Glenn Beck has few black friends because he might say something "wrong" & would be a "nightmare"

[Bluebear]

BECK: You know, Shelby, I don`t know if anybody else in the audience -- oh, this is just going to be a blog nightmare over the next few days. But let me just be honest and play my cards face up on the table.

I was thinking about this just last week. I don`t have a lot of African-American friends, and I think part of it is because I`m afraid that I would be in an open conversation, and I would say something that somebody would take wrong, and then it would be a nightmare. Am I alone in feeling that?

TRANSLATOR, please...oh, TRANSLATOR????



Thank you...

"I can't have black friends because, you see, as a racist, I am in mortal fear that I would say the wrong thing, like letting a nasty pejorative slip by accident. It would be a nightmare because I could only accuse them of being too sensitive and PC for so long."

1. What a total ass

Does Beck think he would be talking to aliens?

[Bucky]

8. No, but his friends would be

[Seen the light]

2. He's a racist piece of shit

I sometimes think that he is worse than Rush.

[benddem]

3. he is

he's stupider and more racist. Limpballs is a little more subtle.

[POAS]

16. subtleness does not equate to

less racist. Rush is just more adept at racist slight of hand in the language he chooses. It doesn't make him less racist!

[illinoisprogressive]

4. Beck is so desparate to be the next Hannity or Limpbaugh

[goclark]

5. He is RIGHT , he would say something WRONG

He says wrong stuff everyday.

6. Oh, snap, BB, that is the best Beck's idiocy deconstruction ever. K & R, LOL.

:yourock:

and edited to add :rofl: MKJ

7. That's ok Glenn, I doubt you'll have many candidates

beating down your door wanting to be your 'friend' (except maybe self-loathing, self-hating black people).

(Stephen Colbert, well, that's another story :D )

[Justitia]

9. WTF is up w/CNN that they keep this Klan member??? I mean, I know they suck, but come on! -nt

[Bucky]

10. Oh those lucky African-Americans

They don't run the risk of having to be friends with Glenn Beck. I think that almost makes up for the whole slavery thing.

By the way, the real translation here in Beckspeak is that blacks are so irritable and angry all the time that the slightest phrase can set them off. Cause you know how touchy "those people" can be.

[Karenina]

19. Especially if he pays them a compliment like:

WOW! You're just so ARTICULATE!!!

[Bluebear]

20. And CLEAN! Don't forget CLEAN! nt

[smoogatz]

26. Bingo.

Well translated.

[nonconformist]

11. So basically, he is saying that he can't have a normal conversation with someone

without breaking into a racist diatribe... or at the very least, dropping the N bomb.

Classy guy.

[walldude]

12. Good Morning America!

Yes Glen, it's a blog nightmare. Almost as good as the one when you asked a fucking U.S. congressman to prove he's not "the enemy". The only way someone could "take it wrong" is if you say it wrong. Ask Joe Biden.

[Rex]

13. Glenn is crazy and that is about what the M$M likes in the 'news

entertainment business'. Keep it away from the truth at all costs.

[SoCalDem]

14. Too bad.. I'm sure there's a line around the block of black people who want to be his friend.

:eyes: sheez what an idiot..

[SalmonChantedEvening]

17. "I'm too stoopid to think before I speak"

We know Glenn, we know.

Oh and PS - Yes... you are very, VERY alone.

[Ganja Ninja]

18. Perhaps if you weren't a such monumental asshole ....

Glen you might have more friends of every persuasion. But then again that's what makes you qualified to be a conservative talk show host.

[zbdent]

21. He's afraid that he'll get caught speaking his mind

and saying exactly how he feels and expressing his ignorance, and his friends suddenly become former friends ...

[sniffa]

22. i somehow doubt it's his choice to not have friends

[LeftishBrit]

23. Does he have any friends of any sort?

[smoogatz]

24. If by "friends" you mean people who are willing to hang out with him

without getting paid, the answer would be no.

[sendero]

25. If you are not a racist in your heart..

.... you don't have to worry about what you say.

[The Backlash Cometh]

27. Well, I don't talk to the white folk in my community for the same reason.

X'cept that they wouldn't be taking it wrong...

[TZ]

28. does he have ANY friends?

Who here chooses friends on whether or not they might accidently "offend" someone by saying something? Too dumb to even understand the concept of what friendship really means. I bet his friends are all brown nosers and lickspittles not friends as most people understand the term. Geez:crazy: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:

[TroglodyteScholar]

29. I'm guessing there's another reason he doesn't have black friends...

...like, perhaps black folks don't care for him.
