What does being a racist mean? If I alter my behavior such as making certain my car doors are locked when I'm parked in poor predominately black neighborhoods make me a racist? What if the only place my car has been robbed was in a black neighborhood?

What if I were walking in the same neighborhood and I saw a pick up game of basket ball and there were 5 black guys about to play 5 white guys? And what if somebody offered to wager? If I bet on the black guys knowing nothing about them other than their skin color, would that make me a racist too?

Glenn Beck is suffering from a very serious case of white guilt.
He is a racist, and to deal with the guilt he has to do a show about "black America"
His nervous laughter and snickers throughout that show are a dead give away.
Too bad the people involved didn't "get it".
Beck, you really are a pathetic piece of #!

Nothing wrong with a hand picked panel? Like GWB did at most of his Q7As? Well, let's continue:
Fritsch: The only way black people were ever able to triumph is because of conservative values, which is directly linked to Christianity. Had we been liberals, during the Civil Rights movement, nobody would have done anything!
Um, Ms. Fritsch, you need to avail yourself some history books too. It was conservatives who argued for maintaining slavery before the Civil War. It was conservatives who insisted after the war that blacks be denied the full rights of citizenship, and who erected the system of Jim Crow, who led rope-bearing lynch mobs that crucified thousands of black people. It was conservatives who erected "No Black After Sundown" signs at the city borders of thousands of American towns.
And most of all, it was conservatives who fought the Civil Rights movement tooth and nail. And it was only from the ceaseless efforts of liberals -- many of them indeed Christian liberals -- in opposition to conservatives, many of them Christian conservatives -- that anything was in fact achieved during that era. Somehow, you've managed to get your history completely upside down.

As I keep asking people who say this, and will not respond; does a crowd selected that is either conservative or moderates somehow invalidate these people's comments or life experiences?
Because the way you make it sound, a majority opinion is always right or most appropriate. Obviously that is not true.
