Bill Maher
I've reserved comment on the Bill Maher controversy 'til now for the most part. But a great deal of marquee Negros with unfettered media access have taken Bill Maher to task for his impudent use of the N-word. Maher can be obnoxious, irreverent, and wear his liberal credentials on his sleeve. But he is unabashedly progressive and, more notably, has the space to promote progressive causes worldwide. So, we had better watch what we pray for. Because these same Negros condemning Maher hardly uttered a mumbling word about the refusal of either the DNC or Clinton campaign (which was flush with cash) to spend any money with black media companies with predictable if disastrous results in the 2016 election. Now we have to live with the consequence of their inscrutable silence until next year when hopefully they will speak with one voice for the DNC to open its bulging coffers to black media...
