Are we done with our two minute hate yet?

Played by Ryan GOSLING.

No, his show is better than he is. If it was just him, I probably wouldn't watch, but he has great panel discussions and interesting guests. I tune in and out depending who is on.

You called him a racist in your previous post, and I don't think it's right to call him one, based on the definition. I never said only pure hatred motivated racists should be held accountable, only that the term racist shouldn't be thrown around and applied to people inappropriately. It diminishes the term. Just as

Maybe to just reiterate that SHE thinks it's important, so that when the moment comes when it doesn't work, it has more impact.

Well, since Ares knows the sword isn't a threat to him, he really wouldn't care if she went back up to the roof to get it, so I think the filmmakers didn't want to dwell on her retrieving it. She thinks it's important, but it's not.

I don't think his comments cross the threshold to racism. A racist is someone who believes other people are inferior to them because of their race. This is the problem with internet discourse. People make things equivalent when they should not be, and calling things and people racist when they really aren't doesn't

I think your interpretation is based on less evidence than mine. I don't think he's a racist based on the many years I've been watching his show and his act, and some of what I know about him personally. I don't think the motive behind the joke was racist either. He used a racist word non perjoratovely, but in a

There's more evidence for that then that he's just a racist. And I'm not saying it's understandable. I'm just giving an explanation. An explanation is not excusing. What he said was offensive to people. Not to me personally, but I don't get to decide what's offensive to others. But it wasn't said with malicious intent

Look, I believe you don't let something slip like Bill did unless you're comfortable saying it somewhere. Now either Bill is a closet racist who stews behind closed doors hating black people and saying the n-word with his white friends. Or he's got black friends that use the word and he got comfortable hearing it and

He's a talk show host but he's also a comedian. He was trying to make a joke at the expense of the Senator's comments that were vaguely invoking slavery, and his own status as a privileged celebrity, but it blew up in his face. I am not saying he gets a pass. But I don't think he should be treated like he's David Duke

1. I do know Chris Reid from Kid N Play is one of his best friends, and that he's also had a series of black girlfriends, and this can be corroborated.

Ok.

Bill actually doesn't have a famous history of being a racist. I've been watching his show since it was on. I watched Politically Correct when it was on. He has a history of being called a racist by people who don't know the difference between racism and religious bigotry, and who consider anyone who makes serious

Saying something rude and disrespectful to your fellow man, and actually violating a woman in the worst possible way are not even close to being morally equivalent. Funny also, that Bill was a comic who prided himself on doing clean, inoffensive material.

Paul Mooney, the comic you stole this joke from, says yes.

No. I just found your comparison between people defending Bill Cosby (an accused rapist) and Bill Maher (a man who said a stupid thing) way too much.

Because of what you wrote!

It's exactly what you implied anyway.
