Defending a egotistical asshole (who he himself has apologized for being intolerant). I thank God my time is short. I just can't take this shit anymore from "allies".
Some people really need to stop and think about how they really feel about racism and if they are part of the problem or just a bystander that because it don't affect them, they just don't give a shit. There are many forms of racism, some subtle, some not.

(11,243 posts)I am assuming this is about Maher. I didn't see the thread in question, but I have been here long enough to know what it says anyway.
He is 2nd rate comedian and an intolerant sleeze who occasionally gets in a good burn against people we also hate. That's not the same as an ally.

I've never seen so many POC lectured here like children. Fuck that.

That does not help me to understand the OP. It is very obtuse.

(12,448 posts)One of those threads was unbelievable. Defending racist name-calling is NEVER okay, just as the N-word is never okay from anyone other than a Black person. (I don't like it from a Black either, but I don't presume to tell them what they can and cannot say about themselves among themselves.)
Thank you, William.
