I'm really disappointed him. I thought of him as an "actively, constantly recovering white supremacist" He pretty much identified himself as such, years ago.
And I know it's not likely he sees himself that way now because white people tend to think there's an end-date on such a recovery, to such self-examination. There isn't, not for white people in a country where power imbalance so largely tipped in their favor.
I really thought Jimmy Carter was better than this -- by a lot.

"And although the former president said Trump was exacerbating racial tensions, Carter also repeatedly defended the current president:
- He said although Trump may be contributing to the souring of America's image in the world, the declining image of America "precedes Trump."
- Carter was not as bothered by Trump's relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and disagreed with his wife about the impact of Russia's meddling in the 2016 election, saying "I don't think there's any evidence that what the Russians did changed enough votes, or any votes."
- Carter claimed that the "media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I've known about," saying that reporters felt "free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation."
Some political pundits on the Sunday morning talk shows speculated whether Carter was positioning himself for a job in Trump's administration by complimenting the president in the press.

His criticism of Obama's foreign policy may be legit. But his defense of TrumpleRacistSkin is not. his bringing up Obama's foreign policy while Trump is trying to start WWIII with his ignorant mouth is not legit either.
I'm really disappointed Carter.
However, when I read he said he voted for Bernie? I understood exactly which section of white supremacy he was speaking from -- the liberal, excuse-making, white-supremacy-enabling section.
He's a part of that group that still chooses to believe white people voted for Trump because they were "white working class" (which studies have been been disproved again and again since the election)
