Who ever argued that celebrity increases intelligence quotient?

​@@HansDelbruck53Lol,..Its not "said". Often, people indirectly deem celebrities intelligent by placing a very high value on what they think about political and social-political topics. But you knew that.

It’s not necessarily a matter of intelligence but more about how out of touch these celebrities are with the majority of people in this country. The majority being, average citizens that live and die anonymously for generations. These celebrities (especially one like him who sings about common people) live in a fantasy of what regular life actually is.

lol you believe the government, Bill the jew

Maybe don't let the same lips that touched a historical crystal flute for the first time in 200 years be the same lips that were used to eat a Banana out of a Strippers Pussy in the Netherlands?

He's that "I have a lot of black friends" liberal

As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. Biden the traitor already signed away our (#-s)overeignty to the WHO and the UN, and not a peep from the propaganda machine.

I don't think he went anywhere. he was always socially conservative, we just didn't have youtube back then

​@@leahm2532 you think Mellencamp is socially conservative?

Wet brain.

@@jras8652lol 99% sure that person doesn’t kno what socially conservative means

you can't point to another country where black people as a community are doing better than in the USA. that is a fact. but if most of the black community is going to engage in vulgar, immoral and criminal activity that will hinder their success BY CHOICE then that's not racism. That's just bad culture, poor upbringing and liberal white ideology manifesting itself as welfare, reparations and affirmative action.

I've heard it said there's more black millionaires in the USA than any other country.

Sitting with their hand out. Still

@@choossuck7653 "SNAP recipients represent different races and/or ethnicities. White: about 37 percent; African American: 26 percent; Hispanic: 16 percent; Asian: 3 percent; and Native American: about 2 percent." Like Bill said, there are statistics. you can believe them or not, but truth is the truth.

Your last question is the problem. You think you know what the community has been doing because you just pay attention to garbage in the news, while I'm assuming, calling the news fake unless it says you want to be truth.

Yeah hispanics and africans never check "white" on forms and applications ever...lmao @@kracusomniax3933

Melllencamp is dumb af

He seems disconnected and like a bigot.

He’s seems something 😂

@@leyjam3788he seems gangsta and tellin facts

Probably better off that way.

He doesn't drink braineaic.

Only when Bill talks about COVID where he knows EVERYTHING. Clarence Thomas outlawed RACISM...😮

You’re not paying attention

Its the I know one black person spiel.

No, I knew that he was very left wing for a while now.

Yeah I actually think it's racist to assume that the assault was because of race. Because if it was 2 whites his sons mind would never think that.

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.

@@all_bets_on_GaneshWhites suffer from Stockholm syndrome of their own guilt of which they have no actual responsibility. It’s crazy…masochistic actually. We busy fighting over who’s the top underclass and ADL & co laughing to all the way to Chase Bank as they finance and promote the bickering.

You CAN’T and DON’T speak for every black person in the US. Your experience is yours, while it’s valid, it is YOURS.

Strong disagreement. When I was living in nyc I never once experienced it, however here in Virginia, I can confidently say that racism is alive and well. The south is riddled with it quite honestly.

How is his heart in the right place when he says absolutely stupid shit and supports the far left? This guy does more harm to blacks than any KKK thug.

I TRUST Bill Maher Emphatically. 😅

You should always trust the government. They're here to help.

​@@brent3086sarcasm.. right?

@@jeanniebilliejean no I'm not sarcastic. I'm just a liberal.

@@elmastro-ye9lw interesting. I didn't realize you had to pick one or the other..... But now that I know I guess I'll go with corporations because they don't have the power to lock me up or kill me.

I thought the same thing. That story in no way sounded like a hate crime.

Couldn’t agree more. Happens between all races every night of the week

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.

More like discrimination based on political ideology you mean. Just go look how the January 6th rioters were punished compared to any of the Antifa/BLM rioters.

John isn't on ANY of that SHIT 😅

For real. I love his music, but yeesh, c'mon dude...

George Floyd 😊

I don’t even see where the story is racist. It sounds like 2 men got into an altercation and one guy killed the other guy… He left out the racist part. Did the guy say “I just want to kill a black person today”? Did the police refuse to arrest the guy because he was white? Where is the racism?

I once saw an interview with a pedophile, and he was smoking cigarettes. Hence, Mellencamp must be a pedo.

he said his son's friend was black and the one that ran his black friend over was "a skinny black kid", Where are you getting two races from? Listen to the vid again...I know something else is alive and well too, bias to the point of not even hearing...

​@@jongarland3671​ so listening to it again, JM gave an example of racism being... his son's black friend getting in an argument with another black guy who then ran him over...

Exactly

I don't find JM engaged in much of a discussion....in quite surprised at his level of .....weird.

😂😂😂😂

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 .

Heather Macdonald? The comedian? I like her.

I'm with John. Bill is a liberally cucked blue pilled simp who is only going to get worse with age.

I feel sorry for you, Bill got all pissed off during the pandemic because his life style was changed, he has become what he always hated. And excuse making old white man

I'm black and I do too.

I rolled my eyes at his comment because it's an extremely broad view of an entire music genre. It's like someone saying they don't like Rock because of demonic imagery and Satan worship...

More like crap music

Well in that case we have PLENTY of reason not to trust them. Look how much they lied about COVID.

@GoWokeyEndUpBrokey nothing as stupid as blacks are no better today than during slavery.

John does not drink and has not since he was 25

He's surrounded by a lot of people who say yes to him

😂😂 No it show what happens when you become an old cranky white man

“Racism” on the daily, as well as “prejudice” and “implicit bias”, these sugar coated terms minimize the black experience in America. Black folks in America cannot be racist because we don’t have any control in this country. The DEFINITION OF RACISM: Racism is the process by which systems and policies, actions and attitudes create inequitable opportunities and outcomes for people based on race.

Leave Biden out of this ...If you don't vote for me you ain't Black ...

@@hushmoney2058 he's right, trump is a white nationalist,

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

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

Agreed. It's always weird hearing comments like this considering there is a lot of Rap that doesnt reference the n-word.

A lot of the ones who use the N-word and explicit language in general is the majority of hip-hop that is popular since at least the 1990’s.

@@RocStarr913 "A lot of the ones who use the N-word and explicit language in general is the majority of hip-hop..." The majority of rappers use the n-word? Thats the kids you hear rapping on the radio or the gangster rap subgenre of the 90s. Thats hardly a "majority" of rappers.

How so?

@@derekcash3608 If the black community is serious about stopping people to say the word they should stop using it themselves and using it to refer to each other in a good or bad term.

@@evan258 " If the black community..." Theres no such thing as the Black community anymore than there is the White community, when it comes to points like this.

@@evan258 "If the black community is serious about stopping people to say the word they should stop using it themselves and using it to refer to each other in a good or bad term." That doesnt answer my question. I asked how is using the word, as a term of endearment, a serious problem?

@@derekcash3608 The word is considered offense and derives from bigotry it should not be used as a term of endearment. I literally answered your question are you not reading what I am saying?

Me too!!! 😆

That said, Bill’s privilege is showing.

People take their own anecdotal experiences and try and project it onto the entire country. People do it with literally everything.

Mellencamp is so amazingly stupid, it's almost hard to believe.

He always has been a voice of reason. He's one of the few who takes on both sides, a rarity in today's polarized climate. He says what he thinks and doesn’t succumb to partisan narratives. I don't have to agree with everything he says, but that's not the point.

@@nickpaz9113 he’s gotten better but only recently. But that’s because so many have gone off the deep end so it not hard to look reasonable when so many are crazy.

@@flyingdutchman8093 You must've been born last week. I've been watching Bill for over 25 years, he's the same as he's always been.

@@nickpaz9113 Bill is not all that reasonable or impartial. His position on guns is ridiculous, he thought Kyle Rittenhouse was guilty, he sucks Bernie off any chance he can, he thinks "socialism" is when you have post office and public library, he suffers from climate change hysteria and above all he has TDS. Even his views on racism are not all that moderate either.

@@flyingdutchman8093 No, his views have hardly changed at all. Name one thing he's changed his mind on, even a little, other than the state of the Democrat Party.

He’s pretty clueless for sure

I would’ve loved to seen a drunken John Mellencamp, taking on the biggest guy he could find to pick a fight with, after smoking, reefer and whiskey. 10 to one says he suffers from whiskey dick Pete syndrome

Bill at least makes an effort to not live in a bubble and he does standup comedy everywhere. So he mixes with real people. Mellancamp comes off as if he sits in his mansion and thinks he’s down with black people because he made a song with Chuck D 20 years ago.

​@@Boobalopbopyou just don't know anything do you?

And it's been worse since covid, he has become what he always hated, a rich privilege white man. Johns views has never changed

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.
