His slogan: &#8220;Uniting the Races With Truth Instead of Dividing Them With Lies.&#8221; His mission: To expose race hustlers like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, the NAACP, and others.\u00a0 Visit his web site (B.O.N.D.) for links to listen to his radio program.\u00a0 Web site: <a href=\"http:\/\/bondinfo.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.bondinfo.org<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The exchange began with Peterson claiming that race played no role in the highly-publicized tragedy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_9_1_1_1374443141793_768\">&#8220;This case was not about race at all and what happened &#8211;\u00a0 you have the race-hustlers and poverty pimps like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and others who turned it into a race issue in order to gain power and wealth,&#8221; he charged.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_9_1_21_1374443141793_214\">Peterson also targeted President Barack Obama, calling his past comment about Martin (&#8220;You know, if I had a son, he&#8217;d look like Trayvon&#8221;) &#8220;insane.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These statements, he said, were intended to &#8220;incite the anger of black Americans and others.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_9_1_21_1374443141793_217\">Morgan, clearly in disagreement with Peterson throughout the interview, asked if Zimmerman would have taken the same deadly action had Martin been, say, a white individual in a hoodie &#8212; someone like Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg. Peterson, not willing to back down, said that he believes the situation would have ended in the same manner.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the situation that happened with Trayvin and George had been the same, yes &#8230; I imagine that the same outcome would have been the same,&#8221; he said. &#8220;George Zimmerman would have done whatever it took to protect himself. It didn&#8217;t matter to George Zimmerman the color of the man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The interview became contentious when Peterson proclaimed that &#8220;Trayvon Martin was a thug.&#8221; Morgan fervently disagreed and took exception to the fact that the faith leader said that everyone, including the television host and Martin&#8217;s parents, knew this assertion to be true.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_9_1_1_1374443141793_770\">Morgan said, &#8220;Don&#8217;t you speak for me,&#8221; noting that &#8220;there&#8217;s very little evidence that Trayvon Martin was a thug.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>WATCH THE VIDEO OF THE INTERVIEW &#8211; CLICK LARGE ARROW IN THE CENTER BELOW<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><object width=\"420\" height=\"315\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/tauc4CeM_IE?hl=en_US&amp;version=3&amp;rel=0\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed width=\"420\" height=\"315\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/tauc4CeM_IE?hl=en_US&amp;version=3&amp;rel=0\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_8_1_1_1374443307411_370\">\n<h3 id=\"yui_3_8_1_1_1374443307411_369\"><a id=\"link-1\" href=\"http:\/\/search.yahoo.com\/r\/_ylt=A0oG7mksV.xRv08AWL5XNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTEzM2I4MWVpBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2FjMgR2dGlkA1ZJUDA0OV8x\/SIG=118rt9icv\/EXP=1374472108\/**http%3a\/\/bondinfo.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b id=\"yui_3_8_1_1_1374443307411_368\">Please visit &#8211; Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/bondinfo.org\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BROTHERHOOD ORGANIZATION OF A NEW DESTINY B.O.N.D.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country.
