WOKE SEGREGATION: Bill Maher Hits Back At Whoopi Goldberg Over NFL 'Black National Anthem'

The Real Time With Bill Maher host and comedian had on his show a few weeks back criticized as divisive, the National Football League's new policy of playing 'Black National Anthem' at the games. He argued that it's better to play no anthem at all, instead of playing two national anthems.

The co-hosts of The View slammed Maher's comments, with Whoopi Goldberg saying “I think because we have gone backwards a good 10, 15 years, we’re having to reeducate people. We’re having to re-educate people about how women want to be talked about, how Black people want to be talked about, how Hispanic people want to be talked about.”

Goldberg also addressed Maher directly. “And just so you know, Bill, Lift Every Voice has always been considered the black national anthem" she added. "It’s always been that because the separation of the anthem has been so clear to us.”

Responding on his show Friday night to the The View ladies' comments, Maher noted sarcastically that the ladies wanted to school him.

"The program, The View last week devoted a lot of time to this, while somehow avoiding what I actually said, it seemed to be a lot about a need to school me on the Black National Anthem itself," Maher said. "Whoopi Goldberg said we need two anthems because, quote, 'we’re having to reeducate people,' because nothing ever goes wrong when you start talking about reeducation. Just ask Chairman Mao, maybe we can set up some sort of camps now."

The comedian also said: “I am what you might call an old-school liberal who was brought up with the crazy idea that segregating by race is bad. That’s what I was talking about. And again, when it comes to an anthem, it doesn’t have to be the one we currently use, but it has to be just one. You know, because it’s a national anthem, and symbols of unity matter. And purposefully fragmenting things by race reinforces a terrible message, that we are two nations, hopelessly drifting apart from each other. That’s not where we were even ten years ago, and it’s not where we should be now.”
