It kinda wraps it up in a nutshell.
Being maligned has not stopped Rev. Peterson.
I think that is the effect of telling the truth as you see it, simply...without softening it...it blows people away.
Yes he does, and I admire him for being brave enough to tell it. He actually cares about people and wants to see them succeed.
I can't believe there are still people out there who listen to one word the poverty pimp Jesse Jackson says. Jackson feeds on the poverty while not giving a word of advice or encouragement to people to pull themselves up.
He's breathing and thriving. He's sueing Jesse Jackson. Rev. Peterson is like the hound of heaven when it comes to waking up his people!
Not to worry, he's been at this for 15 years.
"Even those with more money, expect someone else to take care of things."
Not the ones who are my long time friends. These people are ones who say, "Get out of my way, I wanted this completed before the wife gets grey hair.
"How many blacks do you see helping with the relief effort."
I have two Black friends, both are executives in a large corporation who have taken their 30 day vacations to go down South and help out where they are needed. I don't know if they have yet, but from 20+ years of friendship, it wouldn't surprise me if they don't each end up giving six months wages to private individuals they determine worthy.
Are they the exception amongst their race? Yes, I believe they are. Exceptional men with exceptional wives and fine children who would shoot a looter faster than I would.
Don't use too broad of a brush.
Hi Agthorn! I remember that picture of you and Mrs Agthorn!
Hi blam!!
I didn't say no blacks were helping, just a very small minority. I will say that the blacks I know that are doing something, that have made something of their lives and helped their people are great! Truly great men and women, Jesse Peterson, Clarence Thomas, Booker T. Washington!
Hi darlin'. Haven't talked with you in a while...I'm on my way to bed. Keep up the good work with BOND.

Sarcasm on? Sarcasm off? Or what??

#4 Says it all.
I blame the left for making promises decades ago.
To desperate people who were in terrible straits in this country.
Dogs set upon people marching for the right to vote.
The schoolhouse door blocked.
The solution destroyed the very people it was designed to help, proving the road to hell was paved with good intentions.
These days, I doubt the intentions are good coming from the left. They simply want to continue to exploit the poor for votes.
Thanks for the ping abigail!
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson is the man ~ Bump!
Well said oldfriend.
Pretty sad state of affairs.
It's clear the left is nearly hysterical with the President's plan to begin a new paradigm.
