The Pitters' Place

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."
