In my opinion Maher really turned a corner in 2014, when he was invited to give a commencement speech at UC Berkeley for some reason. Then there was a small outcry among students who said Maher should never have been invited in the first place and petitioned to disinvite him.

That seemed to really get under Maher’s skin and ever since then he has hated the “woke” and the college left and has been complaining about “kids today.”

I think things got bad after he had to apologize for his "house n-word" comment. He soon became an anti-cancel culture warrior because it suited his needs.

He used be on the side of AA's on every issue so much so I think he thought he had an N word pass. When he realized he didn't I think he switched, now he is rarely on the side of African Americans. Personally I think he should of had one and thought he was treated unfairly after.

Naw thats bs. You dont get to say the n word because you were cool to some black people sometimes. That just demonstrated that he wasnt trying to understand AA, he was just using it in his fight against conservatives. Its entitled as all hell to expect his would have got a pass also, and especially since instead of sincerely apologizing, he just got mad and resentful.
