I realize you don't like Glenn Beck, and with good reason, but to say you couldn't find anything on google is ridiculous. You're either lieing or you have no idea how to use a computer.

Google a term like "oppressed by white culture"...you'll get a lot of hits from hardcore left wing sources. Here's a great example:

Somtimes other term like "eurocentrism" are used, but the concept of "white culture" is an ongoing theme in neoliberal philosophy.

Pretty much what Glenn Beck thinks he is saying by "white culture" is American culture which is what makes it racist or I guess he could just be saying that Obama hates white people and was too scared to actually say it. I am white don't really think I identify with a "white culture". The term is odd to me unless it's in the context of white oppressive culture or eurocentrism like the above you quoted although not necessarily to the extent they are talking about. Which than I would say good for Obama for being against "white culture". I am actually interested in what Beck meant.
