I have always held Jimmy Carter in high esteem. I remember his hard work negotiating peace between Israel & Egypt, his far reaching support of international human rights and his great work with Habitat for Humanity. Today though, I thank him for his brave and heartfelt comments about recent criticisms of President Obama.
This man -- Carter -- knows what it means to live under the constant scrutiny of the American public and to be second guessed at every turn. He knows partisan politics and he knows that a president is seldom popular on the other side of the aisle.
As a Georgia native, he also knows racism. I thank President Carter today for saying that an “overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African American”
Carter continues "that racism inclination still exists. . . . It's an abominable circumstance, and it grieves me and concerns me very deeply.” It concerns me deeply as well. I have clear recollections of the 60’s and I pray daily that this country will never return to the heightened racial tension and violence of those awful days.

So, if Mr. Obama was a conservative, and liberals didn’t like his policies, would that make them racists?
What is an African American?
I thought this must be satire, until I read her credentials at the end of the page. She believes this stuff.
Wow, and that Equal Rights Amendment, he penned all of his dreams upon an Amendment he said America couldn´t survive if it wasn´t passed. It died...and America still continues...
I literally laughed out loud.
A man born in Kenya that becomes POTUS
A friend, who emigrated from South Africa and became a US citizen, says he is one of the few.
Ha! ha! ha! ha1..... Oh sorry, Barbara, I thought this was a parody.
Carter is nothing but an anti-Semite.
“I thought this must be satire...”
Yeah, I kept waiting for the “but he’s crazy now” that never came!!
She would make the perfect Duke professor, no?
Last week, someone smart noted there are no Spanish-Englishmen, no Mexican-Scots, no Canadian-Frenchman. This hypenated nonsense is driven through by one group that sees it’s identity as being separate from being an American, period. And if anyone is preventing them from being full citizens of this country, it’s them.
Si.
The liberals have made self-delusion a fashionable lifestyle.
I think several Ivy League schools offer a degree in it.
Hmm, the author is “concerned about racial tension”,
and supports a whitey hating bigot in the office of presidency to implement policies that ratchet up “racial tension” to a height never before seen in my lifetime.
Racism is job security!
Yep. I think the courses are probably called “women’s studies” or some such.
