One day after hitting the shelves of major bookstores, "Scam" has risen to No. 69 on the Amazon sales list as WND Books author the Rev. Jesse Peterson hits the air waves to promote it.
Peterson is scheduled to appear on MSNBC's "Hardball" at 4:30 p.m. Eastern, and on Sean Hannity's national radio show at 5 p.m. Eastern.
Though the new book has been available through WND for several weeks, it just became available at major bookstores yesterday.
In "Scam: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America," Peterson – a true black leader whom many affectionately call "the other Jesse" – shows how the civil-rights establishment has made a lucrative career out of keeping racial strife alive in America.
He reveals how establishment black leaders endlessly promise solutions to the problems of America's inner cities, but deliver only ineffective Band-Aids. From the dismal failure of the welfare system, to the farce of the slavery-reparations movement, to the problems within black churches and the hypocrisy and corruption of current black "leaders," Peterson argues compellingly that the real crisis we face is spiritual, and that no economic solution will suffice. He skillfully weaves the realms of politics, culture, psychology and religion into this profound and relevant book.
