According to our estimates, Joe Williams didn’t say or do anything to justify getting the axe at Politico. But when you’re a black reporter in a predominantly white industry, nearly anything can cause you to get the axe:
A little over a week after being suspended from Politico for comments he made about Mitt Romney’s comfort among the white ‘Fox & Friends” panel, Joe Williams
and Politico have officially parted ways.
During a conversation with MSNBC’s Martin Bashir about Mitt Romney’s inability to connect with minority voters, Williams said:

Politico is a conservative site and if you say anything about Republicans’ or Conservative’s, yes you are out.
Republicans’ can make racial comment about President Obama or Democratics’, and its not consider Racial.

Another Black man ‘shot down’ because he spoke the Truth.
Black people must OVERstand that they will NEVER be accepted in the white boy’s media. You can’t talk too aggressive, look too militant (no mustache), but you must ALWAYS smile, skin and grin when around them.
THE BLACKMAN IS A THREAT TO THE WEAK WHITE BOY!

I disagree with you, all black mens has to do is be themselves, educated,and professional as the next man, no matter whats his Skin Color.
Have you ever heard the saying, “Knowledge is power”, this what make Black Mens sronger and White mens weak.
MLK and President Obama are two educated black mens that the white’s in Washington and across USA doesn’t like.
They Hate President Obama because he has done thing that no other President could do or were able to complete in 40 years. Healthcare being one.
White’s have alway hated a educated Black Man, even more now that there is one in the WHITE HOUSE.
