Glenn Beck: Term 'Colored' Is 'Not A Bad Thing,' 'African American' Is 'Ridiculously Stupid' (AUDIO)

Glenn Beck blasted the use of the term "African American" in favor of "black" and "colored" on his radio show on Tuesday.

The radio host was reflecting on his Restoring Courage rally in Jerusaleum, where he said the term African American did not apply. He asked his co-host Pat Gray, "Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you feel ridiculously stupid everywhere in Africa, in Europe, in South America, in Jerusaleum when you would say the words African American?"

Beck asked, "Now how can people be one thing in one country and nowhere else in the world?" (Perhaps because the term "African American" only applies to people from the United States?)

Dunno. He's such an odd duck.

people like jesse jackson and maxine waters are (colored people ) they need white mans money to survive - PEOPLE LIKE CAIN AND ALAN KEYES AND J.C. WATTS ARE BLACK - THEY DO NOT USE THEIR COLOR AS A CRUTCH !

When ever I see your posts, this always cracks me up:

Remember folks - When Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats took control in January 2007, the federal deficit was $161 billion and unemployment was 4.6%. Now it is 1.6 TRILLION and 9.6%.

Obama's one great achievement was to reawaken America's silent majority of conservatives to become activists. Thanks Obama!! You created the Tea Party!!

Somehow, you left out the cost of two wars, the drugs for votes bill and the 2.4 trillion in tax cuts which went mostly to the wealthy. All this was handed to Obama and the Democrats, but it's their fault. Hilarious. Do you really believe that or is it for the benefit of others more ignorant?

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh!

Nope, it's"

Obaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaama!

Deal with it bean, your boy is now officially the worst President in US history. It's not even up for debate any longer. The man is completely inept......His legacy is, "The Downgraded President"

When history books are written 100 years from now, the main points of his Presidency will be his failure to lead, his economic ineptness, his inability to reach across the aisle and get things done, 10% unemployment, and DOWNGRADED for the first and only time in US history.

BOY? These right wingers. Liars and racist scumbags with no sense of responsibility. If they are the party of God, their God must be Satan. What else could it be?

Alinski would be proud of ya. You - the racist lying scumbag calling others liars, racists and scumbags. Priceless.

I had a teacher in middle school who was rather bothered being called an African American. Her family was from Haiti, not Africa, and she was an American not an African, a Haitian, or anything else. If it was necessary to state her race, she preferred simply 'Black', just as some people are White when absolutely necessary to note the distinction for some reason.

Of course people have every right to call themselves whatever they wish, but Black Hatians are also African Americans.

Their forefathers were slaves brought from Africa to Haiti as slaves.

Again, using that reasoning, everybody ultimately comes from Africa.

And there's no such thing as an African American. There is no such nation as African America, so you cannot be an African American national or citizen. There's also no such thing as an African-American, as there's no country named Africa, so you can't have dual African-American citizenship.

You could be a Black American (an American who is Black) or a Negroid American (to use more scientific language) or a Caucasoid American or whatever- the common or scientific term for one's race being an adjective describing the individual American in question, but that's really just describing a fat American, a skinny American, or any adjective American.

they are called african americans because it is impossible to find out which tribe they came from - it would b like calling a white person ( a european american ) - that would be silly - we would ask - which country did your parents come from - italian american or russian american - etc. etc. - so we pidgen -hole all blacks and call them (african americans ) - BY THE WAY - EVERY RACE OF PEOPLE WERE SLAVES OF OTHER RACES - BEFORE WE WERE RACES - WE WERE TRIBES - EVERY TRIBE WAS THE SLAVE OF OTHER TRIBES - blacks were not the only people to be made slaves - sicialians for example were slaves of just about every country on this planet !

No. The "every tribe was the slave of other tribes" isn't even logically possible. Somebody would have to be at the top of the heap.

Also, it matters because WE did the enslaving. That's on us. The rest of it doesn't matter.

First I would like to say Beck is mostly an asshole. To much power is given to words thees days. Merely calling a certain person a certain word will get a certain reaction, from the person its directed at. This reaction gives the person who said the word a great deal of power over another person. The best policy is to be careful who's words you give power to.
