Former President Jimmy Carter denounced white feelings of superiority as "racist residue" during an interview with the American Association of Retired Persons.(AARP).
"Whites who use statistics indicating that Blacks are disproportionately involved in crime or on welfare are making judgments that neglect to consider valid cultural differences," the former President said. "The notion that earning a living is more respectable than subsisting on government benefits is pure prejudice. Logically, accepting welfare rather than submitting to wage-slavery makes perfect sense. Failure to credit Blacks who have made this logical decision reflects poorly on whites."
"As for the higher Black participation in crime, well, what could be more entrepreneurial than leading a gang that undertakes the dangerous trade of smuggling and distributing drugs?" Carter asked. "These enterprising young Blacks must accomplish these tasks without any help from the civil authorities. To the contrary, they are harassed on a regular basis. They have no recourse to the court system to enforce contractual obligations and are left to devise their own enforcement mechanisms."
"If it weren't for incipient racism in this country, we'd be seeing these young men on the covers of Forbes or Time Magazine instead of on wanted posters at the Post Office," Carter complained. "At least we can be thankful that some of our nation's leaders like Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and President Obama are making an effort to turn things around."

Hogwash. No one thinks Jimmah is superior.
It seems that Billy's brother Jimmy suffers form delusions of grandeur do jimmy thinks he is superior. He must suffer form white guilt also.
Though this is supposed to be semi-satire, it rings true for the ubiquitous and repugnant Jimmuh.
I can't wait for the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to opine about racial oppression for decades and decades after he's a private citizen.
>> Logically, accepting welfare rather than submitting to wage-slavery makes perfect sense.
I know this is satire, but that statement is the truth in the ‘hood.
But the joke is on them. Once they get their socialist workers’ utopia, we will all become wage-slaves. But, we have skills and all they have is a strong back. Welcome back to the plantation!
Got lucky this time. Caught the “semi-satire” tag just milliseconds before my head exploded. PTL.
Doesn’t satire have to have an element of un-reality in it. I have seen and read all the arguments used in this article as sane, logical arguments...
That’s why he calls it SEMI-SATIRE.
You are correct, of course...
I promise to start feeling inferior to cultures that didn’t invent things like refridgeration, medicine, airplanes, space travel, automobiles, cell phones, regular phones, computers, or pretty much any modern technology of any kind
