Juan Williams
 
OK someone has to ask. Was Juan Williams fired from NPR because he told his truth? I don't think I have to post any link. Everyone is aware of the situation by now.

Where is the NAACP stepping in on the behalf of Juan? A black man being fired for making an honest statement reguarding his uneasiness is now an offence deserving termination? What about the ACLU?
Didn’t Barack Obama relate a story reguarding his erstwhile mother crossing the street to avoid what she saw as a threat, ‘typical white woman’?

Post the link for posterity reasons.

Actually, I'm not familiar with the story at all. I don't watch cable news, and I don't listen to NPR. I gather from what you have said that he was fired for comments of some sort, but I don't really know anything about the guy other than he is a cable news commentator. Didn't know he was on NPR.

What do you think about his firing?

AVGWarhawk 10-21-10 03:32 PM
And no he should not have been fired.

Where is Al Sharpton? Will he not defend this man? Will he agree to the firing? What is if this was a white person who spilled out his real feelings?

I'm not aware that Barack Obama is POTUS. Please don't insult the membership's intellagence. It is insulting.

If he does not know about the story he does not know. I just happened to see it this morning and read it quickly. If I had not I guess I would be insulting.

Get off the high horse. :O:

I was not insulting anyone. I don't watch or listen to any of his programs, and I haven't seen any news today, so I really didn't know anything about it. This is something that you find strangely offensive. So much for attempting engagement.

It is hard to be on a high horse when so often accused of being disengenuos. But those who are on the high horse are given a pass.

And....back on topic. I think the man should have kept this job but then it would have created a double standard no?
