Bill Maher took on Paul Ryan‘s recent comments about black culture and while he didn’t necessarily agree with Ryan, he did find it striking that prominent black people have made the same point he did but haven’t been attacked by the left...
Maher then read a quote from Paul Ryan about how lazy kids are these days and how they need to aspire to be more than “ballers” and “rappers”… except that Ryan didn’t say it. Michelle Obama did. Maher asked, “Is something less true if a white person says it about black people?”

Maher basically gives a supposed "racist" quote by Paul Ryan, there is a short discussion, then at about 2:45 into the video, he reads ANOTHER "RACIST" quote by Paul Ryan....and then lowers the bomb: it wasn't Paul Ryan making the "racist" quote; it was Michelle Obama.
Then he says, basically, to the black "comedian" on the panel: why is it racist if a white person says black kids in the inner city are shiftless, but okay for a black person to say the same thing??
Just for fun, I thought I’d post the quote that’s the subject of the article:
‘when it comes to getting an education too many of our young people just can’t be bothered, they’re sitting on couches for hours, playing video games, watching TV, instead of dreaming about being a teacher or a lawyer or a business leader, they’re fantasizing about being a baller or a rapper,’
Who cares about Ryan?
Harry Reid, Dick Durbin... Karl Rove probably likes him... Boehner definitely does...
