Thoughts on Bill Maher?

That's what I'm saying.

[Galileo]

Bill Mahar is a stone cold racist. He is part of the alt-left.

[TeyshaBlue]

well thats one way to relieve the right of any responsibility on the matter, although take that same sentence, replace climate change with any political position, and now every political question becomes a non-issue

lets apply it to liberal policies you dont like, such as CHL or wealth distribution policies. its just a strawman for you to squabble over while those in power find creative ways to line their pockets

That is the main stay of the neoliberal playbook.

1. Create or promote wedge issues.
2. Hide behind the coward's skirts of red or blue.
3. Profit.

What a jabroni move by Maher.

Might as well kissed Jesse Jackson's ass

Wtf. What better way to get back in good graces than letting Ice Cube scold you.
Although it was irritating listening to the black chick pile one. I was hoping Cube would jump in with a " ...shut the up".

[UZER]

Don't like bill Maher, but "it's our word and you can't have is back" is a bit much.

If I'm a white suburban kid, and Ice Cube is my favorite artist, I can't sing along with his songs? What if I'm at his concert?

Anyone who gives a what Bill says is looking in the wrong direction, but he has capitalized on people giving two s about his takes. The swamp seems to cover a lot of people.

In a vacuum, it doesn't matter, he was trying to be the white/black guy with a cynical, sarcastic take. In this political environment though, people have struck the match and set their neighbors homes on fire. They all cried hallelujah as their comrades were hauled away for saying less. Nappy headed hoes, lynch Tiger Woods, Paula Dean's past, in the armor, cornball brotha... on and on and on. Eventually the fire got to Kathy's house, then to Bill O'Reilly, then to Bill Maher. It won't stop though. It will keep going until it creates an ultra-sensitive media and it won't give a which side you're on. The right will demand heads from the left and vice versa.

Maher tests "The Who gets to say what" rules.

I like it. What whites cant say, what Christians can't say, what conservatives can't say, what males can't say... safe places...

He is pressing boundaries to clarify whatever social rules for speech, etc are the norm presently. Lotta white people walk on egg s s and apparently tired of it. I think the presidential election illustrated this frustration. Mahler puts the full court press on. He is frustrated because he wants to be a comedian who are often granted immunity.

I get Ice Cube's stance on who can/can't use the word, but I'm sick of the can/can't talk...how long, how many years, is the "N" word going to be thrown around by ppl, by blacks or whites? 10 year? 20 years? 30 years? 50? 100? Like I said, I get the intention behind re-appropriating the word...but that's all it is...it's not educating the ppl who actually need to be educated--the actual racists--bec. they're a lost cause & they're going to use it no matter what. Bill needed to be educated, I believe, but thinking you're going to stop racists from using it is stupid. An exercise in futility. So. that's why the conversation, truly, should just be about "should/shouldn't", no "can/can't"...the word should be dumped altogether by everyone. This "who owns" the word game is stupid.

[pgardn]

Oh gawd it's all about who gets the money. The climate change debate is just a strawman for the masses to squabble over while those in power (on both sides) have a tug of war to see which can find the most creative ways to line their own pockets.

What?

This story started when one guy started a fire and got smoke on his neighbor downwind.

You can't poison my air.
Yes I can I'm over here.
No you can't it's hurting me over here.
Ok, I'll make a smokestack, will you please shut up. (I'll bill you for the cost of the smokestack)
Oh , London is now black.

[pgardn]

sausage fingers wildly overcompensating now.

Im behind.

What does this mean?

[Trill Clinton]

Yikes

That looked staged

[Trill Clinton]

White people really hate when they don't get their way. That's what I'm getting from this page.

[IronMexican]

It's just but hurt black people, tbh.

I never get offended if someone says s in a joking manner.

Quit being so easily butt hurt.

I enjoy Maher but he looks like such a jabroni here.

[monosylab1k]

What? A prepared segment on a semi-scripted talk show is staged?

Of course. White men are like God's to Mexicans, of course y'all don't care what they call you.

[pgardn]

Promoting racial harmony between minorities I see.

You.
Are clearly white.

[Quadzilla99]

That segment was so cringy. Almost single handledly turned me into a conservative tbh

[MultiTroll]

Remember when Maher said something like 'the Taliban/Al Queda are more brave then the US military sitting in a submarine 100 miles away off shore and launching a missle.' -paraphrasing.

Maher caught a ton of for that and it was none other then O'Reilly who had him on his show and gave Maher a chance to apologize and explain himself. The rest of the media had Maher in pariah state.

Now that Oreilly is in deep water with his gropin allegations all Maher has done has on him on the show.

One should remember when they were extended mercy / kindness.

[MultiTroll]

As to this current flap, get over it and move on.
Attention host makes a stupid joke.
Real s don't even care what Maher said.
Why pay it any attention?
