rod03801: Carter was OTT, but he had a point, a degree of old thinking is still applicable just as it is here in the UK (as we see in the BNP) ... there is still a small minority in the USA that is racist and as such the old lines are still perpetuated.

The movement to total equality is still young, discrimination of various sorts still exists and will do for a time. Whether it be regarding race, sex, religion, sexuality, ideology, etc. And then there is the Politically correct crowd, some ideas of theirs going OTT...

... I read one article last night from a guy interviewing a politician that described Obama as "uppity", though the politician was too young to know consciously (or so was said) what it meant from days before, it is still in use.

As to no-one wants to be called a racist... then those who are making pics of your President looking like a monkey, or adding Obama's head to that of some African tribes man should stop.

Jesus or Satan?
White or Black?
Good or Bad?
American or anti-American?
Peacemaker or Terrorist?
Warrior or worrier?
Soldier or Socialist?
Angel or Devil?
White House or Rule of Darkness?
McCain or Hussein?

Folks, wake up! Can’t you see what Obama’s plans for America are? As soon as he is in office we will slaughter Americans and ship our body parts to his family in Africa for voodoo magic purposes! That is how they do it! My God, don’t let him become president!!!

This is a great campaign idea to help our fellow white-folk to understand why it’s actually racist to vote for Obama. I’d like to thank some smart Republicans in Clarendon County, Virginia for helping to educate misguided white folk who might betray their race.

This is what Carter was against.
