From NBC's Mark Murray
In an interview with NBC's Brian Williams, former Democratic President
Jimmy Carter attributed much of the conservative opposition that
President Obama is receiving to the issue of race.

"I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity
toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black
man," Carter said. "I live in the South, and I've seen the South come a
long way, and I've seen the rest of the country that share the South's
attitude toward minority groups at that time, particularly African
Americans."

Carter continued, "And that racism inclination still exists. And I think
it's bubbled up to the surface because of the belief among many white
people, not just in the South but around the country, that
African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country. It's an
abominable circumstance, and it grieves me and concerns me very deeply."

hatred of obama, along with the idea that he's some alien communist
sent to destroy america is so unbelieveable that no rational person
would propose it. it must be based on race

Carter Cites 'Racism Inclination' in Animosity Toward Obama

By Garance Franke-Ruta
Former president Jimmy Carter told NBC's Brian Williams in an interview
Tuesday that he believes race is at the core of much of the opposition
to President Obama.

"I think 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 said. "I live in the South, and
I've seen the South come a long way, and I've seen the rest of the
country that shared the South's attitude toward minority groups at that
time, particularly African Americans"

Continued Carter, who is famously from Georgia: "And that racism
inclination still exists. And I think it's bubbled up to the surface
because of the belief among many white people, not just in the South but
around the country, that African-Americans are not qualified to lead
this great country. It's an abominable circumstance, and it grieves me
and concerns me very deeply."

Carter made the remarks in Atlanta. He was interviewed in connection
with his 85th birthday; the network plans to air more from the interview
later.

The 39th president also predicted that Obama will be able to "triumph
over the racist attitude that is the basis for the negative environment
that we see so vividly demonstrated in public affairs in recent days."

Poor old Carter is an old man, and hasn't come along with the rest of
the country. He hasn't gotten over the rabbit attack? ~snerk~ Then
can you say "stagflation"?

I definitely think a lot of it is racism. Just look at the signs displayed
in the rally in DC... I certainly acknowledge that Bush got treated to signs
comparing him to Hitler, but I don't believe any of them made reference to
his race.

I also think that a lot of it is more of a fear-based reaction than out and
out racism... white good/black bad. Obama is an unknown to lots and lots of
people.. unknown in the sense that some have never had a black man or women
be in charge of directly affecting their lives, and they're afraid.

The really disturbing part is the promoting of these feelings of fear and
uncertainty by "news services" such as Fox and Dick Army's Freedomworks.
Both of these groups know better. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Are the black tea baggers racist too? I saw plenty of them in the
pictures from DC.


So, what you're saying is that because someone is black that gives them
extra authority about the president?

FYI, you might want to rethink the use of the term "tea bagger." It's kinda
become a joke.

In any case, what I'm not seeing much of is a legitimate discussion about
the various parts of the bills (those we know about such as HR 3200). When
Clinton was trying to get healthcare reform through Congress, she was, of
course, pilloried by the right, but interestingly the attacks were about the
actual contents of the proposed legislation. These days, the attacks are
about things that aren't in the bills, about Obama's race, and about things
that have nothing much to do with healthcare reform. I can't help thinking
that there must be a reason for the difference.
