i live in the south. i have seen the south come a long way. and i have seen the rest of the country that shared the south's attitude toward minority groups at that time, particularly african-americans, that racism intonation still exists. i think it has bubbled up to the surface. because of a belief among many white people, not just in the south but around the country that african-americans are not qualified to lead this great country. it is an abominable circumstance and grieves me and concerns me very deeply. >> cynthia, what do you think of that? you're from georgia. >> i'm from georgia. i grew up in alabama. like kathleen, a southerner. i want to be clear i certainly don't think that represents all southerners. it is certainly not true that all racism is in the south. i think jimmy carter knows the south very well. he is 85 years old and he remembers the south at a time when race relations were much worse, much more poisonous than they are now. i think he has lived in the south long enough to know, and lived in a very small town for much o

what is going on in south carolina? >> something in the water. leaders in the state who say this is really within character, frankly the politics already sort of rough and tumble there dating back to before the civil war when a south carolina congressman burst onto the senate floor and started beating a massachusetts senator with a cane over his head. the first senator was called out over a slavery issue, really just a state where it is rough politics as normal. >> you have been farther than that you go back to the scene on the movie from "1776" based on real events we see edward rutledge, the democratic from south carolina, arguing the issue of slavery with thomas jefferson. >> to us in south carolina, black slavery is our peculiar institution and a cherished way of life. >> nevertheless, we must abolish t. >> rutledge ultimately did sign the declaration of independence, the youngest man to do so. when you have an issue where racial politics has been around so long, is it pos thain is what is driving maybe some of the stuff and maybe not particu

this slid to the south. a stall out just to the south of the city today. going to serve as some energy to move up from the deep south. we are going to see some showers tomorrow. today, hit and miss activity at best. the chances of showers object about 30%. right now, in about the upper 60's across the board. cooler air will provide that front. a slight kwhans of showers here today. more clouds than sun around balt. the same applies to ocean city. winding out of the northeast 5-20 10 miles an hour. a record high set back in 1991. the record low set in 1873. the average high is 78. 57, the average low. we'll be above that because of the clouds tonight. low pressure to our west. it's go to be stall out mostly cloudy by about 5:00 in the afternoon. keep the umbrella handy. here you can see on the seven-day forecast. mostly cloudy skies throughout. much cooler. partly cloudy skies to 78 on friday. saturday and sunday, mid 70's. partly cloudy skies and gorgeous weekend for us. the train will impact travel for us. we are looking at a pretty nice ride elsewhere. v

i live in the south and i've seen the south come a long way. and i've seen the rest of the country share the south's attitude toward minority groups, particularly african-americans. that racism still exists. and i think it's a bubble up to the surface because of a belief among many white people, not just in the south but around the country, that african-americans are not qualified to lead this great country. it's an abominable circumstance and griefs me and concerns me deeply. >> continuing that point, the former president is also weighing in on congressman joe wilson, claiming his recent outburst directed at the president was an act, quote, based on racism. the south carolina republican who yelled, you lie, during the president's address to congress last week, blamed the eruption on his heightened emotion over the health care debate. president carter, said, it was rooted in fear office a black president. on tuesday, wilson was reprim d reprimanded by the house. the vote came largely along party lines, although the resolution signals a breach i

lot of showers in the deep south. and for the most part, i think the showers are going to stay to the south of us over the weekend. the front should drop south of us tonight and then just suppress all of this to our south for a while. i do think next week, though, some of this moisture will throw some clouds our way and perhaps even some showers our way. in the meantime, we are in pretty good shape. the front itself is still north of us. it did produce some showers north into new york state and pennsylvania but i think they're going to dry out before they get here. we'll do zone forecast. all six zones are on our website at wusa9.com. check out our interactive radar. that's pretty cool too. 74 in winchester. 57 in leesburg tomorrow. -- 75 in leesburg tomorrow. upper 70s for woodbridge. downtown mid to upper 70s with sunshine. 76 in bowie. there will be a little chop on the bay, particularly early tomorrow. there is a small craft advisory until noon. but 75 for annapolis. that is not bad. 75 for lusby. not bad either.
