Pastor Jesse Lee Peterson Claims Obama Racist Against Whites, Mother ‘Hated Being White’

But Peterson objected, claiming that Obama doesn’t identify with his white half at all and speculated that his mother was at the root of these alleged opinions.

“His mother, she hated her color,” Peterson said. “She hated being white and I’m thinking, I don’t have a whole lot of proof of this, but I do know she hated her color, hated being white. I think he may have been brought up not to accept that side of himself and that adds to him being a racist because he doesn’t really respect white folks.”

Peterson also called Obama evil, a socialist and possibly a Muslim.

Right wing activists (and according to BuzzFeed, a bunch of people on social media) have long claimed — without proof — that Obama is racist. But this unsupported accusation against his mother, Ann Dunham, is new.

Peterson, on the other hand, created controversy of a different sort in May 2012, when he gave a sermon claiming “one of the greatest mistakes America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote.”
