Bill Maher 6/9/17

[Zen Badger]

The simple fact is that the word nigger is offensive.
It has no other meaning or context.
Maher shouldn't have used it and I'm glad he apologised even though he clearly didn't mean it in an insulting manner.
But for someone who has made literally millions from songs featuring the regular use of the word nigger to tell him he can't use it because he's the wrong colour is beyond hypocrisy.

If it's offensive even in the context of you using it now and no context is not offensive then are you going to appologise for being offensive now?

If I had typed the word as ni**er would that have made it less offensive?
if I had referred to it as the N word would that make it acceptable?
That it is an offensive word doesnt mean I can't spell it out in an adult fashion.

If just the word is offensive and you know it to be so then you must be trying to offend someone by using it.

Ice Cube is going to talk to Bill Maher about his using this word anyway and how it's offensive.

I'm in the mood to listen to some Ice Cube right now actually............






Lyrics
No stringy haired, blonde
hair, blue eyed, pale skinned buttermilk complexion. Grafted, recessive,
depressive, ironing board backside straight up and straight down. No
frills, no thrills, Miss six o'clock, subject to have the itch, mutanoid,
caucazoid, white cave bitch.
