SCAM By Jesse Lee Peterson
More
and more Americans have come to regard Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and
other establishment “black leaders” as con artists who are gaining
money and power by promoting racial tension and class warfare.In Scam: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America,
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson points out how the civil-rights
establishment has made a lucrative career out of keeping racial strife
alive in America.He tells how establishment black leaders endlessly promise solutions
to the problems of America’s inner cities, but deliver only lip
service. From the failure of the welfare system, to the farce of
the slavery-reparations movement, to the hypocrisy and corruption
of current black leaders, he argues that the solution is not
economic.Rather than promote perpetual victimhood, Peterson offers a solution
based on true empowerment, teaching individuals and families how to tap
into the power within, rather than depending on handouts.Well-known for his public criticism of black leaders, he considers
Jesse Jackson a “racist demagogue” and a “David Duke in black
skin.” He offers, “Dr. King is turning over in his grave seeing
what his movement has become, thanks to people like Jesse Jackson.”Follow-up soon regarding Bill Cosby’s remarks at Howard University……..
