Bill Maher Has a Different Take on White Privilege | Howie Mandel Does Stuff #69

[@XoechitlGovea]

Howie, you are the sweetest and most genuine person. I love the positive affirmation you give your guest.

[@wandasimpson1656]

Bill Maher's discussion of women and relationships is intelligent. I am female and I agree with his logic. Howie, try to keep up.

[@sclark6807]

So nice to hear someone's reasoning without fear of social consequences.

[@thecatsupdog]

Unarmed civilians of each race are killed exactly proportional to the amount of violent crime that race commits. The cops don't control that. They are a scapegoat.

[@ShortFuseFighting]

i dont. stupid people deserve to be talked down and condescended to! we've been coddling them long enough! validating their precious feelings and rights to have their own opinions based on nothing but conjecture and "personal truths". where did that get us? do you see what kind of world this turns into where everybody feels safe to express every idiotic brain fart with the knowledge that nobodys gonna call em out on it?

Meh, it's just his personality. I'm indifferent to it.

[@vinvin4884]

It's more his tone that annoys the fuck out of me. And I say this as a long time fan. I think it's kind of funny that he doesn't watch his podcasts back. Maybe the reason he doesn't like to watch himself, is because he'd have to reflect on his his behavior/attitude - self reflection and introspection can be painful. I also think it's really funny how his podcast seems SOOO overproduced. Part of the pull of podcasts is that they're less produced/fake and Maher just really can't seem to shake his network mentality.

[@Kate98755]

@@vinvin4884 he says things that are in conflict, he’ll mock dems for being woke and judgemental and then he’ll be shallow and judgemental…only guest i’ve seen call him on it was Sean Penn…I ended up liking Sean more than Bill. The self righteousness is off the chart. He’s too self absorb to understand issues from others point of view. I’m happy he’s happy, but it’s a shallow life…but as Jordan Peterson said, I see why no one has married you…oh he says I could have…yea but wouldn’t have managed to stay married…he has a juvenile opinion of marriage…yes things change, and it’s not for everyone, but it is a comfort to have a spouse as you age, they can become your real friend. as you said, it’s his arrogant tone that is off putting…I see an old self absorbed pot head.

[@celisachoo7900]

My adopted mother was a extroverted and knows no strangers. But one day she asked me if I ever felt lonely. I was puzzled by the questions but I realized what she was asking so I asked her what is lonely feels like. She said to me that when she is alone, she feels alone and nervous. I, Then said, I don’t feel lonely, I enjoy quite time because I like time to think and analyze at the end of the day what I have learned, progress in life, and where it’s going. I, asked her, why wouldn’t anyone like quiet time? Mother then said, she thought I was lonely because I seem to spend time alone, a lot of time. I reminded her that being alone is not a lonely for some people, I happen to be one of them.

[@dahvid2252]

As a conservative man of color, I’m a fan of both Bill and Howie. I appreciate conversations like this and I truly enjoy listening to the perspective of others who don’t necessarily align with my political or religious views. I think Howie made a great point when saying there’s a lack of respect. If we just went back to respecting each other no matter political, religious, or sexual beliefs, we could move forward and become a better country at a much quicker pace.

Politics isn’t meaningless. I don’t need to spit in someone’s face for disagreeing over politics but I’m not gonna pretend like it doesn’t matter. You’re wrong to be conservative and it’s also harmful. Truth matters and it’s good to call out lies and toxicity and to not treat it like it’s valid. Tolerating it is what brought our society to the broken state it’s in to begin with:

[@BDub2024]

its a funny place america. i've never been there. but there is a strong need to label oneself. be in christian, or conservative or progressive or white or man of colour. i get it, that its the american way now.

In Australia they push the indigenous agenda but you're only talking about 3% of people max. Everyone else is under the Australian category.

I have worked very hard as a former teacher, mechanic, landscaper, and whatever work I could find over the past 25+ years. Privilege /privileged should also not be a negative word. Example: I felt privileged to learn Shaolin Kempo one on one from Master Leo Michaud 28 years ago. We need to stop accusing people of collective guilt. Bill Maher is right on!

[@ladybug5859]

I was listening to Lex Fridman's podcast and I recall, I made a comnent regarding White Privilege which was as follows: It only relates to the very wealthy or the very upper middle class which we have very little of due to corporate hegemony or capitalism gone amock and destroying it. Hence, I have to agree with Bill because I frankly think white people who are not coming from the upper echelons of society do NOT have white privilege and may or may not have an advantage. Case in point: After 2 years teaching, a gay, hispanic woman was given tenure and a woman who'd been there over a decade but was straight & white said: She got the position cuz she checked e boxes and I checked only one and they did NOT look at experience. In my case, i was studying paralegal studies while trying for a teaching job and one day a lovely African American co-student told me she'd gotten the job and she apologized. I had a Masters and years of experience domestically and internationally but she--who had NO higher degree or any teaching experience--as had the advantage of being black. So YES the BETTER word to use is advantage. I had NO privilege and due to the city I lived in, I also had no advantage.

There's so much more at play then race. Howie didn't have to tell his daughter about being pulled over by police. But as a poor child my mom did talk to me if you ever get pulled over turn down the radio, keep your hands on the steering wheel, always be polite, don't argue, don't get an attitude And she would say your young, they don't know you, so they are going to think your up to no good. Never leave home without your license. Howie has money he wasn't in poor neighborhood. Going into stores with it a parent. I would get watched, or get followed. I got questioned. I had a cop tackle me while sitting on the side of the road while talking to his partners because he thought we had drugs in the car. Which we didn't and they had to let us go. But I stayed calm, and polite. It's not always race just other races wouldn't know what others go through if they are watching only what happens to rich white kids. That's what people over look. It's rich and poor that are different and now as an adult I can see why. Because cops don't know what they are walking up on. If your in a bad neighborhood and your actions look suspicious, they have to be in full guard compared to great area's. There's advantages on both sides. If you stop to look. But if your poor your thrown all together.

[@madvillainy6845]

If a cop tackles you because he THOUGHT you had drugs in the car, he isn't very bright is he? If I was a cop, I'm telling you, I'd be a dirty cop. I'd never arrest anybody for drugs, but I'd take the drugs & the 💰 from drugs and be a straight up Vic Mackey.

Your retort is very funny, your sensitivity and openness is inspiring, and you daughter is often the smartest person in the room. Congratulations on a life well lived!

[@antonioph861]

I was raised in South Central LA and listening to Howie and his daughter speak about white privilege bothers me a bit. Im a huge Bill Maher fan after this. I hate the word white privilege because I feel like that handicaps every single person of color and allows them to make an excuse for themselves as to why they’re failing in life. I’m not white and grew up in a very tough neighborhood. What Howie and his daughter don’t understand is what it’s like to grow up in places like that and they never will. When I was in 8th grade all my friends and their older siblings would tell me, being smart was for white people and the gangster life was for us. White people are not to blame for people in those places. It’s the people in those neighborhoods that don’t want to be better and they abuse the system because people that believe in “white privilege” continues to give these people handouts. I had to join the Marine Corps during war time and going to Iraq and Afghanistan was a better option than getting shot in a drive by in my neighborhood. I didn’t want to be born there but that’s what my parents could give me, but I knew one thing. I had to get my family out of there and thanks to the hard work of everyone we got out of there. Very few families want to do that because it’s so much easier to collect a paycheck every month and pay very little for rent. I still have family that lives there and they don’t talk to us because they say we are “white washed” and are too good for them. Such an ignorant mentality to have but people that believe in “white privilege” continues to enable these people to take advantage of the help without the intention of bettering themselves. Very ignorant.

Let's get the full data set re: police brutality. Additionally, the cops were a lot cooler when I grew up in Pasadena during the 70's.

I love Bill, such a good, sane, interview.

[@huasonia1]

One thing we are missing is that too many people don’t always follow logic, don’t know if it’s intentional or unintentional. You can’t debate or discuss things out with people who just want to win, regardless of logic.

People can try to twist it anyway they want but the truth is that if you’re single in your 50s, there is something wrong with YOU.

[@j.b.9260]

He's 66.

[@Triple_J.1]

If you are UNWILLINGLY single, then yes. If you live in an area with the most beautiful and talented working ladies of the night and have a million dollar a month income, only a neanderthal or christian man would sign that line of misery and despair.

I feel people more often these days willfully misunderstand what others say- especially if that person disagrees with them. Even if I don't agree with everything he says I love listening to Bill Maher talk. Great episode.

What I love about Bill is that he knows who he is and doesn’t apologize for it. 👌

I absolutely the two of you together. It’s a riot! Podcasting is my favorite thing to listen to. You can learn so much that is why it is hated by our loving government. They don’t want us to be happy or well. But anyways, I’ve found another favorite of the week😜💪🏻 I grew up to Howie. First comedian I ever saw as a child. On tv or course lol But I was odd like him, still am. And he made it ok to be different. And would love to pick his brain someday. I feel comedy is what I’m suppose to be doing but I’ve stayed in my house for the past twelve years and well, I thought Howie would understand how to get me out of the house again🤣🤣🤣💪🏻 I love you all more than you know. And I’m serious about help with Howie🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

If there's white privilege then you have to agree there is handsome privilege, beautiful privilege, money privilege, and black privilege especially in sports. But it's life. Deal with it.

[@RocStarr913]

@@RocStarr913 well I'm glad he admitted white privilege actually exists, because the issue is most white folks try to convince the world it doesn't ..

[@michaeldavid8690]

True on all

[@Triple_J.1]

Its white culture, vs all others. If a culture creates wealth and prosperity thru productivity and delayed gratification, how is it evil, simply because other cultures value irrational violence and destruction and refuse to be productive toward a societal goal of reduced crime and better education? Reality is a harsh mistress. And Reason is Mankind's only tool of survival. To the extent that an individual or culture of people is irrational, they will be punished by the universe and everything around them.

[@mrkymrk99]

I really enjoyed this conversation!

[@derek_jesio]

Howie is sanctimonious; and to make matters worse, is all talk, no action. Also, he talks out of his ass quite a lot. Love how Bill calls him out.

[@LaGrandeBayou]

Can’t deny any of that, but I remember when Maher was a seething sanctimonious prick and was a really loud pretentious asshole about it. Both are Hollywood millionaires patting each other’s back. Shocking

[@4862cjc]

Agreed. All he can do is interupt Bill, ironically and annoyingly when Bill is trying to make a point.

[@christerry1773]

I love the point out the police killings. People on Howie’s side literally pull numbers out of their ass. Feel facts, which is ironic isn’t it….because that’s well known to be a right wing thing.

[@mkfd4571]

Be fair, though: At least Howie is open to hearing someone else’s perspective and is open to hearing criticism. I think he deserves credit for that.

[@derek_jesio]

@@mkfd4571 That’s definitely a fair and valid point. I agree.

[@tearsoflight]

I just found this show. this is the 2nd episode I've watched. I think Bill hits it right on the head with there is no community or that we've lost communal relations. It would be a great talking point for tons of shows/pod cast to talk about... what happened to that. I'm a 1986 kid and there are things I grew up with that I feel just don't exist anymore. Like single songs in a car as a family on trips.

[@Rizza.]

this was so good again... i vote bill as a reoccurring guest!

Bill seemed exceptionally prickly during this interview. I like it.

[@gwenfooteprints]

Bill sounds like an old soul, like many children born after 2000. Yes there were a few in the 1940s-50s after WWII. He was just aware of many things that many children were not. This was considered a gifted child by many parents. Bill is not as rare as many may think. He is just outspoken about it. Way to go BILL!!!!

No dull conversations at all , just real talk with comedy ; accurate podcast.

[@anythingoriginal]

Privilege is when you are entitled to something or it’s given to you. Advantage is where you have a better chance. It isn’t given a white personal will be let go for a crime. It isn’t given you’ll go to a better school or get a better job. There is still some work involved to obtain something you have the advantage in, privilege, it’s just handed to you without work. That’s the difference and I think what bill would have explained without interruption.
