Carter was and still is an idiot.
Why don’t you ‘black americans’ shove it.
In my lat teens early 20s when he was president......alll I remember about his presidency is inflation and gas shortages.
A southern white man had such strong support in the black community because he was a Democrat.
For unknown reasons black people vote heavily Democratic.
Carter being a southern white man really has nothing to do with this. Just because he was a Democrat , he got the bulk of the black vote in his elections.
Nothing racist in that sentence, right? So tired of it.
It’s Overtown...not Overton. I had occasion to stroll through there one very early morning in 1981, with a couple of Air Force buddies. Scared the hell out of the only other white person we saw.
Jimmy Carter lost his first bid for a seat in the GA Senate (he won the second time).
He was furious because, he said, the “election was stolen”.
He was a pioneer election denier.
Yep. Beat me to it. I know Carter was a moron, but the other morons out there could only think of post-Vietnam Ann Ford’s ability to put us asleep with his monotone voice.
Carter, failed President, successful Appeaser-in Chief to the Mad Mullahs. One of America’s foremost anti-Semitic spokesmen.
Nice guys finish last.
I remember at the time we referred to him as "Egg McDuffie".
“The verdict ignited a conflagration as angry people in Liberty City and Overton burned buildings, attacked cars and chased down fleeing motorists. The riot left 15 people dead, caused $100 million in property damage, and exacerbated racial tensions across the country.”
Mobs of angry white Democrats hadn’t burned down a black community since the ‘20s ... so guess who was being that “well bless their hearts” kinda stupid to go on a rampage in their own communities, destroying businesses that they and their neighbors depend on for jobs or places to shop?
The median income of Liberty City is less than $20k and less than $15k for Overton ... the riots and destruction of wealth in 1980 certainly contributed to that because riots have long term consequences.
Shoot rioters and looters ... their rage is not worth your future being harmed.
Another dumbass “gimmedat”; living for free sh!t that Democrats pay for from whitey’s tax dollars.........3 generations of welfare families, with very, very, very few ever having held a REAL job in their lives (unless they are employed by some government agency, in a do-nothing capacity).
Cater was one of the worst presidents ever - and lost in a well-deserve landslide.
Anyone here remember gas lines? I was a teen at the time and couldn’t drive the car unless I filled it up - sometimes waiting an hour or more.
I also remember having to set the thermostat “no higher than 68 degrees” during the coldest winter in 100 years (I lived in Colorado at the time).
Reagan ended that.
10 This event in the Carter days resulted in:
20 Less police protection in black areas.
30 Which led to more crime in black areas. Thus the outcry in the 1990's was it's racist to not protect black areas as much as white areas.
40 Which led to more police activity where more of the crimes were: black areas.
50 Which led to the outcry that it's racist to jail more blacks than whites.
50 GOTO 20
Jimmy Carter was a typical Dixiecrat who used anti-black racial campaigning to win white votes right up until his 1970 election. Then he put his finger up to see which way the wind was blowing and switched to being more tolerant of blacks. Any black who voted for Carter on racial grounds was being willfully ignorant.

Jimmy Carter...The best President the Ayatollahs of Iran and Omar Torrijos of Panama ever had!
And the US is still suffering from Carter’s errors!
“Why Jimmy Carter deserved my vote — and that of other Black Americans”
So did you still feel that way after his term was up?
It puzzles me that after Pres. Trump raised the standard of living for many blacks the majority of them (I believe) voted for Biden who has put many of them back in the basement.
