Juan Williams Book

Juan Williams builds off a speech by Bill Cosby asking the question why so many black Americans are still living like the were locked out from what America has to offer.

He touches on topics such as black politicians, teachers, civil rights leaders, and the transformation of rap music. This is the definitive tome of Juan Williams and now that he's fired we might be hearing from this guy.

David Garrow from Cambridge University says this book is, "Written in the tradition of DuBois and King, Enough is an impressively powerful and courageous book." I think it might be worth a look especially if you really want to decide whether Williams deserves this recent attention on his view points.

Juan Williams Fired

Juan Williams was fired from his job as an NPR news analyst today over comments he made on Bill O'Reilly's show earlier this week. Here they are raw and uncut.

BO: "Where am I going wrong here Juan?"
JW:  "I'm not a bigot, but when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worries. I get nervous."

Despite his rambling propensity for running on, he was just speaking his mind. Why exactly do people's views and idiologies need to match up perfectly with their employers? Isn't diversity what every hyper-PC organization out there loves to portray?
