Rating:  Summary: An African-American Dissident Speaks Up Review: Jesse Lee Peterson. An African American? Yes. An author? Yes. A man with a majority, now wait thats too kind, a man with significant, nope wrong again, here we go, a man with ANY SUPPORT from the African American community? NO. This is a feel-good book for those Republicans who want to at least pretend they want the black vote. This provides those Republicans with an excuse: Its not our fault, its theirs! If Republicans are content with single digit numbers from the black community, by all means, read this book. Response to some of the critics: Not that I would think a conservative would put any credibility into the overwheliming opinions, of the African-American community, but my point was in stating that, was to make people think, "Gee, if 90-95% of Blacks reject this man and what he believes, maybe they're on to something! Maybe, just maybe, African Americans know what is right and wrong and needs to be changed within the African-American community a little, JUST A LITTLE, more than the average, Rush Limbaugh listener, right wing male with a laptop living in the suburbs.
Rating:  Summary: Can't stand Jesse Jackson? You'll love Jesse Peterson! Review: Jesse Peterson is exactly what all Americans need to get past racial tensions created by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton....Take care of your children, demand a quality education from the teacher's union, clean up your house and call the cops if someone is doing bad things beyond your control. Then we'll see how much racism there really is and begin to focus on what needs to be done to correct inequities and help the needy.
Rating:  Summary: Not only for blacks Review: Mr. Peterson's words of wisdom are applicable not just to blacks, but also to any American citizen who has an ounce of common or uncommon sense left!
Rating:  Summary: Delicious Food for Thought Review: The Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson is NOT someone who is afraid to speak his mind. He lays it on the line and stresses fact not tact. As a proud Black conservative, he is a lightening rod for the liberal establishment to besmirch, which is ironic because the successful station he has achieved in life stands as a consummate refutation of racism. He bravely articulates how the specious slur "racist" gets bandied about today, but he knows what bona fide bigotry is, and he fearlessly condemns it. In a meticulously research passage he describes the racist goals of Planned Parenthood boldly spelled out by its found Margaret Sangar and still surreptitiously practiced by the organization today with the active support of many so-called Black leaders. Highlighting Sanger`s hatred, he quotes her own venomous writing, "Blacks are "mentally inferior to native-born Americans." Her popularity in the Third Reich was no doubt due to her consideration of Jews as "human weeds." His expresses justifiable outage and bewilderment that abortion is still heavily pushed in minority communities with the vociferous approval of alleged liberals. Planned Parenthood and self-appointed "black leaders" who sell out their community for political advantage are just two of the sacred cows Reverend Petersen sacrifices on the altar of truth. Other oblations offered include feminists, welfare proponents, and a culture of victimization. Nor is he afraid to name names; in addition to Sangar, the likes of Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson, Maxine Walters, and Sharon Stone are all knocked off the pedestals on which liberalism has placed them. One drawback to this work is its brevity. A mind as sapient as Reverend Peterson's should not limit his insightful observations to a scant 107 pages (A Few thoughtful appendices enhance the book`s length.). Still in one instance, this abbreviation works brilliantly. In an autobiographical chapter, under a heading of "Lost Years," he artfully spends less than three pages delineating two decades of his life spent on drug-laden welfare. It does not seem possible to paint a more authentic picture of the emptiness that envelops a life devoid of personal responsibility. Some may dismiss Reverend Peterson as part of Hilary's Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, but that is their loss. He has much to say. He surmounted obstacles including poverty, illegitimacy, prejudice, and addiction to achieve personal success and peace of mind. Anyone with an open mind should read his work, and carefully consider the intelligent arguments he makes.
Rating:  Summary: Stop blaming 'whitey' and take responsibility for yourself. Review: This book clearly describes racial groupthink (I think the same way as others in the group). It shows how happiness and racial anger cannot exist in the same person at the same time. The kingpins of the race industry will hate this book and subject the Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson to their usual vicious personal attacks because he tell truths they want to keep hidden. The book shows how his Christian faith helped him stop being a victim and pull himself up.
Rating:  Summary: You asked for it, well here it is Review: This book really hit home for me. Peterson provides some fundamental reasons as to why the black community has not reached it's full potential. We are the only race that has completely politicized our culture. In return we have recieved promises and rhetoric, and yet the chasm that seperates the black community grows wider. His assessment of our so-called leadership is also dead on. Unfortunately, many people will call him an "Uncle Tom" or self-hating black. However, one only has to honestly read the book, not from the perspective of politics, i.e. Democrats or Republicans, but from the perspective of honest self evaluation. An excellent read.
Rating:  Summary: Powerful Review: This book will upset a lot of people. The author isn't trying to make friends or coddle his readers. If you sincerely want to know what has gone wrong is so many black communities across the country you will want to read this book. Warning: a lot of your cherished beliefs about race and racism will be challenged.
Rating:  Summary: Not as good as SCAM Review: This was not all that bad, but it is not as good as his book SCAM. This book doesn't really focus on the decietfulness of black leaders, but it does however, show the very anti-white statements that blacks make, like black authors, black entertainers, and that there are black groups that actively don't want whites to adopt black kids. Could you picture the outcry if there were a white group that tried to prevent blacks from adopting white kids? Such bigotry would never be tolerate in this politically correct culture. I didn't like his chapter on abortion, because to me it is like capital punishment; you already have you mind set up before coming into the debate. I did think his views on immigration were interesting. IN fact, I was kind of shocked to hear a black man speak out against illegal immigration. Peterson states taht it's already bad enough in LA and other major US cities that black males have higher unemployment rates, but add that with illegal immigrants who take their jobs. This also deters teenagers and young adults when illegal take low paying jobs, because those menial jobs are a good way to get experience, get a good work ethic and learn job skills. It's really not that spectacular. I would say pick up his book, "SCAM: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America"
Rating:  Summary: A Breath of Fresh Air Review: What an exceptional book! Jesse Lee Peterson stresses personal responsibility not just for the black individual but for everyone in the human race. This book may be viewed by many as an attack on blacks but I didn't feel that way. As a black man Mr. Peterson sees the problems his race is experiencing from the inside out. He examines many controversial issues including, but not limited to, racism (both black and white) the welfare problem, the immigration problem, the education problem and the problems that are created by the fact that over 70% of black children are born out of wedlock. In his no-holds barred observations he holds up the idea that black leaders are exploiting the family problems of black people for review. he quotes many interesting facts about black families and middle class workers that you normally do not hear on the liberal news or from black leaders themselves. Overall a very interesting read for anyone who would like to analyze the perceptions of blacks and whites about each other in this country. To review some of the reasons behind it and to ponder some potential solutions.
