Jimmy Carter said Monday that presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump had tapped into "inherent racism" to bolster his candidacy.
In an interview with The New York Times, Carter, the 39th president, also said Trump violated "basic human rights" by labeling Mexican and Muslim immigrants as criminals and terrorists.
"When you single out any particular group of people for secondary citizenship status, that's a violation of basic human rights," Carter said.
The 91-year-old Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for promoting human rights across the globe through his work with the Carter Center.
Carter, the oldest living US Democratic president, told The Times that "racially conscious Republicans" hadn't been able to handle an African-American as president, though he said President Barack Obama's election was a hopeful sign in race relations. Carter said Republican animosity toward Obama had "a heavy racial overtone."
Trump, he said, was a stunning success because he "tapped a waiting reservoir there of inherent racism."

He should know, the bigoted, racist old Jew-hater.
Now that he is no longer the WORST PRESIDENT EVER he thinks he is so smart...
Dear Jimmah,
You have developed a sickness called alithinophobia. That is an irrational fear of the truth.
Carter is still alive?
On the plus side, he may actually live to see someone receive an ass-kicking worse than Reagan gave him.
Well Jimmah you’re from Georgia, one of the biggest slave-owner states in the nation. How many slaves did your grandfather and his before him own on their plantations. You see Jimmah knows a lot about racism...
“Jimmy Carter!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Is that bag full of poop still around? He was the first to fire a torpedo into the Constitution of the United States and individual freedoms and responsibilities.
I don’t even want to see what “little Amy” looks like now. I bet that liberalism and hate of America really aged her.
“When you single out any particular group of people for secondary citizenship status, that’s a violation of basic human rights,”
Said the Dhimmi, go away Carter, you worthless old fool.
The continued leftist smear that a desire to maintain The United States of America is inherently racist is not going to go over well.
DIMS are now trotting out Jimmuh Carter?
They are beyond desperate.
Yeah, Jimmy has hated Jews all his life. He hates Reagan to this day, and would likely vandalize his grave : )
Cognitive Dissonance!
This wretched nitwit tapped into a pool of stupidity and venality many years ago and he has been drinking from it ever since. The one positive thing his rotten presidency produced was Ronald Reagan about whom he made similar baseless, trash charges. BTW, he was on the local school board in the 1960s in Plains when they prohibited the building of a new school in a “white” neighborhood because too many black students would attend; who’s the racist, Mr. Carter??
This sort of thinking--the embrace of self-destruction--is what makes it so essential that we back Donald Trump in repudiating the stifling idiocy that is "political correctness."
“DIMS are now trotting out Jimmuh Carter?
They are beyond desperate.”
Cold fact is he is about the best they’ve got.
Its the values, stupid.
This coming from an anti-Semite and Israel hater is rich.
Jimmy Carter just needs to go away.
