Dimwit letter to Hou Chronicle: Offensive It seemed pretty clear to me that what Juan Williams said on Bill O'Reilly's show was offensive. All you have to do is replace the words Muslim with black person and see how it sounds. And frankly, I don't care how he feels. We do way too much sharing of feelings as if that somehow justifies us. I may feel a little nervous when I see a young black male in my neighborhood, but I consciously act in a friendly way toward him, regardless of my feelings that have been conditioned by the culture I live in. [ Get that. The guy condemns Williams, suggests how bad it would sound to say that about blacks and THEN proceeds to say something exactly like Williams did himself. ] The point being that my feelings are not important. What is important is how I act or refuse to act on them. It sounded to me like Bill O'Reilly and Juan Williams were trying to justify bigoted behavior because of their feelings. That just does not fly. — ALAN JACKSON, Houston chron.com
