This is a sad yet accurate observation by Rev. Peterson. Those who do strive to make a difference often are vilified in the black community. This makes the fight that much stronger.
One still can hope....

Rev. Peterson is right once again. Proof of how the black community has lost its soul can be seen in their demand for affirmative action programs. A group of people with self-respect would be ashamed to demand preferential treatment. They would take even the suggestion as an insult.
But instead, so-called black leaders such as Jackson, Sharpton, the black caucus, and the BET crowd have no qualms about demanding such favoritism for themselves and their fellow blacks. This shows that they have simply accepted the dogma that they can't succeed without preferential treatment. That's hardly something to be proud of, and something most people would be ashamed of. Yet, it doesn't shame them a bit.
I was listening to an adult standards radio station the other night, and they played some records by classic black artists such as Nat King Cole and the Mills Brothers. It occurred to me how much black music has deteriorated. Today, much of black music is represented by vulgar and totally unmusical rap garbage, a bunch of idiots chanting about killing cops or molesting girls.
It says something about the destructiveness of liberalism that the black family unit survived slavery and Jim Crow, but was destroyed by the Great Society.
Pray that men like Rev. Peterson can someday replace the likes of John Conyers and Maxine Waters as representatives of the black community.
