Last year, we noted WorldNetDaily columnist Jesse Lee Peterson’s tendency to invoke his black-conservative privilege to say things that would be denounced as racist had they come from the mouth or pen of a white person — for instance, calling a black woman a “Negress” or mocking Black History Month. Not only hasn’t he stopped doing it, he’s ratcheting things up.
Peterson began his Sept. 24 column this way:
We have the greatest president in the history of America. I thank God for President Donald Trump, “The Great White Hope”!
At long last, a white man with courage speaks the truth, and he takes no mess from America-hating, liberal black liars tearing the country apart.
Now, the phrase “great white hope” was coined in the early 20th century by writer Jack London, who wanted a white boxer to defeat Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight champion. At one point, London implored one white boxer to return to the ring and take on Johnson by writing, “The White Man must be rescued.”
Peterson surely knows the racially charged origin of that phrase, yet he used it anyway. It’s as if he thinks blacks who don’t share his right-wing thinking need to be dominated like millions of racist whites thought Jack Johnson should be — again, the sentiment of a white supremacist. Not unlike earlier this year, when Peterson proclaimed Trump our “white savior.”
Peterson continued his rant, which once again sounded like it should have been published at VDARE:
If leftists cared about black lives, why don’t they encourage black men and women to marry before making babies out of wedlock? Blacks commit abortion at more than twice the rate whites do, killing nearly one-third of their children in the womb. (In New York City, some years, more than half of black pregnancies end in abortion.) This deadens blacks’ souls, making them an unhappy and cruel people, with no peace. Of the black kids who survive, 72 percent are born out of wedlock, most raised without their fathers by angry black mothers and grandmothers. Black boys and girls grow up angry, sexual and, in many cases, violent.
President Obama did nothing to help – but only made things worse, promoting homosexuality and transgender madness instead of morality and marriage, expanding abortion in the U.S. and abroad. Obama investigated the police instead of rampant black violence and black brutality. Obama pushed the false illusions of “racism,” blame and excuses for black failure and rioting. He divided the country and darkened the souls of black people.
These professional athletes fawn over Barack Obama, but they hate President Trump, who sets a good example as a man of truth with love for the people. Trump aims to help black Americans out of their hell. Yet phony Christians like NBA’s Golden State Warriors player Stephen Curry does White House photo shoots with Obama and then shuns President Trump.
If Peterson thinks Trump tells the truth and remains so angry at Obama — not to mention invoking notoriously racist rhetoric against people the same skin color as him — methinks the unhappy, cruel person with no peace is Peterson.
