..."we should elect a black guy for president, again"

I posted this picture to his post and said "wrong black guy".

Now he deleted the original post. That's like major LOL.

Everyone who grew up in the 90's or 00's would suddenly become much more interested in politics.

Wow, so conservatives are actually worried about this on some level, so they're going for the long game discredit on Neil? Hah!

Before Neil deGrasse Tyson said anything mean on primetime network television about unrestricted carbon usage, conservatives didn't really have comment on him. But now that he has, he's now an enemy of conservatism. So expect to keep reading conservative stories about how awful Dr. Tyson is from now until... I guess forever?

If you've never heard of Dr. Ben Carson, it's probably because you're not an American conservative. To quote Wiki ,

On October 11, 2013, Carson spoke at the conservative Values Voters Summit in Washington, D.C., where he called the Affordable Care Act (ACA) "the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery." In his speech, Carson claimed that the entire push for the legislation originated with Vladimir Lenin and quoted Lenin as saying that "socialized medicine is the keystone to the establishment of a socialist state." Lenin did not actually say this, although the purported quote appears on a number of conservative websites. After being criticized for his comments, Carson wrote a Washington Times column on October 15 denying that he was "equating Obamacare with slavery" and criticizing the "PC police" for attempting "to discredit and ... silence" him. Carson also acknowledged that there was controversy over whether Lenin used the "exact words" quoted and said that "the larger point is that [Lenin] and his followers certainly subscribed to the philosophy symbolized by these words."

So... yeah. He's a guy who has said mean (and, honestly, extremely hyperbolic) things about a Democratic piece of legislation, so Republicans are trying to talk him into running for President. Because that's the state of the Republican Party right now.

He is a pretty strange guy, one side of him is a brilliant neurosurgeon who used science to help people, the other side of him is a tea party imbecile, creationist and Fox News contributor who seems into the presidential bone, that republicans threw him.
