released by The Carter Center Wednesday, the oldest living president said he and his wife, former first lady Rosalynn Carter, are"pained by the tragic racial injustices and consequent backlash across our nation in recent weeks."Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter teaches Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church, Sunday, Nov. 3, 2019, in Plains, Ga.
"We all must shine a spotlight on the immorality of racial discrimination," his statement read, without mentioning Floyd's name."But violence, whether spontaneous or consciously incited, is not a solution."Carter's statement also turned inward when he invoked his own experiences growing up in the deep South.
Carter included a call back to his 1971 inaugural address as Georgia's governor when he said,"The time for racial discrimination is over." "People of power, privilege, and moral conscience must stand up and say 'no more' to a racially discriminatory police and justice system, immoral economic disparities between whites and blacks, and government actions that undermine our unified democracy," he added.
👍👍👍
Jimmy carter was the best president ever
The world seeks why it has happened-The world seeks the answer to the problem-Well here for the world is the word that has all the answers ‼️ACCOUNTABILITY‼️With out this words meaning intrenched into society then the ugly word flows close by‼️TYRANNY‼️-Here in Australia the same
All of these former Presidents, establishment blowtards, & dignataries recently speaking from their high horses, & gated, secure homesteads, had ample time to FixIt, they didn't......
This guy does not look well. Hope he stays in good health though, don’t want to be too rude
This is a good man. An exemplary American.
My compliments to former President JimmyCarter for taking the time out from building America to help us with rebuilding America. Hey CarterLibrary, if this keeps up you're gonna need to tack on an annex.
All the evidence and data points to an improving trend. Outrage is manufactured by the Media.
I luv u Mr. President. GOD BLESS 🙏
Silence is actually nowhere near as deadly as violence. Does everybody attempt to speak in useless metaphors these days?
you can put al the sugar on a turd you want. it's still a turd.
Wise words , but ex Presidents andPrime Ministers often come back and say what needs to be done morally . It’s fair to ask the question , did they achieve any of that while they were in office ?
Well said Mr President
'Please don't arrest us.'
