According to ''The Real Jimmy Carter'' by Steven Hayward, [[Jimmy Carter]] did nothing to help the desegregation cause in the South and sometimes did the opposite, and like Bill Clinton, endorsed racist candidates for political offices.

Carter actively campaigned fir his former vice-president, [[Walter Mondale]] against [[Ronald Reagan]] in 1984 under the [[Confederate flag]]. [[Jesse Jackson]] refused to release his delegates in 1984 to [[Gary Hart]], Clinton's old boss from the [[McGovern]] campaign of 1972. Jackson, the first African-American to win states in a major party primary, questioned the disparity between his vote total and delegate count, but even Hart sided with the DNC's rigging the primary rules.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/1984/05/20/us/disparity-between-jackson-s-vote-and-delegate-count-vexes-party.html?pagewanted=all DISPARITY BETWEEN JACKSON'S VOTE AND DELEGATE COUNT VEXES PARTY], By DAVID E.
