Bill Maher Slams NFL for Playing Black National Anthem, Says Its 'Segregation' but 'Under a Different Name'

[Townhall] HBO's Bill Maher called out the NFL Friday for its inclusion of the black national anthem ahead of Thursday's season opening game, a move that the "Real Time" host blasted as a form of segregation.

"I saw last night on the football game, Alicia Keys sang ’Lift Every Voice and Sing,' which now I hear is called the Black national anthem," Maher said on his show. "Now, maybe we should get rid of our national anthem, but I think we should have one national anthem."

"I think when you go down a road where you're having two different national anthems, colleges sometimes now have ... many of them have different graduation ceremonies for Black and White, separate dorms -- this is what I mean! Segregation! You've inverted the idea. We're going back to that under a different name," he continued.

Maher also slammed American colleges and universities for becoming a "social justice factory," referencing several instances where educators have resigned over pressure to be more of "political activists" than teachers.

The most recent example of this was a Portland State University philosophy professor stepping down earlier this week after he was informed that he could no longer offer his opinion to students on the topic of protected classes.

This scary for me to say...
I agree with Maher this time.

(insert any color) into anything and it then wreaks of Racism and Corporate Promoted and Supported Racial Segregation. All at the expense of 100's of millions of innocent of citizens of a different race or color.

ANY advertisers running ads during such Professional Sports league games found playing such racist trash should be avoided.

PLUS
Trump was right about the NFL. Why is it getting taxpayer funding to began with?

Washington, state and local gov's should stop all subsidies for pro sports. Because to continue such incentives, is supporting this Race Based action and could be in violation civil rights laws.

#2 not a different name, just segregation, plain and simple.

c.f. all the colleges that have implemented 'black only' sections.

#3 Looks like Maher has been infected with Trumpian syndrome. It's a mild case, to be sure.

#4 Maher is a hard-core lefty, but every once in a while, he has these Gregor Samsa moments where he wakes up in the body of a sane person and calls out the latest foolishness. Afterwards, he goes back to sleep.

I'm no physician, but I strongly recommend immediate hospitalization and ventilation therapy.

#6 Maher sits a fence like a rodeo champion sits a bronc. Like the execrable Matt Taibbi, he's just making sure his bread is buttered. Nothing more.

#7 I actually saw Bill Maher in person one time. I was flying somewhere, and he was sitting in first class. He looked severely hungover.

#10 There is only one national anthem. It is the one that we have adopted for all of us. Bill Maher surprises me more often these days. I looked out the window and saw no pigs flying. Has he stopped being a putz?
