Bryan Cranston challenges Bill Maher on whether “Make America Great Again” carries a racial meaning, and asks if Maher believes in white privilege. Maher says he prefers the word “advantage” and admits being white may have helped him professionally. “There was a black comedian and they gave it to... me instead because they thought I would do better being a white comedian.” Cranston says the point isn’t to blame Maher personally, but to acknowledge that those advantages exist. “It’s just recognizing that it exists.” Maher agrees that racial inequality has existed, but argues America has changed significantly. “Where we are is not where we were.” His bigger frustration is with people who, in his view, exaggerate how bad things are. “I just want the reality. I just want the truth.”show more

Cranston is a moron. Pandering to the wokeness. He does it for the money. They are actors.

Bryan Cranston made the greatest show in the history of television. He’s also a complete and utter Hollywood dickwad.

Advantage is literally what privilege means in this context

The word ‘advantage’ makes more sense because privilege sounds like you didn’t work for anything

White privilege doesn’t mean your life was easy

but Bryan isn’t accusing him personally, he’s asking him to acknowledge the system.

His life is great. He speaks for no one. Fuck all these people. Why do we listen to them

Cranston is an idiot by suggesting America was never great. It’s great relative to all that gone before it — freedoms, rights, privileges, wealth, knowledge, innovation, industry, culture. This guy doesn’t know how good people in America have it. He should try to other countries and try to get criticize the governments there. Wonder how long he’d still be alive in Russia, China, Iran? An arrogant entitled rich prick!

Cranston thinks he is an intellectual. He is very wrong.

If America sucks so bad, why do people flock here by the millions? These assholes got rich under the system they’re bashing.

Yes make America great again is for everyone. And yes for blacks also. Like when they were one of the most successful demographics until the white liberals decided they were becoming too successful. Klan 2.0. He saw it.

Bill Maher getting offended because he’s aligning himself with bigotry and playing “devils advocate” to racism and being called out on it is peak “white straight man” arrogance and behaviour.

Cranston should have stepped aside from Breaking Bad and let a black actor take the role if he is THAT committed....of course he isn't though is he....talk is cheap, moral fibre is hard.

When was Africa better for Blacks then the USA. When was India better for Indians than the USA, When was Ireland better for the Irish, than in the USA! This is so stupid! The USA offers better overall opportunity for everyone from every country of any ethnicity EVER! That is why so many people want to be here! F these smug stupid bastards!

I really hate this "when was America great?" mindset as if racial equality is the ONLY metric by wich you can measure a counties greatness. "when was America great?" When we rejected the concept of monarchy and instituted a system of self governance. When we rejected the concept of slavery and abolished the practice. When we encouraged ingenuity and science and harnessed the electron to light up the world. When we put the first man in a powered flight thru the sky When we saved Europe from the Germans twice When we invented a portable star to swiftly end a war. When we put men on the surface of the moon. This list could go on and on and on. "make America great again" is not a 'dog whistle' for racists wanting to go back to a time when things were worse for black people. It has absolutely nothing to do with race. "make America great again" is a rebuttal to the early 21st century mindset that America needs to apologize to the world for any and all bad things it may have done. It's an answer to the idea that the economic hardships can't be overcome without instituting heavy socialist policies. "make America great again" simply means America has historically been the greatest country on earth, leading the world in science, ingenuity, the frontier spirit and economic prosperity, and it can and will be again.

I believe that together we can make America great again.” Bill Clinton saying it: C-SPAN clip (from his October 3, 1991 presidential candidacy announcement speech in Little Rock, Arkansas): BILL CLINTON SAID IT 1991. Was it ok when a democrat said it?

Bill Maher speculating that black comedians lost their chance at fame & fortune in the 1980’s because he got gigs instead of them, is an IDIOTIC rewrite of history. Did he miss Eddie Murphy’s “Beverley Hills Cop”, “Trading Places”, or “Coming to America”, or his wildly popular stand-up routines? Or other hugely successful 1980s comedians like Richard Prior or Arsenio Hall? But according to these pathetic victims of TDS, those guys still had to ride at the back of the bus in the 1980s. It a dirty lie, designed to ignore the reality that talented African-Americans were not held back by white people. The immutable truth is that if your racial cohort is just ~13% of the US population, it’s likely there will be less famous comedians to come from that statistical minority compared to a cohort representing ~60% of the population; white people. Demographics don’t care about your race paranoia. Cranston is a raving neo-Marxist lunatic, who sees racism everywhere. It’s simple, MAGA Americans just want to go back to a place when their nation didn’t owe nearly $40 TRILLION & all the benefits, for all Americans, that came from that. But the DSA-infected Democrats are incapable of addressing that elephant in the room.

"Sweetheart"? 🙄 God, he's so obnoxious!

I was called white privileged and I worked 35 yrs, missed 3 days of work, grew up in housing projects, Dad was disabled and mom was the bread winner of a 7 person household at 13 thousand a year. Most white people aren’t white privileged, they just worked their ass off. Idiot!

Brian Cranston is a woke radical far left Marxist queer... GOOD FUCKIN RIDDANCE!! 😡 🤬 👎

@grok what nation has been better for Black people than America?

Uh oh.

Retards like Bryan here can’t comprehend that America was great when a mailman could work his one route and afford to provide for, house, feed, and go on yearly vacations with a family of 4. Always these racist like Bryan trying to paint others with their paint. @BryanCranston

This whole thing is meant to pit people against each other. Even with acceptance of racial inequality, you're still teaching people to identify based on race, therefore creating a simple biological 2nd order effect where primal instincts kick in. The primal instinct just says I belong to this group/tribe, now I need to protect that group or tribe. The answer to this isn't to figure out a common ground between 2 sides. It's simply to start ignoring this stuff and acting like it's ludicrous (because it is) or to call it out for what it is. RACISM.

If Bryan doesn’t think that America has ever been great then he should leave. But he makes money in America so he will stay and just continue to be a whiny little bitch.

Bryan Cranston is an idiot, who knows nothing about the real world. If make America Great Again was used by democrats he would be defending that statement. I hate people like him who hasn’t struggled to pay their bills. Plus he keeps talking about disadvantages of blacks. Both white and blacks have disadvantages. It was the white people that played a huge roll in electing a black man twice, but it was that black man that did nothing for black people. He did help terrorist Muslims by giving them billions. Money used to hurt people all over the world. Bryan, get in your limousine, with your armed security and drive back to your home with walls. Please shut up.

Cranston is full of shit. He’s reading into something that doesn’t exist

I agree with both of them here. Bryan says it still exists. I agree. Bill claims its eased up. I agree with that also. But it needs to not exist, not just 'ease up'

Ft. @billmaher | @BryanCranston

@billmaher is such an insufferable prick and he’s so far up Trumps colon he’s sharing a bunk bed with Mike Johnson. Thank god for Bryan Cranston being there to clock his ass.

By every measure, life is better for humans. More food, water, wealth, indoor plumbing, creature comforts of every type, a computer in every one’s back pocket. We all work shorter hours than our parents and certainly our grandparents. A tell is that we have to invent shit to be upset about. This is an example of that.

Maher admitting that advantage probably helped him is pretty telling

2 inconsequential JERK-OFFS

Yeah, I'm not gonna let some rich, arrogant asshole sit there and lecture me on "privilege". All that shit is to keep everyone arguing over racial lines instead of focusing on these elitist fucks who keep consolidating wealth and power by distracting everyone else.

Brian Cranston is a douche bag. Nobody cares what he has to say just another Hollywood jerk off.

This stupidity form libtard boomers is simply exhausting. Boomers had privilege, they destroyed the nations like spoiled children and left the country worse off for subsequent generations of Americans. It’s time for boomers to retire from public affairs and retire already. They have done enough damage.
