That's not the case at all. Ben Carson is a man who is in contact with al Sharpton regularly and claims "they share the same goal". The only reason he's doing well in the polls is because republican voters want to counter signal how "not racist" they are to all of the liberals and the media who constantly accuse republicans of being racist.

Nothing Carson says is profound, he completely lacks experience in anything related to politcs, and he's by far the most boring and low energy candidate on the field right now. Him being black is really the only reasonable explanation of why he's able to poll above 1%
