Carter Cites 'Racism Inclination' in Animosity Toward Obama | 44 | washingtonpost.com: "Carter, who is famously from Georgia: 'And that racism inclination still exists. And I think it's bubbled up to the surface because of the belief among many white people, not just in the South but around the country, that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country. It's an abominable circumstance, and it grieves me and concerns me very deeply.'"
I think President Carter hit the hammer on the nail! This is what I want to talk about. It's this fear being played up. Also, what does President Obama's presidency mean to African-American's if he fails? Or, what no one wants to say out loud, if he is assassinated? Now, had the health care debate been better "Primed and Framed" we may not be talking about under tones of racism, especially 9 months into his presidency. However, we would have had this conversation anyway.
