Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

Item:&#160 Dhimmi Kadhr, aka Peanut-dick, accuses Our Hero, Joe Wilson&#153 of being a closet racist (hat tip:&#160 LC Gaius Lawrenitis Negris over at the Rott).

Former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday that U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson’s outburst to President Barack Obama during a speech to Congress last week was an act “based on racism” and rooted in fears of a black president.

“I think it’s based on racism,” Carter said in response to an audience question at a town hall held at his presidential center in Atlanta. “There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president.”

Uh huh.&#160 Riiiiiiiight.

Item:&#160 Fifty years ago, Dhimmi Khadr was quite the racist himself (hat tip:&#160 Ed Driscoll).

(Minor update:&#160 Broken up for a little better readability.)

When Carter returned to Plains, Georgia, to become a peanut farmer after serving in the Navy, he became a member of the Sumter County School Board, which did not implement the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision handed down by the Supreme Court. Instead, the board continued to segregate school children on the streets of Carter’s hometown.

As Laughlin McDonald, director of the ACLU’s Voting Project, relates in his book A Voting Rights Odyssey: Black Enfranchisement in Georgia, Carter’s board tried to stop the construction of a new “Elementary Negro School” in 1956. Local white citizens had complained that the school would be “too close” to a white school. As a result, “the children, both colored and white, would have to travel the same streets and roads in order to reach their respective schools.”

The prospect of black and white children commingling on the streets on their way to school was apparently so horrible to Carter that he requested that the state school board stop construction of the black school until a new site could be found. The state board turned down Carter’s request because of “the staggering cost.”

Carter and the rest of the Sumter County School Board then reassured parents at a meeting on October 5, 1956, that the board “would do everything in its power to minimize simultaneous traffic between white and colored students in route to and from school.” (Emphasis added.)

And yet another case of PotKettleBlack&#153 rears its ugly head.&#160 And, as usual, it has its roots in the Demoscum Party.

But what can you expect from the party that is in proud possession of the two worst-ever occupants of the White House?
