Jim in Anchorage Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 In a nutshell, basically said anyone who disagrees with Obama is a racist. NBC was thrilled to put this on prime time news. Whats worse, the nutty peanut farmer or NBC for airing this garbage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brought that up. Basically dismissed anyone south off the Mason-Dixon line as a racist. So if thats a given[according to Carter] Why do people in "free" states have any issue with BO?

IDBillzFan Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 It's funny, because this morning I saw that Cracker Barrel announced some nice profits, and I thought maybe it wouldn't be a bad investment. But, y'know, a white guy buying stock in a company with the name Cracker in it. It's got racism written all over it. All joking aside, I'm honestly amazed that after watching America vote the first black man into the most powerful position in the world that the left is SO quick to label any dissenters as racist. Way to overplay your hand, crackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X. Benedict Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 so you took this: "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." and interpreted it to mean this?: In a nutshell, basically said anyone who disagrees with Obama is a racist.

But I Think Carter[white] sucked big time. So where do you pigeon hole me? Junk is junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, there appears to be a coordinated effort by someone to paint the anti-Obama sentiment in racial terms to roll back the tide of opposition which has driven his popularity ratings down. In reality, there probably is a large component of racially motivated anger at him, but I'd guess that for most opposing him, it's because he's the most leftist President in their lifetimes.

I've spent the last three months traveling from Texas to the Florida keys to Buffalo to Erie, Pa, and to Cody Wyoming and believe me racism is alive and well in this country and you have to be naive, stupid or in denial to dismiss Carters statements.

Endzone Animal Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Obey Obama or suffer the consequences. I have never, and will never, given any public criticism of Mr. President because the consequences are too steep, the risks too large. I can't aford to be on his blacklist, because I have a family to feed and care for. If I have anything negative to say I either keep it to myself or whisper in hushed, measured tones - and even then only among my most immediate family and most intimate friends.
