Does "Reverend" Peterson teach those children that he mentors that their parents are all lazy, and immoral welfare leeches and should thank the white man for slavery? Is that the purpose of his organization BOND? How about his "church"? I'd love to see his idea of "Christian values" in his sermons.

Its clear that the good "Reverend" Jesse Lee is afflicted with some sort of form of mental retardation. You can hear it in his speech patterns, and the way he formulates his thoughts. His elevation into the world of mainstream politics is one of the worst examples of exploitation I have ever seen. His profile is all in the name of using a Black voice to communicate white racism. Pretty fucked up, but karma has a way of making the score even, Mr. Hannity. Be careful, my friend.

Religion is an institution concieved for the purpose of control. Without a transcendant figure to "police" ethics and morals and goodness b4 things like forensics, ppl wd be running around crazy. It is only natural that the ideals of the majority pervade the culture of their religions. Jesus was a feeder of the poor while the people who champion him hate the poor (and mid class.) So yes, Mel Gibsons Jesus is White. But Yeshuah was Black. Also, my president is Black and my Lambos blue, mothafucka

@jayo2k Do you live away from other blacks since you are so scared of other blacks? And where do you get these numbers from about blacks in prison compared to college? And to me comparing prison to college is apples and oranges. Prison can be a life sentence college is usually a 4 year program. And just becuz a black person isnt in college doesnt mean he is in jail. There are blacks who have graduated from college and now are working, maybe even raisng a family.

@rashadkijani & I didn't say that all black this... simply because i'm black & i do not do that, never carried a gun in my life, never injured someone, never been to jail... I said that there is a problem within our comunity & that's the truth, you can't say that it's all good... more of us in jail than in college, our chance of getting killed is way higher than any other comunity... I would love so much going to any black neighbourhood & feeling safe but the truth is i can't

[jayo2k]

@rashadkijani man, i was talking like you before until i see the stats & it's crazy... Do you know that in DC a city 51% black, so far this year, every homicide victims but one were black?

Same with Baltimore... Most US dangerous cities have a huge black population, in new york, 30% black but 66% of homicides victims are black... there are some fact that we can't deny... Do you know what it feels to know someone getting murdered over some BS...? ain't u tired of all the gangs?

[rashadkijani]

@jayo2k Why do people think that just becuz someone with black skin might do a crime toward to someelse with black skin that means there is something unique about the black race compared to any other race? And how is just running around telling people that stuff like that happens going to stop it? Ive never committed a crime another black or white person have you? Why do you assume that just cuz some black person did something you disagree with you think all blacks are like that?
