Mr. Rachel, thank you for your brilliant insight and even more brilliant honesty. You may not get the financial rewards or proper admiration your talents deserve in this life, but I have no doubt you'll be well compensated in the next my friend. We need to get you a weekly opinion editorial spot on Fox News so the world can see you shine.
I remember watching this and asking if anyone would call him out on it, I hardly agree with Juan William's on everything but he certainly does not deserve demeaning comments like that. Glad you brought it up Mr. Rachel.
Look I don't agree with all of Juan's views, but he has been a stalwart voice encouraging the African American community to look inward for solutions to the issues which affect their lives like those Zo outlined. I was, I think dismayed is the best word, at the way this liberal talk show host treated him.
Juan is a stand up guy, not an angry guy. I wish more in the black community would aspire to be like him rather then so many of the icons which inhabit the rap culture or professional sports.
Thanks Alfonzo for saying what those of us who are melanin challenged can't.

Asute comment relating Planned Parenthood to genocide. Abortion is not an equal opportunity killer.
I agree with Just A Grunt. Juan's pretty liberal on most issues, but he's always been reasonable. The fact that he not only recognized that Rush was getting framed, but spoke up about it and took the (predictable) consequences like a man is a breath of fresh air.
Zo really nailed the hypocrisy of the left and in particular those who employ a double standard regarding the use of racial epithets against those who disagree with them.
Also, Donut is adorable. Get that evil stuffed bunny there, bud!
I agree with your opinion on Williams. He's a liberal through and through, but he's not a modern liberal, where you have to hate, lie, cheat, steal, and in general crap all over every one who doesn't agree with them.
He reminds me what the democratic party used to be when I was knee high to a grasshopper. Americans first, democrats second.
It is refreshing to see an enlightened black man understanding the shackles that the Democrat party places upon the black community. And obviously it has to take an inner awareness to know that you have been used. And Democrats are good at using uneducated minorities. Because they are such reliable gullible cheap votes.
Juan Williams is a reliable liberal, but unlike most reliable liberals, he's likable. Furthermore, unlike most of the liberals' useful idiots, he isn't an idiot and makes up his own mind on the issues — hence, he'll wander off the libral plantation now and then. When he does, the liberal slavers bring out the whips and do everything in their power to drive him back onto the liberal plantation. (Can't have black people makin' up dey own minds, you know). What the talk show host called him is common but says more about the talk show host than it does about Mr. Williams who, as always, was and is a gentleman of class and character. I don't agree with Juan Williams on much and wish he'd take off the blinders sometime and see what liberal policies have done to the majority of his people, but he does not deserve to be treated with disrespect by anyone.
Before seeing this, I had absolutely no idea that "porch monkey" was a racial slur. Heck, I'd never even heard the term "porch monkey" before, as I'm only familiar with slurs used in hip-hop music. And I learned about it thanks to a liberal.
Apparently, not only do liberals think I'm racist, but they're going out of their way to make me an even more effective racist. Thanks, liberals!

Zo is bringin' it!
Great rant! Why did it have to stop?
LibraryLady - October 23rd, 2009 at 10:22 am
Thank you, Mr. Rachel for that editorial. I appreciate your candor and your willingness to speak out on this topic. Good job.
T-Rav - October 23rd, 2009 at 10:35 am
I have never cared for Juan Williams (probably the NPR affiliation) but no one deserves to be called those things. At least he says what he believes regardless of party loyalty. We need more liberals of Mr. Williams' stripe.
Though Juan Williams political points of view differ from my own. I find him an intellectually honest gentlemen and a decent guy. That's more than I can say for the Bum that slurred him. Who deserves a well placed crack on the jaw. Great monologue Brother Rachel and so True. Thanks.
I find it hard to resist a line from a Kevin Smith movie, but I will. It has always sadden me how a better man than me gets treated, Justice Thomas should be celebrated for his accomplishments, inspite of him being a lawyer, a good generous man, which is proven by the fact he does not flaunt it. It could be set aside as a fluke, but I see this scenario repeated too many times. Who would you want your daughter to bring home Justice Thomas or Ludicris, both successful but one was lied about being a dog while the other is famous for it.
Juan Williams is a very capable substitute host on O'Reilly's show, and I do respect his honesty and intellect. I wanted to sock that a**hole who told him to "go back on the porch." It beats being stuck on the liberal plantation…
According to a liberal, I like the "Uncle Toms" like Sowell, Williams, and Elder. I like them not because they're black but because they stellar intellectuals. Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams may be the most gifted economists this world has seen in a while.
Having Juan Williams sitting in for Bill O'Reilly , one of the highest rated shows on cable, is just like having ????? sit in for ????? on all the other channels.
Come to think of it, Fox is probably doing more for diversity than any channel. Making Juan the face of O'Reilly must make him alot of friends in the rightwing redneck community. Can't say that MSNBC is doing the same with Rachel Maddow. Is anybody whiter than Chris Mathews, a blond haired Bohemian Grover ?
Larry - October 23rd, 2009 at 11:24 am
I'm Southern, and I did know that "porch monkey" is a racial slur. What is ironic though is I have never heard it said by a white person to a black person. It was always a black person (who was keeping it real doncha know) saying it about another black person who was trying "to be all white."
It's pitiful.

You think this is bad. Democrat Tavis Smiley was nearly crucified by many Black voters by simply saying the following:
"Don't fall so madly in love [with Obama] that you surrender your power to hold people accountable. . . . I'm not saying overlook Senator Obama, but you now better be ready to look him over."
This quote shouldn't be an issue. However, the Democrat Party and its allies (Sharpton, Jackson, NAACP, etc.) have over the decades created a climate in which Black people questioning liberal policies are branded race traitors or worse. A side effect of this is how the worst elements of Black communities (e.g., gangsta rappers) don't face the challenges they deserve.

GlumPanda - October 23rd, 2009 at 11:57 am
I was watching this when it happened and my jaw literally dropped when I heard it. I couldn't let it go for the next hour, repeatedly asking my roommate if he heard the same thing. I'm glad we weren't the only people to take notice of it and I am glad someone as with as large an audience as Alfonso Rachel is making others aware of the hypocrisy and racism that commentator represents.
bic - October 23rd, 2009 at 12:04 pm
WAY cool.
The left is always guilty of what they accuse others, can't even think of an exception.
They are the victimizers, not the victims. Their notion of being the bearers of "social justice" is a fraud.

Awesome! You got to love when a leftist bigot is called out for using a racist term while crying wolf about another being racist! Typical.

Thank you, Zo. And your commercial with the cat is hilarious!
At the time he released the "Magic N" song he was defending Obama against Al Sharpton and the Race Hustlers who were calling him too "Caucasion" in his outlook because he did not come from the Street.
It amazes me the level of ignorance one has to have to be a democrat!

Thank you, Mr. Rachel.
ZO FOR CONGRESS 2010.

This endorsement brought to you by Taqiyy., just another supposed racist.

Dwall - October 23rd, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Al, you need to get on Television!!! How about some Red Eye or Hannity. You need some more national exposure. Awesome job. We are posting that like crazy on Facebook….
I'm Southern also, and an ex lawman. You're spot on. If you want to see racism at it's very worst, look at black on black crime. Zo said it just right. (Hey Fox, HIRE HIM!)
Blacks lost the war of equality by fighting the wrong enemy. Again, they've been delivered into slavery by the opportunist among them.
The true heroes were named by Zo, the same ones that are reviled and called names by those following the wrong leaders.
PSSSTT ! Fox News— You want to drive the libs even slobber-jawed crazier? Put Zo on prime time instead of a commercial. Just slip in one of his rants once in a while with no explanation. Let them figure it out.
I would buy a TV and cable service to see that!
A.Men - October 24th, 2009 at 2:20 am
It was interesting to see Juan's outrage when he was told to get on the porch. He's been carrying the water for Obama. He's "been a liberal". He's a Brother. He's been certified Black. Ha, Ha, Juan.
Radical Right - October 24th, 2009 at 5:13 am
I love listening to Zo. He can spout more common sense in 2 minutes than most can in an hour.
I never knew that "porch monkey" was racial. I have only heard it used to describe white people who keep washing machines on their porch-yes some peopole do that!
Farqle - October 24th, 2009 at 7:17 am
He was doing good until he dropped a conspiracy theory into the middle of his commentary. At that point, he just became another poser and apologist.
erin - October 24th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Liberals are supposedly "accepting" of everyone and their differences…except when it comes to anyone that disagrees with their way of thinking.
I have never disliked Juan, I think he usually gives a good debate, but my jaw DROPPED when I heard what that poor excuse for a human being said to him. What a sad shame that people like him may never wake up and see the light.
Zo, you always hit the nail on the head and I only wish more people could have your common sense.
Keep up the GREAT videos and HONEST commentary. God Bless you!
The democrats are the party of change all right.Change this ,change that,,depending on what group they are talking to.So hurtful to the black community(all really) dems are encouraging the gulf in race relations.It is pitiful and discouraging to see dems liberals tear people down to raise up and agenda that kills races of our society.Dems have been successful in changing the message and calling conservatives "haters" but am sure that dems know the real truth and don't care.How could they?They have such a lowly view of human life.To them it is "the greater good" we run when we hear this phrase!!Thanks Zo you shoot from the hip and we need to do this and stop compromising our principles that is what got us on this road in the first place!!!
guest - October 26th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
you go ZO!! on the money! I'm a "minority" in this society as well.. [latino], and have felt marginalized for so many years by the "mainstream" voices who work so hard to keep us quiet, bitter and in lockstep with their victimization worldview.
For years i've argued about the misinformation and double standard in race politrix, and for years have felt frustration due to the lack of representation for our point of view. You are breath of fresh air, keep on bringin it!!. I for one send out your "vlog" to my circle of friends, in hopes of shedding some light [truth] in the darkness [ignorance].
I love this country, [albeit imperfect- as is every human government]. I have seen first hand the opportunities it has afforded my family and I do not take it for granted one bit, I am a grateful citizen, a family man, a business owner and a child of God.
its about time, we start extolling the virtues of what made and makes this country great and begin to call out those who keep us from realizing our full potential.

Spot on, Al. Good show.
