FBJ Of The Week. Ben Carson For Saying Slaves Were Immigrants Looking For A Better Life
The newly appointed Secretary of the Housing Urban Development (HUD) stated earlier this week that slaves were immigrants that were looking for a better way of life. Ben caught a lot of heat for his remarks. Of course social media weighed in on the matter.

Ben Carson slaves didn't work for "less" they worked for FREE. Involuntary servitude. Sadly you are a voluntary slave.
