This is the New (old) mantra for the Liberal Democratic party…. “Racism, racism…. This is so sad and pathetic, but predictable.
Again, Over and Over again the Race card being played by completely ignorant people. The only ones to bring up the race card are the democrats, and what is more PATHETIC! is they actually think it works. That alone sends alarm bells off! How can anyone really be that stupid! and be in any place of any kind of authority.
Carter… WOW! he was a President (scary), and we have the same mentallity running this nation now.
The democrat party has completely gone mental. We really need to vote them out of ANY elected office position at any level of government. To have carter say this and then to NOT have the president respond or any other elected official… to respond that this is Not their view or distance themseleves from these race players, shows that they TOO think the same way. Time and time again this administration has had Ample time and Ample opportunities to speak up, and they have remained silent. To cause more division?
Pathetic.
This coming from the second worse president ever. He needs to go s u c k on some peanuts.
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO CARTER! What ever Carter says we should do the exact opposite!
Carter was the worst President in modern history, look up “stagflation” and you will find a picture of Jimmy. Now that position is being challanged by Obozo. Now Mr. Peanut needs to do America a huge favor and shut up and die!
America has become a joke nation led by a joke president and a joke congress and soon the joke will be on you as you are taxed into oblivion. (to the tune of ‘Send in the Clowns’)

god I’m sooooo tired beyond belief of calling us racist…it’s just sickening…And then Brian Williams with his serious face on as if to say “this is a shame”. When will it stop….sucks that I gotta hear this racism crap for 3 and 1 half more years….what in the world will the country look like by than with the left injecting racism every time you turn around. Why does the liberal media insist on tearing down this country…this time through racism.
Mr. Carter…You are not thinking clearly to make such an accusation…
Unfortunately when we make generalizations about “other people” we tend to infer our own feelings experience and thoughts since we really don’t have a clue as to what “those people” really think…….what else could make more sense to the human brain…
You sir should keep your pie hole shut…You did a horrible job as President…
What is amazing is how confident you feel to speak about politics when YOU did such a poor job of it yourself.
Obama has taken some hugely unpopular steps to what many of us feel is socialism…It doesn’t matter if he is green… The man hasn’t a clue as to what it means to be an american…
Harvard sissy without a birth certificate….A fine upstanding community organizer…
Calling a black entertainer a jack ass…Now that’s presidential…
Watch out MTV the president is watching…
He should have the government control award shows to I think what do you think Jimmy…
Dumb hillbilly.

These people seem to forget that Obama is just as much white as he is black. This lie about it being about race is ridiculous……….it’a about his policies and the policies of this administration that are upsetting people and I could care less about the color of anyone’s skin!I’m tired of the race card being played every time someone has a disagreement with what the government is doing.
Are we POST-RACIAL yet? http://www.AMREN.com
Well naturally he would being a proven leftist and well known as an idiot. What ever happened to that giant rabbit that attacked his boat, anyway. Right down the party line. If you don’t have an argument or facts, call them a racist.
Jimmy Carter…. senile old race baiting fart.
Utter nonsense. Obama’s POLICIES are so terrible and worthy or ridicule. Carter’s opinion is merely projection of his own hidden issues, blinding him to the truth. The rest of the country has their eyes open.
This is an outrage. How per tell did he get elected then if anglo’s are racist cowards? This is getting sick.
Why would anyone be surprised at this. No democrat can imagine someone disagreeing with Obama for any reason other than racism and that betrays their own racism.
To Jimmy Carter and Brian Williams at NBC: White Supremist groups, the New Black Panther Party, La Raza, and other racist hate groups, are where racism exists in America today.
Your gimmick of calling any citizen that disagrees with President Obama, a racist, rings hollow…hollow…hollow…in a chamber void of common sense.
The 9/12 Tea Party message has been specific, when protesting particular policies and ideas of President Obama, and liberal/progressive agendas in Congress.
Many of these people might have voted a black Colin Powell into the Presidency, back when had more conservative policies. Is that racist?
Liberals think that most conservatives are just a bunch of racist, white folk, that will only vote a black man into power if that black man doesn’t get too uppity, and “stays in his place”.
Michael Steele is the black, “take-charge” leader of the Republican Party, and I don’t know one single white person who isn’t thrilled with his passion for conservatism, that works for the people. I don’t know any people involved in hate groups, but I’m sure you could find some of them that don’t like him.
Calling all liberals and progressives: White folk would love to have a black president that is passionate about strong, conservative ideals, that work for Americans of ALL races. It’s not about the color of the skin, it’s about the liberal/progressive policies and agendas period.
How do the liberals and progressives help minority people of color by constantly telling them that they need special privileges, and quotas, and handouts, to get ahead in America. Conservatives believe that these people are hard working people that can COMPETE with the best of Americans, and succeed. I don’t have a problem with someone of any color, winning me out of a job, if they compete fairly, without special privilege status and quotas.
Conservatives want to end racism by calling on all Americans to stop blaming the current, and future generations for our ugly past of racism and slavery. We should acknowledge it and study the history of it in all of it’s horrors, but we should move on and stop blaming the children of tomorrow for the sins of our past. There is no such thing as white privilege anymore. There used to be, but not anymore.
Conservatives believe that we need to stop using the terms like Irish-American, African-American, and Hispanic-American. We need to call ourselves only Americans to have unity. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging, and taking pride in your cultural heritage, but when your cultural heritage comes before your Country, then their is no true allegiance to your Country, and unity that binds us together as a nation.
Exactly. He wasn’t elected by dimocrats alone.
The only racist in this story is ex-president Little Jimmie Carter. Isn’t he dead ,yet? Or, does he just smell dead? Carter was the worst president of the 20th century, no question about that, a mohammedan sychophant, Carter lies through his teeth everytime he opens his rubbery lips. A truly disgusting sub-human, Carter needs to shut the **** up!
Carter is an absolute idiot. His presidency was the second worst in American history only topped by Obama’s.
We don’t even know if Lord Obama is qualified to be president. The idiot refuses to show his documents. Carter is compleely wrong – fubar – just more extreme-left noise.

A truly disgusting sub-human, Carter needs to shut the **** up! No one cared about Obama’s color except other black Americans. BTW, black Americans make up about 9% of the total population so just who did elect Obama? Color didn’t and doesn’t make any difference; it’s the communist policies that Barry expouses, B. Hussein Obama is wrecking the country. Give us a Thomas Sowell for a president and watch the country soar, but with Obama it’s all depression and facism. Where’s the birth certificate” FO.
What ever happened to that giant rabbit that tried to climb into Jimmah’s boat and eat him?
We didn’t like you Mr. Carter. Why? Because we were racist? Maybe because you sucked as well as the current President. I guess ALL those people that hated Bush were racist to? Get a freaking life.
This is the real Jackass
The title is very misleading.
OBAMA WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ELECTED HEAD BIMBO OF THE UNITED STATES IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE IGNORANT WHITE MAN AND WOMAN.
“There is an inherent feeling in this country that you never should have been elected president and that you should crawl back under that rock you came from and watch peanuts grow!”
There is an inherent feeling among the rest of us that peanut farmers from Georgia should shut the f*ck up!
Carter always displayed a fear of leadership and courage and a reliance on race baiting during his disgusting one term as Eunuch in Chief.
Race baiting scumbag spewing the Democrat talking points.
I was a school kid when this sleazy retard was president and have never so embarrased at having this buffoon as Coward in Chief.
Until now.
We used to like Carter, but he’s been really turning off us and many others in recent times.
“There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president.â€
YEAH, DAMNED STRAIGHT! WE DID NOT FEEL THIS WAY *BEFORE* THE ACORNER-IN-CHIEF TOOK OFFICE, BUT WE SURE AS HELL FEEL THIS WAY NOW! (AND IT IS NOT JUST “ANY” SO-CALLED “AFRICAN-AMERICAN,” BUT THIS PARTICULAR GUY!)
WONDER WHY????

WONDER WHY????
Carter loves to shock and awe for his bits of fame here and there.
Just like the Acorn brothers who use blacks to do all of their dirty work for them, Carter uses blacks for his base of fame. He’s an old f@rt who uses black people’s emotions to stir up hate for all whites……except for him. A lot of whites try this game. It makes me want to puke
Really Jimmy? This ignorance does not deserve a comment.
I think its way past time to commit this insane old man to an asylum for mentally ill freaks! He was NUTS when he lived in the White House, he is ten times as nuts now! Why do the media give this obviously insane man ANY attention at all? His legacy is almost as pathetic as 0bamas!
Oh Jimmy, put your sweater on and go sit by the fire—but don’t chat, no one wants to hear you! You didn’t say anything that made sense then and it sounds like things haven’t changed much in your old age!! You’re talking “stupidly” if you think the race stuff is going to fly— it’s hog wash and you know it!!
I remember being a young school kid and watching the Iran hostage crisis unfold. Carter was completely spineless. He sent in a rescue operation with poor intel and bad weather. It amazes me that he tosses out the “race card” when he was the worst CIC in recent memory. I am with most here that think he should keep his peanut hole shut.
Is Rep. Joe Wilson’s outburst ‘Based on Racism’?
http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=6146
.
Some of is,Some of is not.
Just because Obama got elected that don’t mean racism disappeared in this country.
A majority of the people who post here are racist.
Obama is a this and that, the birther nonsense.When you go as far as to spew vitriol about his wife and kids.That’s racism.
Btw Obama don’t own ACORN
There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an anti-semitic, treasonous, moral relativist should never have been president.
He had to say this to take the attention off the fact the Osama Bin Laden recommended that Americans read one of his books.
“Racism”…. BLAH….BLAH….BLAH….Aren’t we all getting tired of the same old tune. The “Progressives” yelling the race card is suppose to end all debate. It is their last resort as they know full well that they are in trouble. Taxpayers are waking up to all the corruption of this administration (ACORN, UNIONS, CZARS, CAP/TRADE, OBAMACARE)…..2010 & 2012 can’t come fast enough….
AND, when blacks and liberals were spewing vitriol about Palin’s kids that was also racism. The cart goes both ways. Btw, Obama doesn’t own ACORN, but he’s their Leader. You only have to listen to his words to know that!
Carter is a spineless worm.
What I find so comical is the fact larse, wutwutwut and the rest of the alts run and hide when there are battles they know they can’t win. Rather new alts spring up on the boards, as if their old ones even had a shred of credibility left to them anyway. lol So they try their little hit and miss one liners, the weak trolls that they are and then wait for an opportunity to come back when it fits the DNC talking points. lol Inbred, spoon-fed, brain dead clowns. You are a mirror image of why the chicken shyt dems will never get back into power after the 2010 elections.
One old failed president commenting about another failed pres. So Jimmy finally left Cuba. He likes hanging with leftist groups who hate us. Hey Jimmy go pound some nails. MARXIS=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same Ask the Failed pres. Jimmy Carter.
Die already! I have been waiting for you.
No you are wrong Jimmy, we are raciest against inept presidents in office like yourself. I would never invite you in my house.
I forgot to mention. We have a pit reserved for you – next to Ted Kennedy.
Yet one more thing to cement Carter’s legacy as the biggest idiot to have ever held the presidency in this nation.
Rather than letting this useful idiot misdirect the public’s attention away from healthcare, to race baiting, found an interesting article on healthcare this morning. Which there are probably more articles out there or coming out soon, the reason why the dems are pushing this racism card as hard as they are already so keep your eyes peeled. Here’s an interesting one…

Top paragraph of the article…
45% Of Doctors Would Consider Quitting If Congress Passes Health Care Overhaul
By TERRY JONES
News Analysis by IBD | Posted Tuesday, September 15, 2009 4:30 PM PT
Two of every three practicing physicians oppose the medical overhaul plan under consideration in Washington, and hundreds of thousands would think about shutting down their practices or retiring early if it were adopted, a new IBD/TIPP Poll has found.
Racism, racism all, I ever here that the problem .Jimmie Carter is a reckless and as usual dont know his facts, Carter’s legacy as the biggest idiot to have ever held the presidency in this nation untill now Obama might take it from him .
Thanks former President for painting the country you so proudly lead as all racist morons. You, Sir, should be ashamed of yourself. You would rather the whole country be looked at as racist than your guy lose the health care debate???? This is truly a sad, sad day for American politics.
I’ve noticed that the Right Wing can neither READ nor HEAR!
The President clearly said an “overwhelming PORTION” emphasis added.
No where did anyone say ALL opposition is racist, people just think a lot of opposition is racist.
AND THAT IS A FACT!
With each and every vote cast AGAINST a democrat or fiscally irresponsible republican in the next election the voter should reaffirm the reason by simply saying as the make the X, RACISM…X, RACISM…X, RACISM…X, Im a RACIST etc.. It is apparent to everyone everywhere that there can be NO OTHER REASON for any action, thought, or statement. Do you need to cough? its because you are RACIST. Do you need to eat? The underlying cause is RACISM. Diagnosed with CANCER?..well of course because you are a RACIST. There can be no motivation, inclination or imagination that is not at the very least caused by RECIDIVE yet BLATANT racisim. I think that clown should go back to building houses for habitat for humanity, it is the only worthwhile thing I can think he ever did..(I shouldnt have said it…my racism is manifesting itself)
He should be ashamed of himself for calling anyone that disagrees with Obama a racist. I thought he was smarter than to make a generalization like that. I have lost all respect for him.
Republicans are the STOOPIDEST people on earth. He did not say anyone who disagrees. HE SAID AN OVERWHELMING PORTION…..
I hope the sane people in the world can tell the difference between “overwhelming portion” and anyone who disagrees.
This man has just called me a racist. I too screamed you lied from my own sofa. It was not because I am racist. Obama was lying. Add up the lies. He lies. I don’t care if he was plaid in skin color.
If Obama was a decent leader he would stand up and tell people to stop the race card throwing now.
Why not just call any woman, black or white, who disagrees with Obama a whore too?
Keep it up. Keep calling people who disagree racist. It shows how small minded you are.
God please forgive me as I voted for this devil. Racist doesn’t concern white people anymore as it’s the blacks that are the true racist. Check out the school video from Illinois Mr. Carter and then tell me some more about racism. Go join Teddy – - – - today.
Bonds – what evidence do you have that an “overwhelming portion” of the people that disagree with him are racist? Just because your imagination says so?
When someone lashes out with this kind of comment, they are just looking to kill the debate with demonizing false accusations. Liberals cannot debate what they are lying about….”I did not inhale, I did not have sexual relations with that woman, I did not kill Mary Jo Kopechne, there are no death panels, we won’t spend a dime on healthcare, Turbo Tax made the error, I forgot about the caribbean villa income, It is not my love child, I did not sleep with a male prostitute, I’ve lusted in my heart, I am not a registered lobbyist”…DON’T FALTER AMERICA. YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG. This is all very dirty Chicago Style Politics. Thanks Oprah!
Does ANYONE really pay any attention to what MR. Carter says or does? I DON’T THINK SO!!
At the Unions’ National Job Conference in 1978 even George Meany, then president of the
AFL-CIO, sarcasticly referred to him as “the peanut farmer” when he sent Walter Mondale
to speak in his place.
Jimmy Carter was an embarrassment as President… He is a scandal as a citizen… He is a poster child for our limitless tolerance for free speech!
Who cares what he said, Bond. Do you not realize that he smeared an entire nation merely by suggesting that an Overwhelming portion are racist. I am opposed to this administrations policies and I am greatly offended by Mr Carter’s words. For a former President of the United States to indict any portion of the country he once lead in this demeaning way WITHOUT proof is deplorable.
Seriously, where is the ACLU for people like me??
I am repulsed by Carter’s words and feel pain and anguish that a President would dare indict my fellow Americans like this.
Carter didn’t have much to say when he was president. He knew there was a game in town, but no one would invite him. He’s spent the last two decades trying to fabricate his legacy. Frankly…who cares WHAT Carter has to say.
Brother Bonds,
I hopes you doesn’t thinks this is racist of me, but I wants to congratulates you on your new All Natural Homemade Lemonade venture.

There is an obvious organized campaign by the Administration-friendlies to try to minimize the conservative by trying to create an image of racist radicals. This strategy will fail. So many “whites” found Obama presidential campaign so refreshing since it seemed to have found a way to “rise above” all of this. This strategy is a regressive tactic. I was in DC on 9/12. And I know that 95% of the 500,000 signs had geared towards the unprecedented deficit spending and the aggressive intrusion into our lives by the federal government. I know the truth. And I know we will prevail. I will now cower in a corner because of these false accusations.
You’re right, there are no racist in the opposition. There is actually NO PORTION who hate Obama because of his race.
And if there were any of these persons we should definately ignore it. There is no reason to address race in this country because we don’t have races. There aren’t studies divided by race, there aren’t laws which address race, there aren’t even t.v. shows which talk about race so why is anyone else talking about it.
Yes, the ENTIRE country is maligned by President Carter talking about race.
Osama Bin Laden in his latest speech to the White House and the American People said that Jimmy Carter’s Book “Palistine: Peace Not Apartheid” Was the Best Book ever written. He says that everyone should read that book. Pretty Bad when you have the world’s top Terrorist promoting your book.
I agree Jimmy. I wrote about white issues like this in my Thesis. Have you read it?
typo correction….
I meant to say “I will NOT cower in a corner because of these false racist accusations.”
I do not know why the media persists in asking people, who are NOT involved in the conservative movement, what the conservative movement is about. Do your homework journalists!! If you want to know what the conservative movement is about….. ask a conservative!!! Hello.
*TREASONOUS CONGRESS FORCES HUMILIATION ON JOE WILSON*
A Natural Born American should not apologize to a Kenyan Usurper without Birth Certificate or US ID Documents.
IMPEACH THE KENYAN!!!IS THE CRY OF THE LAND HEARD FROM COAST TO COAST!
A Revolution is Brewing as we speak!
Here’s proof Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya:
***YOU LIE**IT WASN’T WILSON, IT WAS THE CRY OF THE LAND AGAINST THE USURPER!**
Here is the proof of his birth in Kenya:
http://freedomtalk.lefora.com/2009/09/07/here-is-the-original-obamas-kenyan-birth-certifica/page1/
I’m glad there is always someone like Geogre K to take all the self-righteous, self-holy, soap box preachers arguments and throw them right out of the window.
Thank you Geoge K for making President Carters point.
It’s all about political ideology.<period
I would've voted for Powell or Condi Rice. (won't vote for Powell anymore)
An overwhelming portion of the liberal jackass party is made up of race baiting plantation owners and willing slaves.
Dave, Tn, President Carter appreciates you for making his point.
It’s the fear of socialist liars like Comrade Chairman Obama.
Stop playing the race card Jimmy.
All you are doing is drawing the Joker.
Bonds – and what is the point? That one comment represents the entire crowd? You sound worse than Carter.
Justine, did you hear President Carter say “the entire crowd”?
No. So what is your point? Wait, I know – its that you like playing the victim.
Yeah Jimmy. If you don’t agree with the Prez, you’re a racist.Hah! Listen you Georgia, backwoods cracker. You love this nutzo in Washington because he thinks just like you did when you unfortunately were elected. You were a liar too. You just smiled when you lied instead of checking the teleprompter to see what to say next. I’m a Southern boy too and I’m ashamed of you AND your silly a$$ family. Just shut up and get out of site. Real Patriots will handle this! Pass me a Billy beer!
This is a NON-ISSUE, because this president is as worthless now as he was when he was in office. Both Carter and Obama will go down as the worst two presidents in the history of this country.
What a rediculous comment from the man that gave us 20% inflation with his Marxist policies.
I wouldn’t care what color a president was if he had the philosophy of Ron Paul.
=================================
Why is it Democrats can’t grow-up past the color of skin and live with other by the content of their character. The kind of racism and reverse racism being spewed by liberals and Democrats sets back the progress of the civil rights movement.
=================================
What Carter said was”I think an overwhelming portion of the INTENSELY DENMONSTATED animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man.
He did not say that all opposition to President Obama was racist.
Since Mr Obama took office, the rate of threats against the president has increased 400 per cent from the 3,000 a year or so under President George W. Bush, according to Ronald Kessler, author of In the President’s Secret Service.
As far as the race card being played,the far right play that card also.
Take Glen Beck saying Obama hated white people and Health Care reform was really reparations for slavery.
Two thirds of Republicans believe in the Birther movement and that includes some members of congress.
A lot of this has to do with the far right taking over the Republican Party due to the absence of a clear leader.You don’t have Republicans now like William Buckley who went after the Birchers and other extreme elements in the party.
Why can’t He just stay-over in The ME with His Palistinian head-lopping buddies?
Racism has lost all meaning by the overuse of the word. Gotta find a new word tools.
Barry Bonds – whats with the identity theft? Hmmm, using terms like “self-righteous” – it seems clear that the deceit and deception live on in your progressive (militant) world. Read a real book – get a proper education. I would recommend “Agruing with Idiots” – ’cause your going to lose every time.
While I agree that women been victimized in many religions and societies, I don’t feel like a victim. This is the greatest country in the world for women. I am very thankful to have been born here. While I feel it is okay to point out discrimination against women, I don’t feel that all men are responsible for the acts of a few. Maybe that is what higher education does for a person. It gets them to stop generalizing. Martin Luther King understood the importance of that. Jimmy Carter doesn’t seem to understand it. Carter must like to put things into little groups. It is easier to think that way. I would expect that kind of thinking in a grade school student, not from someone that has had as much schooling as he has.
I actually visited the Jimmie Carter Museum in Atlanta a few years ago…think it’s too late to get my money back?
Oh god…am I being racist? No, wait a minute, Jimmie Carter is a white man…I think.
Shoot!
Dayum Right said it all, here on the first post.
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m beginning to think we need to go back to good old TAR AND FEATHERS for these *!%#@ holes!
We need to have another march and ride them out on rails, including retired failures like this @ss that will not shut up with this type of crap!
The Ignorant, has given world class advice. I don’t know what it has to do with the argument at hand but hey lets run with it.
You are absolutely correct, I am very militant and it is probably due to my military training during my Marine years. God Bless Paris Island.
Which “real book” would you suggest besides the trash that Glenn Beck has written? Also, what is a “proper education”?
Again, I don’t know what any of this has to do with President Carters statement regarding an “overwhelming portion” of the opposition being racist but hey what do I know.
Jimmy Carter has spoken Truth, in his perennially calm, civil manner. Thank you Mr. Carter.
The trolls flocking to this page seem like they’re frustrated that they don’t have any town hall meeting to go to, to scream while other people are speaking and hurl verbal feces.
Coming here and posting is cheaper for the trolls than medication and less likley to get them in trouble than going out and bashing-in people’s mail boxes.
President Carter is right, and I think it is wonderful he spoke what is on everyones mind. Being from Georgia, he knows what racism is.
I’ve lived in the Deep South my entire life. Of course it’s about race. And anyone who says it’s not is either one himself and can’t face the facts, or living in La La Land.
Did you get that last post from me white house?
I understand you are now web crawling and storing anti obama statements.
Evidence for the trials of people opposing the “state” maybe?
Should I start to worry about midnight knocks on the door?
It’s your growing control and leftward plunge that worries me! Not the color of the nazis skin!
I’m am finally happy that someone of Jimmy Carter’s statue has come out and called this thing out for what it is RACISM. While someone wrote that “not all protests are racist” the ones we’ve seen over the last few months are. It’s one thing to disagree and it’s totally another thing altogether to hate. The tone of these protests have been bitter; beyond disagreement and truly scary. What does carrying guns have to do with ones objection to a particular policy? If anyone has seen some of the posters they need little or no evidence that this is truly the venom of racism coming to a head. I totally agree with Pres. Carter. Let’s call a spade a spade. Policy disagreement is one thing; Hatred is another and these people hate the fact that Barack Obama is president of the united states. If it looks like a duck; quacks like a duck and walks like a duck it is.
Rep. Wilson’s outburst broke Congressional decorum with his lake of self control, his can criticize the president any where else, talk shows, op-eds, anywhere, but not where he did it and how he did it. With that said Joe Wilson made a political calculation to play to the base that is now controlling the GOP, feeding there racism.
I’m tired of the rational, because President Obama was elected in the 1st place, this country is some how past racism. I’ve known people for 30 years, who I wouldn’t have deemed racist or extreme use the N word for the 1st time. One person I’ve known for decades was devastated by Obama’s election, convinced of a black take over.
Recently after this person and his wife got stuck in an intersection, he had to back up almost hitting a black woman crossing the street with her 2 children, she whacked the car to avoid getting run over. He claims she lost control, whacking the car again, denting it, which was easily repaired, she paid for the damage. Where this gets to be more than a simple traffic dispute is when he describes the woman as a n i # @ r, a term I’ve NEVER head him use before Obama was elected. What’s more disturbing is when he described the altercation to me, the President’s name come up, along with the N word and how easily it rolls of his tongue.
Jimmy Carter’s right.
It takes one to know one!
President Carter is one of the most intelligent men in this country. He is a southern gentleman who knows what he is talking about. If his comments bother some people, then he has hit the mark big time! He is a thousand percent correct!!!
The reaction from the right on this thread is pretty telling. Go ahead and insist that NONE of this is about r@ce. I cannot remember any Democratic president being vilified in the ways that this one is. Not even Clinton, despite the list of his alleged victims that was passed around during the impeachment era.
People didn’t carry loaded g*ns to his speeches.
People didn’t accuse him of being a “for3igner,” which is how people of color have been classically described by r@cists.
People didn’t accuse him of being a M*slim, another code word for “different.”
People didn’t force schools to not allow him to speak to children.
People didn’t call his wife and child monkeys.
Elected officials across the country didn’t email watermelon photographs around to colleagues.
