I wanted to write these same facts in a letter to the editors of the Washington Post, in fact I did write a draft but did not send it because I was afraid of being labeled a racist. Juan Williams does not have to worry about being labeled a racist.

Here is my draft letter:
Earlier
this week an unarmed 17-year old African American was shot to death in Sanford,
Florida by a white man. This tragic
incident has caused a national uproar which is puzzling given the daily news of
murder and mayhem occurring in every city and town in America. But you begin to understand when you notice
the usual suspects clamoring to express their outrage over this despicable
act. Not surprisingly first on the scene
was Al Sharpton, he must have a plane fueled and ready on the tarmac to speed
him to what his sixth sense detects as a photo op, as usual he is spurred on by
the media. Sharpton is usually unsurpassed in his indignation and outrage as he
struts in front of the cameras disregarding calm consideration and logical
argument, but Eugene Robinson made Sharpton look amateurish in today’s
Washington Post, “Perils of walking while black”. Robinson states as unequivocal fact that
“…every black man in America…” is fearful that some crazed white man like
George Zimmerman, the alleged culprit in the aforementioned tragedy, is waiting
to gun them down. Like Sharpton,
Robinson ignores the facts and goes straight for fear mongering and
hysteria. It does not take much research
to find out that the vast majority of African American males murdered in this
country are the victims of other African American males, not crazed white men
