Rev. Peterson Attacked by Black Journalists At Reparations Debate!

Rev. Peterson Says: “They Screamed, Booed, And Jeered At Me”

Los Angeles – Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Founder and President of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, today released a statement about his treatment at the National Association Of Black Journalists’ (NABJ) 27th Annual Convention & Career Fair. Rev. Peterson was invited by NABJ President Condace Pressley to debate “The Case For / Against Reparations for African Americans,” with Michael Eric Dyson, Avalon Foundation Professor in the Humanities, University of Pennsylvania, last Friday, August 2, 2002, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

“The debate was poorly organized and unfairly administered from the start. The other panelist Dyson was thirty minutes late, and still was allowed to make both the opening and closing remarks,” said Rev. Peterson. “Dyson blamed whites for the high incarceration rate of black males and for a host of other problems in the black community; he received a thunderous applause from the 250 to 300 black so-called ‘journalists’ in the room,” said Rev. Peterson.

“I opened my remarks by stating that black Americans don’t need reparations, what they need are two-parent households with good fathers leading them. And yes, they should get educated, but that will not repair the moral and physical damage that has taken place over the last forty years. Immediately, the crowd erupted with boos and laughter. During the question and answer period, Dyson, one of the heads of the NABJ, and others in the audience called me ignorant and accused me of being ‘the white man’s boy,’” added Rev. Peterson.

“Last Friday’s events validated my long-held suspicions that even the most educated blacks hate whites with a passion. You would think that these ‘professionals’ would be satisfied with their progress in this country, instead in their blind anger they can only think about an undeserved big payback,” concluded Rev. Peterson.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

"He is a a black racialist"
Ha! Guess you haven't heard;
only whites can be racist.
Geeezz, don'tcha no nuthin?

[Arkinsaw]

Too many comments on the bad-mannered and not enough comments in praise of the brave who speak truth to them.

bump for JLP

Rev. Patterson is a voice for reason and decency. As such, he shows his true mettle by even going into the midst of such a group. While I would not have believed that the Negro journalists would be this corrupted--having still memories of George Schuyler and others, not so terribly long ago, who strove for common sense and greater objectivity--I am sure that Rev. Patterson, as the avowed foe of some of the most notorious Leftists among his race, has had more recent experience, and knew what to expect.

One can only wish the Reverend, who seems to understand something of how people progress, as well as how they may be corrupted by evil men, will continue his fight. All Americans will benefit from it. While he may be ridiculed and jeered, his courage will still reach some--will still stir thought, and raise questions. In time, his following will grow, even as more and more of those misled by the demagogues begin to realize how truly they "have been had."

Anybody know how to reach Jesse? I would love to accompany him to the next such meeting (I am white, huge, and dont have enough sense to be afraid of anything...)

Rev. Peterson is a humble, courageous leader who dares to discard the easy answers, and who preaches a doctrine of personal and racial responsibility. His soft-spoken manners belie a fierce determination to press the cause of true liberty for his people and for ALL people.

If Martin Luther King has a spiritual heir, it is not the bombastic and self-serving charlatans like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, but men of principle and character like Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson.

I tried to tell this to a co-worker ten years ago and he wouldn't believe me

Yep. They're racists who want wages without work. None of them were slaves.

Yep. Bump to that!

[Blood of Tyrants]

If they want a race war, then start paying "reparations" to every crack whore and black trash father of 8 illigitimate kids.

Reverend Peterson's organization is making efforts to provide education services. People who want to support education would do well to support his organization.

[HassanBenSobar]

Big Bump for Jesse Lee.

It'd be even better if he broke the deafening silence of the other Je$$e and Al Sharpton regarding the mob attack in Chicago. But the media presstitutes probably wouldn't give him the time of day.
