Subject: RE: BS: NPR fires Juan Williams
I think he probably knew he could not say such things..but I think he spoke honestly for himself and it opens the doors for more people speaking honestly about racial issues..and the main racial issue is not that we want to dominate other groups, but that we are afraid of them, in very physical, primal ways..not fear that they will surpass us in the job market or have more money, but that they will beat us up, sometimes for good historical cause.

So another door has been closed. Healing racial problems will only come through a good long time or through some honesty. It also is something that people can understand and respond to..as in, we did not realize that was the problem. We really are not scary people once you get to know us.

I liked him and he spoke the truth on many issues and ..oh well. mg
