I don't condone what Maher said, but Trump supporters stand on real shaky grounds on criticizing Maher given Trump's past incendiary statements and the existence of outtakes of the Apprentice that show Trump using the N-word multiple times. As they say, people who live in glass houses...
You know damn well, if they existed, they would have been leaked by now... Seriously! If it is dirt on "The Donald" it was worth Billions, if not Trillions. It would have been worth blood.
Don't fool yourself, because you ain't fooling me.
To me, well, I think different people find different things funny. I don't really care for the racial slurs, never find it funny.
As an artist myself, I think I know the differences between an edgy artist and a troll.
Manet’s audience was used to a refined and very controlled art-gazing experience. Images were presented for aesthetic enjoyment in primarily formal terms: subtle light and shadow, harmonious colors, balanced compositions. The content either recalled an idyllic past or celebrated abstract virtues. while the public at the time failed to grasp the brilliance of his innovations, posterity recognizes him as the superior artist.
I don't think a great comedian or a great artist needs to use "race" or "toilet humor" to be "edgy". Nothing edgy about the N or the C word. A little five year old knows what that means. It is not like their eyes are going to pop out as if they just saw a man with two heads. LOL
Find something creative, is what I will say.
But I doubt Maher did anything that wrong here. Like I said earlier, it is always about intention and context. I hope nobody is calling to end his career or something. lol
Yet it's ok for black comedians to constantly call white people "crackers" and other derogatory names during their comedy routines.
Maher used the word in a contexts that wasn't aimed at anyone. On the other hand blacks call eatchother the word day in and day out as a term of "endearment".
Black comedian Larry wilmore called former president Obama the N word on national tv. Where was the uproar from blacks then?
I feel like the 'uproar' isn't coming from blacks even now. Seems just like some people want to make this a political issue. Who started this ranting thread anyway?

Please post links to theses Apprentice outtakes you mention?

The mentally ill have always gotten a pass on their lack of self control.
We cannot blame them. We use to just take their rights away, so they were not a menace to society and constantly causing chaos.
The only people who will have a problem with this are SJW's who may have nothing to whine about over the weekend so they'll take this up as being the most horrific word a person can say.
