Real Time host Bill Maher stopped by Fox News this week and reacted to President Biden’s racially-charged comments made during a Morehouse College commencement speech.
“They don’t see you in the future of America. But they’re wrong,” Biden told the Black graduates at the HBCU.
Maher said Biden’s speech was “not helpful” and didn’t reflect reality.
“First of all, it’s anachronistic,” Maher said. “I mean, that speech would’ve made sense some years ago. I think we should acknowledge that racism still persists and we should always be making remedies for it. But we’re not in the past.”
“I always keep saying, let’s live in the year we’re living in. We’re not living in the year where you have to be ‘10 times better’ to succeed if you’re a person of color,” Maher continued. “And in some instances, it’s an advantage. In some places, it’s not an advantage but we’re not living in that world that he’s talking about. And I don’t think that helps anybody.”

Maher has criticized the left’s refusal to acknowledge social and racial progress before.
“If you think America is more racist now than ever, more sexist than before women could vote and more homophobic than when b—j–s were a felony, you have ‘progressophobia’ and should adjust your mask because it’s covering your eyes,” Maher said in 2021.
