At his short press conference at the Values Voter Summit, Mike Huckabee took an open-ended question about former President Jimmy Carter’s remark that “there is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president.”
“Do we still have racism?” asked Huckabee. “Yeah! Of course we do. But that’s not what this discussion over health care or over foreign policy is all about.” And he talked for about three minutesabout his own racial tolerance.

Who had more African-Americans in my cabinet, and in my staff, than even Bill Clinton or Jim Guy Tucker did? Who got 48 percent of the African-American vote, as a Republican, which is unheard of? I’m especially offended.”
