That’s interesting. They had an anonymous survey at a school i was part of right after george floyd. Students posted their experiences with racism anonymously. In every case it was the ‘perception’ of racism. If there was a confrontation the racism is assumed (im sure in some cases correctly). However, i could have put my white self in any of the scenarios they described. I concluded that i guess it is privilege of a kind to have a confrontation with someone and never have to wonder if it was racially motivated. Ive dealt with many jerks (and been the jerk many im sure) but ive never once related it to my race. Of course, i would never deny the history/legacy of racism in this country.

Yea. How come when a white person kills another white person or when a black person kills another black person, two scenarios that happen WAY more often then opposite races, no one ever says it’s race based? We always seem to find another reason for the murder, as blaming it on race is no longer believable, but if the two people don’t have matching skin, then it’s about race almost every time. As if the all the other reasons which make up the largest majority of murders, which typically occur within the same races, just cease to exist if the people involved don’t have matching skin. That’s why “hate crime” is so catchy. There’s no denying that. It’s murder, it’s always a hate crime, that’s what murder is, hatred made manifest. Or course it’s a hate crime. Pick your reason; skin, sex, family, ego, greed, corruption, all causing hatred leading to murder. I guess they’re afraid we’ll realize that the environment they’ve structured for us/we’ve built together, somehow causes people to experience and harbor more hate than at any time in American history. Racism was at an all time low up until a few years ago, but hatred has always been on the incline.

3/4 of African Americans would agree with Mellencamp , so unless you think people are all delusional, then we still have some problems. Another way to look at it is , we had 250 years of outright slavery, where women were prodigiously raped, sometimes with a spouse knowing & not being able to do anything about it. families torn apart on a whim, torture & humiliation was always on the menu. These humans in bondage were freed in 1865......to absolutely nothing. We were supposed to be given acres of land , but after Lincoln died , it was reneged on . Some slave OWNERS got reparations, while the people that actually worked for free got zip. If that wasn't bad enough , instead of just letting black people try to make something out of nothing, we then devolved into another century of Jim Crow laws, rigged share cropping, no vote , no protection under the law, the most macabre & mideviel style lynching. When black folks did manage to get thriving towns & communities going , white mobs would come in & burn them down , usually with a massacre of hundreds along with it. This fun didn't even begin to end until the mid 1960's, where African Americans have had tentative inclusion. So we have over 350 years of really horrible atrocities.....vs a mere 58 of stutter step inclusion. & you think our racial problems have been wrapped up in 58 years ? Doesn't work like that , especially in a country where many are so uncomfortable talking about race. If you're white , how do you know how much African Americans still deal with racism ? When you have the vast majority of black people in this country saying they still are reminded that they're black almost everyday in one way or another. How we honestly get it behind us , is to address the very obvious problems tthat have been caused by this history. Many folks in this country have problems discussing this history & how it still contributes to where we're at .

He is not he is a grumpy old white man who is rich now, he has become what he always hated

He's a musician not a rocket scientist or philosophy professor.

Why is he not wearing his infamous Jiffy Lube outfit?

I never thought ANYONE would make Maher sound sane.

That's exactly what I was thinking, I read these comments knowing this was already stated.

😂 omg two more card players ENOUGH ALREADY haven't we been through ENOUGH

What is a Mellencamp?

Yea, i don’t trust the government either but we have to give them some benefit of the doubt, if we don’t, we are heading down a dark dark path

Wow. Didn't know Mellencamp's mind was this far gone. The far right and far left are beyond lost.

This is who John was his whole life, read a bit

8:11 Bill nails himself lol

Do any of you have a clue who John is? Seriously did you not listen to his music? He has always been super liberal, from day one. I absolutely love this man

You would think Bill could afford ice tongs instead of grabbing ice like an orangutan.

Lol

born and bred a conservative form a rural town and never changed

So, the guy wouldn't have run him down in (presumably drunken) anger if he'd been white? That's a lot of mind-reading by Mellencamp.

The FBI doesn't make things up?? 🤔 Oh, Bill... {tsk tsk}

The FBI was also busy watching out that the Holland Tunnel didn't get bombed by muslim terrorists. Think about it, John.

Here is something that I can see both sides of the debate. Do I think the gov reports a proper unemployment rate. No. To many people are put into categories that are left out. Self employed contractors were left out of the figures during the housing market crumble. Some figures are fairly close to correct except the figures that can make a high gov official look bad.

Let me help Mr. Mellencamp. 99% of black folks are better off than they were 200 years ago. There’s just no comparison. Maybe Mellencamp needs to start drinking again; seems on edge.

John Mellencamp can’t grasp baseline reality

Loaded 😂

I'm sure most KKKmericans say the n-word behind closed doors anyways, but it's a shame they're too cowardly to admit it.

Who are the basketball Americans are they like the baseball and hockey Americans? Sports loving people ohh I get it now never 😅mind

Mellencamp sounds a little bit of a drunk ranter, going off emotion and who couldn't care less about numbers or facts and even barely recognizes any objective reality.

I fully agree with Morgan Freeman's take on racism.. in ANYTHING.. Stop bringing it up. Stop keeping it in the forefront, let us all move ahead...

Geez what’s in those cigarettes

When bill maher is trying to dial you back in…..I mean I don’t even know what to say

bill... use tongs for he ice bowl...geeez man!

one second he is saying... "hey that was 20 years ago" ... then he is trying to compare picking cotton... typical fool

Mellancamps a loon, doesn’t understand progress 😂

He’s pretty clueless for sure

That’s Foster Brooks not Mellancamp. Johnny passed from a cancerous ego years ago.

It's so hard to gauge how racist a country is, especially since some areas are more racist than others.

Politics is crazy. Man, it’s making us all insane people who have lost touch with reality. It’s on both sides. All we can do is learn to meditate and leave the talking heads to their own devices. That being said, great show bill interesting chats

How can a man worth millions hate his country
