Rev. Peterson is the example of a wise man, who happens to be black, yet the black community is so enthralled by the Jackasson and Shrlington that Rev. Peterson is ignored by the majority of his race. Thankfully, his wisdom is well suited to any race and I find his comments on a vast array of subjects to be insightful and are much valued by me. And most at FR.
I find that statement to be incorrect MHGinTN. I am black and I and others that I know don't give a thought to Jackson, nor Sharpton until they show up on the scene. I know of no one near and dear to me or in my circle that holds either one to high esteem.
I do agree with Jesse Peterson's article regarding this matter.
