Jesse Lee Peterson's Controversial Tweet
I was scrolling Twitter a little while ago and ran across the following Tweet from author and media personality, Jesse Lee Peterson...
"Thank God for The Great White Hope: Black unemployment is at a low! Obama couldn't do it. No black "leader" could. It took @realDonaldTrump the White Savior to black people to help them out of their hole!"
My personal opinion is I think brother Jesse may have gone too far. But I didn't respond because I get the gist of what he's saying. Also, I kind of like ticking off the Left and others who insist on staying on the Democrat plantation.
And there were some that took issue with it. He only Tweeted it a few hours ago, so I don't think many people have seen it yet. It may get deleted before the masses get to read it though.
What say ye?

Yeah, I think that is way overboard. Phrases like "great white hope" and "white savior" is not only castigating his own skin color (as if ability to get things done has anything to do with skin pigmentation) but it is also exalting Trump above Jesus. Personally, I don't think could have accomplished anything near what he did if he had not submitted to the REAL SAVIOR, Jesus Christ, and if he did not have millions of born again Christians constantly interceding for him. Jesse needs to get a grip.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
It's just attention seeking. More clicks!
Too bad.

"the white hope" is what people used to call white boxers and other athletes around the mid-1900s in sports that were dominated by non-whites. It was typically used by people that couldn't really accept that the winner or the top athlete in the sport wasn't white. Jesse Owens beat all the white hopes of the Nazi regime at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin for instance.

Over the years, I've found Jesse Lee to be an interesting voice and personality, and I get what he's saying too, but I think we can all agree that he's not the most articulate "spokesperson" for conservative, black folk.

I agree. He’s like the President in a lot of ways.

LOL...yep! From a wiki article on him:
...On September 21, 2005, Peterson penned a column for WorldNetDaily, in which he suggested the majority of the African-American people stranded in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina were "welfare-pampered", "lazy" and "immoral". Peterson also criticized New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin for blaming President George W. Bush for his lack of response to the crisis, stating that "responsibility to perform legally and practically fell first on the Mayor of New Orleans."[12] He has also claimed that African Americans are too dependent on affirmative action, calling it an entitlement.[13]
Peterson once called for the resignation of Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele, saying he was not conservative enough but that Republicans were afraid of firing a black man.[14] Peterson thanked "God and white people" for slavery—adding that if it weren't for the slave trade, blacks might have never made it to the United States—and described traveling on slave ships as akin to "being on a crowded airplane"...
