Most teflon dude ever. Went mainstream and nobody ever brings it up. This interview was right after Bill's comments. But if Ice Cube brought it up today, Maher would definitely bring up the Death Certificate album.
I think you'll find that millionaires often are those that have a voice in our society. Regardless of what you think of income disparity etc, I think it's commendable to use that voice. Bill got some heat for what he said (which I think he deserved), and then things moved on. I am still a fan, but think that the conversation that was had was completely appropriate.
ahh yes, this timeline....who knew Ice Cube was the purveyor of N-word forgiveness. Delusion, ignorance and self hatred are now the hallmarks of progressives. Google BLACK SLAVE OWNERS; then cry those sweet little liberal tears, reminiscent of the night back in november when you libtards learned majority of whites stopped caring about being called a racist. when the truth fucking hits you. Remember, remember the 8th of November. When your whiteness became amazing When you were free from cries of BIGOTRY, RACIST, SEXIST, HOMOPHOBE Smile and revel in your whiteness and who the fuck shaved that ape and named it Symone
Oh here we go. Another one who's butthurt that his pres is a lying bag of shit who can't run a business let alone a country. Liberal is still better than being a Trump-fluffing republicunt any old day of the fuckin' week.
lol Why are you americans trying to turn this into a small thing that doesn't matter and why is cube still in hollywood? In any nation except for your american nation and your slave britain two of the most hated nations in the world people who say the things that ice cube has said get thrown in prison for spewing dangerous racist hatred. I'm not saying I would agree with this I'm just trying to make you understand the situation. You americans are so used to racism being so through the roof in your country to a point that cube saying the things that he's saying seem just a little annoying to you.
@P Q And let's not pretend that black supremacy is not a thing in america as well. So give me a break. Some of the biggest racists I've seen in your american nation were black.
PLEASE READ: As a black man, I cannot stand behind Ice Cube's or the girl's on this one. All other blacks (or whites) who were offended by it, be honest with yourselves. We decided as a society that race jokes in comedy were a thing quite some time ago. It's just funny. Bill Maher was doing his thing as a comedian. I personally didn't find the joke that funny, but it's not because I was offended in the slightest. Maher makes several jokes that I don't find funny, even ones about Trump. It's part of comedy. For Ice Cube to come on there and say, "To me, this is a political show". Fuck that. It's politics and comedy, and don't pretend like you didn't fucking know. I've been following Maher for years, and I haven't heard him say anything that made me think he wasn't on my side. And of course, it's hella easy to find videos him vehemently opposing racism, so don't give me that, "You say white trucker stuff sometimes". If you ask me, and you did since you've read this far, this is the biggest problem with the black community. Whenever an offense is committed on us, we try to milk it for everything, to the point of saying absurd shit. Like how they called Mike Brown a gentle giant, even though he was caught on tape bullying just moments before he died. He was killed by a white officer, and all of a sudden he made honor roll in school. This is another milking. An offense was made, and now Cube gets on the air saying Maher makes "white trucker" jokes sometimes (citing no evidence, of course), and then tries to see what he can get out of it by stripping Maher of comedy and effectively saying "this is a political show now". I lost all respect for Ice Cube in this. As far as everything the woman said goes ... if anything she mentioned crossed your mind when Maher made that joke, especially to that level of detail --- who the fuck immediately thought, "Oh shit, how could he say that on the 400th anniversary of slaves being brought over here!" ... If you think like that woman thinks, I promise you're causing more problems than you're solving.
What are you talking about black people were being enslaved and set on fire hanging from trees a hundred years ago so when ever there is an injustice people speak out and i admire ice cube for that hes a real one.
Accountability goes both ways on this.... Has Ice Cube and all of the gangsta and hip-hop rappers who banged out the word 'nigga' millions of times in their songs, ever considered the cultural impact and message they are sending? People of all walks of life rap along with the lyrics of those rap songs that mentions the word 'nigga' repeatedly... What do we suppose hearing the word over and over again in a song will eventually do to the minds of the listener? We can't be surprised when others loosely use a degrading word, when we've made it OK to publicly demean and degrade ourselves using it.
lol Why are you americans trying to turn this into a small thing that doesn't matter and why is cube still in hollywood? In any nation except for your american nation and your slave britain two of the most hated nations in the world people like chocolate ice cream get thrown in prison for spewing dangerous racist hatred. I'm not saying I would agree with this I'm just trying to make you understand the situation. You americans are so used to racism being so through the roof in your country to a point that cube saying the things that he's saying seem just a little annoying to you.
That's true actually. The hip hop industry constantly glorifies the word and so both black and white fans of the music think it's 'cool' to use the word.
wow I never though Ice Cube is going to make me understand how that word actually hurts them even if its not with bad intention and I respect that but if they really want the word to disapear stop using it themselfes as well not use them in songs. If its just a forbiden word for white people it just comes out like a mom after swearing telling the child not to swear which we all know its not going to happen.
I am a white male conservative and I felt myself agreeing with Ice Cube a lot. There are words that should not be said and there are bad cops. Good cops should not try to hide the actions of bad police officers. I was in the Army and am fully aware that when I wear a uniform I have to have a certain level of professionalism and part of that is protecting those who you swore an oath too. If one of your brothers or sisters uniform will not follow the law then they themselves broke that path and need to be removed!
Words that should not be said should be met with words filled with education & love, but those bad words should still be allowed to be said. Censorship = Tyranny
I'm so glad we have millionaire rapers and celebrities available to tell us how oppressed they are. I, a working class white man, solemnly vow to not use my privilege to harm and oppress literal millionaires with private jet planes, cause we all know they are powerless victims of the system. Gimme a fucking break...
@@kodek2000 I'd believe Ice Cube that the word really bothers him if he wasn't constantly using it to diss other black people in his songs. That tells me the word doesn't really bother him. He could 't care less about the word itself. It's the color of the people saying it which does. And that makes me wonder, what else does he think to be racially exclusive? He seems to be really into that. Also, you did have two millionaires get invited on a mass appeal talk show to tell us all about how they're "fighting the system" and "systemically oppressed". Which is pretty absurd, really. A bit like how Alexandra Occasio Cortez cries about being oppressed when she's a literal elected official. These people are entirely disconnected from reality.
No one person or group can just decide they have exclusive rights to a word! I can think of all kinds of words that were used in a derogatory way towards Italians! An many of them were the same words used for blacks!
I dare say most black people didn't think that much of it either. I thought the context and timing was comedicaly perfect. If black folks really cared that much, there would have been more comments on this video by black people. But yours is the first I saw after scrolling down alot.
I always liked Ice Cube but as a non-American let me say this: whites were opressed outside of America as well, by other whites and non-whites alike, and whites are not the only oppressors known to world history. Let's just accept each other as people instead of dividing us further and move on. Together.

@@happydays5989 But TSA agents under Trump at airports going through foreigner’s phones to determine their political beliefs before they enter the country, that’s definitely not dictatorship…🤡 It’s nothing to do with dictatorship or leadership actually. It’s to do with how White people treat and have treated Black people and how Black people now respond to that. Still very few white people who want to admit their own privileges or that there’s even a racism problem at all in America. Basically you all just need to get over yourselves. Unfortunately America in of itself doesn’t really let you do that, and forces you to be an Ego maniac

Bill mentioned Death Certificate being re-released at the beginning... there's a song on that album - "Horny Lil Devil" - where Cube is anti-white, homophobic and uses the word 'jap' to describe Korean store owners, in only about three and a half minutes. Interesting choice for having your 'white privilege' checked.
I know, and I love Ice Cube as well. I love the song Horny Lil Devil. But yeah, Cube is being a hypocrite, he had that song and he also made the song Cave Bitch on Lethal Injection.
Isn't it funny when an individual is inconsistent, that person gets to call it nuance but as soon as the strawman is inconsistent they are a hypocrite? Don't you know that progressives look at you and think all the same nasty shit you think about them? That you are inconsistent, a hypocrite, won't listen to facts only feelings, that you don't understand how human behaviour works. Now I am the boogyman SJW your mother warned you about. I have believes you would think are silly and childish. But we have got to stop name calling and call it what it is: Nuance. I know I am an extremist, but I think the only way we are going to move forward is with many conversations, and tacking the harder greyer parts of our beliefs
The black culture is not looking to get rid of the word amongst each other we making it plain and clear that you as a white person from the caucuses mountains have no historical right to even think of using that word plain and simple black folks can say it because it’s apart of the BLACK culture WE redefine the terminology hence that word is not for you and culture to embrace or speak on so stfu and stop using the mf word
If you listened closely you'd know, we don't want the word "gone, we just want it to come from a place of love which, generally speaking, cannot happen when it is delivered by a white person based on our countries history. As always, it's about context, not language.
In an 18 July 1952 letter, Martin Luther King wrote to his future wife, Coretta Scott, about his beliefs as a minister and proclaimed: “Let us continue to hope, work, and pray that in the future we will live to see a warless world, a better distribution of wealth, and a brotherhood that transcends race or color
I refuse to apologize for things I didn't do, and I will not empathize with people who claim to be victims of something they weren't even alive for. Especially when those people make tons of money. I won't deny there are racist people but people of all races are racist and I'm tired of the focus only being on the ones that are white. If you want to say racism is wrong, great I agree. But don't then say it's only ok for you to say a word because of your race. That's wrong.
Not a single person wants you to apologize. In fact, that is what black people DONT want us to do. Just acknowledging that sometimes being white will get you out of tricky situations is literally it. Is it really so hard to say “black people have a disadvantage by being black in certain situations where a white person may not have the same problem”. You people have such a victim complex about it when white people have ran shit and destroyed black communities WORLDWIDE without apology for centuries. So don’t apologize. Acknowledge the facts of reality.
@@dustinjoeypace according to the knowledge historian Thomas sowell the average life expectancy of a white man in Africa 300 years ago was one day. The blacks in Africa inslaved their own neighbours and sold them to the blacks as well as the whites. History is full of wickedness and racism by all races. People just like to fixate on the atrocities committed by whites when you can go back in history of any race and see the atrocities. What about some laws in South Africa that states if a white man and a black man applies for the same job the black man should get it even if he is less qualified? The world has a lot of discrimination and the new thing is to virtue signal so you can hide your own wickedness behind a cloack of valse moral virtue and feel good about yourself and act like a victim.

When people truly feel they are equals, they feel free to make fun of each other for their differences. If you feel one must be protected, its because you feel they are lesser.
We voted in a Black president Two terms in a row, and celebrated his presidency like no president before him, but ice cube says that no progress has been made in 25 years except the date on the calender has changed. Give me a break.
DarwinAward FAF good point. Let's compare the 2: many people view Trump as a reality star and a loud mouth with a history of questionable behavior and hateful sound bites. Most of the people against Obama were based on race 1st and foremost.
Not quite in line with what Ice Cube was talking about, which was specifically about how police treat black citizens in the US. Something that has been perpetuated by a string of policies we lump into "the war on drugs" which has not stopped or halted in the last 25 years. Drug laws disproportionately effect black people. Courts disproportionately sentence black people. And for further context Obama was not universally celebrated. Did you watch the GOP debates for this election? Slamming Obama was the easiest way for a candidate to garner an applause. He ended his presidency on a high but very shortly prior to that he was riding a downward curve into disapproval largely as a product of a smear campaign by conservative politicians and media that lasted his entire two terms. One of the fingers of that campaign questioned if the guy was even born in this country, a racist inquiry that lasted through most of his first term. One of the people that spearheaded the birther movement was the very man who replaced Obama in office. That being said progress has fluctuated. I think racial equality movement's have lost a lot of ground because white people have become exacerbated with call-out culture which has left otherwise subtly racist white people susceptible to white supremacist narratives and messages. We certainly aren't as racially optimistic now as we were in 2008 when Obama was elected. The political left can certainly take some credit for that, most progressives are so used to being right they've forgotten how to respectfully discuss issues with different perspectives or walks of life.
I think I'm starting to understand why Conservatives are tired of the race card. No one seems to consider the source, intention and/or situation anymore. Bill Maher has defended minorities over and over again. His apology was straightforward and sincere. It was obvious that he wasn't trying to disrespect black people.
@@slevinchannel7589 Ice cube is being offended by a word that means nothing... Still using the white and black words to distinguish differences.... and bill maher does not understand anything?... Give me a fucking break

Check out Ice Cube's lyrics throughout his career. Then ask yourself whether he's positioned to lecture anyone on the morality of language choice. Then ask yourself why he doesn't acknowledge this obvious contradiction?

Because of current events I had to recently read this book. It terrified me. The chapter where he reads the book he was given that describes how they took power and how they viewed humans and how to break down they’re individuality. Horrifying
What's funny about this is that George Orwell was a passionate socialist and actually published an essay in which he said that no society could last much longer if it didn't institute true socialism soon
He says it's like a knife when that word is said (I agree? I hate all hateful words like that) but in the same sentence he says "it's our word now... as black people we can call each other that, but when white people say it, it's like a knife" it either IS a hateful word or it ISN'T. You can't claim a word for yourself. Don't you realize that when you say it's only ok for black people to use it, THAT'S RACIST? Would it only be ok for white, Asian, or Mexican people to do or say a certain thing because of their skin? No. Should Bill have said that word? No. Why? Because it's disrespectful, hateful, toxic. Should anybody really use that word? No. Why would you want to disrespect yourself, your family, or friends? I think no one should use that word, period. No one should be treated good or bad because they're black, white, yellow, brown or whatever. People like to focus on differences. Instead, why don't we focus on likenesses. We all have differences, yes, but we all have so many more likenesses. We are all human, and we all look a little different. Where's the love? It's easy to hate. The real challenge is to find at least one thing to love about someone. Even if you might not like them.
Um when you're the one called the slur and it is used against you as a form of oppression, then yes, you can do with the word what you want. Everyone else doesn't get the same treatment. This is so simple y'all.

Any group that wants to be defended by Ice Cube has already lost my respect. Let's hope there aren't many people who want his defense or share his views.
Imagine being a multimillionaire, with a mansion, fast cars, generational wealth, part of the richest 1% of people on the planet and having the gall to come on tv and tell people living in poverty, struggling to put food on the table, in a trailer that they’re privileged because of the melanin content of their skin.

As long as people continue to classify people according to color, we will continue to have racism. Classifying people into this category or that category creates division. We are all human beings. There are good people and there are bad people. We cannot get away from that. But until you know what type of person you are dealing with, treat them the way you would want to be treated. If a person or persons try to put you down, you are being tested by God to rise above it. I wanted to be a Police Officer, and when I applied, I was told, we are not hiring white men. Even Officers from another city with 10 years of experience were told the same thing. They had a policy to hire more minorities and women as there were too many white male officers on the force. What did I do, established a new career path, which in the end, proved to be a superior job that match my personality. I wouldn't change a thing if I had to do it all over. No regrets. If I had any regrets, I would make a change in my life to make it right. Thank you for reading this. I hope this helps anyone look at things in a different light. God Bless you all.
I get the intention of this, but saying “we’re all the same, we’re all people!” is a convenient way to whitewash over societal advantages and disadvantages granted by race. Segregation in America has had generational effects and many black children are still affected today by these policies. Predominantly black communities in general don’t have access the same educational resources as middle class white communities. I understand the idea of what you’re trying to say and it’s nice, but things like this aren’t fixed by just saying “we’re all equal and the same” and calling it a day. Lot of political and social changes still need to happen to make things equitable. It’s the difference between being “not racist” and “anti-racist”. Hope you have a good day.

It was like Hitler telling someone how they were wrong for making a Jew joke. Total blindness for the one who is the real problem (Cube) for black people. Cube has done more harm for Blacks alone, than Bill has done wrong in his entire life.
Joey just by the way he looked at the audience you can see that he's never forgave anybody in his whole life? You know for your comment I could say that you are not very smart but I don't know you but the people closer to you they do.
I'm white and 60. I can say any word I want. I choose not to say that word from the way I was raised from my parents. I would also like to have Cube address his song "Mr White". from the album lethal injection. I respect my parents more than him. they weren't hypocrites. Like him.
I always found it ironic that the dude that came out with “Fuck the police” always plays a hard ass rule breakin cop? A conspiracy theorist would be screaming “they got him!” But yep, Mr White....
well , i understand your point, but again, you ain't black and you were raised what appears to be good parents. This is coming from a white looking latino.

It's not about living in the past it's about not sweeping what happened under the carpet. Forgive but never forget. Unless you have lived in their shoes nobody can really understand their point of view. The same thing applies to the Aborigines of Australia. Understand their platform and don't dismiss it because it's in the past. You can't change the past or change the narrative to suit but you can make steps towards reaching a common ground and an understanding.
Something you might find funny someone else might find offensive. If that person has a legitimate reason to be offended then you should apologise for the joke Lets say you make a joke about someone dying of cancer then someone you work with says "sorry that isnt funny to me cause my mother just died of cancer" Would you not apologise for that?
@@dan4992 Because there will ALWAYS be someone who is offended by any joke. Then every joke has to be apologized for, which kills the entire purpose of a joke. Why are someone's feelings so sacred that they have to impose their will on the existence of everyone around them just so no one gets hurt feelings? Bad experiences teaches people how to navigate bad experiences so the bad experience isn't so bad next time. When this doesn't happen, the slightest perceived negativity imposes an unreasonable amount of suffering upon that individual. It is in their own best interest to suck it up, buttercup.
@@russman738 you dont have to tell your joke too EVERYONE. Know your audience. If its two friends sitting alone then say whatever you want. If you're in public with people you dont really know then think about what you're saying. The whole point of co-exisiting with people is the fact that we impose our will on everyone around us just like how you're trying to impose your will of sacred joke telling on everyone. So instead of acting out of selfishness and going "screw yall, I'll say what I want" maybes think about what you're saying who you're saying it too before you say it... Basic human decency.

Anybody mention that Ice Cube is a phoney. Out of all of the original members of NWA, he was actually raised in the suburbs, with two successful and supportive parents. He was not raised in the 'hood. Common misperception. He needs to call himself in his own bullshit.
C D Even if he wasn't raised in the suburbs, he went from being in Compton and not wealthy at all to being one of the most famous rappers and acknowledged actors. Get this, he's not white either. He's in fact richer than most whites that struggle and even richer than most of the common people in the world so I find it funny how he calls us privileged even though he's rich af
Bill really listened intently here. I think he apologized nicely and reasonably. I love to see that he stands up for himself, too though. Seriously they overdid it with making him feel sorry, I think. He made a mistake, publicly apologized and he meant no harm.
Nah, he didn't. Cube is just being an overly sensitive bitch. They call each other all sorts of things but when somebody else does it they always play the victim. Fuck off.
That's not the point he has to be dragged through the mud to serve as an example for others, that's why you don't apologise these people are at war with you make no mistake, behind their smiles are daggers.

Bill Maher is a dork. 💯
PLEASE READ: As a black man, I cannot stand behind Ice Cube's or the girl's on this one. All other blacks (or whites) who were offended by it, be honest with yourselves. We decided as a society that race jokes in comedy were a thing quite some time ago. It's just funny. Bill Maher was doing his thing as a comedian. I personally didn't find the joke that funny, but it's not because I was offended in the slightest. Maher makes several jokes that I don't find funny, even ones about Trump. It's part of comedy.
For Ice Cube to come on there and say, "To me, this is a political show". Fuck that. It's politics and comedy, and don't pretend like you didn't fucking know.
I've been following Maher for years, and I haven't heard him say anything that made me think he wasn't on my side. And of course, it's hella easy to find videos him vehemently opposing racism, so don't give me that, "You say white trucker stuff sometimes". If you ask me, and you did since you've read this far, this is the biggest problem with the black community. Whenever an offense is committed on us, we try to milk it for everything, to the point of saying absurd shit. Like how they called Mike Brown a gentle giant, even though he was caught on tape bullying just moments before he died. He was killed by a white officer, and all of a sudden he made honor roll in school.
This is another milking. An offense was made, and now Cube gets on the air saying Maher makes "white trucker" jokes sometimes (citing no evidence, of course), and then tries to see what he can get out of it by stripping Maher of comedy and effectively saying "this is a political show now". I lost all respect for Ice Cube in this.
As far as everything the woman said goes ... if anything she mentioned crossed your mind when Maher made that joke, especially to that level of detail --- who the fuck immediately thought, "Oh shit, how could he say that on the 400th anniversary of slaves being brought over here!" ... If you think like that woman thinks, I promise you're causing more problems than you're solving.
Context matters and the person saying it.
You so smart you dumm
With all due respect... You are TERRIFIC. Have a great life.
What are you talking about black people were being enslaved and set on fire hanging from trees a hundred years ago so when ever there is an injustice people speak out and i admire ice cube for that hes a real one.
You've got a sold take, if we cant discuss issue even under comedy, than they don't get discussed at all...
Thank you Ice Cube for having this conversation and Bill being open to what Ice needed to say.
Accountability goes both ways on this.... Has Ice Cube and all of the gangsta and hip-hop rappers who banged out the word 'nigga' millions of times in their songs, ever considered the cultural impact and message they are sending? People of all walks of life rap along with the lyrics of those rap songs that mentions the word 'nigga' repeatedly... What do we suppose hearing the word over and over again in a song will eventually do to the minds of the listener? We can't be surprised when others loosely use a degrading word, when we've made it OK to publicly demean and degrade ourselves using it.

That's true actually. The hip hop industry constantly glorifies the word and so both black and white fans of the music think it's 'cool' to use the word.
Me: it's a free country
wow I never though Ice Cube is going to make me understand how that word actually hurts them even if its not with bad intention and I respect that but if they really want the word to disapear stop using it themselfes as well not use them in songs. If its just a forbiden word for white people it just comes out like a mom after swearing telling the child not to swear which we all know its not going to happen.

@@magibubu Gee, maybe if they stop saying it to each other, the rest of the world will stop. Alot of foreigners think its a "good" word and its not.
I am a white male conservative and I felt myself agreeing with Ice Cube a lot. There are words that should not be said and there are bad cops. Good cops should not try to hide the actions of bad police officers. I was in the Army and am fully aware that when I wear a uniform I have to have a certain level of professionalism and part of that is protecting those who you swore an oath too. If one of your brothers or sisters uniform will not follow the law then they themselves broke that path and need to be removed!

His point is that you can't use that word because it was used like a sword against them and now is theirs. This isn't about class struggle.
@@kodek2000 I'd believe Ice Cube that the word really bothers him if he wasn't constantly using it to diss other black people in his songs. That tells me the word doesn't really bother him. He could 't care less about the word itself. It's the color of the people saying it which does.
And that makes me wonder, what else does he think to be racially exclusive?
He seems to be really into that.
Also, you did have two millionaires get invited on a mass appeal talk show to tell us all about how they're "fighting the system" and "systemically oppressed". Which is pretty absurd, really. A bit like how Alexandra Occasio Cortez cries about being oppressed when she's a literal elected official. These people are entirely disconnected from reality.
@@kodek2000 yeah but it's okay for him to encourage the murder of white people. WTF
No one person or group can just decide they have exclusive rights to a word! I can think of all kinds of words that were used in a derogatory way towards Italians! An many of them were the same words used for blacks!
I'm black and I thought the joke was funny as hell and I don't mind the N-word as long as it's used the proper way and not used to insult someone
we need more people like you brother. If everyone was as sane as you, there would no racism today.
Well said man, it is about intent, need more people like yourself!
I dare say most black people didn't think that much of it either. I thought the context and timing was comedicaly perfect. If black folks really cared that much, there would have been more comments on this video by black people. But yours is the first I saw after scrolling down alot.

True
However, you cannot disagree with what she said , because it is true.
If you listened closely you'd know, we don't want the word "gone, we just want it to come from a place of love which, generally speaking, cannot happen when it is delivered by a white person based on our countries history. As always, it's about context, not language.
In an 18 July 1952 letter, Martin Luther King wrote to his future wife, Coretta Scott, about his beliefs as a minister and proclaimed: “Let us continue to hope, work, and pray that in the future we will live to see a warless world, a better distribution of wealth, and a brotherhood that transcends race or color
I refuse to apologize for things I didn't do, and I will not empathize with people who claim to be victims of something they weren't even alive for. Especially when those people make tons of money. I won't deny there are racist people but people of all races are racist and I'm tired of the focus only being on the ones that are white. If you want to say racism is wrong, great I agree. But don't then say it's only ok for you to say a word because of your race. That's wrong.
Not a single person wants you to apologize. In fact, that is what black people DONT want us to do. Just acknowledging that sometimes being white will get you out of tricky situations is literally it. Is it really so hard to say “black people have a disadvantage by being black in certain situations where a white person may not have the same problem”. You people have such a victim complex about it when white people have ran shit and destroyed black communities WORLDWIDE without apology for centuries. So don’t apologize. Acknowledge the facts of reality.

celebrated??? I dont remember billboards that said "secede" and puppets of the president hung in a noose when Clinton or the Bushes were in office.
michealterrific What about all the effigies of trump that get burned in bonfires?
DarwinAward FAF good point. Let's compare the 2: many people view Trump as a reality star and a loud mouth with a history of questionable behavior and hateful sound bites. Most of the people against Obama were based on race 1st and foremost.
Not quite in line with what Ice Cube was talking about, which was specifically about how police treat black citizens in the US. Something that has been perpetuated by a string of policies we lump into "the war on drugs" which has not stopped or halted in the last 25 years. Drug laws disproportionately effect black people. Courts disproportionately sentence black people.
And for further context Obama was not universally celebrated. Did you watch the GOP debates for this election? Slamming Obama was the easiest way for a candidate to garner an applause. He ended his presidency on a high but very shortly prior to that he was riding a downward curve into disapproval largely as a product of a smear campaign by conservative politicians and media that lasted his entire two terms. One of the fingers of that campaign questioned if the guy was even born in this country, a racist inquiry that lasted through most of his first term. One of the people that spearheaded the birther movement was the very man who replaced Obama in office.
That being said progress has fluctuated. I think racial equality movement's have lost a lot of ground because white people have become exacerbated with call-out culture which has left otherwise subtly racist white people susceptible to white supremacist narratives and messages. We certainly aren't as racially optimistic now as we were in 2008 when Obama was elected. The political left can certainly take some credit for that, most progressives are so used to being right they've forgotten how to respectfully discuss issues with different perspectives or walks of life.

it either IS a hateful word or it ISN'T. You can't claim a word for yourself. Don't you realize that when you say it's only ok for black people to use it, THAT'S RACIST? Would it only be ok for white, Asian, or Mexican people to do or say a certain thing because of their skin? No.
Should Bill have said that word? No. Why? Because it's disrespectful, hateful, toxic. Should anybody really use that word? No. Why would you want to disrespect yourself, your family, or friends?
I think no one should use that word, period. No one should be treated good or bad because they're black, white, yellow, brown or whatever. People like to focus on differences. Instead, why don't we focus on likenesses. We all have differences, yes, but we all have so many more likenesses. We are all human, and we all look a little different. Where's the love?

Imagine being a multimillionaire, with a mansion, fast cars, generational wealth, part of the richest 1% of people on the planet and having the gall to come on tv and tell people living in poverty, struggling to put food on the table, in a trailer that they’re privileged because of the melanin content of their skin.

As long as people continue to classify people according to color, we will continue to have racism. Classifying people into this category or that category creates division. We are all human beings. There are good people and there are bad people. We cannot get away from that. But until you know what type of person you are dealing with, treat them the way you would want to be treated. If a person or persons try to put you down, you are being tested by God to rise above it. I wanted to be a Police Officer, and when I applied, I was told, we are not hiring white men. Even Officers from another city with 10 years of experience were told the same thing. They had a policy to hire more minorities and women as there were too many white male officers on the force. What did I do, established a new career path, which in the end, proved to be a superior job that match my personality. I wouldn't change a thing if I had to do it all over. No regrets. If I had any regrets, I would make a change in my life to make it right. Thank you for reading this. I hope this helps anyone look at things in a different light. God Bless you all.

@@rwmartinez1262 Okay racist
I get the intention of this, but saying “we’re all the same, we’re all people!” is a convenient way to whitewash over societal advantages and disadvantages granted by race. Segregation in America has had generational effects and many black children are still affected today by these policies. Predominantly black communities in general don’t have access the same educational resources as middle class white communities. I understand the idea of what you’re trying to say and it’s nice, but things like this aren’t fixed by just saying “we’re all equal and the same” and calling it a day. Lot of political and social changes still need to happen to make things equitable. It’s the difference between being “not racist” and “anti-racist”. Hope you have a good day.

So instead of acting out of selfishness and going "screw yall, I'll say what I want" maybes think about what you're saying who you're saying it too before you say it... Basic human decency.
Props to Bill for letting these to speak to show their true colors.
What true colors?
Racist belligerent black supremacist Pos
Bill will never make a show about holocaust
@@cristinacristina9964the truth of the Holocaust is that 12,000,000 Christians and gypsy's got executed as well. That isn't mentioned very often. And that is a travesty in it's own right. Lord Jesus rest those poor people's souls.
@@scottmcquarrie7295what are you babbling about?
The word it's like a knife man...thats why only we can use it
🤣🤣😂 Hilarious
So a knife wielded by a 'brother' can't cut you?
I know....what a load of bollocks!!
Context and intentions matter.
Im sure you already know, the context in which it's like a term of endearment between close friends.
If you have friends that you're close with that are cool with you guys talking to each other like that, then go right on ahead.
It's probably not going to be received as appropriate, if you were to say it to, let's say, the teller at your bank, a flight attendant, your boss, random strangers walking around etc....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@kylaarmstrong-benjamin8066 Stfu lol 🤦♂️ Bill obviously said it was a joke and ice cube took this as an opportunity to get more clout for his upcoming album. Meanwhile, he literally said "redneck" which is something someone from no matter what race would get shot in the face saying in the deep south lol.
Rank stupidity by Ice Cube there. It's so stupid.
She lost me when she said that Labron James is one of the most powerful people in the world LOLOLOLOLOL
ColourMeZed Lebron James* is a highly respected athlete and public figure who's at the apex of his profession. She's not wrong, bro
Couldn't Care less*
who is Lebron //Man from Sweden
no idea who that is
Americans think their country is the world :\ They're mostly clueless.
Anybody mention that Ice Cube is a phoney. Out of all of the original members of NWA, he was actually raised in the suburbs, with two successful and supportive parents. He was not raised in the 'hood. Common misperception. He needs to call himself in his own bullshit.
C D Even if he wasn't raised in the suburbs, he went from being in Compton and not wealthy at all to being one of the most famous rappers and acknowledged actors. Get this, he's not white either. He's in fact richer than most whites that struggle and even richer than most of the common people in the world so I find it funny how he calls us privileged even though he's rich af
Watch the damn movie he directed where he fucking made that obvious. He was just the only one who could write a song.
That's how you handle a Devil!!!!!!! PRAISE YAHWEH!!!!!!!!
Wait ... what happened to question no: 2?
Bill really listened intently here. I think he apologized nicely and reasonably. I love to see that he stands up for himself, too though. Seriously they overdid it with making him feel sorry, I think. He made a mistake, publicly apologized and he meant no harm.
@@kinginyellow1490 so u think america is marching towards nazism ?? Lmfao!! 🤣😂🤣
Nah, he didn't. Cube is just being an overly sensitive bitch. They call each other all sorts of things but when somebody else does it they always play the victim. Fuck off.
That's not the point he has to be dragged through the mud to serve as an example for others, that's why you don't apologise these people are at war with you make no mistake, behind their smiles are daggers.
this was a dumb take
Watching, I thought Maher was too polite to the thug, who while attempting to speak English, ghetto style, was in a passive bully mode. Maher should have brought up the hypocrisy the his guest is guilty of and if he did, “Melted Ice” would have been his new label.
“Fuck school nigga Imma be a dope dealer” -words of wisdom from Ice Cube
Yeah, he's a far worse example for black people than Maher could ever be. His tracks no doubt did a lot of damage to impressionable black kids because of this sort of harmful message.
"Because the streets is a short stop / either you're slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot"
And you loved it when you heard it.
I hope your black or your in big trouble young man !
@@Jackson_Plop and then he GREW up and made family movies , with ZERO profanity for the same community, today kids don’t even look at him that way , he was young and made mistakes like any other human being. We’re gonna shine a light on his lyrics from the past when he’s done more than enough to turn himself around . How many founding fathers were pedos or rapists including the beloved trump & we haven’t forgot about Bush either And we’re the ones always complaining 😂 classic
Here's a teachable moment, STOP KILLING EACH OTHER
For a "tough" guy, he sure whines a lot about a joke
Germán yupp, real hard core.
whatta sellout! f Ice cube.
Germán it's all for show. He's a little bitch on the inside.
Honestly I'm upset Bill Maher caved. Freedom of Speech. Like it or not. I'm a Trump Mexican American conservative but I like Bill because even though I disagree with virtually everything he says, I like that he's always open to debate and he's a reasonable liberal.
I just came across this video. What was this bullshit about that warranted them to trash Bill and regurgitate their usual hypocrisy?
You lost me @ TMAC.
@@drianarvaez1343 Exhibit A: Typical idiot ignorant liberal that can't comprehend how someone views the world differently than them. Thanks for being my shining example dumbass.
Isn't it what he said a definition of codependency? That other people's actions and words influence the way you feel?
I am identified as “Caucasian” (I’m Italian and honestly don’t identify as anything else) and i was expecting to hear a lot of “white privilege” and “white supremacy “ and “systemic racism”etc, but I think Ice Cube hit the nail on the head here. His comments were balanced, reasonable and accurate. Thanks for having him on and just letting him speak.
Maher is probably eye rolling so hard in his mind
"When I hear it it sounds like a knife stabbing me"
Sounds like a you problem cube
no sounds like a microagression "the hate be in the jokes" thing against my people. We are a great race that has contributed so much in society so if we nagging oh well we WILL be heard
@BCharlieee
Um.... yeah no shit!
Did he say it was a "you" problem?
@@kylaarmstrong-benjamin8066 yes that is quite literally what he is saying.
@@bcharlieee just go ahead and say f**k his feels!
While ya'll up in yours!😂
@@k.a.sanders9823 Damn right!
💯
Ice Cube: "When I hear a white person say it you feel like that knife stabbing me."
Me: Sounds like a you problem, Mr. Cube.
Professor Black Truth brought me here! Ice Cube was having none of it; that's why we love him.
