Ben Carson on MLK: He Didn’t Want ‘Cycle of Expectation and Dependency’

Ken McIntyre •   January 20, 2015

Ben Carson argued yesterday that Martin Luther King Jr. never would have envisioned “a cycle of expectation and dependency” on government that he said traps too many African-Americans today.

In an appearance on C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal” on the holiday celebrating the late civil rights leader, Carson urged Americans to “turn their attention to the opportunities and the talents that they have.”

Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, may join the Republican field in the 2016 race for president.
