   Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson on "The   
   Brian Kilmeade Show" Thursday slammed the notion that the United States   
   is fundamentally racist. Carson argued the left uses the race card to   
   "beat people into submission" and stop their opponents from speaking   
   out.   
      
   DR. BEN CARSON: What people need to recognize is that we have changed   
   dramatically in this country. And there are those who wish to use the   
   race issue as a conduit to beat people into submission, to make White   
   people feel guilty. And one of the consequences of that, intentional or   
   not, and I'm not sure. But if you're feeling guilty, you're not likely   
   to be as vocal about some of the things that are going on. So when   
   people start talking about defunding the police, letting dangerous   
   criminals back out to terrorize communities not guarding our borders so   
   that everybody can come in. And if you're feeling really guilty, you're   
   just going to stand in the corner with your head down and hope nobody   
   calls you a racist. That's not good for our country and it's not true   
   either. And then there are those who say that we're a systemically   
   racist country. But if we were systemically racist, why would people be   
   forming caravans trying to get in here? And when they got here,   
   wouldn't they call all their relatives and friends and say, Don't come   
   here, this is a horrible place. That's not what's going on. And I think   
   there are a lot of people who want to fundamentally change this nation   
   who just say to you, don't believe your eyes, don't believe your ears,   
   don't believe your heart. Just listen to us. We'll tell you what you're   
   supposed to think.
