Bill Maher 6/9/17

[FFaith]

I really don't like this claim that white people "can't" say nigger. "Shouldn't" I can kind of understand, but "can't"? When someone says "can't", I get the idea that they may want me to get beat up if I do say it, so I'm taught a lesson, and that makes you no better than a Muslim telling people that they can't draw the Prophet. White people are going to continue using the word nigger/nigga and others can't tell us what to do. What you can do, is put pressure on people like Bill to betray his former way of thinking (he previously defended Sarah Silverman for using "chink" and "nigger" in her act) and cower to the SJW crowd because he wants to keep making that big money. If you don't like people using the word, boycott those people.


I understand that lots of blacks have been brought up and conditioned to think "we can never let whites get away with this", so I can understand them not liking white people using it, but at the same time, you have others who get extremely offended just by hearing someone on the news quoting the word, and you have the older generation of blacks that feel the sting of the word even when it's just other blacks using it. Many blacks don't give a damn and thought Bill's joke was funny and see people getting offended by it as oversensitive. The point I'm making here is that blacks have a wide variety of views when it comes to the word nigger. "You shouldn't/ can't do so and so because feelings" is not a legitimate argument. If I agree that only blacks should say the word, the older generation of blacks may find that view upsetting. If I agree that no one at all should use the word, then I may be offending younger blacks who love the word and see it as part of their identity. You can't please everyone. Instead of trying to please everyone, I go with intent. I can say whatever the hell I like, and if someone wants to say that I'm wrong for doing so, that's their problem and not something I'm concerned with.

I wouldn't call someone I don't know that word to their face and neither did Bill. He said the word on his show that people choose to watch or not watch. Bill is on record supporting Sarah Silverman's use of the words chink and nigger, so I wasn't shocked by what Bill said. I like the word nigger. Faggot (as in lame/ annoying), cunt, whore, etc I like as well. You give an inch to the SJWs and agree to stop saying "that's gay" or whatever, and the SJWs will never stop taking. They will never be happy and their attempt to restrict speech will never have an end point. First you agree to stop saying "that's gay" and before you know it, the SJWs are demanding that you stop using microagression words like sportsmanship, bossy, mother, father, and I think even the term politically correct itself was on some of those "words not to use on campus" lists. It's insanity and I will not give an inch.
