When This Blows Over

Friday night on the season finale of his HBO program Real Time.
Maher zeroed in on political correctness, discarding white people
problems as "mansplaining," and the inability for Democrats to
acknowledge Islamic terrorism for what it is.
"They made the white working man feel like you're problems aren't
real because you're 'mansplaining' and check your privilege," Maher
said Friday. "You know, if your life sucks, your problems are real.
What should I do? Cut my dick off and check my privilege?"
"Don't be mean to Muslims instead of how can we solve the problem
of shit blowing up in America," is not a good political policy, Maher
said.
Guest panelist Ana Marie Cox of MTV News accused Maher of
wanting to cater to "white men" by calling Islamic terrorist attacks for
what they are.
"The problem with American politics is we don't cater enough to
white men?" a bothered Ana Marie Cox asked the host.
"No, I didn't say that," he responded.
"You did, actually. You literally did. You literally did, actually!" Cox
said back.
"Democrats have become to a lot of Americans a boutique
party of fake outrage and social engineering and they're
not entirely wrong about that," Maher said.
