Comments on Is Jimmy Carter A Racist?

Jimmy Carter courted segregationist groups when running as a candidate for governor of Georgia in 1966:

http://www.americanpresident.org/history/jimmycarter/

"He attributed this loss to a lack of support from segregationist whites, who had turned out in large numbers to vote for his opponent, a nationally known segregationist named Lester Maddox. In a bid to win their vote in the 1970 governor’s race, Carter minimized appearances before African American groups, and even sought the endorsements of avowed segregationists..."

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/carter/peopleevents/p_jcarter.html

"He wanted to appeal to the large middle class, blue collar type, predominantly white, and most of these people are going to be segregationists," says historian E. Stanly Godbold. "Carter himself was not a segregationist in 1970. But he did say things that the segregationists wanted to hear."

After winning the election, he declared the era of segregation over. That said; I don't care - what he did is intellectually dishonest and is dancing with the devil to accomplish what you believe to be right. Sorry Charlie, but that's wrong no matter what you wish to accomplish.

...and the Democrats call Republicans racist. Try again. They're willing to say, do, or hurt anything to win the fight. They care about power, not what's right.

Sorry - that was completely off topic, but as far as I'm concerned, Carter *IS* a racist, because he's willing to use those views to advance his personal desires and beliefs.

Um.....

It seems he thinks that Georgia's laws are potentially discriminatoy & above that he was hesitant to suggest it.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/19/AR2005091901162.html

Carter, who chaired an election reform commission along with former Secretary of State James Baker, said in Washington Monday that requiring photo IDs was one of the most important and most difficult of his group's recommendations.

"We addressed this with a great deal of hesitancy," he said, adding that a national approach would prevent states from enacting laws that are discriminatory.
