Cut him some slack. How brave would you be, raised to believe oppression, etc., then finding out, discovering, it might not be the case? It is easy to arm-chair quarterback.

He is a brave guy; I applaud him. He is going against everything he was taught. And will certainly buy his book.

I want the insight.

"Watch him get suspended from NPR for this."

This interview was ON NPR. He had already written the book; they knew what he was going to say.

OH, don't worry about Juan Williams. He has plenty of party line liberalism in him. He is about 80% straight off the DNC talking points. That he is suddenly speaking publicly about the abject failure of black 'leadership' to actually lead is where he is out of step with his masters.

Otherwise, he is pro-affirmative action, pro-abortion, pro-public school monopoly, pro-palestinian, pro-appeasement, pro-minimum wage hikes, pro-forced unionization, pro-gay marriage, pro-hyphenated americans and anti-American winning anyplace in the world. He is clearly still ON the plantation but maybe this is going to be his singular revolt before he gets kicked off NPR for questioning liberalisms commandment: Thou Shalt Become A Victim.

No argument. I agree.
