Rosalyn Carter: "I think we need a new president"

“I think we need a new president,” Rosalynn Carter said. “I am so disturbed about white power. He [Trump] says he is not a racist and maybe he is not. But some of the things he says, encourages racism.”

So often, I feel ashamed of the hatred, racism, backwardness, squalor, ignorance, and provincialism of much of the South.

Then people like the Carters remind me that there is a grand old tradition of Southern progressivism, and that it is these voices that should be listened to.
