Subject: RE: BS: NPR fires Juan Williams
You know, that's a funny thing about "feelings". They are neither right nor wrong. They are just feelings. They might be appropriate to the situation or not. They are just feelings. Most of us cannot help how we feel about some things. We might condition ourselves to feel one way or another or perhaps to not feel one way or another, depending how those feelings affect our functionality within our society. Maybe you "feel" that it's inapropriate to give voice to those feelings or any feelings. That's YOUR choice but to condemn a man for honestly stating how he feels in a given situation? Come on. And not only that, I believe that Mr. williams only made the comment to demostrate that we cannot always go by feelings as they are not always rational. Schiller was gunning for Williams because he didn't fit her "profile" of what a black NPR newsman should be.
