I watched the special. I was heartned by the fact that these Americans felt that political correctness has gone rampant in this country.I feel as though we are beginning to see the people of America cominging together,out of pure reason and not political or racial bias.
It is high time for all of us to just be honest in our thoughts and actions.

In my eye i see this as a white guy calling and black man the n word then later sayin no no im not racist i have three black friends when are you going to understand that its deeper lying than that.
it's like me and my girlfriend she loves cats but i despise them we have two and i have to live with them feed them and clean their litter box when she is not around but that doesn't change the fact that i don't like cats.
i dont agree with people yelling racist at others just because they dont agree with obama's . that in it self is racist. it like oh he is black so dont threat him bad he was a slave.
i cant wait for my generation to run the show wonder what that'll be like
just so you know i do pet the cats when they come around and i pass the paperbag test

Actually it's because he uses so many "dog whistles." It could just be that he doesn't know what he's saying and thus, "false alarm" - entirely possible, these terms and sneaky meanings have been hammered into conservative rhetoric for so long now, I would wonder if the young 'uns like beck are even aware of what they're saying. Yay for indoctrination.

im not saying hes racist until hes proven non-racist.
im saying talking to black people on a show in no way will prove he isnt. which proving he isnt is what im assuming the point of your thread is.

Hello?
If they are born in America.. then they are native Americans. Why use the word "African" like there is some other kind of American? Seriously!
Did Glenn Beck do a video on Americans or on immigrants? *ahem*
I don't want to hear any SF-181 B.S. cause there is only ONE NATION where people are born at that has that form and that is the U.S. of America!

I think his point was, that trying to prove that you are not a racist is pointless and silly.
When someone goes out of their way to prove they are not racist it doesn't prove that they are not racist. It just proves that they are trying to prove that they are not a racist.
(I'm not claiming that Beck is a racist btw. I'm just saying that this debate is a bit silly)

I echo your sentiments entirely, Johnny, and I am as disappointed as you and many others. However, I am trying to look at the hidden meaning behind this recent segment you have presented by Glenn Beck, and that is all. Now, if it was an honest attempt by Glenn Beck to showcase in an objective sense the misfortunes of those he invited on his show, then great and I applaud him for it, but I am on the fence about his candor. There is something about the man that makes my skin crawl.
Now, were these people hand picked by FOX News to walk their line of business in news or were they invited anonymously? These are questions we all should be having about this show. Plus, did Glenn Beck have a secret agenda with this show, and an agenda, that meets his aims as well as his masters, and not the aims of his guests? Although, he would make us all believe that it was their opportunity to voice their concerns, but staged in a way to walk the Conservative agenda. Your contribution was very good, but I have some questions about the substance of it. Oh yes, and again, I am as disappointed as you are about our politicians and their circumvention of the Constitution! Keep up the good work, friend, and thanks for the response.
