NPR was RIGHT to discipline Juan Williams! I'm with them 1,000% |

I'm a black man myself, and I say he got what he deserved.
I'm disgusted with everyone defending him because they let themselves take in the same hatred and ignorance into their heart, especially FoxNews who gave this fool 2 million dollars effectively funding ignorance one more time, surely in the name of the all-loving God of Abraham and Constitution and Declaration of Independence guaranteeing fair treatment for all and the belief that God believes all men are created equal that all of those phonies claim to believe in.
I'm a black man, I've known what it feels like to walk into a store and get weird looks like "what's he going to steal?", I know what it feels like to walk down the street and make the mistake of walking in the same direction as some pretty white girl and get weird looks from her like I'm going to rape her!
Juan Williams, FoxNews, everyone blasting NPR, everyone defending what he said, they all make me SICK! And you know what else? I'm not a bigot or anything, but I get nervous when millions stupid people participate elections.

and loved your last sentence. What could he have been thinking? What he said promoted stereotyping and bigotry and he knows that. Media personalities have lost any sense of responsibility about what they are saying on air - it is turning into a free association session. I do blame FOX for lowering the bar for all of media.

5. I hear NPR is getting grief over this. |

It reinforces the view that NPR is liberal and may jeopardize funding. Although if they want to put their funding at risk I guess that is their prerogative.
