[tweet]Kathy Griffin's correct response would have been 'Fuck you, I'm not apologising. I'm a comedian and, funny or not, this is my job. If I'd had a dick I'd have fucked the head through the eye-sockets.' Nobody accepts an apology because that's just an admission of guilt. And don't blame your behaviour on other people. Just own it.[/tweet]
I agree, though that goes directly against the "you can't make rape jokes" SocJus line.
Left and Right are after Bill Maher tonight for joking that he was a house nigger. And check out the parsing...

White Habitual Line-Stepper Bill Maher Calls Himself ‘House Nigger’ On Live TV
Updated Friday, June 2, 2017, 11:51 p.m. EDT: This story previously incorrectly quoted Bill Maher as having said “nigga” when in fact he said “nigger” with a HARD ASS Rrrrrrrrrruh, so that makes this extra offensive. And before you start typing all fast in the comments on your racist burner accounts, I SAID WHAT I SAID. His show needs to be canceled.
Earlier:
During a conversation with Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Nebraska) on Friday’s installment of Real Time With Bill Maher, Maher told Sasse that he’s a “house nigger” and would never work in the fields.
Maher and Sasse were discussing Sasse’s book, The Vanishing American Adult: Our Coming-of-Age Crisis and How to Rebuild a Culture of Self-Reliance.
The conversation with Sasse went like this:
“Adults dress up for Halloween, they don’t do that in Nebraska?” Maher asked.
“It’s frowned upon,” Sasse replied. “We don’t do that quite as much.”
“I gotta get to Nebraska more,” Maher said.
“You’re welcome; we’d love to have you work in the fields with us,” Sasse joked.
“Work in the fields,” Maher scoffed. “Senator, I’m a house nigger.”
“You still working in the fields out there, huh?” Maher said.
“Yeah,” Sasse said. “We want our kids to suffer.”
Deray is quite upset:
Those are regressive political identitarians of course, but the right is out SJWing the SJWs on this issue too.
I don't know if this guy is joking, but he doesn't seem to be, and I don't know if it's because he thinks Maher is a liberal. Or if this is a way to attack Sasse, or support Trump.
But that guy is from the Rebel, therebel media/jack_posobiec which used to claim to be all about free speech...
