It is a big thing when a black man stands up against the media propaganda, against the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton/NAACP machine, and against the vast majority of his people who will not give up gubmint handouts without a fight.

This guy has received death threats for saying what he believes, from his own people.

That is why more people don't do it, and that is why it is admirable.

I've got news for you, it's a bigger thing when a white man speaks up. When a white man stands up for his race ESPECIALLY OVER THE LAST 30 years, blacks come after you, white liberals come after you, and the media comes after you. Your own Republican party comes after you. In my own world, I have never apologized for being white and when I speak for my race I'm called a racist, a redneck and a bigot but it hasn't stopped me. I remember 30 years ago reading an article in TV Guide by Bill Cosby. Cosby said he was not anti white he was however, pro black. I feel the same way about my race. I'm not anti black, I'm not anti Jewish I'm pro white and pro Christian. That's my heritage and I'm proud of it. I applaud Jesse Lee Peterson for his stand on the topic but I don't seek the permission of any black man or anyone else for my stand on my heritage and race. Like a lot of other folks who put their finger in the wind before speaking and I see it in this Free Republic blog.
