Reverend Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, president of the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny (BOND), went on the "Piers Morgan Tonight"show and proceeded to call out both Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for race baiting, calling them "race hustlers and poverty pimps" for inciting racial tensions by inserting race into the death of Trayvon Martin and the George Zimmerman trial for that death, where Zimmerman was found not guilty of second degree murder and manslaughter.
Peterson stated that Sharpton and Jackson inserted race "in order to gain power and wealth."
Other controversial comments by Peterson included call Barack Obama's comments "You know, if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon," insane and called Trayvon Martin a "thug."
