should have went with: Bill Maher does the right thing

“this bipartisan world we have where you’re just in one camp or the other.”

There is power in a union.

And the cherry on top, Maher lacks the courage of his convictions. Get out and stay out, hack.

I’m still very much in the camp of not beating up on people who end up doing the right thing after they’ve embarrassingly done the wrong thing, so good job Bill. But also, Bill Maher was an asshole before this, so fuck you Bill.

It’s nice of Bill to not mention a single “important issue” the writers have that he agrees with. He also doesn’t mention which of their demands are “kooky.” What a pal.

To the grey who has no idea what I’m talking about: Check out this site called Google, I’m sure you’ll find it has many answers to your questions. It might teach you about comedy and the concepts of “punching up” and “punching down” which you don’t seem to understand.

He apologized and wants to make things better, and instead people were like, ‘No, you can’t.

He wanted to demonstrate his faith to the Nation of Islam (which, of course, rattled plenty of white people) and to rid himself of the name Cassius (Marcellus) Clay, after whom he was named. Clay had been an abolitionist but had also owned slaves.

Ali changed his name in 1964. A great many things were more difficult for the Black community (and many others) then. It’s also unlikely that a celebrity like Jenner would have openly transitioned, if at all. That is some very uneven logic here. Has Wolf emerged as the “pick me” girl/comedian? You’re right, Michell,…

He wants everyone to be able to live the way they want to live, including Black people.

Louis CK and Dave Chapelle are two of the most financially successful comics working today — or ever. Their careers are stronger than ever; they attract immense audiences. I’m so confused why they need to be protected????? 

“Why was it easier for Caitlyn Jenner to change her gender than it was for Cassius Clay to change his name?”

Someone want to point out to these geniuses that comparing something that happened in the 1960s with something that happened in 2015 is not even remotely insightful?

Not against high schoolers tho.

There’s a great Ken Burns series on Muhammad Ali if you’re really curious.

“He’s the only one who did that, and it seems like he got punished the most for it... He apologized and wants to make things better, and instead people were like, ‘No, you can’t. There’s no way for you to make things better unless you do this and this.’ But nobody said what ‘this and this’ was. Nobody said what he…

Yeah, comparing Cassius Clay to Kendal Jenner is totally fair. It isn’t like 65 fucking years separate the two events or anything.

I wonder what the actual history behind Muhammed Ali’s name change is? I can find a lot of why, but the closest to any documentation on the process is a USA Today article claiming no legal process was required in the 1960s. Meanwhile, Wikipedia says his name change was not respected by most newspapers at the time, but…

Pretty insipid stuff. I’ll pass on that special and she can enjoy her scumbag “friends” and fuck off to another cornfield.
