BLACKS VS. JACKSON BACK BUSH ON KING’S BIRTHDAY
By J. Grant Swank, Jr.
posted Jan 16, 2004, 13:20

It all comes together. Blacks — conservative and active — rally for United States President George W. Bush and against Jesse Jackson on Martin Luther King’s Birthday, that is, the federal observance of same.
Monday, January 19 at 10 AM, they’ll meet in front of Jackson’s offices. The rally supports not only the political conservatism of Mr. Bush but also the biblical message of Christ. Combining the two demands no apology from the organizers, championed by the Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson, founder of the Brotherhood Order of a New Destiny (BOND), a force originated especially to combat Jesse Jackson’s liberal agenda.
Mychal Massie will be a highlight speaker at the rally. In his address, Massie proclaims: "When you look at the spiritual landscape of America, what has 'The Reverend Jackson' done to further the kingdom of God? What has he done to lead people, starting with his own children, into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ? Under what circumstances could a young minister turn to Jesse Jackson for advice? Or should I rather ask, 'Why would a young minister turn to Reverend Jackson for advice?'"
On Martin Luther King’s actual birthday, January 15, Mr. Bush spoke at King’s gravesite, midst boos from some black onlookers. The liberal press accented the opposition’s presence, particularly as Mr. Bush laid a wreath alongside the tombstone. Mrs. King stood nearby.
Newscasts reported that Mr. Bush had not been invited by the King family to take part in the remembrance but when he communicated with Mrs. King, relating his wishes, she complied. In other words, the liberal press would have the public believe that the American black community is — in the majority — anti-Bush.
This of course, if true, is no fault of Mr. Bush. It is that Democrats have brainwashed the black community — not all, but some — against Mr. Bush, beginning with the Florida ballot count at the last national election. That in itself is an indictment on those who permitted the demagogues to twist reality against Mr. Bush.
Nevertheless, there are those blacks who see truth; their representation will gather Monday for the California rally. The occasion traditionally is labeled "National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson."
Rally organizers contend that Jackson is not fit for public example — political or religious — because of "his comments against the Bush Administration’s war on terrorism, his corporate shakedowns that benefit his own political groups and his past adulterous affair that resulted in the birth of a child out of wedlock."

Black Conservatives to Repudiate Jesse Jackson's Activities at MLK Day Rally

Event to Take Place in Los Angeles on January 19

Project 21 members are organizing and taking part in a "National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson" that will be highlighted with a rally outside of Jackson's Los Angeles offices (1968 West Adams Boulevard) on Monday, January 19 from 10am until noon (Pacific time).
This annual repudiation of Jackson's activities and his right to be considered a reliable representative of the thoughts and aspirations of black Americans, now in its fifth year, is timed to coincide with the federal observance of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Brotherhood Order of a New Destiny (BOND), which was founded and is led by Project 21 member Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson, organizes the event. The stated goal of the "National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson" is "to show the contrast between MLK's dream and Jesse Jackson's nightmare." Among the cited criticisms of Jackson are his comments against the Bush Administration's war on terrorism, his corporate shakedowns that benefit his own political groups and his past adulterous affair that resulted in the birth of a child out of wedlock.
Project 21 member Mychal Massie is a featured speaker at the rally. In his prepared remarks, Massie says: "When you look at the spiritual landscape of America, what has 'The Reverend Jackson' done to further the kingdom of God? What has he done to lead people, starting with his own children, into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ? Under what circumstances could a young minister turn to Jesse Jackson for advice? Or should I rather ask, 'Why would a young minister turn to Reverend Jackson for advice?'"
Project 21 has been a leading voice of the African-American community since 1992. For more information, contact David Almasi at (202) 371-1400 x106 or Project21@nationalcenter.org, or visit Project 21's website at http://www.project21.org/P21Index.html.

Thanks.
This Bush is the man that the NAALCP ran that ad about during the 2000 election. It all but said that George W. Bush was driving the truck that led to the decapitation dragging death of James Byrd a couple of years before. The reality was that 2 of the three involved in that awful act received the death penalty, the third got life in prison. It boils my blood to no end that the NAACP can get away with that and that the Liberal media can slant their bias at an event such as this !!:

On Martin Luther King’s actual birthday, January 15, Mr. Bush spoke at King’s gravesite, midst boos from some black onlookers. The liberal press accented the opposition’s presence, particularly as Mr. Bush laid a wreath alongside the tombstone. Mrs. King stood nearby.
