My Confrontation With Jesse Jackson In His Lion’s Den

The Washington Dispatch ^ | 12/17/2001 | Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson

[Spin]

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 heart’s 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 Toyota’s “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 Jackson’s International Trade Bureau, essentially making him the gatekeeper to these benefits. Jesse Jackson and Irv Miller, Toyota’s Vice President for Corporate Communications, were the featured speakers. Over two hundred black business owners and representatives were in attendance.

Jackson’s speech contained such choice excerpts as, “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 [dollars]. 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.” 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 Jackson’s speech, Toyota’s 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, 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?”

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 O’Reilly.” 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.

Excellent. It's great to have people like Rev JLP stand up for what's right, and horrible that the so-called "inclusion" side is so mean-spirited.

Thanks for the PING Merc, and BUMP for RJLP!

"B.O.N.D. will be holding this event until Jesse Jackson repents...and seeing as I've made it a goal to write reports on this event as long as it lasts...I probably have an assignment for life!"

Yea; *that* was (essentially) my first thought too, Mercruiser.
More like: Why I knew the Mercuria gal when..." {g}
Actually, I'd trade my Green-Singer Finch, "Nibblett," for a chance to be in LA & party with all you nuts.
But alas, it isn't to be.
That kind of fun could kill a geezer like me; easy.

"DON'T HATE...but REPUDIATE...THE KLAN WITH THE TAN!!"

...is that priceless or whaaaaat?!!

-BTTT-

B.O.N.D.-acious BUMPAGE!!!!

If ANY of Jesse P.'s admirers from outside the L.A. area are going to be in town on MLK Day weekend, may I ask that you join those of us attending the Third Annual National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson?

B.O.N.D. will be holding this event until Jesse Jackson repents...and seeing as I've made it a goal to write reports on this event as long as it lasts...I probably have an assignment for life!

DON'T HATE...but REPUDIATE...THE KLAN WITH THE TAN!!

BUMP!

Thanks for the ping...

Jesse Jackson was yelling, “Get his a** out of here.” Jonathon Jackson made a series of obscene comments to me. Judge Mathis taunted me, “Where’s O’Reilly when you need him?!” Members of the mob screamed at me to “leave or get you’re a** kicked.” I eventually left of my own will.

Nice talk from a 'reverend'!! I think we know who the 'real' reverend Jesse is!!

“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?”

This is the wrong question to ask. As a conservative organization, BOND shouldn't be looking into taking part in any training program that Jackson extorted out of toyota.

I think this crap has gone on long enough...time for that train to pull into the station. If what the black leaders and the Democrat party keep insinuating is true....that the black race simply cannot survive and cannot see to their own well being without the aid of a network of overseers...then make it known!! Once that is established..we can then make arrangements to treat them accordingly.

If on the other hand, they demand equality and all that goes with it...and are just as capable as the rest of us to take care of themselves...then they have no moral and legal right to expect perks based on the color of their skin. You can't have it both ways. Which is it folks??

Nicely put JD!!

[freekitty]

Go Jesse...and I will never buy a toyota; either. The one I did have didn't work anyway.

[Hacksaw]

I, for one, will never buy another Toyota product

Make sure you let them know why.

[abigail2]

Hi Lowbridge..I think Jesse's aim at going to this meeting was to expose JJ...

[lowbridge]

Hi Lowbridge..I think Jesse's aim at going to this meeting was to expose JJ...

He did that alright :-)

[breakem]

Tough call between racist and profiteer.

[abigail2]

Jesse Peterson will be on B-1 Bob Dornan show on Wednesday.

I don't think people realize what it takes to stand up to JJ. No one in the black community has stood up to this pig. That is what makes this so amazing...One of these "Reverends" has the faith that right makes might and one of them is a bully...we should all stand up like Real Rev. Peterson....

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Looks like the Reverend Petersen is the real deal.

[backhoe]

Bttt, for a real man...

[CounterCounterCulture]

I'd like to split my vote betwen "Racist" and "Profiteer"

Jesse Hi-Jackson is BOTH (and a few other choice words too)

[Las Vegas Dave]

Bump for later CERTIFIED letter to Irv Miller!

[abner]

Why doesn't anybody just drink friggin' coffee anymore?

I do. Turns out that the coffee I've been drinking for years is an espresso, 1/2 caf, latte= super strong, cut in half, with cream.

Go figure.
