Jimmy Carter Tells Piers Morgan That Gingrich Has ‘Subtlety Of Racism’

video
» 164 comments

In a preview of Wednesday’s Piers Morgan Tonight, former President Jimmy Carter surprised host Piers Morgan with his somewhat blunt (by mainstream media standards) assessment of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Speaking of Gingrich’s standing ovation moment at Monday night’s debate, President Carter told Morgan “I think (Gingrich) has that subtlety of racism that I know quite well, that Gingrich knows quite well, that appeals to some people in Georgia.”

“Really?” Morgan exclaimed as Carter spoke, later adding, “That’s a pretty serious charge to level at Newt Gingrich, that he’s being racist.”

“I’m not saying he’s racist, but he knows the subtle words to use to appeal to a racist group,” Carter responded.

“Same thing, isn’t it?” Morgan interjected.

“Not quite,” President Carter replied, adding “Newt Gingrich is probably as enlightened as I am about being gratified that we’re in the desegregation years in the South,” but “when you emphasize, over and over, welfare, food stamps, and ‘why don’t the black people get jobs,’ and if I’m president, I’ll make sure they turn toward a work ethic, rather than an ethic of welfare and food stamps, that’s appealing to the wrong element in South Carolina.”

Given the South Carolina debate crowd’s reaction to Gingrich, they may be, as Carter says, the “wrong crowd,” but they’re a big one.

You can see the rest of Piers Morgan’s interview with former President Jimmy Carter tonight at 9pm, on CNN.

Here’s the clip, from CNN:

    President Carter should know what everyone in the “South” knows the subtle bigotry for what it is! This subtlety permeates the entire core of of right-winged extremist. Everyone should pay attention to  the goings on of the TEA party inspired fringe of the TEA-GOP-Republican party.

    It’s like a horoscope. Everybody hears what they want to believe. People who want Newt to sound racist hear racism. People who want to hear something else hear that. It really doesn’t matter what is said or how. There’s no explaining or defending what somebody else wants to think.

    Oh brother – here we go again – code language….ooooooohhhhhhhh nnnnnooooooo

    Jimmah needs to sit down and shut up; Piers is a waste of air time; is it any wonder hardly anyone watches CNN anymore?

    Appeals to the racists, as opposed to being a racist….poor Jimmah and the left, always throwing that race card they know so well and projecting their racism onto others.

    Typical.

    and the fact that Jimmy sees everything in black and white reveals the dark southern democrat racism in him. Democrats have always been the party of oppression and slavery. Mr. Carter proves that the tradition continues today. If I could, I would tell him to take a good hard look in the mirror.

  • Anonymous

    I was a Democrat when Carter was in and I can say without a doubt, he was the worst President until now.  Everyone hated him.   Think for a minute, the country always does better, and working people do better, when we have a Republican President.  

  • Anonymous

    there may be a racist fringe to the republican party. However, people with deep-seated racism make up the heart of the democrat party. They are forever seeing colors. Everywhere. They are obsessed with skin color. MLK would be ashamed to know that the republican party has moved on, but the democrat party clings to their roots of oppressive behaviour.

    I don’t detect racism in Newt’s tone but if someone does, they better say it. Some have better antennas than others

    He was the first prominent figure to call Israel the modern day Apartheid state. He sort of dialed back on it later when his son ran for some public office but one cannot but admire him for calling it as he sees it

  • http://profiles.google.com/humerus Brad Brzezinski

    All this creates the unfortunate impression that Carter – and many others in the US Democratic fold – think about race ALL THE TIME, so hell bent are they in exposing racism wherever it exists.  Meanwhile the rest of the world tries to move on. Yes there racists in the US but I can’t stay I’ve seen a hint of it from mainstream Republican / conservative politicians and media. I agreed with Morgan Freeman’s answer on 60 Minutes to the question, “How are we going to get rid of racism?”  “Stop talking about it!”

    Being free of racism requires that a person’s race is not their defining characteristic in the mind of people of other races. Being hyper-aware of race and treating minority races with kid gloves, does not get us there.

    …… just observing from Canada.

  • http://twitter.com/TommyBennett Tom Bennett

    Of course Carter understands the subtleties of southern racism. He lived amongst it all through the 20th century. Its the many hard right social conservatives who want to deny it to this day. The medieval stupidity would be hilarious if not so depressing. And guess what: GW Bush will go down as the most incompetent and “worst” president in the 20th century, if not history. Open your eyes, d-bags.

    To Jimmy Carter everything he disagrees with is due to racism…he needs a new script writer.

  • JustAsking2012

    I’m starting to think that one of the main reasons why the far-left wanted Herman Cain out of the race so early, was because of things like this. It would have been much harder for old white guys, to cry “Racism!” at every instance, with a Cain there.

    Speaking of Cain… has anything come from those charges? Any proof? Or has that just fallen down the memory hole now that he’s no longer IN the race?

  • Hout Bosques

    I actually think he was one of the best, & that the right wing noise machine has been busily manufacturing a Big Lie about him from about a month after he was sworn in – just like they did with Clinton, just like they’ve done with Obama, just like they do with whatever Dem gets sworn into office. His foreign policy was the closest thing to RoPaul’s non-imperial Utopian ideal since Calvin Coolidge, his policies on global warming & energy self-sufficiency were ahead of  their time (and so became the target of GOP irrationality on these issues ever since). No other president has ever understood nuclear power in all its dimensions like Jimmy Carter (not surprising given he was a nuclear engineer with the Navy for a number of years; the peanut farmer thing was pretty effective cover). He’s indisputably the greatest EX-president since Herbert Hoover, maybe even Teddy Roosevelt. He’s bright, articulate, realistic, open-minded, thoughtful, rational, reasonable, literate – what’s not to like?

  • Anonymous

    Again, why bring up Michael Steele and Herman Cain. Can you not see past the skin? And why the unkind comments about Cain. You do not know the man. Where is Gloria Allred? Where are his accusers? Nothing has come of any of it. Why are these accusers no longer pursuing lawsuits?
    And another thing; don’t get sanctimonious about democrats electing the current president alone. Many independents voted for him. Many republicans made the move too. There is no way he could have been elected by democrats alone. Democrats and liberalism are in the minority in this country. Do you not know this? And MLK was a republican, by the way. 

  • Hout Bosques

    What a crock. How do you know what he knows or does not know? Are you suggesting YOU are more knowledgeable about facts, events & issues than Jimmy Carter is? Nuts to you.

    Honestly when was the last time you heard Jimmy Carter say anything positive that was not directed at Cuba, Iran, or North Korea?  I am sure that you will find a few, but would those comments outnumber the comments he has made in defense of those countries who despise our country.  

    I am not a fan of Jimmy Carter in as a testament to how really bad he was as a president his fellow peanut farmers of southern Georgia used to have a billboard on the side of I-75 apologizing to the country for their support in getting Carter elected. I know this to be true because I drove past it.

    He did NOT say that Gingrich was/is racist.

    The two statements are very different, although the first one (that Carter did not use in this video!) is probably true too.

    The absurdity of your premise that the country and working people do better under republican presidents aside, Jimmy Carter is a true son of the south and knows his bretheren like the back of his own hand.  Carter was speaking the truth, which is why conservatives reject him.  Conservatives are trained from an early age to reject the truth in favor of their own narrative.

    there is a difference between denying and a desire to move on. Democrats seem to be intent on not allowing MLK’s dream to come to pass. Even after electing a black president, it seems they can’t move forward.

    No, it seems that every time a republican gets in the white house, they begin jacking up the national debt by cutting taxes on the  rich.  At least Reagan and Bush Sr had the gumption to increase taxes some but still managed to double the national debt.  When George W Bush came in, he doubled the national debt with his tax cuts, 2 wars and drug plan and now we have to pay a big chunk of revenues just for the INTEREST on the national debt they are responsible for.
    Bush Jr left 2 wars NOT paid for, a drug plan at $1 TRILLION per year NOT paid for, and a loss of revenues on tax cuts $3-4 TRILLION plus he left a budget deficit on the table of $1.3 TRILLION. A hell of a lot different than the budget SURPLUS that Bill Clinton left for him.
    No, we need to give President Obama a tax increase on the wealthiest so we can begin to pay for the damn doubled national debt the republicans have created.

    When 750,000 people were losing their jobs every month – at least Obama stopped the hemorraging and has created more than 2 million jobs since he came into office.  The country’s economy was in such bad shape, it will take a while for it to come back to how it should be – not an easy task when you have republicans who don’t want people to have jobs nor do they want our economy to recover.  they are doing every thing they can to  bankrupt our country.

    There is no doubt in my mind that the Tea Party was formed as a wing of the KKK.  Notice there was nothing during the time that George W Bush was doubling our national debt and running up deficits – and in fact left a budget deficit of $1.3 Trillion for President Obama.  It wasn’t until a democrat, black president took over despite the economic situation that had been a problem for 2 years, that the Tea Party began forming.

    And how much of the debt accumulated under Bush the result of the last 2 years of his term when the democrats controlled the nations purse strings.  And how much more debt than that did Obama accumulate?

    And I know you like to think that the opposition to Obama was only due to his race, but surely you know enough to recognize that his solutions were worse than the problems, he is the worst president since Carter.  And that opposition to him was not only opposition to him, but also to folks like Pelosi and Reid.  And the favourite candidate of these racists was Cain (at least until his campaign imploded).

    His many years of work and support for “Habitat for Humanity” is admirable.  How often do you see a former president swinging a hammer?  He’s a deeply religious man who does’nt believe in “scripture quoting” wars with opponents.  He seemed comfortable enough in his own faith to not force it upon others.  Unlike certain other politicians of late.  However, like Nixon, he ran a “dry” White House.   Probably, provided the sellers of personal liquor flasks with a minor boon.

    As a Lifetime Democrat, I voted for Mr Carter.  I also voted for Mr Reagan, to get rid of the worthless Jimah!  When your Worthless, your Worthless, and the only person I have ever seen more worthless than Jimah Carter is B. Hussein Obambi.  At least I didn’t vote for Obama like I did for Jimah, I just don’t vote for people with no Past, no Record, and no Accomplishments.  Obama now has a record and it is a horrible one, so, needless to say, Hussein will not get my vote this time either.

    There`s nothing subtle about the anti-white cultists pushing for white genocide:

    Africa for the Africans,Asia for the Asians,white countries for EVERYBODY!

    Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.

    The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.

    Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.

    What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?

    How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?

    And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?

    But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

    They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.

    Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

    If you go on some of those websites that show unemployment and inflation, by president, by year, you might actually learn a little something. 

    Carter, the peanut farmer made really ordinary people feel like they could have been President…And it was time, a tough time, and not just here at home, economically.  It was a bad time America with the Shah of Iran and the Hostage Crisis…

    Its easy to forget these things, because life got waaaaayyyyy better during the Reagan years, and life kept getting better.

    …Until, well, 2008.

    Jimmy Carter is one of my favorite presidents and more importantly MEN of all time. I say this a black man born and raised in the south. He is enlightened and honest and possesses a core integrity that doesn’t exist in today’s democratic party. Reagan didn’t have a tenth of this man’s character.

     His only failing as I see it was not being able to rescue the American hostages that were stranded when the CIAs puppet was overthrown and after George Bush cut a deal with the Iranians to hold them until Reagan took office.

    To see a criminal like Reagan so deified and a man like Carter so demonized says more about the soulless Political psychology of the GOP than anything the Dems could explain on their own.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_34VQ3NDNOFFUF6R7ALXY6O33S4 Cal

    Yeah, the difference is that Reagan made an illegal deal before the election that he’d pay off the Iranians with weapons if they held onto the hostages until January 1980. That’s generally known as treason.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_34VQ3NDNOFFUF6R7ALXY6O33S4 Cal

    The charges were proven. That’s why he had to drop out.

    Also, the left would’ve loved to see an ignorant buffoon like Herman Cain get the nomination.

    The only way to not see racism from mainstream Republican politicians is to not want to see it. It’s obvious and right out in the open.

    It sounds like you have a lot of insider knowledge on this.  You should team up with Jesse the Body Ventura on his “conspiracy” TV show and do an expose on it, right after he demonstrates how Bigfoot is manipulating the mobile applications industry.

    Talk about “selective memory”, do you recall the hostages were being held until Reagan cut a deal to have them released in exchange for weapons??

    I guess you prefer to have Presidents who negotiate with terrorists… right?? Lol!!

    Harmful racism comes with the hierarchy of power and class. The powerless, ie, the underclass, hold a racism that’s meaningless, except to the paranoid class in power.

    Everyone who wants black people clean up their act and stop looking for handouts is, by political necessity, a racist to the democrats. 

    How else can they keep the blacks under their thumb if they can’t keep them dependent on entitlements?   Gotta scare black people to keep them in the mental bondage of the welfare state.

    Brother Kevin, there are a bunch of bigots on this here site, so you’re probably wasting your time. Although you’re correct that Gingrinch is a bigot and a racist, that could be said probably about every other candidate in the Gop, and the Democrats as well.
    Obamas domestic and foreign policies are racist,
    and they only represent about 10% of the populations
    interests. You must know the saying ” Not every brother, is a brother”……. Peace and Justice for all.

    Piers praised Carter’s entrepreneurial ways – cooking peanuts at home and going to sell them – and used this to once again insult USAmerican people for not having can-do entrepreneurial attitude.  FU Piers!  If anybody today tried to home cook something and sell it the law would come down on them so fast – you have to have a certain amount of wealth even to meet licenses and standards to create foodstuffs for sale so in this example alone it is shown that entrepreneurial ideas or not – the law prohibits it.  By the way, isn’t there an American born citizen that can do Piers’ job?
