“Backed by growing respect as a passionate and courageous pursuer of truth, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson - "the other Jesse" - is taking on America's "self-appointed" black leaders with his new book "Scam."

"I don't recall the entire black race in this country taking a national vote to elect Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, the NAACP, California Congresswoman Maxine Waters, the Congressional Black Caucus or liberal black preachers as our leaders," Peterson writes, "yet they've seized the mantle of leadership and claim to speak for all blacks in this nation."

One day after hitting the shelves of major bookstores, "Scam: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America," has risen to No. 62 on the Amazon sales list as WND Books author Peterson hits the air waves to promote it.

Peterson, born on a cotton plantation in Midway, Ala., does not mince words, asserting the leadership of black activists today has proven to be disastrous. "These arrogant elitists have given us a continuous diet of racism, paranoia, affirmative action programs and higher welfare checks," he says, "and many display little or no personal integrity in their own lives."

Admitting his positions are not politically correct, he says, "I'm convinced that the lack of moral character in many black men is the primary cause of the breakdown of the black family, high crime rates, domestic violence and other social problems within the black community."

Black families once were strong, he writes, but today 70 percent of black children are born out of wedlock and black men comprise nearly 50 percent of the prison population.

But Peterson does not stop there. He offers proven solutions, stressing character, the building of strong family units, returning black churches to their spiritual purpose and helping individuals reach their full potential.

His aim, he has said, is to unite "the races based on truth, rather than dividing them based on lies, and rebuilding the family by rebuilding the man."
