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."

I don't agree that our ancestors "came from the trees" (unless you're referring to the trees in Gan `Eden). And I believe humanity would get along much better with each other if all acknowledged the One True G-d.
“Racist” is so overused at this point it should mean nothing to anyone except a few soccer moms, and of course the Fascist Left.
Unless they acknowledge G-d, one can be just as bad as the other. Besides, the globalist elites support all sorts of left wing nationalisms--including some white European (Irish, Scots, Basques, etc.).
Takes one to know one, you nasty old windbag.
No fool like an old fool.

Amy, you need to go to a dentist and get those teeth whitened. They’re disgusting.
I’ve heard that word, ‘racism’ before, regarding Trump. Can someone tell me where do they get that charge with him? I’ve never seen it... where do they get it? Rush was talking about the left today.. which fits in here.. they are not used to being called on their lies... they just say it, knowing it’s not truth and knowing they won’t be called on it.. never have been ... BUT.. since Trump, some of them have not gotten the message yet. I hope Trump doesn’t let carter’s age discourage him from taking the lie on... the media will take carter’s side and go after Trump if he does.. but do it... we’ll stand with you! Carter has no reason to speak.. he’s the worst of the worst... and no brains .. (before obama took that position).
Jmm’a just sTFU already!
Ummm, illegal immigrants are NOT citizens, secondary or otherwise. That is the POINT!
I used to believe Jimmah was at least a fellow Christian. ... Not any more
Says the biggest anti-semite of them all. He makes me ill.
Not racism.
Progressive hate.
No, make that true, deep, and ready to retaliate hate.
And we are going to start upping the ante for your silly little low IQ protesters.
It’s racist not to like seeing overtly racist foreign invaders waving their filthy rag flag in our streets, refusing to learn the language of the nation’s founding documents, trying to impose their defective 3rd world culture, and constantly crowing about the “death of white America” and “making America Mexico again”? F___ off and die, Jimmy. You antisemitic old cretin.
Looks like Gary Busey’s been spending too much time with “Caitlin.”
“In our countrys recent history weve celebrated diversity in our population as if it were a good thing. However, one look at world history will show you that no country with a diverse population of different races, languages, and religion has long survived.”
And that, of course, is the real goal. Only the useful idiots think diversity will strengthen us. The globalist true believers know it will destroy America as they intend and desire.
And they use tribalism to balkanize America; they don’t really believe their own propaganda.
You may not want to, but you’re gonna!
That’s what eatin’ peanuts will do to you! DON’T DO IT!
Cold fact is he is about the best theyve got.
