Ben Carson On Charleston Shootings: Racism ‘Still Very Much Alive’
Retired neurosurgeon and Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson took to Facebook Thursday to express his condolences to the families of the nine church congregants shot and killed by a deranged gunman in Charleston, South Carolina.
“Last night evil walked the streets of Charleston. My heart aches for the families of the victims. I pray for the families left behind,” he wrote. “I pray for the community scared and hurting. I also pray you and I can conquer hatred.
“In my lifetime I have seen such great progress. Though racial based hate is still very much alive as last night so violently reminded us,” Mr. Carson continued. “But I worry about a new hate that is growing in our great nation. I fear our intolerance of one another is the new battle ground of evil. Today many feel it is OK to hate someone who thinks differently than you do.
