Symone Sanders is usually unbearable on CNN, but she wasn't that ridiculous here. David Gregory was actually the more biased one here. It's incredible that this guy used to host Meet the Press, one of the biggest jobs out there and now he is a partisan hack.

I appreciate Bill bringing out Tyson and Ice Cube to speak on the issues. There is no excuse for what Maher said and I hope he learns from it. We want comedians to be innovative, we want this show to be passionate, but there are lines you just don't cross.

Pitiful
Unknownian15 September 2017
The entire show prior to Ice Cube's appearance was completely negated, once the self proclaimed speaker for the entire African American community arrived, and spanked Maher for a comment he had already apologized for many times.

It was a pitiful, and painful scene to watch Maher all squirmed down in his chair taking a worse beating than he ever imposed on those he may have offended with his 'off color N word' remark.

The time would have been better spent discussing the use of the N word by African Americans to describe themselves, if they ever expect the rest of the world to eliminate the word from the English language.

Personally, I have heard the word enough.....from 'both colors'.

This episode was a 'show stopper' for me. Knowing all that Maher has done to help the black community, this show completely ended my Realtime love affair, and I'll never tune in again.
