Carter is exactly correct

President Carter’s remarks on racism in the South is dead on correct. Having roots in the South that span 7 generations and having lived 67 years I think both President Carter and I have a credible view of racism where we live. Michael Steel, chair of the Republican Party disagrees and states the GOP has a significant black membership that would disagree. But let’s take a look at the two men. President Carter, Nobel Laureate, one of the most respected past Presidents in the country’s history and Michael Steel, a feeble choice by Republicans to attempt to compete with the country’s first Black President. I lived briefly in the Bay Area and no, you did not see racism like you would in Selma, Al, Jena, La, or Lucedale, Ms. But as Gen. Powell stated, any black American has experienced some form of Racism.

Robert Gibbs has taken the best position in stating the President does not see that much racism because if he says anything else, he will immediately be accused of “playing the race card” and attention will be taken away from the major topics. When I regularly hear the “N word, those people, they have more kids to collect welfare”, it is hard to deny the facts. Is the group of hate mongers a minority-------of course they are. Are there Democrats with this same bias, of course but when I hear things such as, “After all it was blacks that sold blacks, I did not own slaves, I know racism is alive and well.
