Comedian Jordan Peele has cleverly channeled this week’s real-life Ben Carson controversy with his box office smash hit Get Out film.
Peele went to Twitter Monday (March 6) and made an epic Get Out reference in light of Carson comparing slaves to immigrants.
Yesterday, Hollywood actor Samuel L. Jackson also ripped Carson.
OK!! Ben Carson….I can't! Immigrants ? In the bottom of SLAVE SHIPS??!! MUTHAFUKKA PLEASE!!!#dickheadedtom

This week, Carson sparked controversy with a shocking slave/immigrant comparison.
In an introductory speech to staff at the US Department of Housing and Urban Development after he was confirmed by the Senate last week, Mr Carson shared anecdotes from his past career as a neurosurgeon and praised immigrants who worked long hours to build a better life for their children. “There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less,” said Mr Carson, who is African-American.
