Watkins referred to Juan Williams as "Bill O'Reilly's happy little Negro", in reference to Williams' insistence that O'Reilly did nothing wrong.
Watkins is hardly a dispassionate observer to the dispute; he almost called Williams the "N" word himself. Watkins is also the whiner who pines that he lost out on tenure because of O'Reilly. Although he has a PhD in Finance, consider his scholarly output, which is lacking.
His first work was a popular best seller: "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about College – A Guide for Minority Students."
His second book: "What if George Bush were a Black Man?" is possibly a scholarly work but certainly it is not unusual for a tenure committee to deny him the privilege if it is not up to snuff. This book was a satirical discussion of President Bush and the presence of White privilege in America. Watkins explores the criminal justice system, the educational system, and the economic systems of America, using statistics and anecdotes to inductively describe likely fates for President Bush and other privileged individuals if they were poor and Black.
His next books are not scholarly at all: "Financial Lovemaking 101: Merging Assets with Your Partner in Ways that Feel Good", "The Parental 411: What Every Parent should Know about Their Child in College", and "Quick and Dirty Secrets of College Success: A Professor Tells it all".
In scholarly journals he published only 9 articles which is hardly worthwhile to earn tenure.
It is not hard at all to believe he did not attain tenure.
