Bill Maher: The Existence Of A Black President Is Driving People Crazy

OK then you're an idiot.

Nope, doesn't matter what color his skin is any more than it matters what color his eyes are. after a while we're all going to have a medium skin tone and have asian eyes anyway. I do think Obama getting elected shows that maybe there is less racism than before, can you imagine a black president even 20 years ago? However, I come from a small, pretty white town, so I can tell you there is still racism out there, it's just a shame that the media wants to give those kinds of people a platform. Sadly they can get better ratings by stirring up a controversy than reporting actual news.

"Well, I'm black so I have to ask whites..."

Wow, I don't know. Something about this line of text really just bothers me. It sort of reads like a line of text from the early 20th century. I think it's a bit outdated. You know, talking about people as if they are laundry-sorting categories. You've got to wash your whites seperately and you've got to wash the blacks seperately. You see what I mean?

And, no, my skin is at a perfectly normal temperature because I am not bothered in the least bit about the color of Obama's skin.

Two clarifying questions:

What's a white? and is there a green?

cause I like green.

the green dollar so mighty so powerful

I could care less if a President is black, white, green, blue or red. Just so long as he puts what's good for American citizens before what's good for corporations.

Does Wall Street qualify?

jmarkred the point of my comment was that there is no way that you can prove that you are NOT a racist.

And so if a poll was held that asked white male conservatives why they didn't like Obama, how many people would admit that they didn't like him because he was black?

Probably very few, if any. So even if it was true, how does a race baiter like Bill Maher come up with his conclusion that people a "black man in the White House is driving people crazy?" Did he and fellow race-baiters Chris Matthews and Janeane Garofalo go out and take a poll?

No evidence was presented, so we can probably conclude that he is full of crap and just pulled that statement out of his ass.

naa i like it!

You act like racial tension never existed in America.

The majority of Americans don't vote

No I think you need to listen to what she said. It may be a stupid thing to base things on, but it is done alot.

Well thanks Debra, but it is Tims post I merely commented! If you mean my comment then thank you as well.

I was wondering that as well, I give votes up to people that are giving honest opinions! I can see by your comments that you are a rational person attempting to get involved here on current, and I will always give an up vote to someone like you! We have a lot of trolls here on current that just like doing the negative thing, don't take it personnel, keep commenting it is your right!

bullshit. they can't stand him because he's an arrogant, ignorant, incompetent boob who makes Carter look like a genius.

by the way, I voted you down, nothing secret about it.

Everyone seems to be so opinionated on this site. I got personally attacked by the above mentioned posters, for only expressing my personal opinion. The funny thing is I didn't even know these people before they attacked me

Try as they might, bullying won't silence me.

Good on you, they are nothing but someone typing on a computer keyboard. This is your new found freedom of thought!

No anyone with a brain that you are calling a racist because they don't agree with you.

Until you say something that Kenny disagrees with then , "you're an idiot".

You called a majority of Americans racist, but that's not an attack.

There are a lot of phantom libertarian douches as of late

I see you took the nuts out of your mouth teabagger. Put them back in and shut up.

Spoken like a true Fox devotee, citing Jimmy Carter

Well thanks for giving me the judge, and the jury job! I appreciate that! Now let the hangings commence!

They are trying real hard!

Curtisreed, are we projecting again? You're a fool and will always be a fool. The conservatives and their corporate overlords have stripped us of everything. They've taken our homes, our savings, our retirement, our jobs, affordable medical care and now they're after that last bastion of public wealth, Social Security. You act like all this happened in the last two years and prior to January 2009 America was a paradise. Bullshit.

This has been going on for three decades starting with Ronald Reagan and deregulation. All Reagan did was open Pandora's Box and let the corporate terrors loose. They are the reason things are so bad, not Obama. The US government didn't outsource our jobs, take our homes, keep wages flat for 20 years, trash our 401Ks, institute 30+percent interest rates, not directly at least. It was mostly done with the help of conservatives in Congress who never met a multinational corporation they didn't trust. They have worked for 30 years to undermine the legitimate authority of the US government all the while blaming the government for their mistakes. And people like you bought everything they said hook, line and sinker. You're being played like a tool. FOX "News" won't tell you this, nor will Beck, Hannity, Coulter, Limbaugh et al, because they make tens of millions yearly to keep people like you distracted and angry.

All I can say is when you're eating cat food and breaking shingles off your house and burning them to keep warm, don't blame the US government, because the person to blame will be staring at you every time you look in the mirror.

I still remember Lawrence getting in the face of the republican that insinuated that John Kerry was a liar, He was yelling on national TV to the prick republican pundit, that he was the liar.

Think about what you just said. If he's on HBO that means there are people out there who actually pay a higher cable bill monthly just so they can see Bill Maher's show. He's very popular, it's hard minimize his opinion.

I don't minimize his opinion he's done that too himself!
