Glenn Beck : Lack Of Black Friends Due To Fear Of "Saying Something That Somebody Would Take Wrong And Then It Would Be A Nightmare"

UPDATE : Think Progress has the video.

Tonight, Glenn Beck revealed a rather important facet of his life.

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?
Let me translate. Glenn Beck just said that he doesnt have many black friends because he is scared of saying something racist that would create a "nightmare". (But it would be the black person's fault, he would "take it wrong" of course.)

In other words, Beck is so scared that his racism will reveal itself, and that something bad will happen as a result, that he makes a point of not having many black friends. Beck is apparently so racist, that he cant even have black friends for fear of saying something racist around them.

Amazing. Oh, and one extra point, Beck says "this will be a blog nightmare". Well Mr. Beck.. welcome to your nightmare.
