Turns out Beck is an equal opportunity stereotypist, even including white people in his Nazigasims. Beck was named to TheRoot.com's list of "The Blackest White Folks We Know." Said The Root:
The emotional right-wing talk show was probably the last person on earth we'd put on this list until he discovered that blacks have been all but removed from the history of America's founding, and actually gave a black history lesson on his cable TV show. Yet we suspect we'll have to revoke it after his upcoming rally at the Lincoln Memorial on the "I Have a Dream" speech anniversary.
So what did Beck do? He put photos of the 32 other people named to the list on his "black"board and started to try and identify them. His first fascist smear was to call Emeril Lagasse Hugo Chavez. Then, when he got to Brian Urlacher, he said he was a "Neo-Nazi."
Beck apparently was told Urlacher could do severe bodily harm to him so he actually "apologized" to Urlacher, or as Beck calls him, "U-Lick-Her." Beck says he only made the fascist joke because of Urlacher's white skin and short hair. Oh.....that makes it okay! I guess Emeril got called Hugo Chavez cause he has dark skin and dark hair. Here's the so-called "apology."
I hope Urlacher sees the "apology." If you think he was mad at Gale Sayers, I can only imagine what he'll say about this.
