Uh oh, I love Maher but that's not good
---

---

Bill Maher sucks but that was whatever
---

Isn't there a pretty big dif between ga and ger?

Wankster white trash say ga all the time and no one seems to care


Maybe Bill caught the topic about banning the word here on CE lol

THIS IS NOW A 'BILL MAHER GAVE CE A SECRET SHOUTOUT' TOPIC

What CE topic will billy boy make a subtle reference about next?!?
---

Looks like the democrats' racist history is showing up again.
---

it's a fucking joke, holy shit.

yikes
---

Here come the "don't be a snowflake" republicans pretending to be outraged about a joke that, if said by a right wing comedian, they'd vehemently defend

"omg it's a joke/parody/satire"


Every fucking time
---

Obvious hypocrisy either the left, but it's a joke...like a joke meant to make people laugh, not holding a bloody head of a president with a dead glance.
Also, while Maher is such a damn flag waver he is good on free speech.

LOL like 90% of the public posts about this when you click on the story on fb trending topics are white NuMales ahahahahaha

Christ they just come flying out of the woodwork like roaches for an opportunity to virtue signal, remarkable.


I mean its a no contest its just silly if you're a public figure to even think of toeing the line saying it cuz of the convoluted rules around what is literally just a word and one thats been abused by crappy rappers to the point of the original gravity of the word being null and void, nevertheless I'm looking forward to the neo liberal hysteria shrieking from the rafters like howler monkeys in the most overdramatic tweets possible to demand his firing lol

Is there a trending hashtag yet? I'll get the popcorn
---

Liberals can't be racist tho
---

that was actually kinda funny and clever. Bill Maher is cool enough he can drop an n-bomb in a joke...

can't wait for the shitstorm to come his way from angry idiots looking for something new to be to angry about!

"If Bill Maher can say it maybe one day I can too"

idk CE y'all got issues

lmao who said that?

I had a little laugh at it.

Not a big deal.
---

are we gonna act like Bill Maher being awful is news
---

It actually wasn't as bad. The crowd reaction kinda helped it, but it didn't... sound offensive? I mean he wasn't calling somebody else the n-word, he was calling himself one. But then again, the whole phrase has a lot of implications behind it so... I'm conflicted
---

Both sides will be fucking hypocritical about this. It was in poor taste, won't effect him though. It's fucking HBO not the Food Network.

I see no problem with this. Yeah people are gonna get offended, but somebody always does. Fuck 'em. It was a decently funny joke, wasn't malicious at all. If you're gonna use that word, that's a good time and place to.

It's because conservatives don't know how to be funny. Well, Dennis Miller would be an exception and he can actually tell a joke.

"I wasn't offended by a racial slur that's never directed at me, what's the big deal" -CE


1. It wasn't even a good joke

2. Bill Maher seems to think because he's liberal he can make comments like that. While discussing this with a friend I was made aware that wanye Brady wants to beat his ass cause he told wanye he was barely black.

So it's a habit

Comedian with decades of precedent on leftist issues tells joke using an "offensive word"?
Stop the fucking presses.

The only ones complaining;
Racists whining about a perceived double standard.
Racists whining about another double standard not being socially enforced.

How does him being liberal give him the right socially to say that ?

By black comedians and it's typically based more around Wayne not being hip hop, then him actually not being black.

Wayne took offense to it because someone who's not black and doesn't know what being black is cant tell him he's black or not.

Doesn't make it less racist though

He's spent years argue for causes that help black people, stoking debate, and platforming marginalized and powerful voices alike.

Cry more about word choice, child.

I'm not watching the video so correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems Maher is simply jumping on the joke bandwagon. I don't believe he was being malicious.

Yes. If you want to close your mind and not watch RT ever again or start a twitter campaign against him, have at it, that's your right.
But just having an opinion doesn't make it well informed or well reasoned.

This debate isn't anything new and dying on your sword yet again to bring someone who is otherwise an ally down with you, that's dumb. That's to reiterate for the n'th time, "why Trump won".

People don't like double standards, this racial bullshit, pc culture, word policing, etc etc etc.

This is just another example of the left cannibalizing itself to placate sensitive fools that can't take a joke or understand satire.
This is more of exactly what we don't need, ideological purity tests.

Basically this.
He projects a FUCK TON on to what Bill said, saying he doesn't understand the black experience, fucking a couple black girls doesn't count, etc then proceeds to threaten violence, ironically stereotyping himself as what he was whining about what he assumed Bill thinks of as a stereotypical black man.

It's never only been black comedians that said that. That's not the reason why and yes, that last sentence is correct. Yes, Maher was out of line for that comment, but that is not related.

You might need to watch the video once more since you seemingly missed his point.

I can see certain liberal subsets getting upset over this. I wouldn't be surprised if some of my ultra liberal friends complained about it on Facebook this morning.

Funny how the two extremes are starting to reflect one another.

That's basic horseshoe theory politics.

But yeah, I agree. This just seems to be part of the pattern of false flag outrage though so that's why I'm skeptical.

White comedian make offensive joke

White people leap to his defense, telling black folks how to take this in the process

So seem to think me not wanting to say it means I was triggered or offended.

Allies who deal in subtle racism like that aren't allies to me, fuck em. I don't see why I should be content with close enough to being fully respected, I want the whole thing all 100.00 percent.

And double standards are away of the world, we're human with different backgrounds and cultures not some math problem.

Every culture has their own shit they can decide if they've wanna share or not.... the n word is one of those things.

You can choose to take it if you want but when the shit storm comes you asked for it
---

I don't care if it's the hard "r" or the "a" version. No white person has a right to use that word without negative backlash. And it is a double standard when it comes to political affiliations. When it's said by the left, it's treated as a joke by other white liberals. When it's said by a white conservative, they have just killed their career.

Gonna just quote this guy's post from the topic about it on the politics board.

As usual a certain subgroup of people showcase they don't understand what's offensive about the word, so they assume it's the word itself that's offensive and so it must be offensive to use it in any and/or all contexts.
