Black Conservatives Repudiate Jesse Jackson at MLK Day Rally [Repudiation of Jessie Jackson]

African-Americans who oppose the liberal black agenda are organizing what they call a "National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson" in Los Angeles on Monday.

Members of Project 21 said the rally, now in its fifth year, would take place outside of Jackson's Los Angeles offices.

"This annual repudiation of Jackson's activities and his right to be considered a reliable representative of the thoughts and aspirations of black Americans...is timed to coincide with the federal observance of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.," Project 21 said in a press release.

The Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny, a group founded and led by Project 21 member Jesse Lee Peterson, is organizing the rally.

The Rev. Peterson said the rally is intended to "show the contrast between Dr. King's dream and Jesse Jackson's nightmare."

The rally is having the intended effect, organizers say. As B.O.N.D. noted on its website, "Jesse Jackson has suffered a significant loss of prestige since B.O.N.D. launched its inaugural repudiation event in January of 2000 ."

Among other things, black conservatives such as Peterson say they resent Jesse Jackson's "corporate shakedowns that benefit his own political groups," his adulterous behavior, and his criticism of the war on terrorism.

Peterson, in fact, is suing Jesse Jackson and some of Jackson's aides. The lawsuit alleges that Jackson and others "surrounded and assaulted" Rev. Peterson during a public meeting in December 2001. Peterson said oral arguments in the case would begin on Feb. 26.

Project 21 is an African-American leadership network that often opposes the liberal agenda of the leading civil rights organizations. B.O.N.D. describes itself as a national, nonprofit religious organization dedicated to "rebuilding the family by rebuilding the man."

I wonder how it went? I didn't know Rev. Peterson had filed a suit. Interesting to see how that will play out.

Good for Peterson - take the fight back to hi-Jackson and kick his thug @ss but good.

Bad for poor Jackson. Couldn't even make the B-sqaud this election season. Maybe the protection racket PUSH will dry up and blow away soon too. Maybe even Jaqueline Lavinia will move on to another sugar daddy soon...maybe Rev. Al?

Ok everybody. I'm so sorry I had to pull my thread Monday. My fault. But here are the real, authentic pictures of the 5th Annual National Day of Repudiation of JESSE JACKSON and the last repudiation of Jesse Jackson since he is dust. According to Rev. Peterson we are setting our sights on NAACP now. But we had such a good time at the Repudiation I know you will enjoy the pictures...so without further ado (as rebuildus would say)...

Thanks for the link.

Considering the mind boggling criminal empire that Jackson ran (runs), it is amazing that these kinds of things remain so low on the national radar. Many other national leaders from Ralph Abernathy to Roy Innis and many, many other black journalists and civic and commmunity leaders have repudiated this scum bag.

Kind of interesting, too, that Jackson is so-o-o close to so-o-o many liberal left leaders, the RAT party and the mainstream national media organs. Almost makes a body think about conspiracies.
