Leading Black Conservative: Dems Cry ‘Racism’ To Keep Black Americans ‘Brainwashed’ [VIDEO]

The Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference ended Sunday, and Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, a former Democrat who grew up on an Alabama plantation, named the Congressional Black Caucus one of many “race hustlers” that work to “keep black Americans angry and demoralized for power and wealth to themselves.”

“They keep them in a state of anger and confusion so they can use them for their personal gain,” Peterson said. Other named “race hustlers” are President Barack Obama, the NAACP, many black preachers, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan and more.

Peterson believes Obama’s legacy will be “a failure. He’s a socialist. He has not impacted the lives of black Americans for the good.” He continued, “He will go down in history as the worst, the most resented president we have ever had thus far.”

Asked to react to former President Bill Clinton’s claims that Republican nominee Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” message is a dog-whistle to southern white racists, Peterson pointed out, “Bill Clinton is a liar.”

He said Democrats throw the word racism around to keep black Americans “brainwashed and dumb-downed and angry just to get the vote.”

In this exclusive video interview for The Daily Caller News Foundation, Rev. Peterson said that “Many black people don’t like Hillary. They like him [Bill].”

As new polls show record numbers of blacks surprisingly supporting the Republican nominee for president, Peterson said many blacks like Trump’s courage, his authenticity in speaking and his independence. He is also a Trump fan.

Peterson described Black Lives Matter, embraced by Obama, as “evil, wicked, an agitating group.”

“They are worse than the KKK. If BLM was a white organization, and doing exactly what they are doing now, America would not accept them,” Peterson said. But, because Obama gives them support, and white people are afraid, “they are allowed to bring on destruction in this country.”

“Can you imagine a bunch of people shouting, ‘What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want them? Now!’ and then people go out and start killing cops, and Barack Obama still accepts these people?,” he said, speaking of the chants heard at Black Lives Matter events.

Despite living under Jim Crow laws, Peterson was never taught to hate white people. Instead he remembers being guided to treat people as they would like to be treated.

In this video, Peterson details his path from Jim Crow times, to feeling angry with whites, to his personal transformation that gave him “perfect peace” 28 years ago.  Then, he asked God to forgive him for being a Democrat, he said. When he became a conservative Republican, “that’s when all hell broke loose, because it’s easier to be a member of the KKK than it is to be a black conservative Republican,” Peterson says.

He started the organization BOND to help black families and black men without getting one dime from the government.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
