REV. PETERSON: BUSH OFFICIALS SHOULD REPUDIATE, NOT LEGITIMIZE JESSE JACKSON

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Founder and President of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, today said he is “disturbed” by news reports that two prominent Bush administration officials are planning to speak at Jesse Jackson’s 6th Annual Rainbow/PUSH Wall Street Project. The officials scheduled to speak are Michael Powell, Chairman of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), and son of Secretary of State Colin Powell; and Roel Campos, Commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). According to news reports both are scheduled to appear at the event on January 16th.

Rev. Peterson said, “In the last thirty years, Jackson has proven himself to be a man of poor character and a self-serving thug. Recent examples: In January of 2001, it was discovered that Jackson fathered a love child with his mistress Karin Stanford; he has also been under serious scrutiny for allegedly misusing funds from his nonprofit organizations. Much more has been documented in the scathing book—Shakedown: Exposing The Real Jesse Jackson by Kenneth R. Timmerman.”

Rev. Peterson added, “This administration’s plan to send officials to meet with a discredited ‘civil-rights leader’ is shameful. In the past, Jackson has called President Bush an ‘illegitimate’ President, and has compared the Bush administration to terrorists. The administration is validating Jackson, and they’re sending the wrong message to the American people. How can they [Bush administration] embrace Jackson and yet repudiate Trent Lott? —It doesn’t make sense and it’s wrong!”

BOND is sponsoring the 4th Annual “National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson” on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s Birthday on Monday, January 20, 2003, from 10 am till 12 Noon, in front of Rainbow/PUSH L.A., 1968 West Adams Blvd., Los Angeles, CA. For more information go to www.bondinfo.org

Works both ways Howlin! Anyways Bush is wrong and you know it.

[TLBSHOW]

This just tells me that the Republicans STILL don't get it. Jackson (by no means a Reverend) needs to be crushed, not embraced. The Reverend Jessie Lee is so right about this. I wonder if Alan Keyes will chime in on this one. Hope so.


BUMP

[aristeides]

Howlin in effect accuses you of being a racist, but she seems unable or unwilling to criticize the racist Jesse Jackson on this thread.

Makes me wonder why she was so much in favor of sending Elian Gonzalez back to Castro's tyranny.

[TLBSHOW]

What she says doesn't matter, she is on Jesse Jacksons side anyways!

[TLBSHOW]

and what I said about works both ways had to do with her comment (Please do not post to me again) LOL

WHITE FEAR FROM THE Washington Dispatch

Exclusive Commentary by Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson


For the last twelve years, we at the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny have been fighting against the demoralization of blacks in this country by the likes of Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters, Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, the Black Caucus, the liberal elite Democratic Party, and others. But we must realize that this is not the only form of demoralization at work. While demoralizing blacks, these racist demagogues have also succeeded in demoralizing whites.

One word—“racist”—has been elevated to a sacred status, to the point now where even the threat of being labeled “racist” causes whites to cower to the wishes of blacks. The fact is that the civil rights “leaders” and elite liberal Democrats are at fault for the poor condition of the black community, not white racism. But, having largely given in to their lies, the white culture is suffering not only because blacks are free to be immoral without complaint, but also because many whites now lack character as a result of giving in to this fear.

If this lack of character continues to go unchecked, the white culture is doomed to the same pitiful state that we now find in the largely immoral black community. If no one speaks up about this, then all will suffer. Blacks will continue to fall at an even faster rate because whites will be too weak not to give in to reparations for slavery, expansion of affirmative action, and the ongoing bombardment of other governmental programs. For the sake of all cultures, we must begin to bring about a change.

In order to change, we must first realize how we came to the problem we find ourselves in today. The civil rights “leaders” of today and the elite liberal Democratic Party all understand one thing very well: the power of fear. For the last forty years, these demagogues have implanted fear in the white community—fear of being branded “racist.” As this fear escalated in the beginning of this movement, whites of the time became afraid and refused to speak against the civil rights movement as it veered from it’s original just intent to a self-serving and racist agenda shortly after the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This fear spread, allowing the legitimate black leadership to lose control, which caused the black community to become increasingly immoral. And most whites have kept silent. And thus blind blacks, following blind leaders, suffered.

Now enter today. The black community is worse off than they have ever been in the history of the United States. Ninety-two percent of blacks supported Bill Clinton, knowing he committed adultery, lied to the American people, and lied under oath. Seventy percent of black babies are born out of wedlock! There was a time when blacks would have been ashamed of these numbers. But now they don’t care. As long as the welfare check is there, the “diversity” programs are in play, and no one is speaking against them, all is well. And let me tell you, very few are speaking against them.

The sins of the parents are passed down through the generations, and as a result of whites of the past not standing up, that same weakness and lack of character has been passed to whites of the new generation. The idea of being called “racist” is as horrific as ever, and whites of the new generation have been demoralized by their parent’s lack of character and the out-of-control modern civil rights movement.

Now we have this whole nonsense of “multiculturalism” at work on college campuses. “Celebrate diversity!” is the chant, no matter how many babies these “diverse” individuals have out of wedlock, no matter how immoral they are, no matter what perverse causes they stand for. Now homosexuals are simply another group that needs to be celebrated. Now sexual perversion and amorality of all kinds are labeled “diverse” and equal to all other choices of behavior.

I’m often asked to speak on college campuses where white kids are afraid to stand up to immoral blacks for fear of being labeled a bigot, and are afraid to express their Christianity for fear of being labeled a “homophobe.” As a result of this fear, college graduates go into the world demoralized and disillusioned, depressed and beaten down. Their hearts are filled with fear and helplessness, perpetrated on them by the “celebrate diversity” crowd. And unless this changes, this will pass on to the next generation, and the next…and we will all suffer. These days most whites believe that being labeled a racist is the worst form of suffering. The dark days lurking ahead will make that suffering look like nothing. But it does not—and I repeat, does not!—have to be this way.

We at BOND realize the suffering that our nation is going through is a warfare. What we all have to realize though is that this is a spiritual warfare, not a racial warfare. It is not a fight of blacks versus whites, as the civil rights movement will tell you, but of good versus evil. The evil civil rights movement attacks good Americans who speak out against what they are doing. But the civil rights movement has no real power. All they can do is create fear through name-calling. And, amazingly, most whites have given in to this. They have adopted a false guilt for the ills of the black community.

No, the civil rights “leaders” and elite liberal Democratic Party are truly to blame, holding blacks down by keeping them angry at white America and dependent on the government. God, family, country, morality, and discipline used to be paramount in black culture, which is why blacks such as Booker T. Washington flourished long ago even though laws were against blacks. Now diversity, multiculturalism, and governmental programs are paramount, and look where blacks are because of it. We now have a society where blacks can say and do anything they want about and to whites, but whites can’t even speak up and disagree with blacks.

As soon as we realize that we are fighting a spiritual warfare, we can overcome. At BOND, we have been fighting for years. We recently held our Third Annual “National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson” on Dr. King’s birthday to show the contrast between Dr. King’s dream that blacks be judged on the content of their character and Jackson’s nightmare that blacks be judged on their color. We have a BOND Home for Boys that works to restore self-sufficiency and independence that is lost in today’s anti-family black culture. We have an After School Character Building program to teach kids to love what is right and love this country.

Having stood for what is right has put as at odds with the civil rights establishment and the elite, liberal Democratic Party. We have endured all sorts of name-calling and intimidation tactics. I have personally been called “nigger,” “sellout,” “Uncle Tom,” and many other names. But I understand that I am fighting against evil. These names mean nothing to me. They are the pitiful words of cowards who do not have right on their side. By letting them pass, I am able to continue standing up for what is right: the emancipation of black America and the disbandment of the current black leadership.

It is now time for white America to realize that they are part of this same battle. The words “racist,” “bigot,” and “hatemonger,” coming from embittered followers of demagogues, mean nothing. The real strength is in those who give these words no mind and continue to stand against racism and for what is right. Enduring these attacks is a part of a blessed life. Christ said that whenever you stand up for right you will go through such attacks. If Christ had to endure, why shouldn’t we? After all, in enduring as Christ did, we come closer to God.

If Americans of all races can lay aside their fear to stand up for truth, we will all be blessed. If they do not lay aside this fear, then destruction will be widespread.

Thanks for the post.
Hmmm Jesse Lee should be invited to be a speaker at the GOP convention in NYC. Plan to pass this on to others.

I think we should wait and see what the "Bush" people actually have to say....Just because they are JJ guest doesn't mean they promote his line.
OTOH,
I do believe totally ignoring JJ, by the media, the politicats, etc IS the best way to continue his demise.

[Poohbah]

Ever consider the possibility that we're just trying to peel off some of Jesse's supporters instead of sipmply ignoring him?

[TLBSHOW]

Did you get a chance to hear him last night here at FRee Republic on Radio FR on the Anna Z show?

He was really good. If not check out the archives here at Free Republic.

[TLBSHOW]

That is a joke!

[hoosiermama]

That would work too. NO direct attach. Just get the straglers in the rear.......until.... OOPS! No more followers.

[Poohbah]

OK, I think I see your point.

Reaching out and attempting to persuade other people of your argument is a joke. Instead, one must hope they simply go away.

Is that an accurate summation of your stance?

[Poohbah]

Discussing how YOUR ideas help the other guy achieve HIS goals is usually a good idea.

[hchutch]

Is any effort that you don't agree with pandering?

[hoosiermama]

Thanks I'll do that! I really admire Jesse Lee....and BTW I not only read the book on JJ but passed it around to several friends and family members. It's time someone tells it like it is.

[hchutch]

Careful! Some might call that "pandering", "caving", or "selling out"!

Washington, D.C., January 10, 2003—Today, Former Education Secretary and co-director of Empower America William J. Bennett sent a memo to the White House and the U.S. Congress urging them to embrace a true civil rights agenda based on colorblind policies and equal opportunity for all.

Bennett advises that in the coming year a civil rights agenda should be crafted around three action items:

• Ending the double standard of racial preferences in higher education admissions: The Bush Administration and Members of Congress should immediately file an amicus brief with the Supreme Court on behalf of the plaintiffs in Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger.

[hoosiermama]

They didn't throw Trent Lott out of the senate or the party. Just removed him from a leadership position. OTOH sending someone to debate or communicate with the opposition is not totally embracing their position.

"There is more than one way to skin a cat"....."Sometimes we do attract more flies with honey than vinager".......
DO these mean anything to you?
