Bill Maher with quite possibly the most important and poignant questions ever asked on Real Time.

Oh, great.
Edgelord Maher the Jew is back with a 5-year-old obvious talking point that doesn’t really even offend most Democrats at this point.
HBO host Bill Maher wondered why more people — including celebrities — don’t speak about the devastating crime wave that’s gripped Chicago and led to countless tragic deaths.
The comments came during the most recent episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher” when the well-known commentator delved into the topic of growing violence across the country before zooming in on the Windy City.
“But why isn’t anyone ever talking to, like Chicago, like most of the shootings are young black men killing other young black men,” Maher asked his panel. “Is that not correct?”
“Yeah, that’s correct,” Brown University economist Glenn Loury replied.
“OK, much more than what the cops do,” Maher said. “Why doesn’t anybody talk about that? Why aren’t there, you know, a hundred, giant black celebrities who would have the respect of those people say ‘What are you doing to yourself, why are you killing each other?’”
“I feel like it’s never addressed,” Maher said.
When the other panelist, University of Washington international studies associate professor Daniel Bessner, said further investment would help address the problem, Maher pushed back.
He noted one in three children in the country can’t read at a basic level of comprehension and 85% of black students lack proficiency in reading skills.
“We already spend a lot of money on schools. So, are you going to keep telling me more money will fix this because I feel like this is much more connected to the problems of people who can’t read,” Maher said. “Yes, they’re going to have problems with gainful employment, and it seems like, you know, a lot of times the solutions that come from the left seem symbolic. They don’t seem like we’re addressing what really needs to be done, which is get kids learning, get them reading, get them to have a job.”
He further said, “It doesn’t seem like the money is getting to this problem if 85% of black students lack proficiency in reading skills.”
I mean, I guess it’s good he’s saying this? Better than if he’s not saying it?
But what does it achieve?
Everyone is already getting sick of this “niggermania” stuff. Even the Democrats are sick of it because it is ruining their lives.
This gives them permission, maybe, to have a conversation about the most obvious thing on earth – a conversation that will go nowhere.
