Former President Jimmy Carter told AARP Inc. during a recent interview that many Americans hold “feelings of superiority” toward minorities.
Mr. Carter spoke on a range of subjects with the magazine, including campaign spending and lobbyists, but he made a point to say that the U.S. still is lacking in terms of safeguarding civil rights.
“The recent publicity about mistreatment of black people in the judicial and police realm has been a reminder that the dreams of the civil rights movement have not been realized. […] Many Americans still have racist tendencies or feelings of superiority to people of color,” Mr. Carter told AARP, The Hill reported Thursday.
The former president added that the politics of the 1970s have changed in such a way that he would not get the level Republican support he enjoyed as the 39th president.
“There was harmony among congressmen when I was there, and I got just as much support from Republicans as I did from Democrats. I can’t imagine myself as a successful candidate today,” Mr. Carter said, The Hill reported.

Seems these libs like to use the word 'cling'.
As an employed, law-abiding person, I definitely feel superior to rioting thugs and criminals (of any color.)
Remember what a big production Carter made of carrying his own bags at him when he would fly into airports..?
Years later it turned out that in every instance he was carrying them only when they were cameras around and when there were no longer cameras he would immediately hand them heavy to the Secret Service.
This routine was so regular that agents would walk over to take the bags when they saw no more cameras.
Carter is a total phony.
Just think, we will get to hear words of wisdom from 0bama for the next 30+ years.
I know I certainly don't.
This from the POS who tried to kill a starving puppy with a bow saw.
F him.
Dear Jimmy,
Speak for yourself.
Jimmuh is still smarting from that ass-kicking in 1980....And the only reasons he ever got elected were (1) hangover from Watergate and (2)Gerald Ford was a terrible candidate.

Still nuts after all these years.
However, I feel nothing but disgust for people whose lives are centered on group identity. "White Pride" is so gross that even liberals recognize how sick it is. Unfortunately, today's democrats are hypocrites who don't see that "Black Pride" and "Gay Pride" are just as sick.
Speaking of ‘clinging’ to a felling of superiority, Jimmy Cater you sanctimonious twit... here you are, a complete failure & embarrassment, still lecturing the peons after all these hers.
... years
Tell us more about the Jews, Jimmy.
And then they turn around and vote democrat in hopes of keeping those minorities on the plantation.
Speak for yerself, ya smarmy bastard ...
“Just think, we will get to hear words of wisdom from 0bama for the next 30+ years.”
That has always been my fear - he will travel the world on taxpayers’ dime and talk about how evil this country was and how he tried so much to help us and the world but the American Constitution is so bad and American people are no good(in spite of electing him 2X to be POTUS).
The Clinton Cash Foundation will seem like a lemonade stand when the Obama Islamic Foundation is rolling.
