Talk show host Bill Maher under fire for calling himself a house n***a on Real Time with Bill Maher...
In incident occurred after republican Senator Ben Sasse suggested Bill come work along side him in the fields of Nebraska to which Bill replied, 'Work in the fields?! Senator, I'm a house ni**a!"
Bill Maher is out here feeling way too comfortable and just used the N-word on his show. pic.twitter.com/JAojuSqn4j— Matthew A. Cherry (@MatthewACherry) June 3, 2017

I don't find this funny at all. He always seemed suspect to me.
@Casie Priest
Bill dates black whores so he thinks he's down. Just another asshole white man.
Dag Bill, Karinne said you called her that when you were mad...
The racism and racial fetishization of an everyday liberal white man. Carry on...

But yall let him get away with it as long as the there a Republican in thw room.
He's absolutely correct in his opinion about himself!
Bill Mahr is aware and funny as hell.I watched his talkshow throughout hs and college and hes made great points over the years. He isnt Imus. But I know he isnt Malcom either ;)
WTF Haven't watched this crackhead in forever. HMMMMMM I wonder if I made a joke about Jews in Hitler's Germany would he be amused? He say's he jewish.
Waiting for the Negro who's gonna try and rescue him by saying he ain't prejudice.
Since he's silent he knows that shit was totally unacceptable. The level of comfort with which he said it tells me that he probably says it when he's with ig'nant ass Negroes.
My son and I were standing in line at a restaurant. Three young men lined up behind us. Two black and one white. They started chatting and then white boy used the N word. My son said hold up. What's wrong with you dude. Don't use that word. You must be crazy.
The two negroes looked shame. Why? because it was apparent he used the word around them. I chimed in with this is how bitches get their ass beat.
I heard Oprah say she didn't use the word because that word was the last word some of black ppl heard, before being murdered. That hit home with me. ! can't say it anymore. I definitely won't allow white to utter that word, as if we'll ever be that close.

R in NYC says:
Unfortunately all these young people say the N word where I live.....Black, Hispanic, Asian etc.
It was funny.
Nigga ain't going no where.
Should it? Sure, but it won't.
Bill isn't racist.
@11:34
I know they do. But we cannot stop fighting and calling folks out. Cause the ppl before us didn't allow YT folks to say the word without repercussions. At least in situations like this.
@J Dent or your son could end up stabbed and dead like the men on the Portland train who was stabbed defending a Muslim woman who ended up leaving the train after the stabbing and having to be identified after the fact. You don't know how crazy people are these days. That happened one train stop from my job. It is not my job to police people having conversations with each other that I'm not a part of. When you inject yourself into people's business, you run the risk of getting handed something you didnt ask for.
As for Bill, his ass is dead ass wrong. That's why I don't trust these liberal, sanctimonious white people in Oregon. They always acting like they want equality and justice with their social justice work and stupid marches, but these the same heauxs that don't invite me to out of work gatherings and every other white person gets to go. Happens all too often here.

I don't know how you got our experience to Oregon. First my son and I stand up for what we believe in. I was very proud of him for stopping YT and shaming the black dudes.
And if shit got rough we ride together. I grew up playing with boys and I don't wilt under pressure.
Your comment sounds like fear to me. Like if we just don't rock the boat things will be ok. They won't be ok. Ancestors before us stood like mountains. I think they would regret sacrificing their lives so we could appease.
Martin, Malcolm, Medgar millions of others gave their lives. The goal was for us to carry on the work. Not to pretend if we don't speak out things
will be ok. They won't be ok.
You gonna die anyway. Make it for something worthwhile.
Yeah, it is fear. I fear not being able to make it home to my family. I'm not going to be a martyr because my little comment and suggestion ain't going to change a damn thing. Those men are dead and the killer was still raging during his arraignment. We still fighting the same battles we been fighting hundreds of years later.
Y'all can keep calling out people if you want, but just know these crackers are crunk and emboldened by trump. Don't matter whether you in NYC, Alabama, Miami or Oregon ... I will keep working for systematic change, not whether some Asian kids say "nigga"
He thinks that because he loves black pussy, he's down. He better make the apology real good, or he's gonna end up like Don Imus. Or exposed and dragged through the mud by all of his previous black women.
And I'm a black woman dating a white man and I say this.
Fucc 'em Bill, I gave you a pass a long time ago
We're mad about a word, AND WE TREAT EACH OTHER JUST LIKE WHAT THAT WORD MEANS, "EVERYDAY!!!
This is 2017 and we still mad about a white person saying "nigga"? Why are we shocked everytime? Our ancestors were treated worst than what we bitch about today? Fucking get over it, white people dont like us! We dont live in a fantasy land were everyone is going to like us and sing our praises. If we realize that, we can be alot farther than we are today. Get your money up and go back to Africa cause we don't belong here!
@1:00
Yes they are dead. So are you. Don't bother going home.
Maybe if black people hadn't taken the 'N' word as a word of endearment in greeting each other and in song, other races would have some semblance of respect and check themselves at the door before uttering this disgraceful dehumanizing word.
@3:03 PM
"go back to Africa cause we don't belong here!"
I've heard this comment so many times from black people and white people and my response is always going to be the same: How can I go 'back' to a country where I wasn't born or never been? I do acknowledge my African ancestry, but I'm american, born and bred in the USA. This is just as much my country as it is the white person of European ancestry. Suppose I do pack up my it and move to Africa. What am I going to do when I get there? Knock on doors asking folks are they my long lost ancestors? Ancestry.com is a start, but it's not accurate.
12:35 PM Its called growing up. When you go off to college you don't know anyone but you manage to find a way to make a life for yourself. You are right Ancestry.com is some bullshit, though! Black people really need to start investing in Africa because It's more affordable and you don't have to go through obstacles to buy property or make a living. Black people break away from the chains. We need to free our minds and no longer be afraid to step outside the box, no matter how uncomfortable it may feel. In the end I want to go somewhere where people never even heard of the word "nigga" and you should too! Black people stay strong and don't let these white folks ruffle our feathers let's get this money and be about our business!
@J Dent. Obviously I'm not dead, as I'm typing here. Nonsense!!!
Listen - can't have it both ways. The black community needs to call out these rappers and others that so freely used this negative connotation for labeling people. If not, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
This commentator has a history of racist remarks. So yes, he needs to be held responsible for his actions.
I'm still riding with Bill Maher. There are far worse things going on around us right now than a comedian saying Nigga.
I hope y'all have same energy and outrage when it's time for mid elections in 11/2018.
