The old "broken clock is right twice a day" syndrome strikes again. Juan is a political moron about most things, but he's got that one right.
Can't wait to see the attacks launched against him by his former pals on the far left!

Woah, Juan Williams is saying this? I don't think I've ever agreed with him until now.

African American troubles are, well, so 20th Century. Black people are just one of the many colorful ethnic groups which make up Aztlan. Learn Spanish my friends. If you're on the East Coast, you might consider Portugese.

Here is Cosby at the very start of his famous speech:"I heard a prizefight manager say to his fellow, who was losing badly, 'David, listen to me, it's not what he's doing to you. It's what you're not doing.'"
I remember hearing another quote from Cosby that I've always liked - "I don't know what the secret to success is, but I know that the secret of failure is trying to please everyone.

Woah, Juan Williams is saying this? While I applaud Juan for stepping up and saying these things, while at CNN, wasn't he a part of the machine that he now criticizes? Didn't CNN cut its teeth by promoting "victimhood" by minorities in its one-sided news stories?

He was attacked several years ago. I think it's what got him to write more on this subject.

If his name wasn't Juan and he didn't have a privileged skin color, he'd be without portfolio.

He was talking to Fred Barnes yesterday. He mentioned that he can't get anyone in the old media to put him on to promote his book.
He's getting it.

Old Juan is interviewed on tv quite often for his commentary. I have come to enjoy his POV. He seems to hard to tag as left or right on quite a number of subjects. I have heard him speak on this subject and he makes alot of sense. If blacks are truly "held down" and discriminated against as most still believe, that make people like Juan even MORE capable than their brothers for overcoming all the perceived racism. If he can rise above it all, that makes the "victim" issue even less worthy of reason. That is why he will be called out on the carpet by all the leftists and race hustlers.

How to think like a loser:
1)Everybody is a racist
2)It's everyone else's fault
3)It's not my responsibility
4)Everybody is unfair to me
5)It's too hard
6)It's no use

Hey liberal Juan - live it & love it. You made your bed all of these yrs with those pukes. I as one will never accept anything you say. You & that "deer in the lights' looking nag from NPR are again the reasons why I never watch you on Sundays & my guess is the Shannity & Combs fiasco will start losing viewers. Liberalism isn't worth a minute of discussion.
