Was that Carter?  He said essentially the same thing in a  speech a while
back

Nah, I think the point has been made. :)

 

Funny, just ran across this via Twitter.

 

Let's not pretend for a moment that birtherism isn't steeped in racism. I'm
willing to concede that not every conspiracy theorist asking for Obama's
long-form birth certificate is a bigot. But it's worth asking: Is there any
way any of this would have happened if the president were a white man with
an Anglo-Saxon name? At the heart of it, most of the people demanding
evidence of Obama's citizenship were just taken aback by the fact that a
black guy could be president. How could an African-American attain the
nation's highest office without cheating? Impossible. And so, "Prove it,
Barack Hussein Obama-if that is your real name."

When Obama won the election, it naturally thrilled the African-American
community, which had long been told-tacitly and outright-that it couldn't
achieve greatness. In 2008, a black man beat a white man fair and square,
and nobody could say anything about it. Three years later, the White House's
deference to Trump proves that somebody can say something about it. The
heartbreaking lesson of April 27, 2011, is that, as a black man, you better
always be ready to justify your success. Even if you're president of the
United States.
