and finally new rule white liberals have to start listening to me when I tell them you can't be more offended than the victim it happened again last week when presidential contender Andrew yang faced criticism because he said that SNL should not have fired comedian Shane Gillis of a racist comments Gillis made about Asians that's when the internet did what it does best and deemed yang a racist for for not being offended because if he wasn't offended well someone had to be there was a study done last year where people were asked to rate their feelings about various races and white liberals were the only group that has a bias against themselves they want to hang out only with people who are not them that's like your mother preferring the neighbors kids there is a weird self-loathing going on among white liberals and it's not helping anyone lifting up those who society has cheated or forsaken that's liberalism hating all things white is just tedious virtue signaling you look like Justin Timberlake and bad teacher hate slavery so so much series the worst if I could go back in time and undo slavery I would I hate it the answer to mass incarceration to stop putting undeserving blacks in prison not to put more white people in Twitter jail every thought needs a disclaimer now the other day I heard a guy say I realized I'm only speaking as a white male and I acknowledge our tragic history of oppression but you left your lights on look white privilege is real and yes you have some advantages for being white but you also have some disadvantages many of you were born with a terrible personality [Applause] that's not item nasca that's I'll fire the director but you don't need to advertise it what's with the I'm embarrassed to be white subgenre on the internet I'm finding myself constantly embarrassed to be white I'm watching tall girl I've never been so embarrassed to be white retweet if you're embarrassed to be what Jesus rosanna arquette tweeted I'm sorry I was born white and privileged it disgusts me and I feel so much shame exactly you think it's hard being a black man in a white man's world try being a white woman who feels bad about you being a black man in the white one of us chose to be born white not even ed Sheeran so just stop because you know what might be the worst part of white shame you bore the out of black people at parties you meet black people and say things like Black Panther was so meaningful to me no it wasn't it wasn't a cultural milestone for you I have taken an informal sampling among some black folks I know and the consensus seems to be awareness yes is great white people certainly should acknowledge they've had it easier go of it but black folks are not asking White's to always be flatulating themselves because it makes everything awkward all right it puts the burden on black people to absolve you it's really it's it's really asking black people to again do something for you forgive me absolve me recognize that I'm one of the good white people Jesus heaven black people suffered enough slavery Jim Crow now now I got to make something up II feel better about himself as a black friend of mine said and I quote I'm doing I I don't need your pity here's my question how many white liberals would pay actual reparations real money taken out of your paycheck every week if you really feel this bad about the whole race thing and being white is really this toxic for society let's tax it let's tax whiteness a hunky tax will do it like carbon offsets will calculate your exact level of white lameness and then church then charge you a Caucasian offset fee based on a mean percentage of household income indexed to the net not gross national product an average with the Consumer Price Index we will come up with just the right dollar figure to offset the exact amount of you being a loser a lame white loser now pay up you white piece of you worm I mean that's what you want to hear isn't it isn't it maggot you you want to be told that a disgusting piece of white you are you white piece of look in conclusion I just want to say America has done a lot of good things and a lot of bad ones and the number one bad one with no close second is racism it's a sorry history and we're not done with it and yet black and white increasingly intermingle we get to the finish line on race by just being with each other more we don't need awkward we need laughing with each other finding out what's good about each other befriending intermarrying enjoying somebody's company without thinking every minute I'm with a person of color you're with a person and you are not uncool just because you're white and it is not a crime to know all the words to Sweet Caroline you

The problem isn't even that people were more offended than Andrew. People can decide their own level of offense. My problem is that some people were attacking Andrew, who was the freaking victim. This is why where social justice advocates sometimes hurt their cause. Focus on the bad guy, the guy who said the stuff. Stop attacking the victim just because he dared to be forgiving. Forgiveness is a normal human response. Entire world religions are built on the concept. I would argue that the majority of people in the world believe in the concept of forgiveness. The more energy they spend tearing down the good guys, the less energy they have to confront the real evil out there.

I don't always agree with Maher, and it's not like I watch his show on any regular basis... but I like that he is both very liberal, but also willing to think independently and loudly speak out when his own opinion doesn't agree with mainstream liberal orthodoxy. His recent piece about obesity was a good example.

I have at least some respect for anybody willing to be an independent thinker.

And I like that even while ranting about something, he usually has a few lines to help keep things at least semi fair / in perspective. Like during the obesity thing, talking about how we shouldn't act like it's the only vice and lots of people have something wrong (like his former drinking habit).

As far as I know that was the first time he spoke of Yang positively as well

Edit: I know as much as Jon Snow

Why Yang is awesome, apolitical, doesn’t play identity politics, focuses on the issues/policy
