Not sure I'm buying this story, but here it is:

Always liked that guy. I can't believe he's a closet racist. That just doesn't make sense to me.

Deserves to be fired if true... sucks how pervasive racism still is in our society.

Probably an off the cuff remark on the border of being racist. He never struck me as bring that way. He was not as good on fox as he was before his health issues.

Hopefully he was drunk but to tell me a huge liberal in NYC would say that at work is mind blowing.

Agree. Just doesn't add up.

Wealthy white liberals are racist? What? They love diversity as long as it isn't in their neighborhoods, schools, clubs, workplaces...

Beckel is an ass but I have a hard time believing he dislikes black people and would say something so stupid.

A moron knows you can't say things like that at work.

This smells like a Juan Williams conspiracy to get Bob's time slots on The Five.

Either Beckel is a wealthy white liberal racist, or he's a victim of the anti white male policy of the left that he actively promotes. It's hard to find any sympathy for him either way.

Agree with headhunter and others here. Think BB is a giant dbag but just can't see him saying this, especially after get a second run at FOX.
