National Public Radio's (NPR) firing of Juan Williams had less to do with his (benign) remarks about Muslims on airliners, but more about finding a pretext to dump him. Just yesterday, NPR CEO Vivian Schiller stooped to name-calling against Williams, stating, "that whatever feelings Williams has about Muslims should be between him and 'his psychiatrist or his publicist -- take your pick'." This belies the deep resentment NPR held against Williams for his "controversial" views. Many at NPR probably considered Williams an "Uncle Tom," just as the same left-wing epithets were tossed at great minds like Condi Rice and Colin Colin Powell. Williams' Muslim remarks were just a pretext for NPR to do what it's wanted to do for a long time: Fire Williams and derive perverse pleasure from it. Here's Williams being "controversial," speaking the truth, caring for his own community with passion, and encouraging self-responsibility:
... A streak of self-determination rises at every turn in the history of black American leadership. But since the stunning success of the modern civil rights movement--the steady rise since the Brown decision in the number of college-educated black people, as well as the concurrent growth in incomes, home ownership, and black elected officials--the strong focus on self-determination has faded, at the moment when its impact could have been the most powerful. In its place is a tired rant by civil rights leaders about the power of white people--what white people have done wrong, what white people didn't do, and what white people should do. This rant puts black people in the role of hapless victims waiting for only one thing--white guilt to bail them out. ...
NPR CEO Vivian Schiller not only suffers from white guilt, but most likely wants to maintain her subconscious notion of superiority over the people she claims to want to "help," and keep them where they are so she can maintain her self-gratifying, haughty position of "helping."
Where have the above "leaders" been on this issue? They probably are between a rock and a hard place.

Hi NMH! I’m a huge fan of Fox News, but disagree with the prevalent concept of “fair & balanced” in terms of journalism. Reporting need only be “truthful & accurate”; the fairness will win out via truth. However, truth might be sacrificed in the search for balance. I wish they’d qualify their f&b statement with the word “commentary”.
She’ll probably “disappear” from FOX....................
Just a reminder to all the black people, the MSM/ Liberal/Democratic Muslim Party is not your friend.
Thanks for the email address. I sent her the number for the suicide hotline. I figure she might need it about now.
‘Name-calling’ (from the dictionary): the use of offensive names especially to win an argument or to induce rejection or condemnation
A name is a noun.
Again this woman (and NPR) is contemptible, but my beef is the exaggeration. She didn't call him a name.
Juan Williams was treated like a runaway slave and lynched from his job by the white liberal overseers at NPR.
Oh, the irony...
Guilty.... just so guilty.... I threw up in my mouth a little...
