Please President Carter...don't be so stupid.
I have no doubt whatsoever that there are people in this country that don't like Obama because he's black...no doubt in my mind. But "an overwelming portion" of the dislike for him based on his race??? Come on...that's just attention whoring on his part, and not even remotely true.
I know of people that would love nothing more than to see Obama get assasinated (they're pussies because they won't do it/attempt it themselves but they would love it if someone would---am I'm in no way supporting/hoping he gets assasinated), and their hatred for him has NOTHING to do with his race...NOTHING. Not a thing...they never once mention his race in their rants and ravings. It has everything to do with his politics.
The left has a very hard time justifying his actions with logical arguments, so they have to resort to the race card in his defence...and it's bullshit.
On this subject i think he way off.
All the Obama haters I know are the same people who regularly refer to black people as niggers.
Only when there are no black people around to hear them, of course.
These are the same people who keep forgetting how fucked up our country was before he took office.
Jimmy Carter wasn't a great president, but he's a good man, and his statements have merit,
whether you choose to accept them or not.

I don't know of anyone that calls black people niggers...and if they did around me I'd put them in their place real quck. And I talk with a lot of people that don't like Obama...yet none of them ever call black people (let alone Obama) niggers...funny how that is??? Says something about the people you associate with, doesnt' it?
Our country was bad when he took office...and it's going to get a whole lot worse...you can count on that. This "the recession is over" bullshit, is just that...bullshit...wait for hyperinflation and a worthless dollar...it's coming.
The media took the opportunity to turn it into a race issue.
I didn't say I hang out with them.
If you honestly believe race doesn't play into the equation, you're fooling yourself.
Of course these guys think he has an agenda.
Can't say I noticed any racists on the jobs.
Couple of homophobes, but no racists.
Pit Row
Now the shoes on the other foot and the hypocrites are trying to associate disagreement with Obama with racism.
Carter is doing more to marginalize Obama than anyone that might hate him by assuming he needs support in the form of demonizing his opposition.
I felt all warm and fuzzy when I signed up, and just hot, sweaty, and covered in drywall dust afterwards.
Obama: Health care anger not motivated by his race
36 mins ago
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama said Friday that angry criticisms about his health care agenda are driven by an intense debate over the proper role of government — and not by racism.
"Are there people out there who don't like me because of race? I'm sure there are," Obama told CNN. "That's not the overriding issue here."
The nation's first black president spoke about the issue of race during a battery of interviews on Friday. In a media blitz aimed at pounding home his health care message, he taped interviews with ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Univision to be shown during the networks' Sunday morning talk shows.
Some excerpts aired during Friday night broadcasts.
Time and again, Obama was asked about whether the tenor of the health care debate turned nasty because of undercurrents in racism. Former President Jimmy Carter raised the point prominently this week when he said the vitriol was racially motivated.
Not so, Obama said.
"There's been a long-standing debate in this country that is usually that much more fierce during times of transition, or when presidents are trying to bring about big changes," Obama told CNN.
To NBC News, Obama put it this way: "It's an argument that's gone on for the history of this republic, and that is, What's the right role of government? How do we balance freedom with our need to look out for one another? ... This is not a new argument, and it always evokes passions."
Obama said most people across the country are just trying to follow the debate and figure out how proposed changes would help them.
"Now there are some who are, setting aside the issue of race, actually I think are more passionate about the idea of whether government can do anything right," Obama said told ABC News. "And I think that that's probably the biggest driver of some of the vitriol."
Some health care town halls over the summer had bitter moments of confrontation. And South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson shouted "You lie!" at Obama during the president's address to a joint session of Congress last week. The White House has said for weeks that such moments are not representative and overblown.
Obama told CBS News that the media was partly to blame.
"The 24-hour news cycle and cable television and blogs and all this — they focus on the most extreme elements on both sides," Obama said. "They can't get enough of conflict. It's catnip to the media right now."
Obama is half white, right?
A lot of white folks - a LOT - have told me explicitly that they don't like him because he's black.
And if you arent, you talk to - a LOT - of strange people. How is it that you put yourself into situations where you would be talking to LARGE amounts of people about the subject of the Presidents race? And just how to you get into a conversation with SO MANY people in which those people would outright tell you that "[they] dont like him because he is black."
One last comment. Blatant racsim? Your definition of blatant but be completely different than mine or Webster's.
My uncle last weekend at his son's wedding said, "The truth is, the real reason I don't like him is because I really don't like n******s."
Those are just two of many examples.
some hawaiians drove by our rally and said fuck you haoles..and there were alot of local people there
big deal
personally ,i am happy that a black/white man got elected..it represents America and its diversity..
it was on a hate crime bill..because it usually has an adjective in front of it
Post a reply to: Jimmy Carter on the "You Lie" guy and such...
