It’s a helluva contest but Dr Carson may be the stupidest man breathing. https://t.co/0DzDVJ48FL
