That word should never ever be casually used by anyone including

Please don't blast me. NOT prejudice. Just curious. why is it ok for black people to use the 'n' word in a casual way?

I looked horrified and did not applaud. I still can't feel my face. Bangin a ton of black chics does not give you a pass, Bill. WTF.

If Bill is beaten up after tonight then I will applaud like the audience did.

TBF I think Maher said it ironically because he thought Sasse saying "come work the fields" sounded a little racist.

Let's not be the kind of liberals who don't understand context and intent and get morally outraged about EVERYTHING
