The metaphor, Beck said, was intended to draw attention to white Americans' neglect to understand the very real issues, like police brutality, facing black Americans on a daily basis. He repeated the "All Lives Matter" mantra in an NPR interview the following day, where he further urged all Americans "to start listening to each other and getting out of our own little labeled bubbles."
Beck's "labeled bubbles" theory may be ground in reality. A Pew Research Center survey released Monday finds "significant differences" in the way black and white adults use social media to share and interact with race-related content. A Pew analysis of 995 million tweets over a 15-month period - from January 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016 - reveals that events from Baltimore, to Charleston, South Carolina, to Dallas "often serve as a catalyst for social media conversations about race" that go beyond just hashtag activism.
The conservative backlash to Beck's new-found position was immediate. Leading sites, Breitbart News and The Drudge Report, lambasted Beck's comments, which were made just hours before riots in Milwaukee following the fatal shooting of Sylville K. Smith at the hands of police.

No, just being sarcastic. I truly believe that any black person who is generally law-abiding and respectful of authority will not have problems with the police for the most part.
There’s also a lot of peer pressure in play there. If you aren’t complaining they’ll accuse you of being an “Uncle Tom”.
Glenn Beck should just get a normal job, and quit trying to prove he’s batsh!t crazy.
He bought the notion, that everyone got pie but the blacks!
Of course if they didn't get any pie they would be justified in screaming “my pie matters”
But, and this is a BIG BUTT. NO ONE IS GETTING ANY PIE!!!
The police ARE out of control, and ARE over militarized, and ARE in many cases using deadly force when it is not justified (kicking in the wrong peoples doors and shooting them, shooting kids who answer the door with a wii remote in their hands, ect)
BUT, these black agitators lost ALL credibility when :
1. they decided to only defend THUGS (yeah, I said THUGS) who are FIGHTING with cops, shooting at cops, pointing guns at cops, ect) THOSE PEOPLE DESERVED TO BE SHOT!!!!!!!
2. They decided that ONLY their lives matter, NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, and to HELL with the rest of you crackers!
Black people commit disproportionately more crime than white people, thus cops will be less likely to give them the benef of the doubt when there is trouble. Who would blame them? Profiling is common sense.
If black people would take care to help their own communities straighten out and start being law abiding, they can turn that around. But that would be tooooo harrrrrddddd.
Tied with #1 IMHO is the rate of babies being born to teenage mothers with no fathers, nor father figures around to guide and to teach, and to lead. Just one generation after another birthing more and more babies with no stable family life whatsoever, and living on more and more welfare. I read now that it’s over 70 percent of black babies born to unwed mothers. There’s now an epidemic of 30-40 year old grandmothers raising their children’s offspring. Seriously, how far can this go? When they become teens, they have absolutely nothing to build hope upon, nothing to aspire to except the vicious, ugly cycle of government dependency and blaming it all on whitey.
NO GLEN you don't get away with this one!!! THIS is NOT WHITE AMERICA, this is the Obuma Administration that has caused this problem!!!
He and his ‘partner’ could have gone into the Black Community and helped them with their jobs, housing, education, healthcare...all of this could have been so much better than it is now, all because of OBAMA!!!
I don't see you going into the Black Community and helping...the only thing I see you do is go to the border with Teddy Bears and Soccer balls to ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!!!
How many of those African American children would have loved to have had a Teddy Bear or a Soccer ball??? Did you think of that? And you have the ‘BRAINLESS’ sense to blame the White American??? What type of MORMON are you??? This is NOT what they teach, nor what they preach, your a hypocrite in every sense of the word...
Instead of all that money that you, Ted Cruz and Obuma spent on vacations, Teddy Bears and Soccer balls, this could have been spent on helping the Black Community...
At least Trump and Pence is looking at this as an AMERICAN way to help these people to become productive, more than I can EVER say about any of you two bit hypocrites!!!
Now that we know that BLM is a Soros operation, it is clear that Glen Beck has sold out.
I think the metaphor was intended to draw attention to HIM. He only gets attention by saying jerky things now.
That goes without saying.
This kind of thing is called self fulfilling prophecy, or chip on the shoulder.
I wonder what Martin Luther King, Jr. would have said about this, or at least been counseled to say.
Now, actual wrongdoing in the blue is a different story and that needs to be addressed even if one is a green martian. But that is a color blind affair.
At the very LEAST, Soros has been caught “investing” in it.
39 years on this planet as a white person. Harassed several times without cause by the police. Go figure.
Well then, Let's Riot!
Seeming to have little other song to sing than “Poor Us.”
I blame Democrats for a lot of this. They haven’t been treating black America with true dignity since before Jimmy Carter was a peanut.
I suspect this is true. I wouldn’t be surprised. His empire built on fear mongering and self-importance is most likely beginning to crumble. Soros knows who to target, who has the weakest inner soul, and it’s usually the one who claims to have the strongest.
Beck, in spite of his attempt to brand himself as some beacon of intelligentsia; a white-headed professor struggling with his deep religious belief....
...is nothing more than that goofy-ass 1980’s morning show DJ that happened to be in the right place at the right time when 9/11 went down. He’s a shallow, dumb, opportunist that would sell his soul for the right price.
Nah! I have to work.
Redneck Grievances!
I personally had a run in with a “bad” cop who pulled me over and hassled me for no good reason. Long story, but the short of it is he was just a jerk.
Fast forward, a few years later, one of my black employees is going on and on about how cops give him a hard time. So I told him my story, BUT I led him believe that it had actually happened to a black friend of mine.
My employee got all self-righteous and pointed out that that was just another incidence of police racism.
I then asked him what if that incident had happened to me?
He said “not in a million years, cops love white people.”
I believe a large chunk of the black race has become delusional.
Glen Beck is a lost cause who will soon announce he’s been hired as butler for Harry Reid.
