To have so much hate in you, your life must be one long, overflowing river of misery. No empathy, no compassion - just hate. I’m sorry for you, and for the people around you.

Maher isn’t straight a racist for using the word once on live tv.

Note: he actually is a racist or he wouldn’t associate farm work with slaves.

You love typing it, huh?

STOP TYPING IT OUT.

This:

Have you seen his show? He is spouts islamophobia regularly. So yeah, he’s racist. But also - watch the clip. He dismisses Ice Cubes feelings about things he says in the first minute. He is not listening, he feels no consequence.

In 2017 America? Yes, failure to understand the Black struggle makes you racist. It’s not overt KKK style racism, but it demonstrates a willful ignorance or the pain, suffering, and needs of large part of the US population. 

Within the cultural context of the United States, especially when one is employed as a political commentator? Absolutely. Because one cannot seriously feign ignorance under those conditions. Maher wasn’t being ignorant. He was using the history of African American suffering (WHICH HE WAS ALLUDING TO) to benefit…

I’m particularly fond of her asking if using the word makes someone racist while repeatedly using it herself. I’m just asking questions, guys! Don’t mind the fact that I’m gleefully using a racial slur over and over again!

Hey - why don’t you stop using the full spelled-out version of the n-word in your posts? That’s the generally accepted custom, on Jezebel and other news outlets. As you probably know from the article above or if you have a working baseline understanding of American race relations, it’s an incendiary racial slur, and…

No, Mel Brooks makes fun of the Nazis, but he’s never made a Holocaust joke. He actually very publicly criticized doing that when he discussed Life is Beautiful. He doesn’t find much about the Holocaust funny. It also misunderstands why he mocks the Nazis (to rob them of their power; he thanked Hitler for making him…

Suggestion: maybe delete the use of the n-word from your post as it’s unnecessary. I don’t think the article argues that Bill Maher is necessarily a racist, but as noted in the article above, the use of the word by Maher comes from a place of white privilege, and as Ice Cube said, the racial slur “has been used as a…

Ice Cube, “I think it’s a lot of guys out there who cross the line ’cause they are a little too familiar, or they think they are too familiar,” he said. “Or it’s guys who might had a black girl friend or two who made them some Koolaide, so they think they can cross the line, but they can’t.”

Agree. Smug and arrogant? Yes. Funny? Ehhhh.

Lindsay Ellis (the former Nostalgia Chick now rocking an awesome solo channel) just did a fantastic video on YouTube covering this concept. It came out well before Maher slipped up, but it still applies.

this is what Norm Macdonald had to say about his colleague. Pretty spot on.

I’ve read this post like 4-5 times and I still don’t even remotely understand it.

People are focusing on the camo. Kylie copied everything from the way she styled models to the website layout.

The only way this should have gotten rebooted is if this is all just a hoax, and when you finally go in to the theaters, Tom Cruise discovers the mummy is actually Brendan Fraiser, and then when Tom Cruise asks him how he got there, he says “Let me explain,” and then the 1999 film starts playing, and you watch that…
