Well,,, five years ago Carter claimed that much of the animosity and criticism toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man..and that racism had come to the surface across the country because of a belief held by many whites that an African American is not qualified to be in the White House.
Well that was five years ago ...today fmr.President Carter made statements criticizing a sitting President ...a black sitting President.
In an interview today the 39th President said President Barack Obama "waited too long" to go after ISIS and criticized what he described as the President's changing foreign policy.
He also said that it would be strategic to have troops on the ground in Syria to help guide the air campaign...something Obama pledged not to do..
But,,Carter didn't stop there he citicized Obama's foreign policy, an approach that he says is lacking in "positive action." ( it's bad when you get the peanut pile-on)
"It changes from time to time," Carter said. "I noticed that two of his secretaries of defense, after they got out of office, were very critical of the lack of positive action on the part of the president." (ouch !)
Holding Carter to his own standards and by his own definition ...I say et tu Jimmy....

Is Former President Jimmy Carter a racist ?

People are inclined to say what is expected of them. Democrats were expected to say that criticism of BHO was racist. So Carter just saying what all Dems at the time were saying. No Dem at that time wanted to be seen as saying criticism couldn't be racist.
Global warming perfect example of this. Watch how people hedge everything they say about it. Actually, most issues. Few people will say things outside of their expected talking points, right or left.
Now it is expected for people to criticize BHO. No fan of his---but actually I don't like that they are doing it now. He is who they thought he was---and now they all are trying to distance themselves.

Jimmy just glad not to be last anymore.

Well,, by Jimmy Carters own standards he would qualify as racist for criticizing Obama... but ,who can tell what's in a man's heart ..we do know Jimmy looked at a lot of women with lust... and he self admitted he committed adultery in his heart many times ..
Maybe someday Jimmy Carter will tell us if their is any racism in his heart..till then we do know he has a chip on his shoulder over President Barack Obama not ever calling him for advice..
Recently Carter said President Obama is the first president since he left office not to solicit the Southern Democrat’s advice....Carter explained, “President Clinton did and President George W. Bush and H.W. Bush and even Ronald Reagan used to call' ...but not Barack Hussein Obama ..
Then again ..Jimmy Carter pandered for racist votes by refusing to attend Dr.Martin Luther King Jr's funeral in 1968 while running for governor ...

Former President Jimmy Carter is criticizing President Barack Obama’s
Middle East policy, saying he has shifting policies and waited too long
to take action against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
In an interviewed published Tuesday in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the 39th president said the Obama administration, by not acting sooner, allowed ISIL to build up its strength.

Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul was walloped on Thursday by a series of media reports that concluded he was wrong to claim fellow GOP Sen. John McCain of Arizona unwittingly met with ISIS terrorists when he held a secret 2013 meeting with rebel leaders in Syria.
'Here’s the problem,' Paul told The Daily Beast on Tuesday. 'He [McCain] did meet with ISIS, and had his picture taken.

Obama didn't want to bomb ISIS while McCain was over there showing his support for them.
LOL............Obama didn’t act while they were still in Syria because he saw them (ISIS) as allies of the Syrian rebels....
Jimmy Carter is saying that the way a President is handling Islamic terrorism is not strong enough...and last week Jimmy Carter claims he would have beaten Ronald Reagan if only he had shown he was more "manly" in his dealings with Iran...
Too much ....Carter calling out Obama for being a wussie .....

I dont know how anybody can call Carter a racist just because he criticized Obama on a few issues. Its amazing how some guys on this site, like to twist things into things there not
Now if Carter said Obama messed up these issues because he was a black man, then i would say Carter was a racist, but he didnt say that.
So this thread really is incorrect. I guess when you live life spinning facts, this is what you get.

How are you confused by this thread. He is, I guess, tongue-in-cheek, asking if Republicans are accused of racism when they criticize BHO---why aren't Democrats accused of racism when they criticize BHO. Try to stay caught up, it helps.

No republicans should be called racists for criticizing Obama, unless they specifically said that he screwed up because he was black.

According to Jimmy Carter if someone has an issue with Obama policies and criticizes him ..they need not say... because he's a black man to be labeled as a racist ..
When Rep Joe Wilson's said "You lie!" to President Barack Obama during a speech to Congress in 2009 ...Carter said at the time that it was an act "based on racism" and rooted in fears of a black president....Wilson in his outburst did not say .. based on the color of your skin Obama ,,, you lie .
So the question - ( to those in this thread who would rather bring up the unrelated actions of Republicans, McCain or Ron Paul)- by fm.President Carter's standard is he (Carter ) a racist for criticizing Obama's foreign policies....
The question is very clear : Do you believe that criticizing Obama's inept policies is racist ?

Any person criticizing a black man should not be considered a racist if he is not specifically saying the things you are doing wrong are because you are black.
Jimmy carter has no right to call anybody a racist for just criticizing Obama for the way he handled something. Carter is flat out wrong

No. Just that you and the other clowns on your side called everyone that vote against Zero or expressed concern/dissatisfaction a racist.
