    This was on his show last Friday...




    This was inspired by woke wealthy whites expressing their disgust at being white, like...

    Frankly, as long as it's voluntary, I kind of like the idea. Check the box on your tax form if you feel you have white privilege, and have an extra tax applied. Then, make that publicly available information!

    Really dumb idea and it's racist. If people feel the need to help the black community volunteer, donate money to a charity.

    But it's wrong to have a tick box on a tax form. It just fuels racism and causes a divide.

    This idiot Tom Steyer last night on Shannon Breem show...

    The African American community has been the moral center of this community not for decades but much much longer than that.
    If you go back through history you will has been on the right side of debates in this country consistently, who has actually lead from a moral standpoint, it is the African American
    Community.

    Wow.....

    What does he consider morals?
    71% of African American babies born out of wedlock.

    When I was growing up in the 70’s two of the most popular African Americans were Bill Cosby & OJ Simpson..... how are their morals.

    How about the south side of Chicago.
    How many innocent people are killed there each year. They are not being shot by white people.

    Look at Ferguson
    These looters are leading by example?

    This thread title is misleading. The OP either doesn't recognize Bill Maher's satire or is intentionally misstating Bill Maher's intent.

    agree, That's just Maher being Maher, he does this stuff every week, I drifted away from Bill because IMO his delivery is lacking a quality that I prefer but this wasn't a bad segment. I used to watch him pretty regular a few years back but his never trump stuff got to be too much so I just used my clicker to wander off, he's not quite as bad as samantha bee levels, but he takes a stab at it now and then.

    Negative.

    Maher was being facetious, and his real point was about privileged people complaining about being privileged. That being said, it's a great idea! I would love to get a list of those paying their white privilege tax.

    Is the bad white person tax tick box going to be next to the bad black person tax tick box?

    The whole idea is stupid and really racist.

    How about leaving people alone and not forcing this bullshit onto the average person. If people feel they owe society they can volunteer or donate to charity. End of.

    It's great that that people of the left suggest that, the mask is falling.
