I'm a little surprised Bill's use of the N word is that big of a story. It was an awkward, spur of the moment ad lib that fell flat but not meant to be incendiary. It's certainly not the same as Kathy Griffin kicking a hornet nest with her publicity stunt gone wrong.

Its because nobody actually watched the clip and its a great headline.
Its not on HBO Go yet either so im pissed about that
I have a hard time listening to black rappers school white people on how they are not allowed to use the "N" word EVER. It reeks of censorship and entitlement. If you really want to "take that word back", then strip it of its power...don't dictate who can and cannot use it.

I agree. Its really weird to hear them saying ¨ you cant say it¨ wtf? Bill Maher? Weird.
"No reason to use the word. If you look like me the word should not pass your lips. Not a variation of it, not as a lyric alone in your car. It's not a word you should regret not being able to use without repercussion. It's not worth a free speech defense, even. Free speech laws allow us the freedom to debate asshole people outside of jail. The assholes don't need your defense or allegiance. Don't use the word. Don't defend those white men who use any word invented (by us, don't let yourself off the hook, here) to lessen and harm others. It's violent and don't do it."
Guys, I am not a moderator! I swear to God! Why does everyone think I'm a moderator?

I mean, why would a white person want to say the word? Even if black people came out with a statement saying that "all white people can now say the n-word", would you feel comfortable standing in a room with only black people and saying it? I'm confused as to why any white dude would be upset because they "can't" use the word?
I also don't call women the b-word, and I don't bitch about that, either.
