Video: Glenn Beck devotes entire show to black conservatives
posted at 9:03 pm on November 13, 2009 by Allahpundit
A brilliant idea, although I hope the participants know that they’re now fair game for “progressive” blackface photoshops mocking them as traitors to their race. The Clinton coalition is fracturing, thanks to The One’s statism on steroids; every white surbanbite vote that’s lost will have to be made up with a minority vote, which means the volume on the demagoguery will have to be turned up that much higher. You’re a brave man, Charles Payne.
You can watch the entire episode at Fox News. Enjoy.

I thought it was great.

Beck is a racists for being a white man! /s
MeatHeadinCA on November 13, 2009 at 9:06 PM
I was convinced I was a redneck dumbass racist, yet this beck show was, by far, the single best hour he has ever had. It was fascinating – A plus
Ris4victory on November 13, 2009 at 9:08 PM
We enjoy watching Charles Payne every week, and listening to him on the radio on weekends while driving.
Beck’s idea for this show was excellent. It will take some time, but the voices of conservative blacks will be heard.
GaltBlvnAtty on November 13, 2009 at 9:09 PM
I watched the whole show–I teared up, I cheered, I shouted — GREAT show and it needs to be done again and again! “I have a dream”!
rebuzz on November 13, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Great show Glen.Charles Payne you are a credit to your family and a role model. Thank you.
Sandybourne on November 13, 2009 at 9:11 PM
Awesome.
I hope Beck does this with gays and lesbians, too. It’s important to get out.
lansing quaker on November 13, 2009 at 9:11 PM
It was pretty good.
Alana on November 13, 2009 at 9:11 PM
I loved the point that the lady made about the Left giving out subsidies for heating the homes of the poor but would snatch the vouchers from the children making it harder to get a better education and life.
Cindy Munford on November 13, 2009 at 9:12 PM
This was a really good show. I caught about half and submit that there were some courageous folks there today. Outspoken, courageous and conservative. They appeared to adamantly indicate that they suffer all kinds of discrimination for being conservative.
Glenn Beck did the country a great service by doing this show today. My hat’s off to him and those courageous folks.

ted c on November 13, 2009 at 9:12 PM
Great find Allah!
Wow, this stuff is amazing! Props to Beck on this one. And yes, the left is going to smear the hell out of these people…but they know it…they live it, just like all of us do.
AUINSC on November 13, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Good point, no “group” wants to be pegged with a stereotyped monolithic view.
Cindy Munford on November 13, 2009 at 9:14 PM
strength and honor and rational thought, awesome.
rob verdi on November 13, 2009 at 9:15 PM
I hope Beck does this with gays and lesbians, too. It’s important to get out.
And don’t forget ugly women too!
honsy on November 13, 2009 at 9:15 PM
I think we all owe a big thank you to all the people who participated. I hope nothing nefarious befalls on any of you, although I fear, well I won’t finish the thought knowing how New Black Panther-types act without inspiration.
I pray your strength to speak real truth to power will be a shining example for many others to finally come out of the closet and admit they agree with Conservative principles.
smfic on November 13, 2009 at 9:18 PM
I just viewed a clip of educated, well informed, articulate citizens of the United States of America making a point that hit home…
… but that is because I am color blind.
To Jessie Jackson, Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder and Obama, these individuals will need to be liquidated.

Seven Percent Solution on November 13, 2009 at 9:18 PM
Will this show repeat over the weekend? If so, please be sure to watch it – it was fabulous!! We need to hear more from these people…. their ideas, concerns, solutions, etc., on a wide variety of topics – this was just scratching the surface.
NotPC on November 13, 2009 at 9:19 PM
Sorry, we are busy.
Cindy Munford on November 13, 2009 at 9:20 PM
Glenn Beck, you are my hero. Seriously. Please keep up the great work – loved the blurb in the Freedom Center mailing.
Good night Mrs. D., Ms. J., et al, wherever you are.
bbh on November 13, 2009 at 9:20 PM
Wow.
Spirit of 1776 on November 13, 2009 at 9:20 PM
Now this is HOPE! Thank you Glenn and every panelist. It’s time to be heard, and to free all Americans from liberalism.
Christian Conservative on November 13, 2009 at 9:21 PM
He really needs to do it with hispanics, too. Show every segment possible.
MadisonConservative on November 13, 2009 at 9:22 PM
I’ve always like Charles Payne and think he would make a great Congressman.
Run Charles Run!
huckleberryfriend on November 13, 2009 at 9:23 PM
Sorry, we are busy.
Cindy Munford
You were not even considered for this group!
honsy on November 13, 2009 at 9:24 PM
But to make them traitors to their race shouldnt it be White face?
Greed on November 13, 2009 at 9:25 PM
There are a lot of black and Hispanic social conservatives, which is why Republicans should run both as fiscal conservatives and social conservatives.
Gabe on November 13, 2009 at 9:26 PM
True , they got something to lose when chicago politics start to roll.
the_nile on November 13, 2009 at 9:26 PM
I’m a black conservative, and I live it everyday. That was awesome from Beck.
Chudi on November 13, 2009 at 9:27 PM
I hope the young fellow with the red tie runs for office…. He is someone I could really support. I enjoyed the entire show and also would like to see it again.
Bambi on November 13, 2009 at 9:27 PM
Hey everyone from yesterday’s QOTD, is this more evidence of AP hating on Beck? Hmmm?
darii on November 13, 2009 at 9:28 PM
It was compelling. Here’s hoping there are many sequels, maybe one every month on Friday nights!
YES!
Beck is gifted at explaining what’s going on in this country. Beck has become a national treasure.
I’m hoping that he and Rush and Sarah are talking a lot behind the scenes. We need discontent, but we need unity to come from this discontent, not splintering.
petefrt on November 13, 2009 at 9:30 PM
Good show.
The Democrats have done incredible harm to modern blacks.
It’s time for them to break the bonds of dependency that the Democrats have intentionally forged for them in order to enslave them to the party.
justltl on November 13, 2009 at 9:32 PM
Brilliant idea.
nickj116 on November 13, 2009 at 9:32 PM
AP, what you say is true, as well as it is a shame. We need to be supportive, they are being brave and they have the ability to make a difference. They are dismissing the “victimhood” the Democrats give people as their only option and should be applauded.
njpat on November 13, 2009 at 9:33 PM
There were a number of wonderful spokespeople, and I agree he was remarkable. Your reaction was mine too, instantaneously: I hope he runs for office.
petefrt on November 13, 2009 at 9:33 PM
This gives me hope that not every African American rejects what Abraham Lincoln, MLK, and many others have fought and died for.
YoungAmerican on November 13, 2009 at 9:33 PM
I don’t hate Beck or Palin or anyone else. When they do right, I say so. When they’re wronged, I say so. When I disagree with them, I also say so. Not sure why people can’t accept that.
Allahpundit on November 13, 2009 at 9:34 PM
The show was flat out amazing…and inspiring!
I truly had some hope renewed.
The Left’s pandering to the Black community is intended to keep them enslaved! The Left’s pandering to EVERY “group” is intended to keep them beholden to the Left.
Liberty or slavery. These people on Beck’s show tonight are choosing Liberty…even if it’s harder!
Justrand on November 13, 2009 at 9:35 PM
What if vouchers were given to the poor instead of paying their heating bills and installing for them new windows – as many cities do.
If vouchers were abundant then public schools will shut down. Private school companies will come through and purchase empty buildings.
There will no longer be a clarion call for Property Tax increases.
Think about it.
My kid won’t be going to public school, my taxes should reflect that, sadly there is a perpetual cash grab from the Govt.
Hopefully with mass communications people will become more informed and after some time the stupid masses will call the Govts bluff.
father on November 13, 2009 at 9:35 PM
With education comes wisdom and then an enlightenment; the realization you are being used and crapped on. Man, I hope this word spreads…. it will absolutely KILL the libs.
PaCadle on November 13, 2009 at 9:36 PM
I will definitely be awake for the rerun this evening.
baldilocks on November 13, 2009 at 9:36 PM
This gives me hope that not every African American rejects what Abraham Lincoln, MLK, and many others have fought and died for.
I would like to agree, but I have met too many with young children who I playfully asked to name the first POTUS and they could not – accompanied by a fatherly scowl at my temerity to pose such a “useless” question.
honsy on November 13, 2009 at 9:36 PM
I think it is the way it is written. I almost left a nasty comment, but went back and read it twice and then I understood and agreed with you. I won’t take it to heart on this one. Maybe re-word it a bit?
njpat on November 13, 2009 at 9:36 PM
When Chrissy ,Olby , Scarry, Larry , Madcow, Cooper , Stewart et al attack these conservatives ( who happen to be African-Americans )and make fun of them, will that be racist ?
macncheez on November 13, 2009 at 9:37 PM
Must be the tone of your font.
Cindy Munford on November 13, 2009 at 9:38 PM
How much did fox pay these people? A bunch of bad actors dancing to becks tune. Those people should be ashamed of themselves.
Troll/off
Greed on November 13, 2009 at 9:39 PM
Best non-Palin post of the day!
Just kidding, AP. This was great to watch. Thank you! This is why I come to Hot Air.
NebCon on November 13, 2009 at 9:39 PM
This was one of Glenn Beck’s BEST SHOWS~I really enjoyed it. It restored my faith in my fellow Americans.
HornetSting on November 13, 2009 at 9:40 PM
It was a GREAT show! Brought my blood pressure down for a change.
disa on November 13, 2009 at 9:40 PM
Go Beck! ~and all the bright people shown here who break out of the shuck ‘n jive straitjacket that the Dems love to keep them in.
The Democratic Pity Plantation is the biggest ghetto and insult to all blacks.
Keeping them in permanent grievance & eternal victim mode.
(Can I get a Reverend Al! from somebody?!)
Instead of getting on with risking and daring and achieving.
Like every other American.
The past sucked for almost every group at some point.
We need to struggle to keep what is great in America- that freed us all- alive and strong and vibrant.
And conserve the Constitution’s values that secure our Liberty.
Beck beats Obama at this hands down.
Kudos to all involved!
profitsbeard on November 13, 2009 at 9:40 PM
I saw the show today too.
Awesome show. Although I thought it sucked big time that they were getting flack for just being libertarian or conservative.
I also noticed that one of them mentioned the plantation analogy and how the left and Dems try to put them on it.
Sapwolf on November 13, 2009 at 9:40 PM
It was a great show, some interesting perspectives. Those Black Conservatives in the room are a rare and near extinct people though.
Daemonocracy on November 13, 2009 at 9:40 PM
Y’all need to realize that when Beck gets his goof on, it’s a put-on. He’s as smart as they come.
hillbillyjim on November 13, 2009 at 9:41 PM
When BabBoxer was asked about this show she said :
I don’t believe a word they said
They were dressed too good to represent their community
macncheez on November 13, 2009 at 9:43 PM
If Beck wanted black conservatives, WHERE WAS ALAN KEYES?!
BobAnthony on November 13, 2009 at 9:43 PM
I suspected Beck was going to do this show about a month ago when he had the Black preacher from Texas on. There was something Beck said back then that was a hint he would do it.
There was a lot of energy from the group there and the show could have gone for 4 to 6 hours easily.
ny59giants on November 13, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Beck knows where people can make a difference, today’s show and the show he did a few months ago with Princeton University students taking a class on the Constituion is evidence of that. I give him a lot of credit for thinking out of the box.
njpat on November 13, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Go Glenn! Great stuff.
misslizzi on November 13, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Obama watched this show while in Japan and said:
Er ..Where is cousin Pookie ?
macncheez on November 13, 2009 at 9:45 PM
Ditto. Nothing else to say…..
Starlink on November 13, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Bingo! They are inter-related feeding off each other. Without social virtue have fun trying to limit the government fiscally. Without fiscal discipline, huge amounts of money goes towards people for nothing and it weakens the virtues.
Sapwolf on November 13, 2009 at 9:48 PM
My money is on Charles Payne at 1700 when he goes off on the guy who said Payne is weak.
By the way, the left WILL NOT touch this. This will be ignored as they will realize it is too powerful a message. They won’t want to attract attention.
chicagotrauma on November 13, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Great show! Thanks for the link, AP, I had missed the beginning.
FloatingRock on November 13, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Beck is a flat-out genius.
If nothing else, he is inside Obama’s head and he has the fascists besides themselves with rage at him for his brilliant success with doing stuff that NOBODY else is willing to do.
notagool on November 13, 2009 at 9:49 PM
How long until they state that Beck was acting as a plantation owner showing off his slaves?
El_Terrible on November 13, 2009 at 9:49 PM
Any half-white foreign born Kenyans in the audience? With documents?
BHO Jonestown on November 13, 2009 at 9:50 PM
excellent video…
cmsinaz on November 13, 2009 at 9:51 PM
Very, very, very cool. Love this.
Diane on November 13, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Or declare all the participants to be Uncle Toms/Aunt Jemimas? (or worse)
I personally give them 48 hours.
Dark-Star on November 13, 2009 at 9:52 PM
I’m sure these guys are used to it.
chicagotrauma on November 13, 2009 at 9:53 PM
I watched the show too — and my first thought was — how are the other (so called) news channels going to view this — I mean “hey “he “is” making news – enlightening viewpoints – and bringing topics we all can get involved with … And turn around to say we are Americans First — Love of Country and Liberty .
wheels on November 13, 2009 at 9:55 PM
There’s no such thing as a black conservative. There are only those that believe in the implicit, unalienable rights of Man and those that seek power over others for its own sake. The former would rather not be constained by meaningless distinctions, and the latter only use such distinctions to enslave their fellow man.
spmat on November 13, 2009 at 9:59 PM
While I was watching GB today, I wondered if it would make HotAir…and look at you….the entire episode! Good job!
Glenn said he could do many more hours with this great group of Americans….I certainly hope it happens. This could be the beginning of an awakening for ALL Americans!
redwhiteblue on November 13, 2009 at 9:59 PM
The crickets jingle.
the_nile on November 13, 2009 at 10:03 PM
On this instance, I had to correct myself because re-reading made me understand your point. I can not say that has always been the case. I often don’t come here for weeks because I feel like you do like to pick on Beck and Palin without just cause, because I feel like you are uninformed when it comes to Beck and Palin. Comprende?
njpat on November 13, 2009 at 10:05 PM
I’m not sure if this is a serious question, but I will give you a serious answer.
It is sometimes irrational, which should be disregarded. But some of what is not irrational is because you categorize them according to your own use, and usually in a derogatory manner. For example, the application of the label: populist on both Palin and Beck to describe their political views. It’s poor style, as it dismisses policy without examination, and it tends to read as dismissive of their persons.
But in fairness, that does seem to have diminished dramatically as of late.
Spirit of 1776 on November 13, 2009 at 10:06 PM
Which is why I come here every day, AP. Great concept, content, and execution, Beck. It was far more fluid and, dare I say it, “organic” than most open formats. There really was no script, Beck gave everyone enough time to speak their minds, and some really really great things were said.
Weight of Glory on November 13, 2009 at 10:07 PM
Sounds like a kill the poor mentality with only educating those who can afford it. Or attend a religious, tax exempt, funded madrassa.
they probably already would. also tax payers who have no children won’t have any attending schools either.
disillusioned on November 13, 2009 at 10:08 PM
If this show repeats over the weekend, you have got to watch it – it was fabulous! We need to have MORE of this…the full and open exchange of ideas, solutions, etc. is so vitally important in solving ANY of our social, economic, racial, educational, etc. problems.
NotPC on November 13, 2009 at 10:10 PM
Get outta here, Munford! LOL!
Fortunata on November 13, 2009 at 10:10 PM
This is somewhat exaggerated, given that we don’t live in Pakistan. That said, it would seem that many religious organizations may actually have a calling to properly educate the poor.
MeatHeadinCA on November 13, 2009 at 10:11 PM
Love it…Glenn you are the man!!
Conservative Voice on November 13, 2009 at 10:12 PM
Wow, this makes me happy. I can’t imagine the pressure on black conservatives.
ace tomato on November 13, 2009 at 10:14 PM
That’s totally fair.
jimmy2shoes on November 13, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Props to Beck for this.
Metro on November 13, 2009 at 10:16 PM
The feminists?
They’re all Libs. Sorry.
David2.0 on November 13, 2009 at 10:16 PM
I’m gonna have to watch the whole show now. WOW!
Alfresco on November 13, 2009 at 10:17 PM
It was a great show and displayed these blacks as enlightened and knowledgeable people. They get it! The problem is for every one of them there are thousands of “Obama’s Stash” folks who haven’t had the chance to learn and see what has happened to them. And it’s infectious to the point those that depend on Obama are near 50%. Education of those folks is what is needed and I bet none of them saw the Beck show today…. how do we get it to them??????????????????????????????????????????
PaCadle on November 13, 2009 at 10:20 PM
I can’t wait to see how Olberdork tries to wrap his ugliness around this one….
anniekc on November 13, 2009 at 10:20 PM
madrassa was just used as a metaphore for religious schooling here. I wouldn’t want to see a “pay and/or pray” educational system.
disillusioned on November 13, 2009 at 10:21 PM
At least some of them admitted they voted for Obama just because he’s black.
I’m so glad African-Americans have a role model for the little ones and they and the white Libtards can feel good about themselves.
Makes anything that has and will happen to our country just so worthwhile!
Dr. ZhivBlago on November 13, 2009 at 10:22 PM
Me too – but then again it is coming on at 9…but just to make sure, I dvr’d it.
HawaiiLwyr on November 13, 2009 at 10:24 PM
That was a good point.
Alana on November 13, 2009 at 10:24 PM
You would be opposed to a religious organization educating children (potentially for free) on non-religious topics?
MeatHeadinCA on November 13, 2009 at 10:25 PM
This show was fabulous! Kudos to all who participated.
Connie on November 13, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Brilliant show……Beck flopped around too much, but what the hey, it’s Beck. I will give him props for the excellent presentation of conservative values.
David in ATL on November 13, 2009 at 10:32 PM
I would not be opposed. Would you honestly believe that would happen? Would the theory of evolution be taught, or would creationism be practiced and preached?
disillusioned on November 13, 2009 at 10:32 PM
The current Administration’s war on disposable income will settle the poor quite nicely.
The current system of a guaranteed free public education–somewhere–dealer’s choice as to where, what, and by whom– is not working much better than the Pay and/or pray system that operated for most of this nation’s history.
Chris_Balsz on November 13, 2009 at 10:32 PM
I wanted to jump through the screen and start shaking hands and giving hugs to these brave folk. It was so great to hear these fellow conservatives standing up and speaking out. Well done, Glen and kudos to the great guests!!!!!
sclemens on November 13, 2009 at 10:38 PM
I’m a most black “foreign born Kenyans” with docs since I was born under the same conditions. Actually, I’m a native born American.
I personally have had ten years to get used to it.
Last year I was in a grocery store with my great-aunt with is in her eighties. We don’t talk about politics because it leads to shouting, but, for some reason she told some other old black lady that I was a Republican. For the rest of the time that they were talking, that woman looked at me like she was told that I molested children.
The indoctrination is strong.
