It was thirteen years ago that I realized the reason for my failure in life was not racism but my own hatred. When I discovered and overcame my hatred, I also discovered the number that had been done on me by Jesse Jackson and others, and the despicably low and evil nature of this man. The man I had once thought a hero I now saw to be one with the devil, committed to keeping blacks angry for his own personal gain of wealth and power. I formed BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny, with the purpose of rebuilding the family by rebuilding the man, especially the black man, as he has been the most victimized by so-called leaders such as Jackson. My hearts desire became fighting for truth. This additionally meant fighting against evil, and for this reason we at BOND have long been fighting against Jackson. For years I have spoken out against this man, showing him to be a racist demagogue and problem profiteer who would rather the black community parish in self-destruction than lose any of his power base. This past week I finally got the chance to confront this man face to face.
On Monday, December 10, I attended a Los Angeles Trade Bureau Forum Meeting held at the L.A. Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of the meeting was to unveil Toyotas 21st Century Diversity Strategy, a result of a Jackson shakedown of the Toyota company. In 2002, Toyota will be giving $700 million worth in contracts to minority businesses. However, it was implied by Jesse Jackson and others at the meeting, and not corrected by Toyota officials in attendance, that in order to receive these contracts, businesses should pay anywhere from $250 to $2500 annually to Jacksons International Trade Bureau, essentially making him the gatekeeper to these benefits. Jesse Jackson and Irv Miller, Toyotas Vice President for Corporate Communications, were the featured speakers. Over two hundred black business owners and representatives were in attendance.
Jacksons speech contained such choice excerpts as, I have been on the red squad list by [Attorney General John] Ashcroft and others; theyre after us Theyre using bin Laden as an excuse to come after us. We [U.S.] gave bin Laden 60 million [dollars]. If were going to fight terrorists, we must also fight the Klan Locking people out of economic opportunity is a form of economic terrorism. Jackson also stated that minorities could not make it in America on talent alone, and that they must join his Trade Bureau or they could miss out on hundreds of millions in corporate dollars.
Following Jacksons speech, Toyotas representative, Miller, gave an approximately twenty minute presentation, then opened up to questions. I stood up and asked Miller, As the president of a nonprofit conservative organization, BOND, Im concerned that our young people will be locked out of any training programs offered by Toyota because of our conservative beliefs. How are you going to make sure that organizations like ours are not discriminated against by Rainbow/PUSH and its members?
To put it simply, all hell broke loose. I was booed and told to sit down and keep quiet. Judge Greg Mathis, host of the TV show Judge Mathis, hollered at me, You must be watching too much Bill OReilly. Indeed. I was called stupid by Carl Dickerson, host of the event. Others were questioning why I would say such a thing, do such a thing, and so on.
For the rest of the article: http://www.washingtondispatch.com/article_712.shtml
No more Toyotas for me, either.
"Jackson constantly talks about the strong presence of the Ku Klux Klan in modern society. Last Monday I saw the real Klan of today. Instead of drawling white southerners in white robes, the Klan are now black thugs dressed in suits. Both intolerant, both hate-mongers, and both committed to keeping black America down."
Guys, This from the article, and Jesse Peterson is stone cold dead on! Peace and love, George.
Absolutely correct. 'Innocent bystander' made some great points concerning this topic the other day...we need to quit whining, because we have brought all of this nonsense down on ourselves...we let Jesse Jackson get away with this, because no one has the b*lls to take him to the woodshed. I own a Toyota, and I am in the market for a new car. That new car will NOT be a Toyota, because I will not do business with a company that caves to the heavy-handed tactics of extortion promulgated by Jackson's 'black mafia'. (Kudos to whoever used that expression on another thread.) For every American business that caves to extortion, Jackson lines up another in his sights. Someone needs to say "Enough!" Reverend Peterson has stated such. Will anyone have the GUTS to join him?
Toyota pickups are really big in some markets. Maybe we need to get the word out to whats left of the Taliban and those Warlords in Mogadishu, Somalia to join in the boycott. LOL
You can bank on it! Excellent advice; Jackson got in the face of Toyota, and those of us opposed to his extortionist agenda need to do the same. Toyota can figure out the bottom line from there.
