Ugh. The “Hey.” I hate that so, so, so much. I’ve never understood it. Why are you saying hi to me? We’ve been in the same room for at least 20 minutes.

Dude, I think you missed the point about going dutch for brunch. I’m pretty sure she’s ok with going dutch, it’s that he makes such a point of making sure that you know he’s unwilling to pay for it all because he supports her equality.

This should be grey.

Depends on the context. Generally, I’m not OK with words when people intend to use them to cause harm, but if I get called “gringo”, “cracker”, or “round eyes” by my Hispanic, black, or Asian friends respectively, I take them in good humor (and, knowing the dynamics of privilege, that exchange is always one-sided by…

Oh! Please considering reading the book, and also her other novels, but especially We have always lived in the castle!

You know how it goes, all women are white and all Black people are men. Black women do not exist.

I don’t know now you, so I don’t know if you’re an ass. But I do think it’s a pretty fucked up thought to have. I’m not anti-consumerism, per se, but I don’t love living in a world in which our second thoughts, upon learning of someone else’s loss of life, are about how how it will inconvenience us slightly. My second…

Did he write a review of Man of Steel? It would be interesting to compare how he writes about a female superhero to how he writes about an equally eye-candy-ish male superhero.

I don’t really care that much about the white fans of Maher’s show and see no reason why a conversation here would be limited to them as an “us.”

No. That comparison doesn’t make sense.

There’s a difference between understanding the response and not criticizing the response. For example, I have been stunned into silence by an unexpected racist/sexist comment. I understand that response. However, does that make it the right response? No, not at all. We as white people need to learn to respond to…

He can not apologize all he wants, doesn’t change the fact that what he says is harmful and that he shouldn’t have the platform he has.

Dismissing it makes other people think it’s okay to say it and normalizes using slurs. They get to shrug and claim we are in a post racial world. We are not and it’s not a case of special snowflake. Not when cops are lynching black people with no repercussions, Le Bron James gets the slur spray painted on his house, I…

Please check out how he feels about Islam and Muslims.

99.99% of which “us”?

It’s not just tasteless. That word makes millions of people feel unsafe. He’s perpetuating the false idea that there are ways, as a white person, to acceptably use the word. Now other jackass white people who think they aren’t racist are validated by this smug jackass on TV. It’s not just a small stupid mistake.

Fuck you’re stupid.

Admittedly, I had to scroll down the comments quite a while before finding this one... But I knew it’d be here somewhere.

This seems like classic Maher to me. He has a lot of positions that overlap with progressive positions, but he’s a free speech absolutist. That’s why he got along so well with Milo. I’m sure he’s one of those people that is deeply offended by the fact that African-American hip hop artists can use variations of n—- in…

Libertarianism is like astrology for men.
