Ice Cube Confronts Bill Maher on His Show for Saying the N-Word
VLAD TV ^ | 6/10/17 | Jessica Todd

Posted on 06/10/2017 10:44:57 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

Ice Cube appeared on Bill Maher's HBO show on Friday (June 9), where he addressed Maher for referring to himself as a "house n****r" in a previous episode. The veteran rapper got serious with Maher when he asked him, "What made you think it was ok to say that?"

Cube went on to say that it's very hurtful to him anytime a white person says the n-word, even if he says they didn't mean it. He explained, “It’s like a knife, man. When I hear my homies say it, it don’t feel like venom. When I hear a white person say it, it’s like a knife.” Cube then added, “That’s our word now, and you can’t have it back.”

Check out an excerpt from the show above.

So the ugly N word can only said by blacks? What kind of screwed up non-logic is that?

Most people say black men are hyper masculine but that’s wrong:

Theyre feminized.

Ice better be careful when he orders soup. Only white people can put those in their soup.

Feminized hood:

1. Strong emphasis on the validity of one’s own feelings

2. Fights do not end quickly with punches, instead the resentment lingers on for months even years

3. Strong emphasis on brand Goods

4. Hats and, above all, shoes are objects of extreme Delight. they are things to even kill for.

5. The key earers in the neighborhood, sometimes the only real earners, are females

6. Strong emphasis on comparing oneself to others

7. High value placed on verbally competing with others

Sounds racist. It is either hurtful or not, unless it’s just a game.

Understandable sing to many blacks, the word work is strictly a word only used by whites.

There’s no logic to black logic in the use of that derogatory word. Bill Maher is stupid to have said it but I’m not going to condemn him because that fool Ice Cube has used that word countless times in his rap tunes. We non-blocking understand the derogatory nature of that word and don’t use it. Blacks apparently think it’s OK to use it when we all know it’s not. That’s why all of us non-blacks can’t have a rational discussion about racial issues with them. They don’t get it and never will until they get off the Democrat “plantation”.

I meant to say non-blacks instead of non-blocking. Spell check on phone and of course I forgot to read before I hit the post button.

Because it's one the few things blacks can do that whites can't. So they relish that fact.

2 jackasses. If people of a certain stripe want to use the word. Then everyone gets to use it. Don’t tell me if I was 2 shades darker I can use a word and not use it as I am. Bulkship.

A race can’t co-opt a word. Either everyone can use it or no one can.

If a double standard doesn’t work for races or genders then neither do words they can use.

If blacks don’t want whitey to use the N word then they better stop using it. If not; don’t be surprised, hurt, offended, or anything else. Good for the good; good for the gander.

Should be good for the goose; good for the gander.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could correct our posts; even if there was a 5 min time limit.

Has the “Nagger” episode been removed from the South Park show and Comedy Central’s officers soundly thrashed for airing it?

What we need is a video compilation of Blacks and Bill Maher yelling n*gger.

Set it to some music and put it on you tube.

Have Robert Byrd in the video, the honorary white guest, who’s allowed to say it because he’s a Democrat. The country boy from the hills and hallows, as Bill Clintons would say.

What is the white man’s word?

Oh, that’s right. The rest of them.

Just because you like it doesn’t mean it isn’t venom, Ice.

Be a redneck not a “nigger.” There is real honor in sticking your neck out in the sun.
