Bill Maher: Racism in America is not the huge problem that 'radicals' say it is. And Maher's black guest agrees

Since the American fascist left says it's a major problem, we know it's exaggerated.



'The numbers simply do not bear out this genocide against black America,'' guest Kmele Foster said. 'It's not a thing.'





Bill Maher, as he typically does, brought up a hot-button issue on his "Real Time" program Friday night by asking if racism in America is really the huge problem that "radicals" have been saying it is.



What are the details?

"So, am I wrong to not want to see race all the time? Because that's how I was brought up," Maher said. "Like, that's what a good liberal does, is you don't see race. And now they switched it all around, and I'm bad because I don't see it all the time. And Is ubiquity even effective? To make people aware of this issue at every turn?"



With that, guest Kmele Foster — a popular podcaster who happens to be black — chimed in with his observation that left-wing endeavors such as "diversity and inclusion training" and "talking often about racism and discrimination" actually "can make people presume that it exists in places that it does not."



Foster then noted "you have to acknowledge that racism is a subjective allegation, right? I can presume intent on your behalf, whether or not it is actually there, and that's a major defect — and I don't want to be the object of your special concern, Bill, or anyone else's. I'm an individual, and that's what's important."



Maher was moved by Foster's words and said — as if he was speaking to left-wing racism salespeople — that "I'm so sympathetic to the cause, but don't gaslight me, you know?"



He added that "this is what I hear privately from my black friends: 'I don't want to be the focal point. I just want to blend in. I want to have a beer like you. Don't look at me like I have to, like, make a speech about it, or that you have to make a speech about it.'"



Going deeper

Maher also asked, "Is the picture of America that's presented by the radicals, I would say — Black Lives Matter, some of them, the anti-racists — of America 2021? Is it an accurate picture? Because sometimes I'm like, 'Are they talking about 2021?'"



Foster told Maher, "I don't think so," and added that there's a "great deal of hyperbole" within the constant hollering "in the streets" among left-wing protesters "who, quite frankly, do not have a serious grounding in these issues ... they've got the bullhorns in their hands, and they don't know the numbers. I'm really surprised when I see, sort of, the outrage in Portland over these issues. When I actually go back and look at the number of police-involved shootings or deaths in custody, for example ... the numbers simply do not bear out this genocide against black America. It's not a thing."



What was the reaction?

As you might expect, leftists didn't agree with Foster or Maher and blasted both of them on social media:



"Bill Maher must want to retire, I've been watching #RealTimewithBillMaher for a long time. I can't tolerate this bulls**t," one Twitter user said. "Kmele Foster sounds like a house slave, and this show with him grinning as Bill Maher talks like he knows every black perspective. I'm f***ing disgusted."

"I feel like #billmaher found @kmele in the 'I hate being black' room on clubhouse," another commenter wrote. "I don't know it for a fact, I just know it's true."

"This ugly episode of 'Real Time' would have been significantly better if Bill Maher had one of the leaders from the BLM movement on the show to dispute some of the Klan propaganda spread by this duplicitous version of Uncle Ruckus," another user declared. "Engaging in white grievance isn't a good look."

Anything else?

Foster later ripped a story that appeared in the Daily Beast about his appearance on "Real Time," calling it "bulls**t, opportunist, garbage." He added that the story's author Marlow Stern "isn't a journalist. He's a professional tattletale. And even at this bold endeavor — he fails, utterly. A cad. A charlatan. A man who wouldn't dream of asking anyone for comment/context. My intent and meaning, they aren't so hard to discern."

The biggest immediate problems, the ones getting much worse, that fundamentally changes the type of country the USA are the cancel culture, the loss of free speech, eliminating opposing points of view/political choice, politicizing education, and destroying resource sector jobs.

It's lack of education.  No culture or respect.

The USA has a problem with political intolerance.

Racism is a smokescreen. The elites can divide and conquer the working classes this way.

There has to be a reason why they want to divide people..



Some people must benefit from it.

Young Americans are taught to blame racism for every societal and personal shortcoming. Depending on your race, you are inherently either a victim or a victimizer. That is what people are told.

They do the same here in Australia. My oldest was only 4-5 years old and he was being forced by his school to make cards/drawings to say he was sorry to aboriginals... that was 20 years ago... I remember because I kicked up a stink about it with the school.



I asked the teacher that if my kid was only half Aussie and half non-Aussie, shouldn't he be saying that he's only half sorry?



She doubled down and said because we're white, we would have been disenfranchising anywhere we went outside of Europe.



So I didn't even ask if the crimes of one generation automatically transfer to the next few ones... I asked if he should go to prison.....because a 4-5 year old obviously knew what they were being born into....so they CHOSE it.



She called me crazy. I called her a stupid racist cunt, then I promised to ruin her life if she ever made my child apologise for being born.



That was 20 years ago...



I wouldn't have done that now... she'd cancel me.
Blahhhhhh...

That's the way it is now, Fash. You're part of a loving mixed race family so you all can go under the radar for a bit longer...but not much.



The race-baiters are coming for us all one day unless we stop it and embrace community values and basic love and compassion.



I've been turned down for a few positions in the last two decades, even positions I held in interim with great reviews, because I was white looking and male.... positions that my immediate managers wanted me to get such was our ability was to work well together and have trust in each other.



...and EEO HR policies said they couldn't have me....



They told me why. They didn't have to. I knew what was going on when unqualified sorts, all female and all non-caucasion, were fast tracked over me despite me being in the 2IC positions for years before on all occasions and a great track record meeting all metrics. And these were females of colour not in my department with no experience and nary an accreditation. These were idiots. I knew who they were and they were playing the EEO rules to get positions they weren't able to perform.



My managers told me why (inferred best they could) because they knew it was fucked up and they knew I would never throw them or their jobs under the bus to get revenge. They wanted to be honest with what they were told despite it being a BS reason and actionable in court. I never throw a manager under the bus unless it's illegal and never have, but I don't go along with that behaviour either.



I worked in BIG corporations.... global reach orgs...



I thought avoiding such orgs was the path after but I've seen the theme take off in medium and small orgs since.



All my managers have fled their original companies... they're hiding in specialised fields these days. They're either retired or good guys working a side angle now.



You can save a company millions or physically work your guts out every day or year in Australia now, and a female, often of colour is going to get the advancement. Or a transsexual.... or three footed circus clown.



We are done in the West. We are imploding and the CCP is gloating.
Blahhhhhh...
