Bill Maher to Depressed White Americans: ‘You’re White, Cheer the F*ck Up!’

(Starts around the 1:55 mark)

?t=1m55s

Bill Maher ended his show last night with a message to white people who might feel depressed or frustrated about losing their country: “You’re white, cheer the fuck up!”

He explained that nowadays it’s really good to be white because “cops don’t shoot you for having your hands in your pockets” and “major party presidential candidates aren’t proposing to deport you.”

Maher misses a lot, but times like this he nails it. Very funny, but disgustingly true. Hoyt Nov 2015 #1
I don't like him 97% of the time. But he did indeed nailed it this time. LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #2

I wished it went on longer. I liked all of the guests (Steele is so likable, I tend to forget he's a goddam Republican).

I tend to agree with everything you said and esp about Micheal Steel, I've been trying to dislike him for the longest, but...
