Hate speech is not a crime in the US. You are free to say whatever as long as it doesn't incite a riot or violence.

I even used the googles, and it mostly came back with this actual story (the Glenn Beck/Katie Couric thing) and a bunch of articles about people with the last name "White" and "culture" in the article. That wasn't all of it, but actual "white culture" didn't seem to be a common thing.

You're seeing what you want to see. Every sociology class is full of debate about the struggle of minorities in the face of the dominant white culture.

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:

B. THE CULTURE OF WHITE PRIVILEGEWhite privilege is the other side of the coin of racial oppression. Therefore, it should not be surprising to see that the culture of white privilege is a mirror image of the culture of racial oppression.
1. White culture perpetuates the ideology that white people are morally and intellectually superior to people of color. For example, many suburban white women and men think they get into college because they are “more intelligent” than Chicanos, Native Americans or African Americans; when, in fact, they get into college because their high schools prepare them more effectively for college boards than do most high schools in urban areas.

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

You really can't get into defining any culture without looking like a bigot to someone, but we all still understand that there are different cultures. It's great fodder for comedy if nothing else.

I can't stand Glen Beck, Lewis Black or Katie Couric. 3 monkeys.

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.
