REV. JESSE LEE PETERSON COMMENTARY: Driving Bentleys and Crying Racism By Molotov - Booker Rising The conservative Rev. goes to town about Hollywood's black stars, who he argues whine too much about racism in a country that has provided them with untold fame and riches. "The disgraceful hypocrisy of these highly successful black Americans is saddening, as it sends a poor message to black youth who look to these men as role models. Rather than emphasizing keys to success, men like these give black youth a ready excuse for failure – racism – even as this racism seems not to affect their own success." Rev. makes good points. We're tired of many Hollywooder's claiming victimhood akin to the Sudanese or Saddam-era Iraqis because they were passed over for a role. Please! However, does Rev. not believe that actual cases of racism are even possible - yes, even to successful blacks?
