The salient part of that interview to me is that Carson, as a doctor, hesitated to send children back to East Baltimore.

There are poor people who live in terrible conditions all over the USA. Inner city, rural, white people, brown people...

Yep, and I am sure Carson would have hesitated to send any child back to substandard conditions anywhere.

BUT:

Carson was in Baltimore, and the brouhaha is about Baltimore. He was not in Wyoming or El Paso, and the controversy is not in West Virginia. Not even a good try at a deflection.

Still not a compelling argument for Trump not being a racist.

It's very difficult to prove a negative. But you know that.

Agree. I never asked him to prove that Trump isn't racist. He was the one that posted a story and implied that it provided strength to the argument that Trump isn't racist.
