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.


initially i didn't think this was true but i'm changing my mind...the
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


There's no other explanation for it.




Carter Cites 'Racism Inclination' in Animosity Toward Obama

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."
