Bill Maher is catching lots of attention for his use of a racial slur on his Real Time With Bill Maher show on HBO. Amid the outcry and calls for Maher’s firing, Chance The Rapper also raised his voice by asking the network to take the show off the air.
“Please @HBO Do Not Air Another Episode Of Real Time With Bill Maher,” Chance tweeted Saturday morning (June 3). The tweet has been retweeted over 9,000 times with several sub-comments in the tweet thread trying to defend Maher’s use of the slur as an ill-timed joke.
Other debates have kicked off on Twitter regarding Maher’s past line-stepping while also noting his close ties to the Black and Hip Hop communities.
Chance wasn’t the only high-profile name to blast Maher — filmmaker Matthew A. Cherry, Killer Mike, actor Jeffrey Wright, and others have chimed in on the controversy in their respective fashions. Killer Mike, who has been a guest on Real Time, tried to use his platform to warn others away from the outrage over Maher’s use of the “n-word.”
Maher apologized Saturday afternoon for calling himself a “house nigger” on Real Time With Bill Maher during an interview with Senator Ben Sasse, a Republican from Nebraska.
“I regret the word I used in the banter of a live moment,” he said in a statement. “The word was offensive, and I regret saying it and am very sorry.”
But the outry continues.
We’ve collected some of the tweets over Bill Maher and the n-word utterance below.
Chance is a bug eyed little shit who grew up completely rich and spoiled. The only reason he is “famous” is because his dad and the mayor forced it. Fuck what this dumbass kid thinks about anything.
So when the motherfucker for years STRAIGHT hated on brown muslim folk this bitch ass n***a was sitting home quiet, but as soon as it hits too close to home he speaks his mind and starts crying? Fuck him and any other black person that sits quiet when other minorities get hated on and then expect motherfuckers to care when blacks get hated on. Black people are hands down THE minorities with the best platform, if you aint in it for everyone you a fraud.
They cant defend other minorities when they not bitching about being oppressed they busy discriminiating J3ws and Gays.
Muslims make up 25% of the global population. Miss me with that minority narrative bullshit.
(in my dave chappelle voice) Man, dont no one give a fuck what Chance The Rapper gotta say .. what we need is to ask Ja Rule what he think about this .. someone get me JA!! ..
Holla!!!!
The amount of fragile whites on this site smh
Better than fragile BLM folk in the comments again
Careless Black People getting sensitive again. Hypocricy at its finest. Just get over it and continue to discriminate Homosexuals talking about people pushing the gay agenda
I’m with this to a degree but I feel you
All lives matter. Just not to each other apparently. Being black and from Chicago I see firsthand that we are the only ones killing ourselves daily, not whites. Also, whites aren’t the ones that enslaved us it was our own people that did that to us. African warlords sold us to the whites and Spanish. These are hard honest facts we all have to learn to live and deal with.
Why don’t you read a book called Black labor White wealth. Whats happening in Chicago is caused by problems caused by Europeans plus chicago has always been a gangsta as city even back in the days of Capone. I don’t even think your Black, but just a White boy trying to get Blacks to not blame whites for oppression. If the Europeans were so righteous why did they continue to get African slaves? Your telling of African warlords selling Africans is not the whole story Europeans also played a major part.Thats simple. A person who doesn’t read would beleive that.
Slavery did not end itself. It is white Europeans who banded together and globally outlawed slavery. Slavery is now making a comeback across Northern Africa.
Keep in mind that these “african warlords” and their cultural handling of “slaves” were vastly different from the savagery of europeans. Nomadic tribes like the Bushmen were the main victims because these “warlords” had lands and ppl passing thru n chillin for a bit was a no no. N think, these tribes didn’t know each other, so they said fuck it, round yall up and now you do as we say. Then some white folks w shiny shit show up and say hey, we’ll take em off your hands and slide you some of this dope shiny shit in exchange. You down? Your “african warlord” says fuck it, why not and now those captured are left to build a legacy on another continent ripe w pain and dehumanization. Did your “african warlord” know the white man was the devil in disguise? No. So why in thee fuck blame him? You give me $300. I sell you my samurai sword. You stab your children to death. My fault? Fuck no. So fuck you.
There are more slaves and human trafficking right NOW in Africa then there ever was in the US. Guess what, it’s blacks enslaving blacks.
Really? Kuz I SAW the documentary and I thought it was ARABS still enslaving Blacks in North Africa. The Documentary plays at least once a month literally on PBS, usually after midnight.
Whatever “Trash The Rapper” says, I’ll strongly disagree.
So much. I heard his All Night song on the radio yesterday and honestly I thought it had to be some kind of joke, he has literally no talent.
Bill Maher is an influential liberal voice. He misspoke but is not bigoted against African American people. Having said that, I’m not sure he can survive this. The very liberal Kathy Griffin is finished. I like both very Michel, even thought they both made big mistakes.
Chance is an armchair revolutionary secretly supported by the Black elites and political establishment. Even though it’s an offensive word to some. Black people have far worse problems than someone saying that word. I agree with Killer Mike. We call each other and hear the word almost every day. The only people who will be out raged by this will be the naacp and boule crowds.
He’s an uncle tom willing to play ball like the rest. Dont get shit twisted.
It’s pathetic how offended people are over things as stupid as Kathy Griffin holding a fake head or Bill Maher making a bad joke. This society realy is fragile as glass now, I don’t think the world has seen a society this sissified in it’s entire history.
Shouldn’t he be working with his dad and the mayor on his brother’s album. The next piece of shit to be rammed down our throats.
He sucks…chance the rapper..dumb name from a dumb kid..I thought it was funny..I like Bill..chance not as much..
Chance says the N word non stop all the time in his songs. Also why does he look like an ostrich with down’s syndrome??
Blacks are cry babies.
Whites are rapists.
Mesothelioma.
Nah it’s c00ns who can do nothing other then oogle every single female that walks by. Nigs have the attention span of a tropical fish.
Fuck off my dick
But Louis CK is fine with him? Okay.
Wow. All of these white men who made laws to fuck off ppl of color for generations. So fuck off with that bullshit. America is never ever going to get past racism if one race of ppl has to live under a different set of rules because another race of ppl made it that way. How’s them apples, Tommy?
Instead of waiting in line for some new Jordan’s, save that money. A hit In rural Nigeria is US$300. You can chill in your promised land. Leave the US if it sucks so bad.
I sure af aint gon sit outside n wait for no damn $300 kicks. But if you think I should “leave america” because “it sucks so bad”, it aint just america. Most of this worlds countries do the same or similar because its not just white americans that do that, its ppl all over the world on that fuckshit. And theres no point, to me, to leave when instead I can help be part ofthe solution.
Chance and his very wealthy powerful family represent big business and heavily endorse the same Zionist agenda that has control of all media including this website.
lmao
A guy from Chiraq Drillinois wants a show cancelled on HBO for using a bad word. Go fuck yourself, go back to your third world hell hole of Chicago and advocate your third world fascist censorship there.
don’t forget about the black cops
So… bill excersizes his freedom of speech here, classy or not, and all of the rascist black men in America freak out. LOL. Very funny. Black banks? That doesn’t sound rascist. You dumbasses are separating yourself from te rest of America. Get over it.
Yet he works with Justin Bieber for that precious money when he’s on camera too being a total racist? Fck this clown
Nigs can only function by making things difficult and playing the victim. Thank god for white people who literally DO everything to make this country function, so the c00ns can get their welfare and gibs.
