Famed economist Ben Stein recently called out President Barack Obama as the most racist president in the history of the U.S. and claimed that he is playing the race card to get blacks to vote Democrat in Tuesday's midterm elections.

Stein spoke to Fox News and said that the Democratic president is using rhetoric to convince black voters that the Republican Party is working against them.

"The president is the most racist president there has ever been in America," Stein said. "He is purposely trying to use race to divide Americans."

Stein added that Obama and other Democrats are trying to portray Republicans as anti-black.

"What the White House is trying to do is racialize all politics and they're especially trying to tell the African-American voter that the GOP is against letting them have a chance at a good life in this economy, and that's just a complete lie," he explained.

Stein's calling Obama the most racist president in U.S. history implies that he is more racially bias than the 12 U.S. presidents who owned slaves (eight of which did so while still in office), Vanity Fair reports.

For example, Former President Richard Nixon once said that "Jews are just a very aggressive and abrasive and obnoxious personality," and that, when it came to African Americans, "what has to happen is they have to be, frankly, inbred."

It's important to note that Stein was a lawyer and speechwriter for Nixon.

"I watch with fascination -- with incredible fascination -- all the stories about how the Democratic politicians, especially Hillary (Clinton), are trying to whip up the African-American vote and say, ‘Oh, the Republicans have policies against black people in terms of the economy.' But there are no such policies," Stein continued to Fox News.

The economist called it an "outrageous lie" for Democrats to tell minorities that the economy is working against them.

"The idea that the Republicans are making life difficult for black people is just nonsense, just absolute nonsense," he said.
