Surprise, surprise!
While Juan Williams is part of the NPR crowd…which makes me wretch…I usually see him when he is on one of the various radio shows I listen to daily (Boortz, Ingraham, Crowley and Rush, of course). Throughout the election process, I found him to be one of the few who actually questioned PBO (President Barack Obama for those of you in Carter Lake) and was searching for genuine honest answers. Of course, he never received them but I applaud him for asking. This article is one for the masses where he hits the mark dead spot on.
I would further opine that it matters not whether our president is black, white, green orange or purple. The color of a man’s skin is NOT what should be debated…and is not what I will debate or discuss. It is irrelevant. Am I naïve enough to think that racism does not exist? No. Do I believe that we (the media and the usual race suspects, Jackson, Sharpton, et al) perpetuate the problem? Absolutely. Adding the phrase “African-American” to a story or report is superfluous. Kind of like putting a “D” or “R” behind an elected official. Let’s stop doing that, report the facts and leave the mind making to the reader or listener. We’re pretty smart.
