REV. PETERSON CONFRONTS JESSE JACKSON (BOND LEADER ASSAULTED AT TOYOTA MEETING IN L.A.)
BOND ^ | December 11, 2001 | Ermias Alemayehu

Los Angeles - Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny (BOND) Founder and President Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson was assaulted by supporters of Rev. Jesse Jackson (head of Rainbow/PUSH Coalition) yesterday at a Los Angeles Trade Bureau Forum Meeting held at the L.A. Chamber of Commerce. The meeting between Jesse Jackson and Toyota Motor Sales officials was the unveiling of Toyota’s “21st Century Diversity Strategy”. Featured speakers were Jesse Jackson and Irv Miller, Toyota’s Vice-President For Corporate Communications. In attendance were upwards of two hundred black business owners and representatives.

Rev. Jesse Jackson stated in his opening remarks, “I have been on the ‘red squad list’ by [Attorney General John] Ashcroft and others, they’re after us… They’re using bin Laden as an excuse to come after us, we [U.S.] gave bin Laden 60 million, if we’re going to fight terrorists, we must also fight the Klan… Locking people out of economic opportunity is a form of economic terrorism,” said Jackson. Also, citing as an example of his organization’s efforts to help “disadvantaged” youth, Jackson announced that he has invited as his special guests to the Fourth Annual Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Awards Dinner to be held tonight in Beverly Hills, members of the “Decatur Seven,” the black students who were expelled for viciously attacking fellow students at a high school football game in Decatur, IL. Jackson had protested last year to have the thugs re-admitted. Jackson told the audience that minorities cannot make it with talent alone, prodding them to join his Trade Bureau or risk missing out on hundreds of millions in corporate dollars.

In the meeting it was also announced that Rainbow/PUSH member J.L. Armstrong was named Supplier Development Manager for Toyota Motor Sales, essentially making him the liaison between minority businesses owners and Toyota.

During the Q and A session, Rev. Peterson asked the Toyota official, “As the President of a nonprofit conservative organization, BOND, I’m 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?” The crowd reacted with jeering as one man yelled at Rev. Peterson to sit down and keep quiet. Judge Greg Mathis, host of the T.V. show “Judge Mathis”, barked at Rev. Peterson, “You must be watching too much Bill O’Reilly.” The Co-Chair of the event, Carl Dickerson (President of Employee Benefits) and others began personally attacking Rev. Peterson by calling him “stupid”. Some in the audience could be heard asking, “What are you doing, why are you saying this?” It was obvious Jackson and most of the crowd didn’t want Rev. Peterson’s comments to be heard by the Toyota officials.

After several heated verbal exchanges between Rev. Peterson and Rainbow/PUSH officials, Jesse Jackson jumped in the fray by calling Rev. Peterson and other black conservatives “parasites, who show up after someone else shakes the fruit off the trees.” What followed could only be described as “fireworks” as Rev. Peterson laid into Jackson for his snide personal attack; the two were sitting five feet from each other, separated only by a large conference table. It seemed as though the whole room went silent as people were shocked that Jesse Jackson was silenced in front of his own supporters.

A security guard soon entered in an apparent attempt to remove Rev. Peterson, but he refused to leave. At this point Jonathan Jackson (Jesse’s son) and two other Jackson supporters positioned themselves across from Rev. Peterson and glared at him for the remainder of the meeting. At the meeting’s conclusion, Jonathan Jackson attempted to block Rev. Peterson and a BOND representative as they moved through a walkway. Rev. Peterson made his way past the younger Jackson despite this. When Rev. Peterson and the BOND representative moved to exit the room, Jonathan Jackson and several other men crossed the room and Jackson shoved Rev. Peterson. Meanwhile, a mob of people including Jesse Jackson circled Rev. Peterson, Jackson telling the men to “Get his a** out of here.” Judge Greg Mathis and others surrounded Rev. Peterson, screaming and yelling at him for several minutes to “leave before you get your a** kicked.” Rev. Peterson eventually left of his own will.

Rev. Peterson said, “The meeting reminded me of Ku Klux Klan meetings that I used to see in movies as a kid, except today the participants were black thugs dressed in suits.” BOND is sponsoring the “Third Annual National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson” on January 21, 2002 in Los Angeles, CA.

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson is the author of the widely-acclaimed book From Rage To Responsibility.

Well, at least Jesse is now referring to his dealings with Toyota as what they truly are, a shakedown. Extortion is another word.

I WILL call Toyota, I bought my first Toyota this past spring. After reading about the SHAKEDOWN by Jesse "pokechops" Jacka$$, I will NEVER, and I mean NEVER buy another one!

I just sent BOND some money. Screw J Jackson.

That is really great. They can really use it, since they don't put the squeeze on anyone for donations, or bully or intimidate anyone. go here!

Last time I checked Ohio was still in America and that's where my flag-adorned Honda was made.

Time to sell the Toyotas! Glad I don't own one!

Oh please don't tell me this, I just 3 weeks ago bought a new 2002 Toyota Sequoia. Because they offered a better deal and interest rate if I went with Toyota Financial Serv. I also went with them. My Christmas present is my first car payment due 12-23-001...... With this news I will look to the other 2 banks my husband and I deal with to refinance and quick. In the meantime some ideas to put in my letter to them would be appreciated.

What does this say about Jesse Jackson?

It says that Jesse uses the same propaganda term as many Freepers.

Hi Doll...
Lookit; I've recently moved to southern Indiana.
Toyota has an ENORMOUS assembly facility not far from here in a little burgh called, Princeton, I believe?

Now I'd have to guess at least 80% of the folks employed at this gigantic facility are comprised of every race except JJ's; given the location of this complex??

My point here is that JJ seems to pick mainly on the nonconfrontational Japanese corps (Texaco an exception...) who've taken steps to locate their plants here stateside & well out in the boonies?
I'd further guess these Japanese (& German, too) concerns put their plants in these locations in an effort at escaping the close proximity to other corporation's labor unions; which one finds in abundance infesting our major cities & the old *corps* who're located within?

These rural locations can be *developed* much easier by the Japanese; actually permitting 'em to recruit a better class of employee?
Who, although said employee may not bring a lot of experience to their, "Operationional Table"?
These recruits are by the same tolken extremely trainable; & afterwards, are as reliable as they'll be dependent?
But perhaps most importantly, by their locating plants within the USA & specifically in our rural areas?
The Japanese sucessfully metastisize their operation's culture deeply into our's.
As such, to deliberately hurt them is to in effect hurt ourselves.
The Japanese are a clever, resourceful peoples & know this tenant, all-too-well.
We must understand the Master PP&E's (JJ's) motives here, eh?
Why do you think Toyota was targeted by this 3rd-rate bloodsucker??
Hell's bells, Mercruiser; BMW's next, don'tcha know??
~ HA!! Jessie *The MPPE* is recieving his TARGETS from none-ther than...the UAW!!??
...wanna bet?

The good Rev Patterson should take a page from the *Master-Leech* Morris Dees' playbook, Mar!!
Remember how the SPLC bankrupted the supposed, "White Supremecy" group who Dees' deemed, "ripe for some fruit picking"?

Rev Patterson & any & all others opposed to the *Master Shakedown Poverty Pimp Extrodinaire* JJackson & Co must begin to realize the Rainbow Coalition is in & of itself mighty *ripe* to have a little, "fruit picked" from their limbs, too.
And this kind of brash & bold behavior signals the fruit's ripe & ready for some grabby fruit-pickin' fingers?

"Assualt" is as good place to start as any, too.
In addition, naming Toyota as a Co-Defendent; since it was THEIR event?
Is a very viable tack; after all, it *was* THEIR responsibility to provide adequate security for ALL participants??
Which it'd appear, they neglected to do satisfactorily?
The Japanese aren't *afraid* of JJ's *blackness*; they're simply gutless & seek to get-on with the business of building automobiles.
Their gutlessness is their Archilles heel for anyone to tap into; by their own abdication of standing up against any old kind of Fruit Picker like the Master Poverty Pimp Extrodinaire?

...methinks time's right for Toyota to learn the sword cuts both ways.
