Al Franken is de-clothing Juan Williams on AAR now. |
|
Telling Williams, in so many words, that his book is basically the minstrel show that Williams is accusing Dave Chapelle of doing.

4. Juan Williams from NPR ... |
|
also appears on faux news as the token black liberal, but usually just agrees with whatever Brit Hume says.

on Faux.
They both sold their souls to the devil.

33. Yes, although he's not one that is being paid by the |
|
fascist criminal whitehouse to "report" favorable stories for the SS. He beleives what he says and is VERY SMUG about it.

Isn't he the one that one of the clowns at Faux said something racist to about 4 months ago. I can't remember the circumstances now.

7. William's book is entitled "Enough". |
|
In it, he criticizes blacks for what he believes is perpetuating the black stereotype: violent, immoral and welfare dependent. He attacks people like Snoop Dog and Dave Chapelle.
Franken is saying that Williams is doing the same thing in his book that he accuses others of doing. And Williams did not rebut Franken. I think Franken is right.

10. If You Write A Book Attacking Jesse Jackson, and Other Prominent... |
|
African Americans, it gets published. It's a form of racism by proxy. Shelby Steele, Larry Elder, and now Juan Williams have done this to enrich themselves.
The problems of poor African American working class people is the same as the problems of all poor working class Americans, a profound lack of jobs that can lift them out of poverty and into the middle class.
Anti-social behavior, drugs, crimes, illeteracy, etc. are tied into a culture of economic hopelessness. These kids won't straighten up and fly right if they don't see a real path in front of them, and there's nothing that Dave Chappelle, Snoop Dog, Bill Cosby, nor Jesse Jackson can do.
The only solution involves a deep investment by the government into poor communities through education and other programs that can lift these people out of poverty. Once they see a path, then they will follow it, because low paying jobs at McDonald's ain't gonna do it.

22. Williams trying to defend O'Reilly now. |
|
Williams is a hypocrite, just like all the other rethugs. Notice how he sidesteps Franken's point about O'Reilly dissing the NO blacks.
Nice job by Franken, exposing the hypocrite.

29. Williams said in his book... |

that O'Reilly was the most popular talk show host on TV. Franken pointed out that Leno and Oprah get better ratings and Williams sheepishly replied "I meant on cable TV, and you should know what I mean by that"

24. Hell, At Least When Cosby Criticized Blacks |

He did so in their faces in the belly of the beast, and continues to do so in the black community. All Juan Williams is doing is making a few bucks off of College Republicans.

31. Williams' project was more authentic when Ice Cube did it |
|
Us Ice Cube
Verse One:
Could you tell me who released our animal instinct? Got the white man sittin' there tickled pink. Laughin' at us on the avenue Bustin' caps at each other after havin' brew We can't enjoy ourselves Too busy jealous... Of each other's wealth Commin' up is just in me But the Black community is full of envy Too much back-stabbin' While I look up the street I see all the japs grabbin' Every vacant lot in my neighborhood Build a store, and sell their goods To the county of sips (?) You know us po niggas: nappy hair and big lips? Four or five babies on your crotch And you expect Uncle Sam to help us out? We ain't nothin' but porchmonkeys To the average bigot, redneck honky You say comin' up is a must But before we can come up, take a look at US
Verse Two:
And all y'all dope-dealers... Your as bad as the po-lice- cause ya kill us You got rich when you started slangin' dope But you ain't built us a supermarket So when can spend our money with the blacks Too busy buyin' gold an' Caddilacs That's what ya doin' with the money that ya raisin' Exploitin' us like the Caucasians did For 400 years - I got 400 tears- for 400 peers Died last year from gang-related crimes That's why I got gang-related rhymes But when I do a show ta kick some facts Us Blacks don't know how ta act Sometimes I believe the hype, man We're messin' up ourselves and blame the white man But don't point the finger you jiggaboo Take a look at yourself ya dumb nigga you Pretty soon hip-hop won't be so nice No Ice Cube, just Vannilla Ice And yall sit and scream and cus But there's no one ta blame- but US
Verse Three:
US ... will always sing the blues 'Cause all we care about is hairstyles and tennis shoes But if ya step on mine ya pushed a button Cause I'll beat you down like it ain't nothin' Just like a beast But I'm the first nigga ta holler out (PEACE, BLACK MAN) I beat my wife and children to a pulp When I get drunk and smoke dope Got a bad heart condition Still eat hog-mogs an' chitlin's Bet my money on the dice and the horses Jobless, so I'm a hope for the armed forces Go to church but they tease us Wit' a picture of a blue-eyed Jesus They used to call me Negro After all this time I'm still bustin up the chiffarobe No respect and didn't know it And I'm havin' more babies than I really can afford In jail 'cause I can't pay the mother Held back in life because of my color Now this is just a little summary Of US, but yall think it's dumb of me To put a mirror to ya face, but trust Nobody gives a fuck about...

35. Juan turned a long time ago. I thought I was going loopy. |

But he's in unity with the yellow line and dead armadillos for sure. Hope the man's getting paid at least. One thing's for sure. They'll toss him in the fire like a used tissue when they can.
