Is there 1 white man who has any courage?

December 16, 2006

By Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson

And I sought for a man among them, that should … stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

– Ezekiel 22:30

Why are white Americans afraid to speak truth to black Americans?

Let me start with a tale of two Michaels:

Michael Richards, the "Seinfeld" co-star who lashed out at a black heckler, repeatedly calling the man a "ni---r," has since made numerous apologies to black Americans.

He apologized on David Letterman's "Late Show" – but that forum wasn't "black enough" – so Richards was forced to grovel on Jesse Jackson's radio show.

The black man Richards insulted has retained Gloria Allred. Next month, he will express his contrition in front of a retired judge who will determine how much money Richards should dole out for hurling the "N" word.

Then there's the Nov. 25 shooting in New York City, where NYPD officers shot Sean Bell, a 23-year-old black man outside a strip club in Queens when he tried to ram an officer with his car. The incident has outraged Rev. Al Sharpton ("the Riot King") and other black leaders.

Sharpton is threatening to lead a massive pre-Christmas march along Manhattan's Fifth Avenue – stating, "We're going shopping for justice this Christmas."

Let's not forget that Sharpton gave us the Tawana Brawley hoax and provoked the Crown Heights riot in the Hasidic (Jewish) section of Brooklyn.

Why should anyone listen to this hypocrite?

After the police shooting, Michael (the other Michael) Bloomberg, the mayor of NYC, met with Sharpton and other black racist agitators and prematurely criticized the deadly shooting, calling it "inexplicable" and "unacceptable." Can you say "cave"?

What has happened to white men in this country?

White men used to be tough. John Wayne, Charlton Heston and Ronald Reagan exemplified a strong male image. But because of the successful attack – by secular progressives like NOW (National Organization of Women who Hate Men), the ACLU, homosexual groups and liberal black leaders – most white males have been emasculated.

Years of scapegoating and charges of racism have intimidated whites to the point that they no longer speak out on issues concerning race and morality.

After Dr. King's assassination in 1968, Jesse Jackson showed up in front of the news cameras holding a bloody sweater. This is all it took for him to be promoted by the elite media as the "heir apparent" to King.

This despite Jackson's repeated falling out with Dr. King's organization, the SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference).

In 1971, Ralph Abernathy, King's successor at SCLC, suspended Jackson for "administrative improprieties and repeated acts of violation of organizational policy." Jackson then left the group and started Operation PUSH.

The mainstream media keep wicked black leaders like Jackson in power. Whenever there's a racial issue in this country Jackson or Sharpton are on the airwaves to "blame whitey."

The media and false black leaders succeeded in changing the allegiance of many black Americans – from a pro-family, pro-God people to a government-dependant people as we witnessed during Katrina.

White people are angry at Jackson and the phony civil-rights leaders who have made a living off of blaming them for the problems of blacks. And they're angry about the double standard when it comes to racial issues – and for not being allowed to openly express their disagreements with blacks.

But they remain silent.

This has resulted in the phenomenon of white fear – fear of criticizing blacks – no matter how corrupt, immoral or evil the perpetrator.

Since whites are not allowed to express themselves, they either cower down like Michael Bloomberg, or they lash out in anger like Michael Richards. Then Jesse Jackson swoops in and points to the overreaction as evidence of white racism – to exploit the situation for profit.

White Americans need to stand up for truth with strength and patience. If we can find white people with courage, we can change this country – and the tale of two Michaels would have a happy ending.

What is courage? Well, I can tell you what courage is not: 1) Courage is not resenting blacks and complaining to your white friends behind closed doors. 2) It's not tolerating black misconduct, and 3) Courage is not adopting the divisive, politically correct term "African American."

As for black Americans, they need to repudiate their "leaders" and let go of past grievances, lest they self-destruct.

It will take decent whites and blacks to come together to live out the promise of Dr. King's dream. Then, America will finally become the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Jesse Peterson has had to put up with alot of madness but it has just made him more patient and stronger. It's good to here the simplicity.

[Revolting cat!]

Somebody out there has to raise the issue, like the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, in order to make such a discussion acceptable here. But to see the example of what he's talking about, of white guilt in full bloom, you oughta read the Michael Richanrds threads, and the flaming there of anyone who departed an inch from the white mea culpa pose. Shelby Steele has a book on the subject. I suspect that my ancestors, 2,000 years ago, were slaves too. Do I get a pass from all you bleeding hearts? Can I murder my ex and an innocent bystander and get away with it? Pretty pleeeeeeze!

I myself was recently fired for speaking up. Albeit in a moment of anger. I emailed a California government official that emailed me that EDD was looking for bilingual workers, that "isn't this America and wasn't our official language English?".

I feel bad for you, but truthfully that was a pretty stupid thing for you to do.

Bilingual workers are needed all over this world, and especially in a country as international and welcoming to immigrants as the USA.

Is there 1 white man who has any courage?

I know plenty of white men with twice the courage you got Jesse.

They're too busy running the world to be caught up in the petty racist nonsense you think is so important.

[abigail2]

Believe me I know it was stupid. It was just a moments' anger...However, I disagree with you. I was referring to the fact that the United States government should not be in the business of translating for people who have come here. Private companies can do what they want, but the government's job is not to translate to every parasite that comes over here. I was a job developer for the blind. They have enough strikes against them without having to learn a language that the illegals won't learn themselves.

We may have once be "welcoming to immigrants" but I guarantee you that is not the case with criminals who break into our country without an invitation. We are not "international" we are America.

[Uncle Meat]

here's a high profile case here in Savannah involving a white girl who was slaughtered by 3 black kids during a robbery.That so called group of misfits who call themselves "The New Black Panther Party"were here protesting for the defendants involved.To me having that bunch sticking their nose in almost admits your guilt.They said they're there to make sure they get a free trial,no they're not,they're there to intimidate.The leader of that bunch has the worst "kill whitey" mentallity I've seen in a long time,yet he's been giving a lot of airtime lately and always speaks in a threatening manner to any "cracker"that raises his ire.

Bill Cosby is being called an "Oreo Cookie" by the blacks he attempted to reach with his recent message so he MAY partially qualify for the honor.

Bill Cosby is being called an "Oreo cookie" by those the white liberal establishment deemed as leaders of the black community, which is Rev. Peterson's point.

Just imagine how perceptions would change if the dino-media refused to quote, ignored, made-to-disappear the leftist blacks and played up people like Cosby and Peteson and a whole host of others.

It is "the" question we have to ask ourselves. Our politically correct society is really the result of cowardace in my opinion.

. . .defintely some cowardice going on here, for sure. . .PC creates it. . .and so PC is an insidious but effective 'weapon-of-choice' for the Left to affect cultural - political change. It seems a subtlety; but it's reality is precisely the opposite. The soft run of water, can alter a mountain landscape. . .

Think the 'will' to aquiece stems more from our 'natural adaption' mechanism and because PC appeals to one's sense of fairness; appeals to a 'good'; it's inherent 'evil' is obscurred. . .and most do not even realize what they have given up. . .

Fortunately; not everyone is affected by the same degree. . .or at the same time. . .so there is always another voice to warn of the dangers from the path from which we have come and the path that follows.

We need now, more voices warning; and a population recognizing that it needs a 'wake-up call'. . .PC induced, America is close to sleep-wallking on the ultimate path of self-destruction.

Many people still have a tremendous amount of courage. It is the timing of the use of that courage that matters. What does it benefit a man if he has the nerve to stand up in front of a crowd of 200-300 racist, hateful looking-for-a-reason to kill liberals/whites/blacks/hispanics whatever and tells the truth? He dies soon after.

However, when one is able to earn the support and respect of thousands and then makes a move, the liberal left and the minions that follow them can be silenced forever and it won't take one curse word.

Waiting for the opportunity to completely finish the job. Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin.

Se me olividó decirles que estoy casado con una Mexicana. Nuestros hijos son una mezcla de anglo y sangre de Indio/Español. Leo, escribo y hablo el Español con fluencia. No importa la raza que sea o el idioma que hable, sino el comportamiento que demuestro. Los encargados han quitado lo que pongo aquí y no he usado maldiciones.

No solo los radicals son el enemigo, pero a veces los de su propio casa se equivocan en lo que hacen contra uno. Muchos tienen valor en esta epoca, pero no vamos a desperdiciar lo que se puede hacer por creernos machos en vez de creernos responsables por corregir lo malo. Tradúce ésto y dime si sea racista o no.

[thackney]

I simply have no voice in the real world. Sharpton and Jackson are racist pieces of garbage. There I said it, but who heard?

I heard it. But you didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.

"Years of scapegoating and charges of racism have intimidated whites to the point that they no longer speak out on issues concerning race and morality."

Disagree. Not a correct argument. I am your local white dude that just happened to work with guys from Eritrea and Nigeria. We got along just fine. Africans are laughing at us for even discussing this. If there is a nice Black woman out there with a warm little heart, call me. I'll try. I got women from 4 civilizations worked up so far:):)

Hi abigail, Molon Labe and Merry Christmas to you, too!!

Until He Comes...

[blackie]

~~ and clever to boot! >:-}

[Riverman94610]

You nailed it.Blacks don't want to hear a bunch of PC pablum from a bunch of liberal sycophants.They want to you to come real or don't come at all.
I spend a lot of time out in ghetto schools.These kids can spot a BS artist a mile away.They can tell those that are comfortable with them and those that are acting scaredy cat.And they treat you accordingly.

Are we oppressed now? Give me a break.

Saw yer self page. Cool truck. Cool bike.

I was in a trendy nightclub last night where mostly 20 somethings hang out. I mean the ultra privileged, white, big city suburb type. While trying my best to have a conversation with anyone willing to talk to me and listening to so many braggards talking about where they went to college(I went to grad school for structural engineering but at a no-name school and am not impressed with frat house boys with BA degrees from party schools and am way too old to reminisce about college days anyway), I had an epiphany.

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those that grew up in child safety carseats, wear/wore bicycle helmets, knee pads, and have a special outfit for every kind of outdoor activity they engage in...and the rest of us that don't and never did.

"Please point out Peterson's "over-reaction" in the above article."

What???
I was referring to Richards blowing his top after several negroes were taunting him.
