Hannity Once Again Provides Jesse Lee Peterson A Platform To Attack Black People

I would never insult a house Negro by calling Jesse Lee Peterson one. Peterson is far worse than a house Negro.

Jesse Lee Peterson is a slave-catching Negro who takes pride in doing the dirty work against other black people for his master (in this case it is Fox News right wing talk show host Sean Hannity). With great joy, Hannity sits back and watches as Jesse Lee Peterson launches racist attack after racist attack against black people. Hannity, I would imagine, sees himself as inoculated against any backlash because he has his black man on there to do the dirty work. Back during slavery, the white slave master or slave catcher could sit back and let his black slave catcher do the hard work while he kept his hands physically clean from the horrors.

In one of his latest appearances on Hannity’s Fox News show, Peterson had this to say:

PETERSON: But to be honest with you, this whole thing is — I remember, George Washington built America based on truth. Barack Obama is destroying America based on lies.

This thing is about the redistribution of wealth, it’s about Black Liberation Theology. Obama lied on the primaries, he’s been lying ever since. And the sad thing about it, some Americans — most Americans are starting to see it, but they don’t realize that they’ve been seduced by this man, and he doesn’t care about what is right.

We see what he’s doing, bowing down to everybody around the country –

HANNITY: Around the world.

PETERSON: And around the world. Look what’s happening in Israel right now, he’s never really supported Israel. This guy is not on our side.

He’s — Obama, in all honesty, is the Congressional Black Caucus, he is Louis Farrakhan, he is Rev. Wright, his minister, he is all of them wrapped up in one — and he’s gonna take — if we allow this health-care thing to happen, he’s gonna turn America into Detroit. And we cannot let this happen.

Peterson of course comes back to the customary mention of Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan (names designed to do little more than to scare white people and gain him favor with these same whites he adores more than he adores himself). He comes back to the same tired lines about “redistribution of wealth” and drumming up more fear with his mentioning of so-called “Black Liberation Theology.”

Sean Hannity is a disgraceful man who knows exactly what he is doing by bringing Jesse Lee Peterson on his show to attack black people.

The Young Turks on Peterson:

Peterson as a house Negro (and like Uncle Ruckus from The Boondocks):

Here are some of my previous posts on the racist idiocy of Jesse Lee Peterson:

Here, he is disrespectful of Demond Wilson and goes on the attack against him: http://simmerdown3.wordpress.com/2009/07/21/demond-wilson-angered-by-rude-jesse-lee-peterson-hangs-up/

Here, Jesse Lee Peterson thanks God for slavery (maybe because he is acting like Sean Hannity’s slave): http://simmerdown3.wordpress.com/2009/02/05/jesse-lee-peterson-thank-god-for-slavery/

Chicago Sun-Times Columnist Mary Mitchell: White president would never hear ‘You lie!’

Here is an excerpt from a column/blog from Chicago Sun Times columnist Mary Mitchell (“White president would never hear ‘You lie!’”)about President Obama, President Carter and U.S. Heckler Rep. Joe Wilson, a Republican from South Carolina.

Writes Mitchell:

Say what you will, but former president Jimmy Carter is too old to lie. At 85, he’s seen the best and worst of human nature.

So, when he says the “You lie!” shouted at President Obama during his address to Congress last week was “based on racism,” he is speaking with wisdom.

The heckler, Rep. Joe Wilson, has apologized to the president, and the South Carolina Republican was formally rebuked by the U.S. House on Tuesday.

However, Carter’s comments echoed what a lot of African Americans are thinking.

Would Wilson have heckled a Reagan, or a Bush or a Clinton while these white men were delivering a speech before Congress?

A lot of people believe that Wilson would have bit his tongue before he hurled an insult at a white president.

Really, it was an unbelievable moment.

Wilson shouted that the president of the United States was a liar before the entire Congress and the millions of people who watched the speech on television.

Think about that.

President George Bush was so wrong about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction, he should have been impeached.

People like Rep. Wilson were pretty quiet then.

Maybe they were busy looking for Weapons of Mass Destruction.

ESPN’s LZ Granderson Comments On LeBron ‘Sportsmanship’ Issue

I had an opportunity to read ESPN columnist LZ Granderson’s opinion (I don’t mind differing opinions) about the controversy surrounding Cleveland Cavaliers’ superstar LeBron James walking off the court without shaking hands with Orlando Magic players and blowing off the media following his team’s lost in the NBA’s Eastern Conference Finals. Some have compared it to the infamous 1991 walkout in which most of the Detroit Pistons’ players declined to shake hands with most of the Chicago Bulls’ players. Eighteen years later, those Pistons are still hammered for that decision. In that series, however, there was a lot more to it. There had been a lot of animosity and a lot of nasty things said in the newspapers and elsewhere in the media that precipitated that walkout – even if it did not justify it in the minds of a lot of critics. In LeBron’s case, there seems to have been no animosity (at least not that I am aware of). To some extent, I take LeBron at his word that the competitor in him just wanted to get off the court and be away from it (even if I don’t necessarily agree it was the proper move).

With that being said, here is an excerpt from Granderson’s column:

If this was a real issue for NBA commissioner David Stern, he would not be responding three days later. His reponse on “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” that it’s “fair to say” that he’s upset with LeBron comes across as more public posturing than concern.

You want to know what’s poor sportsmanship?

Brett Favre cutting off all communication with his mentee and supposed friend Aaron Rogers after being traded to the Jets. Or Shaq freestyling about Kobe’s Finals loss — more than four years after being traded from L.A.

That’s poor sportsmanship.

Taking a day to calm down and gather your thoughts, that’s a sign of maturity.

And so I’m also glad that LeBron didn’t apologize for walking off the way that he did, but rather gave us an honest look into what being competitive means to him. After a day to cool off, he said his piece. That to me is much better than ripping teammates he may have to play with or a coach he may have to play under next season.

There is nothing wrong with being a competitor, but there is nothing wrong with congratulating your opponent and wishing your opponent good luck. I am not bashing LeBron and saying he is a bad sport or anything like that. I don’t think he is a bad sport at all. I do see where LZ is coming from. Honestly, I think LeBron James is one of the great sportsmen of his era who simply made a bad decision at an emotional time. My hope is he learns from this lesson and makes the proper decision the next time he is faced with similar circumstances. Some of the greatest competitors in the history of the sport took time to congratulate teams that beat them.

As I wrote in an earlier blog, one of the greatest traditions in all of sports is the National Hockey League handshake line at the end of a hard-fought series.
