I actually usually fast forward through his "stand up" at the beginning of the show every time now. His 'hate-Trump' routine got really old, really fast for me.



BTW, if any of you are wondering, all of these full episodes are free on Youtube these days. lol

This. ^


I saw the clip. Getting "racism" from it is a long hard stretch. But SJW's always seem to manage it somehow.

Okay. For a minute there I thought I might have not been seeing it or hearing it right, but it was really a simply off-the-cuff type of thing.



It could have been a white guy sitting next to him and he would have used the same "Popeye's Chicken" thing. It's just that the guy sitting next to him was a POC, so the SJWs deemed it a gross miscarriage of justice.

Let's be honest: They remain butthurt that Maher destroys Trump every Friday night. When Maher made his "house n****r" joke on his show, the next week he had Ice Cube on his show to explain to him why he shouldn't have said that.

The difference is Ice Cube, and all of his black guests, know that Maher is not a racist. If he gets a "pass" for these bad jokes, it's because black people can tell the difference between a racist and jokes told in poor taste.
Sure, the writer of Cave B**** knows racism.

He left out the collared greens, grape juice, and watermelon.

Seems to me it's the extreme right who are losing their minds over this.

Again - it's the extreme RIGHT who is making an issue of this.

I saw the entire show and didn't even register any reference to 'fried chicken'. But Republicans will always find something to whine about.

Who are on the "right" that are calling for his head? Please give me examples.

The "outrage" (which I have yet to see as I haven't been on Twitter or wherever outrage occurs) does not stem from the Popeye's remark he made to Will Hurd (which, honestly didn't even hit my radar because I don't think of Popeye's as tied to African-Americans). The remark was in his monologue have to do with Black History Month and Trump's absolute lack of knowledge about black people. He said:

"Besides the lies and the crazy [President Donald Trump] is just aggressively stupid. It’s black history month, so he went into the Rose Garden and pardoned a bucket of chicken.”

How is it that any American can point a finger to alleged racism when we have a president who has repeatedly used racial remarks? I think everyone has seen and heard the Billy Bush video in which Trump said he controls women by, "grabbing them by the *****."

https://mic.com/articles/186374/nava...ent#.8PK3htiMK

The "Pocahontas" term used to demean Sen. Warren is the same as labeling a person like Oprah as Aunt Jemima. Without a question "Pocahontas" is racist as Trump used it.

If you want to point fingers then start with Trump.
