Jesse Lee Peterson is a black conservative commentator, and he seems to believe that both Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin were thugs.
From Right Wing Watch:
As we have noted before, Jesse Lee Peterson of the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny has carved out quite a niche for himself as a black conservative commentator who is quite willing to defend just about any white person accused of racism by arguing that it is black people who are the true racists in America.
So naturally, Steve Malzberg brought Peterson onto his Newsmax radio program today to share his thoughts on the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, which Peterson declared to be perfectly justified because Brown was a "thug," just like Trayvon Martin.
Do we have some projection going on here? It appears to me that Mr. Peterson is projecting his own opportunism on to Al Sharpton and Trayvon Martin's family attorney.
