Commencement Keynote 2012 – Dr. Carson @ Emerson University [24:39]
He gave a really inspiring speech that is worth every minute. Talking head, no need to watch the screen. Also, he’s funny, so this might not be a good choice for the office where LOLing would get you into trouble.
The background to his visit to Emory contains a really distressing story. Had the political orientation been reversed, the insult Emory delivered would have sent Farrakhan off the rails and produced a week of national news shows and Democrat pols tut-tutting about intolerant Right Wingnuts.
But since the internationally renowned Black guy is politically Conservative, believes in God and isn’t so sure Darwin’s theory is all that, the ever-vigilant, self-proclaimed guardians of Black Dignity did not care.

During the speech, Carson addressed the evolution flap briefly. He gently, but firmly, put his critics in their place. They clearly were not happy. Check out the body language on the two blacks who were prominently placed on the stage behind him.

I so wish that I had time to listen to Dr. Carson’s address, but I can’t now. He sounds inspiring, and I am glad that you said he is funny, too. That should have helped with some of the hostile audience. Sometimes even if you disagree, if someone makes you laugh, it is hard to have animosity towards that person. Just ask my husband, a perpetual comic by necessity. (Just kidding…!)
