Bishop E.W. Jackson Sr., President of STAND (Staying True to America’s National Destiny), a grassroots organization dedicated to ending the racial divide, has denounced the Obama administration, accusing Eric Holder of engaging in “pay-back” against white people in the way the Attorney General’s Office handled the black panther case. During the 2008 Presidential election, two members of the New Black Panther Party stood outside a voting poll in Philadelphia dressed in black uniforms and carrying nightsticks. Film shows that they were physically blocking the voting entrance at times and making racially incendiary statements such as, “Now you are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker.” They also called white voters “devils.”
According to Bishop Jackson, the Black Panther case shows liberal racism in treating minorities like inferior victims entitled to special treatment. J. Christian Adams, former Assistant Attorney General and lead attorney on the Black Panther case, has alleged hostility in Obama’s AG office to bringing any cases of black intimidation of white voters. The case against the Panthers was dismissed even though career Assistant AG’s said it was an easy case which they had already won by default.
The Attorney General accused America of being a “nation of cowards” when it comes to matters of race. “His answer,” asks Jackson, “is to reward racist thugs with special treatment? To give favored treatment to a black group which represents racial hatred? If this were the KKK, would treatment be the same?”
STAND’s President argues that we are witnessing the Jeremiah Wright-Barack Obama connection. As a Pastor himself, Jackson believes that the influence of Wright on Obama is profound and persistent. Therefore, the President appointed an A.G. with the same racial orientation. “Their racial attitudes,” says the Bishop, “are now showing up in administration policy at the highest levels, and this is dangerous.”
Jackson is calling on his supporters to demand a Congressional Investigation and a Special Prosecutor to get to the bottom of the scandal. “This administration,” says Mr. Jackson, “has called the people of Arizona racists. Since they are willing to throw that accusation around, they ought to also answer for their own apparent anti-white racial bias.”
I cannot understand what the president is thinking. It seems to me that he doesn’t understand anything at all about this country or the way our government is supposed to work.
I want to thank you for your work, and for standing with all Americans, as we should. I do believe that what has been happening has been, as you stated, payback politics, by this administration. It is more hurtful since the majority of the people they have aimed it at, have never been party to any racism, and certainly none from the past (such as what happened during slavery and after). Those practising this idea of payback politics are wanting those of us Americans, who are white, to pay for injustices which we never participated in, and also for most of us, would find appalling. This is akin to prosecuting the children of a felon for his/her crimes. It makes no sense. I pray our nation will return to God and begin to come away from the damage done by liberal progressives, and back to a Godly nation, for all of our sake.
I enjoyed your Fox News appearance, thank you for that. The problems of racism we face 2010 seems oddly dramatically overhyped compare to my childhood in the 1970’s. Even if hard data is lacking to quantify/ compare racism’s growth/decline during the last 40 years, we SHOULD be a “less racist” society. Instead the Left has made racism and guilt the news fodder and we regular Americans are silenced for fear of expressing ourselves and being called racist. The irony is that when I go on the Huffington Post /leftist board and suggest that perhaps the Left is misinformed about Obama’s agenda, *I* am called a racist by white Leftists. I am Black and even if I can laugh at their feeble attempt to silence me, I can’t help but wonder how my White conservative brothers and sisters must feel attacked when this charge is thrown on them like a wet blanket.
