Before we begin this article, I need to reveal that a few weeks ago, I swore a solemn oath to the gods of hot sauce and ankle lotion that I would never publicly refer to a black person as a “coon.” I didn’t know I would be tested this soon.

When will these white folks learn that being black adjacent doesn’t mean they can say any form of the n-word or even “Negro”?

With lyrics like, “Fuck the police coming straight from the underground, a young brother got it bad cuz I’m brown,” Ice Cube has proved himself to be both a G and a sage.

This was not the week to be a Bill. Or maybe it was a worse week to be Rudy, otherwise known as Keshia Knight Pulliam. Not only did she show up to court in support of Bill Cosby this week, but she said, “The man that I’ve known as a child was funny and witty and smart and philanthropic and full of advice.” This is…

Bill Maher isn’t the only white comedian who thinks it’s funny to throw around the n-word. Just take a look at a few recent tweets from that guy who used to be in movies, Jay Mohr.

Less than 48 hours after an egomaniacal, snooty, three-toed, sloth-looking wet diaper joked about being a “house nigger” on Friday’s episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, white supremacists armed with bats, bricks and cans of Pepsi rioted in Portland, Ore., at what they deemed a “free speech rally.”

Anne-Marie Johnson knows all too well about Bill Maher using the n-word, and after his failed joke last week, a video featuring her appearance on his old show went viral. Johnson is now speaking out about her own experience with Maher’s use of the word and offered the comedian some timely advice.

In 2003, Bill Maher was in a relationship with model Coco Johnsen, and although it only lasted two years, after it ended Johnsen filed a lawsuit against Maher for $9 million. Johnsen stated that Maher promised to marry her and didn’t follow through. So of course it makes sense for Johnsen to speak about Maher’s use of…

Friday’s moment when TV host Bill Maher uttered the n-word was not the first time he crossed the line where race is concerned. Long before Real Time With Bill Maher was a thing, Maher once talked over, insulted and questioned the blackness of veteran black actress Anne-Marie Johnson, all while arguing that white…

Invariably, as the controversy over Bill Maher's house nigga continues to persist, a peripheral conversation about Maher's mythical cookout-invitee status has occurred. According to some of y'all—and by "some of y'all" I really mean "some of y'all"—Maher has done enough in his career to warrant enough of a benefit of…

Although Ice Cube was scheduled to appear on Real Time With Bill Maher this Friday before Bill Maher poorly dropped the n-word during last Friday’s show, Cube says he’s not canceling and will appear solely to discuss the corpse-looking commentator’s use of the word.

Updated Saturday, June 3, 2017, 3:56 p.m. EDT: Ol’ Bill Maher has come out with an apology after calling himself a “house nigger” during the most recent installment of his Friday-night show.

This is haircut and hoop day for me, so this is going to be quick.

Hillary Clinton cares more about police officers getting away with killing black people than Donald Trump does, according to Real Time host Bill Maher. And on his HBO show Friday night, Maher exploited the brutal slayings of Terence Crutcher and Walter Scott in an effort to get Cornel West to agree with him.

If we are to believe Bill Maher — and, for the record, I don't — booking pig anus found in the bottom of a package of chitlins with sentience Milo Yiannopoulos was an elaborate bit of subterfuge intended to shine a light on how repugnant Yiannopoulos's views and actions are.

Doing things The Right Way — when your actions are closely aligned with what would be considered the most moral way to act — is (obviously) the right way to do things. It is often very difficult; and, in the moment, The Right Way is also often unpopular. In this context, human nature is a saboteur. But, those who do…
