Freedom of Speech

In the United States we have the right to call people names.  That includes calling the president of the United States a name.  Fox News Channel commentator Glenn Beck said he believes President Barack Obama is a racist.  He went on to say Obama has “a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture.”

 

The president’s mother was white.  His white grandparents from Kansas were primary in his upbringing.  They were the people who gave him the direction that ultimately helped him to excel in college.  It’s not likely that he would hate white people.

   

I am so very white but I did not know there is a white culture in America.  Is a white culture a religious thing or is it an ancestral thing?  My grandparents came from Eastern Europe and I was born in Canada.  What culture would that be?

 

Not to worry, the item titled “Fox’s Glenn Beck: President Obama is a racist” was under the heading Entertainment News.  Glenn Beck will say almost anything to get attention.  Beck’s hatred for white people or the white culture remark sounds racist to me.  We do protect freedom of speech in America.

  2. Update: http://www.pakspectator.com is a very interesting web site. The website is connected with WordPress. The people managing this site are technologically very competent. I am impressed that in a country that has, in American eyes an arguably corrupt government, with their willingness to maintain this site. It is very admirable.
