(CNN)Former President Jimmy Carter became the latest -- and final -- living former president to weigh in on the death of George Floyd, who was killed while in police custody last week.
Read the statement:
As a white male of the South, I know all too well the impact of segregation and injustice to African Americans. As a politician, I felt a responsibility to bring equity to my state and our country. In my 1971 inaugural address as Georgia's governor, I said: "The time for racial discrimination is over." With great sorrow and disappointment, I repeat those words today, nearly five decades later. Dehumanizing people debases us all; humanity is beautifully and almost infinitely diverse. The bonds of our common humanity must overcome the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices.
Since leaving the White House in 1981, Rosalynn and I have strived to advance human rights in countries around the world. In this quest, we have seen that silence can be as deadly as violence. People of power, privilege, and moral conscience must stand up and say "no more" to a racially discriminatory police and justice system, immoral economic disparities between whites and blacks, and government actions that undermine our unified democracy. We are responsible for creating a world of peace and equality for ourselves and future generations.
We need a government as good as its people, and we are better than this.

In their 90s they are still active in Habitat for Humanity. 
Not a better spokesperson for the time.
The white evangelical Christians strongly supported him too... UNTIL he proposed the idea of religious groups paying taxes if they continued to be unfair to minorities.
Then guys like Falwell went to war, and their PHONY reasons for being outraged at him and the Democrats eventually trickled down to evangelical church leaders and their congregations.
Edit:
Look at this 1976 electoral college map, with Carter winning the states in blue. Then bear in mind that it happened AFTER the Civil Rights bills of the 60's AND after Roe v. Wade. The major political shift in terms of religion happened after church "leaders" turned against Carter and the Democrats (related to them paying taxes).
