The ruling elite doesn't change. Carter and Obama have a lot in common. The only difference is which arm of the puppeteer is up each of their asses.

"I think an overwhelming portion of the INTENTIONALLY demonstrated aninmosity" of protesters is what he speaks of. Jimmy was talking of those protesters who showed up with the racist type signs depicting Obama in the old classic Jim Crowe era depictions of black people. Jimmy was very careful in his opinion of the people he was speaking about. I myself in an earlier post(about 12 years ago) specifically cited only those who held up 'placards' depicting Obama in a racist light. I don't believe all conservatives are racist.(truly I don't) Carter is 85 years old and grew up in the Jim Crowe south and had to practice his politics there. He knows what he is talking about.

The reality is, Jimmy was asked to clarify what he meant and he said:

<!-Quote-!>Quote:

I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity towards Barak Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he is African American.<!-/Quote-!>



Carter is lying when he says:
<!-Quote-!>Quote:

That's not what I said. I said those on the fringe element that had the personal attacks on president obama<!-/Quote-!>



What? does he think we're all idiots?

Using racism for political control is a crime against humanity!

knock that shit off! It's an affront to anyone who has been a victim of real racism and that includes mothers who were unable to have open casket funerals because their boys were beaten so horribly that the condition of the body prevented it.

We're scared because the President displays the behavior of a Nazi, FOR REAL! Does it matter what color the friggin Nazi happens to be? Fascism is an illness of the mind not the body, the condition of his skin does not concern those who fear for their country.

But... People will still go along with the whole cult of personality thing just like good little Germans in the 1930s.

1. I supported Allan Keys against Bush in 2000 and that man is coal black.

2. I'm calling half-white Obama a Nazi.

Does this mean I 'hate' Obama because he isn't black enough?

What's the whole racist angle on this one?

Racism is becoming an overused word.

It has become a political club to bludgeon people we don't agree with.

Which only serves to lessen the effects when real racism is found.

interesting cat


Lets just call people assholes.

Jimmy Carter is an asshole

It's much more descriptive and far more accurate than tired stereotypes.

Also thank you all for the 500 trillion I am buying beer and porn with the cashout money in honor of my amigo Saber.

I have about another quadrillion worth of weapons stashed away to dump. So keep your eyes open!

/me toasts everyone.

umm screw patriotism and in course nationalism.. we are a state of humanity. We are not bound to our government in fact someone said that the government should fear its people. political borders should dissolve and we should all enjoy a world economy and a world state ran by elected officials, not by some college of votees but popularity. Its the information age, cell phones computers internet. All communicate in this digital medium and it would not be hard to effectively hold a true popular vote. There are billions of star systems out there with even many more billions of planets. I'm sure we should be looking up to those as a future than back to one of the most archaic forms of control ever, racism. Although one can argue the invention of economics and currency was the first step towards government subjigation

No no no, Carter wasn't restricting his comments just to a few people holding signs he took as racist. That doesn't even make sense...what's the point in saying or implying that "the overwhelming portion of the intentional animosity displayed by the people holding racist signs is motivated by racism"?!

No, the press and the pundits on both sides and the administration too took that quote and a few other things he said at the time to refer to the whole demonstration and the movement associated with it. Carter made a gross generalization about a million people, and, by implication, many millions more like myself who were there in sympathy, based on his own preconceptions...that's called bigotry. And so plenty of educated, well-meaning people, some of them posting on this very thread, followed his lead and made accusations referring to the whole mass of demonstrators, not to a few particular ones.
