Los Angeles- Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, author of SCAM: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America, announced today the start of The 'Black' List Campaign, a campaign to expose Hollywood’s most anti-American black entertainers who are viciously criticizing the U.S. war on terror and lying to black Americans. Celebrities on the list include: Spike Lee, Danny Glover, Whoopi Goldberg, Harry Belafonte, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, Will Smith among others.
Rev. Peterson said, “I’m sickened by black entertainers who drive $350,000 Bentleys and still cry ‘racism.’ Americans of all colors pay to see their movies, and they have the nerve to bash the U.S.? American servicemen and woman watch their shows; yet, they travel to foreign lands and bad mouth our forces? Enough is enough! The goal of The 'Black' List Campaign is to expose these people so they can no longer deceive the American public.”
As an example, Rev. Peterson mentioned actor Will Smith, who in a recent interview with a German newspaper, responding to a question of whether 9-11 had changed anything for him, said: “When you grow up black in America you have a completely different view of the world than white Americans. We blacks live with a constant feeling of unease. And whether you are wounded in an attack by a racist cop or in a terrorist attack, I'm sorry, it makes no difference.”
Will Smith is not the only black celebrity downing America. Actor Danny Glover has charged that President George W. Bush is a “racist.” Whoopi Goldberg, Harry Belafonte, and Director Spike Lee have also joined the anti-American rant. Lee’s latest movie, “She Hate Me,” aims to smear American business and President Bush. Lee said: “I’m very nervous about this election, because we’re all going to hell if George Bush wins.”
Rev. Peterson said, “Our campaign seeks to educate Americans about the beliefs, statements and actions of these entertainers. The more the American people know, the less likely they are to support or believe these people.” For more information go to www.bondinfo.org

I really respect Rev. Peterson.
This is great, these people DO NOT speak for me...
Get thee behind me, Spike Lee.
Amen!!!! Rev. Patterson has my full respect. The man speaks common sense & reasoning.
Patterson=Peterson
I don't plan on seeing any of their movies any more.
Poor little Will had such tough decisions to make growing up like whether to use his scholarship to MIT or continue on the road to fame. What a shame. We should all feel sorry for him.
You are not alone. But soon they will be.
Add Denzel "15-30 million a year" Washington to the list.
Go Reverend Go!!!
Well Belafonte and Glover are both living breathing hypocrites to the Nth degree. They scream "racism" and "no justice" against in this country but at the same time seem to think that a tyrant living in Cuba who locks up people for 80 years for just writing the wrong thing is a swell guy. It just boils down to the fact that they are both hypocritical Commie lovers like Dan Rather. People who worship Communism but seem to have no problem living and using the benefits of a democracy. Hypocrisy is their religion and they don`t call them the "loony left" for nothing.
Rev Peterson ~ Bump!
<< I plan to not see any of their movies any more. >>
Those folks make movies?
Why, goll--ee.
Who'da knowed it?
Peterson and Cosby should team up, they are both making alot of sense.
This column in the Wall Street Journal tells of a declaratoin of support for Fidel Castro by 160 ''artists and intelectuals,'' including Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte. MCI must be real proud of their spokesperson. Note the letter we got from ''A ChronWatch Reader'' on this subject, just below the article.
Many people know Danny Glover as the genial salesman on evening television pushing MCI long distance telephone services. It's less well known that Mr. Glover is a big fan of Fidel Castro. To prove it, he and Harry Belafonte and another 160 or so ''artists and intellectuals'' have just signed a declaration of support for the Cuban regime.
Published on May 1 in Cuba's government newspaper, Granma, the statement says: ''Today there is a tough campaign against a Latin American nation. The harassment of Cuba could serve as an excuse for an invasion.'' The document supported Fidel's May Day warning to the Cuban people against President Bush's ''Nazi'' aggression.
Ever since the March jailing of 77 writers and political dissidents and Cuba's firing squad execution of three young black men, Castro's international fan club has been shrinking. Portuguese Nobel-Prize winning writer Jose Saramago broke with his longtime friend and ideological ally. Fifty prominent Spanish artists, including film director Pedro Almodovar and philosopher Fernando Savater, denounced the regime's practices. Writer Susan Sontag not only pronounced Fidel a lost cause but said that Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez's silence about it all is ''unpardonable.'' Mr. García Marquez didn't answer Ms. Sontag, but he did add his name to Mr. Glover's declaration of support.
That Fidel spends every waking hour trying to convince Cubans that America wants to attack them is not news. But the ginned-up petition of support is. It is clear evidence that the tropical Stalinist cares about his international image. Notably the Granma listing calls attention to the Nobel laureate status of four signers, presumably to offset the importance of Mr. Saramago's criticism. They include Guatemalan Rigoberta Menchu, who was famously found to have lied about her life story for which she won the prize.
As for Mr. Glover, his most famous movie roles have been in the Lethal Weapon series, but he's really more of a die-hard.
Letter from a ChronWatch reader who has strong opinions on Danny Glover and MCI:
Hi. I just want to say that I would talk through wires and tin cans before I would ever use MCI. You anti-American companies will get none of my money as long as you hire pigs and racists like DANNY GLOVER. Shame on you!!!
Rev. Petersen, good luck.
Danny Glover and Will Smith are very talented and have done well professionally and financially in the entertainment industry.
Why are they so bitter against America? How can they speak for the Black underclass when they are on the Hollywood party circuit A list and get seated ahead of the herd at all the best restaurants?
Yes, but will smith has played a poor black kid on tv/movies, so he must know what its like [ end sarcasm ]
I enjoy listening to Rev Peterson's radio show.
