The Roanoke Slant

Haven’t seen the Roanoke Times Editorial staff's views on Juan Williams’ new book or the left-wing attacks upon him.
-
Juan Williams, a black liberal journalist who worked for the Washington Post, has drawn intense liberal fire for his latest book "Enough".
His transgression is that he views many black cultural and economic issues in the same light Bill Cosby does and focuses on the importance of self-empowerment and personal responsibility.
-
Hopefully these gentlemen will encourage other enlightened folks to emerge and counter the failed views of the Jesse Jackson’s and the Al Twana Sharpton’s.

NPR Interviews Juan Williams’ on his new book: Enough
NPR (national public radio) Morning Edition 8/7/06
Many African-American leaders have lost touch with a hallmark of the civil rights movement -- the tradition of self-empowerment, Juan Williams says in his new book. Instead, they've embraced the notion of "victimhood," the NPR senior correspondent says.
His book is called Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-End Movements, and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America -- and What We Can Do About It.
