Rev. Peterson: Fox Insults Blacks…By Meeting With Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton
BOND (Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny) ^ | May 18, 2005 | Ermias Alemayehu

Posted on 05/18/2005 10:17:11 AM PDT by NewDestiny

Los Angeles- Mexican President Vicente Fox issued a statement yesterday saying that he “regrets” insulting Blacks by saying Mexicans in the United States do the jobs that “even Blacks” won’t do. Facing international criticism, Fox invited Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton to Mexico to discuss ways to improve the strained relationship between Blacks and Hispanics. Fox is scheduled to meet with Jackson today in Mexico City. Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, founder and president of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, released the following statement urging Fox to withdraw his invitation to meet with the discredited civil rights leaders:

“President Vicente Fox should not meet with Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. These self- appointed leaders don’t speak for clear-thinking Blacks. They are two of the most racially divisive men in America. Fox’s willingness to meet with Black racists is adding insult to injury.

Furthermore, if Fox wants to improve relations between Blacks and Hispanics he should stop undermining U.S. immigration policies and efforts to secure the borders. Blacks resent seeing their community hospitals, schools, and jobs being taken over by illegal aliens from Mexico.”

BOND (Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny) is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization founded for the purpose of “rebuilding the family by rebuilding the man.” For the past fifteen years, BOND has been helping families, and individuals of all races overcome some of life’s most challenging problems.

An argument can be made that Fox's meeting with these sharks is an insult. But Fox's own words are more of an insult to me.

I agree,both are things that are disgusting.Here in the Rock(Little Rock),we are seeing a huge influx of obviously illegal mexicans.Most are taking bricklaying jobs and the like in trades previously dominated by both blacks and whites.Dealing with them is frustrating since none professes to know English.Whether they do know or not is the question.

Say 'dollar' and then they speak fluent English.

"An argument can be made that Fox's meeting with these sharks is an insult."

Just what I was thinking before I read your comments.

Reverend Peterson has a way of reaching down and clearing up the muck the MSM has made. Thank you Rev. Peterson!

Personally, I love it that Fox has brought Jackson and Sharpton down on his head.

Lou Dobbs got testy during a joint interview of Jesse Jackson and MALDEF spokesperson Ann Marie Tallman regarding their meeting with Vicente' Fox. It wasn't Jackson who ticked him off, but Tallman's continued attempts to sell a line of BS:

DOBBS: Ann Marie Tallman, what are your thoughts after you met with him? The president of Mexico refuses to apologize for these comments. What is your sense of things?

TALLMAN: Our sense of things is that it is a wonderful opportunity to reaffirm and renew our coalitions here in the United States. Our organizations focus on protecting the rights and promoting the rights of workers, the working poor, Latinos, African- Americans and all people who are interested in a fair and just America. So we think it was a wonderful opportunity for us to achieve that objective.

DOBBS: Well, this is a man who has, in point of fact, degraded his own people, aside from African-Americans in this country. But he degrades them with policies that requires them to flee his borders and cross into our country, to eliminate economic opportunity. To depress workers rights. And to do nothing for the environment at all, Ann Marie. What would you think could be done with such a man, such a leader?

TALLMAN: MALDEF's focus is on domestic policy here in the United States. We work every day in coalition to achieve important legislative changes like comprehensive immigration reform.

It will be important for all workers and to recognize the contributions of immigrants actually who provide a lot of productivity in our country. Three quarters of all undocumented immigrants actually pay Social Security tax. Over the next 50 years, $400 billion in present value will be provided and paid into our Social Security system by immigrants.

DOBBS: Over what period of time?

TALLMAN: Over the next 50 years.

DOBBS: Over 50 years.

TALLMAN: Which is a great way to help save our Social Security system.

DOBBS: Well, since you brought it up, Ann Marie let me just put another...

TALLMAN: More importantly, Lou, I think...

DOBBS: They cost $50 billion to provide Social Security services...incarceration, depressed wages by $200 billion a year. Present value notwithstanding.

TALLMAN: No, that's not true.

DOBBS: Well, actually it is true. You may have a different perspective, but it's absolutely true.

TALLMAN: The president's economic report, what we know is that immigrants on average over their lifetime will contribute -- will contribute...

DOBBS: Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm sorry. I'm confused. I though you were talking about illegal immigrants.

TALLMAN: Will contribute $1800 more in taxes than they will actually receive in benefits. And undocumented immigrants.

DOBBS: Let's clarify the terms, I thought you were talking about illegal immigrants. Because that's the only issue as far as I'm concerned.

TALLMAN: Well, in terms of undocumented immigrants we know they pay into the Social Security system.

JACKSON: Lou, the issue there seems to me there are 10 million undocumented workers. Somebody is hiring them and sending for them.

DOBBS: Oh, absolutely.

JACKSON: 5 million who are legal, but do not have citizenship status. So, they are a major factor in our economy. It's amusing, when I was working Caesar Chavez in Calexico, California and Washingtonville (ph) and those farm workers were organizing as a union to get (INAUDIBLE) to get health insurance, the big growers then sent for the workers from Mexico to come to undercut the organizing process.

DOBBS: I was there on what was called the "wet line" in the early '70s. I watched Caesar Chavez trying to form the United Farm Workers Union. I watched the green carders being stoned as they came across the borders. The Big Growers Association bringing in illegals, in point of fact, to break the UFW. But that has nothing to do with what is happening today?

JACKSON: You're putting more focus on those who are fleeing out of desperation and poverty. After all, malechadoras are in some sense our creation, the NAFTA and CAFTA one-sided trade agreements. I mean, as we export capital and export jobs and import cheap product from China, that's Wal-Mart, and import cheap labor, there's a guesswork of building the U.S. Congress even today.

So, I think if we're going -- it's not just a Fox forcing -- this is the U.S. policy. Bringing cheap labor is really U.S. policy.

DOBBS: Well, it's not U.S. policy. It's an abdication on the part of this administration, this government, this Congress, and both parties to enforce immigration laws. And I think one of the most callous disregards for our national security in disregarding our border security. Would you both agree with that? Ann Marie?

TALLMAN: Comprehensive immigration reform will be the balance between securing our borders, national security, recognizing the contribution of immigrants. There's 1.75 million job deficit in the prime working ages of 24 to 34 years in this country without immigration. We need immigrants.

DOBBS: You keep saying immigration. Ann Marie, let me say, you haven't been on the broadcast before. I hope you will come back. On this broadcast we really -- we are enthusiastic for immigration. We cherish immigration as a great tradition of this country. The issue is illegal immigration, illegal.

TALLMAN: That's why comprehensive immigration reform will ensure that there's a legal mechanism for those undocumented people that live in this country today. As Reverend Jackson had indicated, there are 10 million undocumented people who are contributing, who are paying taxes, who are paying Social Security taxes, who are paying state taxes.

DOBBS: Ann Marie, if you really believe that illegal aliens being hired at exploited wage levels by exploitive employers in this country are providing a broad economic benefit, then you are missing the point that the benefit they are providing is for those employers, not for the taxpayers, not for U.S. citizen, whether Hispanic or any other race. Reverend Jackson let me ask you this.

JACKSON: We are exporting middle class jobs and exporting capital.

DOBBS: Absolutely. Absolutely. And that's -- the foundation of what we're talking about. But at the same time, I'm sure you are both familiar with the PEW Hispanic Center study showing that those illegal aliens, in point of fact, although they didn't break them out, but that's the bulk of immigration in this country, that is illegal immigration, the jobs that are being taken are those of poor Hispanics.

So we're creating a royal mess at the lowest wage levels in our society. And the fact that you met with Mexican President Fox, Reverend Jackson, what did he say about his desire to end that? And to build a better life for his people so we can focus on American citizens?

JACKSON: As long as our government policy exports our jobs and exports capital and then makes provisions to send for the worker. In fact, we keep saying illegal immigration. But when I look at 10 million undocumented workers and 5 million legal but who are not yet citizens. 15 million didn't come across the river one night. That is in fact U.S. policy.

What do we call exporting our own jobs to meet malechadoras. I mean, if NAFTA and CAFTA has dignity. Trading at the Wal-Mart jobs from China has dignity, the corporate thieves are really undercutting the American economy. That is who is taking the middle class in our country.

You know, the good side of this is on the one hand you have on one day, Villaraigosa wins the mayor's position in L.A, because blacks and browns come together and don't fight each other. In the same -- two days later, Dominique Ridder (ph), a 15-year-old kid...

DOBBS: I've got to be honest with you, Jesse. As a white fellow, I'm starting to feel a little left out. You know, we have poor white people, we've got poor blacks, we've got poor Hispanics. Why should this be so ethnocentric?

JACKSON: And the reason they are poor, because we are not reinvesting in the American company.

DOBBS: There you go.

JACKSON: The fact is, there are more poor whites than there are blacks and browns. In Appalachia, a coal miner dies every six hour from black lung disease. And so the idea is that we're searching for cheap labor. We're sending for labor to bring it here or take it out, jobs there. We need a real reinvest in America campaign.

DOBBS: I couldn't agree with you more. Invest in America. How about we call it invest in Americans.

TALLMAN: Absolutely. That's what comprehensive reform does.

DOBBS: We thank you for being here. Both of you please come back soon. I know you have more to say. And we're out of time. Please come back in the next week or so. We'll talk some more.

#10.

Hell is freezing over folks.

Here you have one of the most liberal socialist bloodsuckers walking erect and sucking air at the same time (Jessie Jackson) explaining to a MSM liberal champion (Lou Dobbs) how IMPORTING CHEAP LABOR FROM MEXICO IS (and has been for many years) U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY

Lou Dobbs really does get it. Sickening, but true - even Jessie Jackson gets it!

This is an important find because it shows the full circle of both how even liberals realize that American business is exploiting all ethnic sectors (Black, Hispanic, White) by flooding the market with cut-rate and dirt-bottom cheap illegal alien labor while for decades the government has looked the other way and the fat-cat (lawbreaking) sleazy entrepreneurs who are driving the demand for all this are laughing all the way to the bank.

At whose expense?

The absolute clarity that Reverend Jesse Peterson speaks with is amazing!

Very true.

Fox's willingness to meet with Black racists is only proving that he is hoping to buy the Blacks into silence. Both Sharpton and Jackson are on the take. Being crafty and devious, and knowing American politicians, Fox knows they will gladly sell out their country for money, as many in the Congress have already done.

I don't know if George Bush realizes or even cares that the mood of Americans - both black and white, is growing uglier by the day because he is ignoring and promoting millions upon millions of illegal Mexicans in this country.

Thanks for the ping! Rev. Peterson nails it. Furthermore, Fox's apology is along the same line as Hanoi Jane's. They're sorry they got caught. Not only did Fox insult Blacks, he insulted his own citizens. But then again, he does that every day.

Jesse JACKSON certainly doesn't speak for black Americans. I wonder how much he got for his "meeting" with Fox (besides a photo-op, I mean).

The majority of Americans of all colors are sick of illegal aliens stealing jobs, medical care, welfare, schooling, food stamps, child care, roads, housing, they're stealing whole enchilada.

Bush turns a blind eye to the mess. Sickening!
