It is a major qualification any radio host must have to be on the Rush Limbaugh show. However, I can safely say that Walther E. Williams is the dumbest host Rush ever had on, and there’s a lot to choose from. Sitting at the golden microphone today for the vacationing Rush Limbaugh, Walter E Williams went way out on the branch of insanity, calling for open discrimination in these 2010 America.
Walter E Williams
I’ll start out by saying that Walter E Williams is a black man.
He starts out the show saying that he agrees with Rand Paul and began trying to express Rand’s perspective when Rachel Maddow interviewed him. Walter E. Williams stated that he understands where Rand was coming from when he stated that he thinks private business owners should be allowed to discriminate if they so chooses.
But what makes this fool’s argument so unbelievably stupid, was when he try to make the connection between his choice for marriage and discrimination. Mr. Williams stated that when he choose his wife, he was discriminating against women of other races. He claims he discriminated against white women and against Asian women when he married his wife, who is assumed to be black. He even later on in the show tried to equate discrimination to choosing to eat Ice Crème instead of Candy, claiming that the candy was discriminated against for the Ice Crème.
What this particular Idiot fails to realize is that his personal choice of women is just that – a personal choice. The women he did not marry was not subjected to slavery or killed because they were white or Asian. And neither was the candy that wasn’t eaten instead of the ice crème. This nutjob fails to see the obvious, that discrimination in today’s society is based on one thing, racism. The idea that one group of people is better than the other simply because of the color of one’s skin and not the content of one’s character.
People like Walter E. Williams spit on the works of Dr. Martin Luther King, who lived, fought and died for equal rights. He spit in the face of Rosa Parks, who because of the same discrimination that he is now in favor of, refused to give up her seat on a bus and move to the back. Walter E Williams fail to realize that if it wasn’t because of people like Emmett Till, who was brutally killed at the age of 14 for whistling at a white woman, he wouldn’t be able to be in a position to go on radio and say he discriminate against white and Asian women when he married his wife.
This fool owes his comfortable life to the efforts of all those who lived and died fighting for his ability to go on radio and proclaim the nonsense he stated on radio today, but instead of realizing this fact and counting his blessings, he’s calling for businesses to discriminate against someone because they’re a minority.
Mr. Williams, calling you a fool is giving fools a bad name!

Ahhh, if it aint my favorite conservative critic. Where were you. I’ve missed your comments on some other previous posts. They long for your ill-informed critique.
Anyway, one statement regarding your last comment. There is a process called registering your business. Who do you think you register it with and what’s the purpose of the registration?
And if your business is not working along the standards set by the government, what happens to it?
Well, it was a little more than one statement.
Hmmmm…. “authorized by the state”. That argument may have worked in the Soviet Union. Governments derive their powers from the consent of the governed. The government has no authority to stick it’s nose into the affairs of others. You are wrong. You can talk around it all you want. Write all you want about other things. On this, you are wrong. Why not just concentrate on Bill O’Reily or Sarah Palin sound bites. Or make fun of a person you find at a Tea Party protest, who maybe is a little crazy, but is probably a victim of Obamanomics . That seems to work for you guys. Calling people racists that are not racists is immoral and wrong. Well, I guess making fun of that Tea Party guy could be construed as wrong too. Oh well. That is all.
@ concerned about hypocrisy of liberals.
See, now there you go again with comparisons that have nothing to do with the topic. Someone knocking at your door asking for food cannot be compared to a business discriminating against someone because of their race.
Let me break it down to you like this. A business is authorized by the state to provide either goods or services to you for a fee or chickens according to some other republican way of thinking.
Being that you’re authorized to operate as a business to provide that good or service and your main objective as a business person is to make a profit, how can you then compare that to someone refusing to offer food in their own home to a stranger?
And how can you tell me that a business owner, whose primary objective is to make a profit will turn away business simply because that person is a minority.
Any so-called business person who’s willing to turn away business because of race is not a business person, they’re a racist. A racist who’s willing to go broke by turning away selected patronage, instead of doing what they were authorized by the state to do, provide goods and or services to everyone who’s willing to pay for that goods or service.
Get it?
The difference is one, hanging aborted fetii in front of a public school, is publicly infringing on the rights of others. What Rand Paul and Walter Williams are talking about is that you have the right to associate with whoever you want in your privately owned business. You can’t take away one right to guarantee another.
Now come on. You know discrimination still happens. If a central authority mandates that someone does something in their place of business because, you personally find it offensive, it really does not solve the problem. You only take away someone else’s freedom to associate with who they want to, on their private property. What if I am hungry and I knock on someone’s door for food. If they don’t serve me because of the color of my skin is that a violation of the law? I may think that is wrong. You may think that is wrong. But it is that person’s right to tell me he will not give me what he has worked for and earned. The fact of the matter is that the good part about the Civil Rights Act is that they eliminated the Jim Crowe Laws, which were wrong. I believe in an enlightened society business owners would not discriminate against people because of the color of their skin, sexual orientation etc.. But if you start taking away people’s liberties you start down a slippery slope. A lot of your freedoms have been chipped away over the last 50 years and you don’t even seem to care. You just harp on what is feed to you as what you should think is wrong. Maybe I should be concerned more about your ignorance rather than your hypocrisy.. Anyhow, you shouldn’t be criticizing Walter Williams. He’s fighting for your freedoms.
@concerned about hypocrisy of liberals.
You’ve either missed the point of the article or you’re just confused. Because you seem to think someone’s right to assemble and or protest anything is the same as encouraging discrimination based solely on race.
How can you even draw that comparison?
Anyone can apply for a permit, marched and protest whatever they choose. Then they go home and the day’s events are over. Now compare that to telling someone that they can’t eat at a particular establishment, or they can’t apply for a job there, or they can’t get a room at a hotel simply because you’re the owner and you don’t serve blacks, Latinos or women for that matter.
Now tell me that your comparison makes any sense.
The preaching of discrimination against any person based on race, sex or disabilities is wrong. Americans have fought and died so that everyone can be free to “apply for a permit and march” or eat, sleep and assemble regardless of their racial background, physical disabilities or sex.
I’m concerned about your hypocrisy if this is truly how you feel.
Nobody is “preaching” freedom of one group over the freedom of another’s. You guys are wrong on this and you know it. When I was a very young person a Nazi group applied for a permit to march in protest to a Holocaust memorial that was constructed in my hometown. I personally think that is offensive, but they marched and it was the right thing to let them do it. If you folks keep on calling people racists, that are not racist, just because they are sticking up for something based on principal and what is right, it will backfire. That goes for the Tea Parties, this episode and down the line. Slander only makes the other side more dedicated. Especially, if they are right. Why don’t you guys talk more about things really affecting everyone in America today? Everyone knows that Social Security and Medicare are broke. How do we deal with that? What about these two wars we are in? That seems to be something that should be discussed. Are these people really a threat to us? Do these things have to do with the fact that we have a $13,000,000,000,000 deficit? This site seems to be dedicated to a circle of pseudo-liberals that have been brainwashed by the popular media and need to re-affirm themselves. That is a dangerous sign.
Especially when you consider that businesses receive tax breaks that are funded by *all* taxpayers. Should businesses, licensed by the state, be permitted to write off capital purchases under “depreciation,” or “investment,” for which we all pay, and then refuse to grant us equal treatment under the law? Absolutely NOT!
SMH. What keeps me from exercising my Constitutionally-guaranteed freedom of speech by putting pictures of aborted fetii in front of a kindergarten? The balancing test that courts have historically used to decided when the state has an interest in curtailing a freedom because it has detrimental effects on others whom the state has an overriding interest in protecting. Thus, the state may prevent my exercise in fetal photography because it is in the state’s interest to protect children from disturbing sights. The state may interfere to keep one group of people from subjecting another to unequal treatment in the interest of preserving the peace and not condoning crimes of violence. Do you understand?
In the effort to give business owners the “freedom” to discriminate if they so choose, you, Rand Paul and Walter E Williams seems comfortable in the fact that an entire nation of minorities, be it Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Indians or even women — whomever this owner decides to discriminate against — looses their freedom to buy what that business has to offer.
How can you preach freedom for an individual business owner over the freedom of an entire group of people?
Wow. Trying to express a counter point to the propaganda you have been fed from the MSM, the Huff Post etc.., must be like trying to talk to a brick wall. Walter Williams, is one of the greatest thinkers this country has. What guts to stand up for FREEDOM in the face of lies, designed to keep the elitist two party system in power. What Rand Paul was talking about is, that you cannot take away one freedom to guarantee another. It goes against everything America was founded on. What ever your rational, it is a slippery slope. Nobody is saying the repealing of the Jim Crowe laws was wrong, and the Civil Rights act in general was merited, but whether it’s freedom of speech or the freedom to serve who you want in your place of business, you cannot take away that basic right, no matter how wrong the person is.
“The true test of ones commitment to freedom of association, is when you allow people to associate in ways you find offensive.” -Walter E Williams
