Holy Shit - Glen Beck on Black Lives Matter

So it may come as a surprise that Beck is now pleading with conservatives to come to grips with the Black Lives Matter movement. What's more, he actually criticized the “All Lives Matter" chant. Dave Weigel reported for the Washington Post:

“All of us are sitting around a table, and we're all friends," he said. “It's time for dessert, and everybody gets pie except for me and you. And you say, 'I didn't get any pie.' Everybody at the table looks at you and says 'I know. All pie matters.' You say, 'But I don't have any pie! What about my pie?'"

Beck's point was that white Americans simply did not understand what black people had been saying about police in America.

The “leaders" of the movement, he said, were “communists and anti-capitalists" whom he could never agree with. “But they're not the people walking behind them in the street," he said. “We're all speaking different languages and we need to talk to each other."

Oh, Glenn, I wish.

I sometimes listen to Beck in the morning because he's on while I'm driving to work. He's way more progressive than his reputation; though I think that's because he's changed a lot since a while back. Of course he's still a good bit more conservative than pretty much anyone here, and on some issues he still sounds like a right-winger, but as a whole, his stances and messages are actually pretty good.

Like? It seems like he's getting a lot of undeserved goodwill from progressives because he's opposing Trump.

Beck is one of those shitbags that thinks political correctness (ie not saying racist things) is a tool to silence poor, oppressed white people. Fuck him
