I agree with Wet Dog. Katie Couric suggests to Beck that his use of the term "white culture" might be racist "to some people." Beck seems to be taken aback by the question, which was probably not covered beforehand in show prep. It was obviously a question for which he was unprepared. His lack of direct response is simply an unwillingness to step into Katie's trap, and he says so. His loss of composure is embarrassing and pathetic.
His mistake was not attacking the notion that it could conceivably be racist to talk about white culture, any more than it is racist to talk about Black culture. He needed to stop being an interviewee and turn into an interviewer, as Wet Dog suggested.

For the record, I do not like the idea of white culture, one bit. I hope that there is never a Congressional White Caucus.
The Left has chosen to use race as a tool with which to divide America. Beck should keep that in mind: it's their tool, don't make it yours.
