Ben Steinlawyer, Nixon speechwriter, and erstwhile actor known for his turn as Ferris Buellers economics teacherstopped by Fox News on Sunday with some choice words for the Obama administration.
This president is the most racist president there has ever been in America, he told Fox News.
Most racist? Plenty past presidents could challenge Obama for that title. Here are some strong contenders: you be the judge.

Eisenhower tried to pass the civil rights act of 1957 it was filibustered by the Democrats in the Senate.
You're right this writer knows nothing about history.
After THAT quote LBJ said...”And then those n@@@@@@s will be voting for Democrats for 200 years.”
It’s a pity that a shining exemplar of virtue like Shan Wang is condemned to live in a country like America with such an evil past.
I personally would like to contribute to a fund that will help him relocate.
Comparing pre-Civil War presidents to Obama regarding racism is misleading. It is apples and oranges.
Liberals do this all the time. It is like telling a grandma or grandpa that they grew up in poverty because when they were children they only had radios and not TV’s.
At least the guy who can’t think said something! ping
Wow. I'd heard the quote, but never heard MLK was right behind him when he said it!
Of course Shan Wang neglects to mention that George Washington had his slaves freed after the death of Martha.
Exactly. I will also note the language in the U. S. Constitution or was it the Declaration of Independence, that declares all men equal. My what a bunch of racists to coined that term, or merely repeated it.
The media today including the Boston Globe simply will not list the race of criminals who commit criminal acts.
Not very racist are they...
After all, what does it matter now anyway?
When you’re dead, you’re dead.
Anyone who thinks racism is a one way street is blinded by reality. A case in point is our Attorney General, Eric Holder.
People who owned "chattel" slaves were racists. They believed people of other races (black, Chinese, sometimes Irish) could be owned, but others could not.
"Irish" is a race?
BTW, the existence of black slave owners who owned black slaves tends to torpedo your argument rather effectively.
?????
Way too much to sort out there. By today's standards, owning slaves did make you a racist, and they didn't have the word "racist" back then, so today's standard will have to do.
Otherwise we'll be arguing forever about whether the "nice" slave owners were really "racist" or not. We all have more important things to do with our time.
It's all a pointless discussion anyway. Obviously there were more racist presidents than Obama. The author's snark doesn't really add anything to the discussion.
AFAIK, the Irish, at least in America, were never chattel slaves. Those that were “sold into slavery” here were according to the sellers, criminals transported for committing treason.
They would thus have even been subject to forced labor after the 14th Amendment was passed.
Not saying the laws under which they were punished were just, but they were the laws at the time.
And 0bama exists in today's world so how racist does that make him?
I think Nixon is most anti Semtric US president we ever had with Jimmy Carter closed second
Yeah he was caught on audio tape saying it LOL!
There have been more white slaves throughout history than black ones. I'm sure American slaveholders would have accepted any race. Africans just happened to be fashionable at that point in history.
Obama is the most unrepresenting President ever, from illegals, to his executive orders etc...
he has the most spite of all President and that includes his feelings of being unrepresented by white people, proving his utter retarded infantile form of racism.
