Quotes from Jesse Lee Peterson

The Democrats are evil, and they crave power. They're willing to destroy any decent man or woman to attain it.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
Alex Jones is not the first broadcaster targeted by intolerant left-wing activists. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, and others have all been targeted, and they've been fighting against censorship for decades.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
I realized that I could think for myself, and that "The Black Experience" was a myth used to control black people.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
As much as some people hate to admit it, and as angry as it makes many black people, the undeniable fact is that the greatest enemies to black progress today are within the black community itself, not in American society at large.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
As black people, we must recognize that our real battle is with ourselves, not with society. It is not racism but the civil rights establishment, with its victim-centered mentality and irrational fury at white America that mentally cripples blacks, teaching them to find the means of success outside of themselves in government programs, and urging them to find the origin of their greatest problems in white society.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
But the politically-incorrect truth is that racism today is a state of mind, more than a social reality.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
Oh yes, it exists, and the news media is always quick to highlight examples of anti-black racial hostility, but it is not the all-powerful, institutional beast so many say it is. But once people believe racism is their main problem, they become subject to that idea, and it prevents them from progressing.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
Despite a $4 million cash settlement, King could never quite get his life in order. In the ensuing years he was arrested multiple times for driving under the influence – in several cases after causing accidents and once after knocking his wife down with his car. His businesses failed. His marriages failed.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
It is one of the great ironies of our time that those who pass for "black leaders" are so vocal about every perceived racial slight, and yet are not only silent—but even supportive—of the most overt and destructive attack on black Americans: abortion on demand.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
T]oday some people continue to view themselves as victims because of the historical suffering of their group and because it is easy and comforting to do so. And this renders happiness virtually impossible. First…perceiving yourself as a victim makes you unhappy. Second, it makes you permanently angry, which further guarantees unhappiness. Third, it enables you to avoid confronting whatever it is that is really making you unhappy.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
once people believe racism is their main problem, they become subject to that idea, and it prevents them from progressing.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
But, in fact, because of so many black peoples' unthinking allegiance to the Democratic Party (which is absolutist on abortion and does not permit serious expressions of pro-life sentiment), black people fail to recognize the clear similarity between their history and the plight of the pre-born today, and are some of the most ardent supporters of abortion on demand.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
The great irony, rarely recognized, is that abortion in America was initially conceived and advocated for the purpose of reducing the black population. Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and one of the champions of the abortion rights movement, was an unapologetic eugenicist and a racist, and wanted minorities and the poor to have abortions.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
Abortion was seen by her as a way of "improving" the population. She did not intend its widespread use among whites, and is famous for her slogan "More [children] from the fit, and less from the unfit." Who are the unfit? The black poor.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
The undiscussed truth is that Planned Parenthood still operates in line with these ideas today. Planned Parenthood clinics—and abortion clinics generally—are frequently located in inner city areas where they can prey on poor minority women, and receive public funds for doing so.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
If people adopt the values that make for personal success—hard work, careful spending of money, sustained effort, delayed gratification—and keep themselves psychologically healthy by rejecting rage and resentment as the controlling attitudes of their lives, they will do well.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
The effect? A remarkably disproportionate number of black babies are aborted. The abortion rate per 1000 women for whites is 18, for blacks 54, and for others 38.46
~ Jesse Lee Peterson

~ Jesse Lee Peterson
Thomas Sowell asserts that by the late 1960's, black men from families with a library card, magazines and other literature in the home reached high-level occupations as often as white males of similar backgrounds.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
Much of black leadership would rather deny racial progress than claim credit for it, apparently finding more political power in highlighting problems rather than in solving them.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
As William Raspberrry put it, "Much of black leadership would rather deny racial progress than claim credit for it, apparently finding more political power in highlighting problems rather than in solving them.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
The crime and violence in the black community is a prime example of the damaging effect of broken families and single female-headed households.
~ Jesse Lee Peterson
