maher didn t interview hipz panel as much as he took questions from them. how effective do you think it was as an apology? it probably forced more calls for hinl to be suspended or show to be canceled because he was airing this out rather forth rightly on his own program for the better part of an hour but he did look uncomfortable at times maybe for a white comedian who he said was just reacting to something in the moment. it was important, i think, to talk about this on his program, to hear a variety of guests discussing it, including symone. at the end of the hour his former republican congressman said at some point people have to accept apologies if they re made in good faith and move on from this. that was sorts of the closing note of the segment. i think maher appreciated. he was having one of his guests say we should accept the apology and move on. this is very troubling for bill
going to let that happen again by nobody when i hear my home kwlis say it, it don t feel like venom. when i hear a white person say it, it feel like that knife stabbing me, even if they don t mean it. i think this is a teamble moment, not just to you but to the people that s watching right now. you know what i m saying? [ applause ] bill, i m not the people watching right now are saying that point has been made. not by me. ok. you saw cnn political commentator symone sanders sitting on the panel last hour. she joined us last hour and she made it clear to maher. you tend to white wash who was really enslaved in the house. as a white person person in north america m america, you would have been the slave owner. and it was mostly black women
