Jimmy Carter racism charge triggers next US race debate

Quote:

---

Former President Jimmy Carter’s assertion that racism is behind much of the political opposition to President Obama marks a stunning moment in America’s centuries-old racial drama.

Former Democrat President and "elder" of the party.

Some have been more subtle.

Democrat Harry Reid Plays the Race Card and Compares Opponents to Obamacare to Those that Oppposed Slavery

Quote:

---

“Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, ‘slow down, stop everything, let’s start over.’ If you think you’ve heard these same excuses before, you’re right,” Reid said Monday. “When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said ‘slow down, it’s too early, things aren’t bad enough.’”

That's the Democrat Senate Majority Leader.

Obama Says Race a Key Component in Tea Party Protests

Don't let the headline fool you, Obama deftly lumped the rest of conservatives in that characterization...

Quote:

But Obama, in his most candid moments, acknowledged that race was still a problem. In May 2010, he told guests at a private White House dinner that race was probably a key component in the rising opposition to his presidency from conservatives, especially [but not exclusively. -Y] right-wing activists in the anti-incumbent "Tea Party" movement that was then surging across the country. Many middle-class and working-class whites felt aggrieved and resentful that the federal government was helping other groups, including bankers, automakers, irresponsible people who had defaulted on their mortgages, and the poor, but wasn't helping them nearly enough, he said.

A guest suggested that when Tea Party activists said they wanted to "take back" their country, their real motivation was to stir up anger and anxiety at having a black president, and Obama didn't dispute the idea. He agreed that there was a "subterranean agenda" in the anti-Obama movement—a racially biased one—that was unfortunate. But he sadly conceded that there was little he could do about it.

That's the President, current leader of the Democrat Party and chief liberal.

I think I can be forgiven for thinking a large number of Democrats and liberals believe Obama's opponents are driven by racism.

I tried to find something from Pelosi but, all I came up with during a cursory search was her calling Obama's opponents Nazis which, I guess, is a form of calling them racists.

Then, you have the out and out blatant charges from loons like Sheila Jackson-Lee, Maxine Waters, and gang.

And, I think there are more people that identify with the Tea Party, many of them black, ideals than you give credit.

Conservatives, libertarians, and The Tea Party all oppose Barack Obama because he's the embodiment of the liberal progressive agenda. We believe it is a flawed ideology and we also believe the first half of Obama's presidency is bearing that out. Period. It's that simple.

For suggesting that, I've been called racist.

We've called you racist because or your racist posts.

Obama sucks.
