Jimmy Carter, former President of America has accused South Carolina Republican Joe Wilson of being a racist as he interrupted President Barack Obama during his health care speech to Congress last week. He was unhappy by Joe’s behavior and said that his action was uncalled for.
Jimmy Carter said at a town hall held at his presidential center in Atlanta, “I think it’s based on racism. There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president.”
I am not pretty sure whether you can call this racism or hate politics, however one thing is for sure that Mr. Joe Wilson has to understand that you can not interrupt the president of our country in a full senate house. It can definitely be regarded as his insult. I would have said this if anyone was at Obama’s Place. I mean the world is watching us when Obama speaks.

I believe Jimmy Carter. And I believe many white males do not believe a black man can lead this great nation. For 15 years I sought a job in my field, city planning. I was told directly by the director of regional Planning Commission I was most qualified but they could not leave a 7 year employee on their staff out in the cold. The most qualified(professional education & experience) for city manager in my town, I was passed over at least three times. After the third time I applied, the mayor had the nerve to put in the local paper that no black person applied for the job. My retort in the editorial pages of the same newspaper denied his claim and reassured the people I am Black and I did indeed apply. The city attorney stood behind the mayor when I complained to the EEOC. The EEOC
assured me I was the most qualified but could not unseat the white man the local government had chosen and seated in the job. Nobody in power in the locality or region trusted me to lead in my small town. So, I believe Jimmy Carter as well as Bill Cosby. I believe deep-seated hatred in hearts is impossible to completely remove. Thank God for progress in this country since the 1960’s, and thank God that Barack Obama could finally be elected, but equal opportunity remains myth in many ways. Do we do our best to control our minds when it comes to racism, or clear our hearts? Because if our hearts aren’t clean of racism, our society have merely taught itself political correctness on the issue of race in America.
