Ben Carson on renaming institutions named after racists – Stop being “offended… grow up…”

It must be a requirement. I cannot understand why everyone in Trump’s administration is hellbent on staying on the wrong side of every issue. It must be a requirement for the entire administration to go against everything the masses want. And Ben Carson is no exception.

Ben Carson, Trump’s HHA Secretary made a Sunday visit to “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” and took part in a televised interview. Asked by the host if he approves of the dismantling of monuments depicting racist historic figures, or the renaming of institutions named after confederate and racist figures, Ben Carson concluded that we have going too far, and that “we’re going to have to grow up as a society.”

You know, we’ve reached a point in our society where we dissect everything and try to ascribe some nefarious notion to it. We really need to move away from that. We need to move away from being offended by everything, of going through history and looking at everything, you know, of renaming everything — I mean, think about the fact that some of our universities, some of our prestigious universities, have a relationship with the slave trade. Should we go and rename those universities?

It really gets to a point of being ridiculous after a while. And, you know, we’re going to have to grow up as a society.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
