Jimmy Carter: Civil Rights Movement Unrealized, Americans Still Racist
By Kathryn Schroeder
Former President Jimmy Carter said in an interview with AARP that the civil rights movement did not fully succeed and that many Americans are still racist.
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, Carter said.
Carter has repeatedly spoken out during President Barack Obamas terms in office about how be believes racism has led to difficulties for the president.
"When a radical fringe element of demonstrators and others begin to attack the president of the United States as an animal or as a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler or when they wave signs in the air that said we should have buried Obama with Kennedy, those kinds of things are beyond the bounds," Carter told students at Emory University in 2009, CNN reported.

Jimmy Carter is still an idiot.
elect a black man as president targets us as all racist.
the guy is a loon
And Jimmy still hates rabbits.
And Jimmah is still a nasty anti semite.
America had gone a long way in respect to race relations. We did start to become colorblind in spite of the dems using race as a tool to cheat on elections and promote wholesale graft under race relation ruse. Then along came nobama and after 6+ years of being peed on while being told it was raining and the black racists being empowered to act with wild abandon, it is indeed hard to not see things for what they actually are.
There is no fool like an old fool
Yep, we are still paying for the inaction of that idiot when it came to Iran. “Oh don’t worry Shah, we will protect you”. I wonder how many American lives that has cost in the past 37 years, probably too many to count, and how many lives it will cost when they get nukes. Isn’t it amazing how 2 of the worst President in US history end up helping radical Islam? And this puke has the gall to still bash the US? What I find disgusting is he’s 90 now, he could kick the bucket at any minute and we will have to watch the dishonor of giving his treasonous ass a state funeral while no doubt every liberal in existence, every lib in the main stream media will constantly praise how great he was.
