Beck dissects Oprah's ‘offensive’ Martin-Till comparison
This is ALL I'm gonna post related to Oprah's ridiculous comments made on Monday. Thank you, Glenn...
TheBlaze: Oprah Winfrey made headlines on Monday after saying that in her mind, the deaths of Trayvon Martin and Emmett Till are the “same thing.”
Glenn Beck responded on his television program Tuesday with a thorough overview of both cases, saying Winfrey’s comments are a “slap in the face to the memory of Emmett Till and anyone who suffered during segregation and the Civil Rights era.”
“These are two cases that have nothing in common,” Beck said. “I can’t think what they have in common, honestly.”
“How are these stories like each other at all?” Beck demanded. “It’s offensive, and I would go so far as to call it evil to compare these events.”
Though what happened between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin was a tragedy, Beck said, “It’s not the same as torturing and executing a 14-year-old and bragging about it, it’s a disgrace. It diminishes what African-Americans suffered through.”
“The truth matters,” Beck repeated. “And this is what we get from the most trusted and biggest celebrity in America.”
