September 16, 2009 Jimmy Carter Calls Barack Obama "This Black Boy" (Video)
Jimmy Carter on "this black boy" Barack Obama:
Jammie Wearing Fool has more including the transcript.
And, yet this fool wants to call those who oppose Obama's disastrous policies- "racists." What a creep.
More... The National Institute for Public Policy Research, a black conservative group, released a statement today on the democrat-media complex labeling Obama's opponents as racists. Here is their statement.

“I agree.........that this black boy could grow up to be president.....doesnt look too racist to me.......except they desire to be called African Americans now do they not?”
Don’t know...don’t care...I call ‘em black...
Anyone remember when Fuzzy Zoeller referred to Tiger Woods as a little boy? Remember the firestorm?
Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd, Ex-Klansman
by Michelle Malkin (March 8, 2001)
Ex-Klansman Robert Byrd, the senior senator from West Virginia, casually used the phrase "white nigger" twice on national TV this weekend. Enraged civil rights groups organized a protest campaign against Sen. Byrd and demanded that he undergo sensitivity training ... not.
The ex-Klansman, you see, is a Democrat. Democrats can join hate groups and utter the ugliest racial slurs and get away with it because they are Democrats. They belong to the party of racial tolerance and understanding. They're paragons of virtue, and the rest of us are bigoted rubes.
The ex-Klansman showed his true colors when asked by Fox News Sunday morning talk show host Tony Snow about the state of race relations in America. Sen. Byrd warned: "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
In 1942, 24-year-old Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), whose parades in Matoaka, West Virginia, he had witnessed in his childhood. He was unanimously elected Exalted Cyclops, or leader, of his local chapter.[4]
Byrd, in his autobiography, attributed the beginnings of his political career to this incident, although he lamented that they involved the Klan. According to Byrd, a KKK official told him "You have a talent for leadership, Bob... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd recalls that "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did."[4] He participated in the KKK during World War II, holding the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops. He did not serve in the military during the war, working instead as a welder in a Baltimore, Maryland shipyard, where he helped build warships.[citation needed]
Byrd commented on the 1945 controversy about racially integrating the military. Byrd, when he was 28 years old, wrote to segregationist Senator Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, vowing never to serve in such a military:
"Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.[5]"
He had earlier written "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side".[6][7]

You mean this shit?
“He’s doing quite well, pretty impressive. That little boy is driving well and he’s putting well. He’s doing everything it takes to win. So, you know what you guys do when he gets in here? You pat him on the back and say congratulations and enjoy it and tell him not to serve fried chicken next year. Got it.” Zoeller then smiled, snapped his fingers, and walked away before turning and adding, “or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve.”
Sorry, but it was WAY over the line and Tiger shook it off...he knew Fuzzy was a little crazy...and he is...to be fair, Fuzzy treated everyone the same, but the chicken and collard greens you conveniently left off “change the complexion” of the statement, do they not? Let’s not get in the gutter with these liberal aholes...they’re digging their own graves...
I didn’t sense he was being racist in his remarks either. Just describing Obama as a child.
“bit of a reach”.
...not really. Not when compared to the storm that would erupt if Bush, Palin, Fred Thompson etc had said it.
well now, Jimmah is a living, breathing Plantation owner, isn’t he?
bit of a reach.
“...not really. Not when compared to the storm that would erupt if Bush, Palin, Fred Thompson etc had said it.”
Yeah, REALLY..old rule of thumb in politics...when the other guys are shooting themselves in the foot, let them do it, but don’t try to help them...the gun can swing on you...we don’t need to try to keep pointing it out or trying to gin up something...which this is...because it hurts us...
Even so, do you think this would slide if a conservative said the exact same thing? They would be all over it.
“Even so, do you think this would slide if a conservative said the exact same thing? They would be all over it.”
No doubt..that was kind of my point...but that doesn’t mean we should start overreaching and start looking like them....not in this case anyway...I’m all for fighting fire with fire, but you can’t make this case anymore than Jimmuh tried to make his...it ain’t there...and we come off looking wrong, at a time when there is so much to look right about...
Didn’t VP Joe once say he cleaned up pretty good for a black boy?
He was speaking of him in the present tense wasn’t he?
I don’t think I ever heard the full quote, but I remember the firestorm, and it was certainly inexcusable, but no more so than Carter’s. At least Zoeller thought he was being funny, as well as complimentary. Carter has not sense of humor, but still thought he was being complimentary. Neither should have raised a firestorm, but Carter now accuses others of racism, so deserves the hit.
