09/14/2008: "Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson explains why black Republicans support Obama"

The article being presented here is by Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, founder and president of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, and author of "The Seven Guaranteed Steps To Spiritual, Family, and Financial Success" guide. He's also host of "The Jesse Lee Peterson Radio Show." For more information, visit www.bondinfo.org.

Is Barack Obama going to actually be GOOD for the black community? From the information available, its seems blacks don't care! They aren't looking at the issues. They just plan to vote for Obama because he is black. Read the following snippets from the article linked below.

I don't necessarily like his policies; but … history thrusts me to really seriously think about it [voting for Obama]. … Black conservatives tell me privately it would be very hard to vote against him in November.

- Armstrong Williams, talk show host

"I'm hearing many black Republicans echoing similar sentiments. They say that because of the historical significance of casting a vote for the first legitimate black presidential candidate, they may cross party lines."

"These statements don't surprise me."

"So, how did black Republicans get to a point where they're willing to abandon their own "values" to vote for a socialist?"

"To get an understanding of this phenomenon, I recently interviewed several black Republican leaders on my radio program."

Calvin Stephens, chairman of the African-American Republican Leadership Council in Texas, said that he's voting for Obama because this is a "black pride moment!"

"Can you imagine if a white person in a similar position even hinted at voting for a candidate because it was a "white pride moment"? That person would be castigated, labeled a "racist" and fired...."

A real black conservative could never vote for Obama. On the other hand, a black Republican could vote for Obama because he identifies more with color than character

Because black Americans have long been catered to by liberal Democrats, most still feel like they're owed something. Even the staunchest black Republican believes that his party owes him.

The Reverand speaks on......

A new breed of black Republican has infiltrated the GOP with the intent to wield black influence over both the parties. They may agree with the Republican Party on taxes and other economic issues, but that's it! At their core they're dyed-in-the-wool liberal Democrats.

"Let's examine the "history" argument. Is it right to vote for Barack Obama to make "history" while ignoring his record? Consider that Sen. Obama":

• believes in abortion on demand, and has told Planned Parenthood that sex-ed for kindergartners is "the right thing to do" (as long as it's "age appropriate");
  
• has announced his intention to gut our defenses including our nuclear arsenal and strategic missile defense programs;
  
• has said he would be willing to meet with the leaders of Iran and others without preconditions;
  
• wants to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq, which would lead to chaos in the region and endanger Israel;
  
• seeks to raise taxes across the board including on oil company profits, yet opposes drilling domestically.

Barack Obama is not black America's messiah. But the only way for black Americans (including those who identify themselves as Republicans) to see that reality is to drop their un-American identification with race and be willing to hear the truth about the issues from any American, regardless of color.

There are many other great points made in this writing, although I am sure the majority of the black community will label this man a "house negro" or "race traitor". Please read the entire article at this location. Also, please take the time to read his other offerings at this location.

Jesse Lee Peterson is a conservative voice that is not afraid to tell it like it is. It's to bad that he, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Ward Connerly, Clarence Thomas, and others are deemed house negroes and kicked to the curb while thug atheletes, rappers, and other worthless examples are held in high esteem.

The article does reveal the lack of logic that seems to be lacking in black society.

There is far too much lack of knowledge in the black community. As the author says, this lacking revolves around how the Democratic party and liberals have catered to them. If anyone can be blamed for "keeping the black man down", which I don't condone blaming anyone, but if I had to, it would be the democrats and liberals.

They keep telling the black community through their pandering special programs to them. So much so, that almost a whole race of people have become satisfied with being crippled.

you know its all whitey's fault don't you? that blacks lack knowledge? being sarcastic of course. blacks don't want to have knowledge or at least admit they do cause then they are going to have to get jobs, and work, and take care of themselves. black leaders don't want blacks to be self reliant because where will they get their money from when most of how they learn a living is off the backs of ignorant blacks.
