Black Activist Supports Ferguson Grand Jury Decision
Newsmax ^ | Monday, 24 Nov 2014 11:47 PM

Posted on 11/25/2014 3:03:03 AM PST by maddog55

The Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, a conservative black civil-rights activist and national radio talk show host, said Monday night that he supports the grand jury decision in the Michael Brown shooting case.

The grand jury ruled that Ferguson, Missouri, police officer Darren Wilson should not face charges in the shooting death. Peterson called the people rioting and causing chaos in Ferguson "racist black thugs."

He released the following statement:

"The decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson proves that our justice system works. The outcome shows that justice prevailed despite a concerted effort by rabble rousers, corrupt civil-rights 'leaders,' Attorney General Eric Holder, and even President Barack Obama, who attempted to tip the scales of justice and convict the officer without due process.

"Emboldened by irresponsible public statements made by race baiters like Al Sharpton and Eric Holder, the professional community organizers have been planning to create havoc in Ferguson for months. Some are looking for an excuse to loot and riot. Racist black thugs in Ferguson even issued a $5,000 bounty on officer Wilson's life. "If blacks riot, the blame lies with the so-called 'leaders' and elected officials who condemned the officer without knowing all the facts and who treated the thug Michael Brown like a hero by sending White House officials to his funeral.

As we become the victims. Yep. Too bad the majority of whites still live their lives much much more peacefully than the majority of minorities.

White people will never need a civil rights leader however. Because a good example is set by real Americans, AND intelligent minorities.

Blacks didn’t wanna be slaves, completely understandable.

White men set them free.

Blacks didn’t want to be segregated.

White men let them co-exist.

Blacks got tired of being discriminated against(??????).

White men have done everything to give up racism.

Blacks now are being violent towards specifically white men.

White men feel guilty and let it go on for far too long.

What is the next logical step in the cycle of hate?

Not sure, but with leaders like what we have now, I’m sure the conclusion can’t be good.

Really, there is no “racism” in America anymore. It’s all black on white racism, well the majority of racially motivated hate is. All for perceived injustices, that WITHOUT us. If they were in a black country, they would likely be living way worse lives. Any black person can commit to the grind and be successful in America, anyone that says that it is a lie is in fact, a racist.

To me this has been ALL about money since day one, same with the Trayvon/Zimmerman case. It’s all about money on every single solitary level. They know damn well their kid was a thug, I mean who are they trying to kid here? That one day he was a choirboy and out of the blue he decides to rob a store? No he was just another gangsta punk ass raised by irresponsible parents and of course the parents play up like he was an innocent so they can sue and get paid. It’s all about money, it’s why the mother attacked someone selling Tee shirts of Mike Brown, why she wanted money from that, why Trayvon Martins mother copyrighted his name, why Al Sharpton plays the race card, he’s been doing this for the past 30 years. He race hustles then gets a cut of the money. This is all about money, all the way down the line to the family to the looters. This is why they don’t protest black on black shooting because there is no money involved or why if Darren Wilson was black why they wouldn’t protest too much, because they wouldn’t be able to push the race card.

‘As we become the victims. ‘

Refuse to be a victim, take responsibility for yourself. If there were no victims there would be little use for the democrat party....

Its one thing to be viewed as prey and another to act like prey. As I said, refuse to be a victim.

I agree with that. Doesn’t change the fact that some people are viewed as legitimate prey.

“Peterson called the people rioting and causing chaos in Ferguson “racist black thugs.”...........

Is that the same as calling, “a spade, a spade”?
