It’s been claimed that one reason for Donald Trump’s meteoric rise in the polls is due not to his knowledge on policy issues (on which he doesn’t seem to be particularly astute), but on his outside-the-Beltway status and his bold, no-holds-barred statements.

Another candidate is taking plain talk to the streets, but using his trademark soft-spoken approach to try to win the hearts of black urban voters.

Dr. Ben Carson walked and talked in Harlem, NY, to discuss how illegitimacy and lack of traditional values are leading to the destruction of the black community. He even quoted the late President Lyndon Johnson’s famous quip that “I’ll have those n*****s voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” Yes, he went there. In Harlem, no less.
