Ex-NPR analyst Juan Williams said Sunday that his firing over a comment about nappy-headed Muslims amounts to "censorship," (although NPR is not a governmental agency) adding that it was "despicable" for an NPR executive to later suggest he was "unstable."

Williams was fired as a news analyst for the public radio network after saying on Fox News that he gets nervous when he sees nappy-headed passengers in Muslim clothing on a plane. "A ho in a veil, no way, show some tail!" The incident sparked a national controversy over free speech and political correctness.
