We need to stop talking about the things that make Americans different from each other and start honoring the things that make us the same.

    I'm so happy that he talked about the complete and utter ridiculous idea of segregating missing children. Whoever agreed to and signed off on that needs to be fired yesterday.

    You can love your own culture, heritage or ancestry without hating someone else’s!

    "The real issue is class not race" - Thank you Bill!
  • @tomofnorthcal
    Class not race! Been saying this for years as a white guy with black and asian family. We all went from lower middle class to upper middle class by hard work, saving, and education.

    I have a dream that one day people will be treated based on the content of their character and not the color of their skin
  • @markferguson5924
    Segregating ABDUCTED CHILDREN is something no dystopian author would come up with. It's too ridiculous, too pointless, too authentically mad.
  • @peaceness888
    I agree. As a person in a mixed race relationship, we sometimes worry that our future children will be forced to "pick a side" when it comes to identity and racial politics/relations and feel alienated. Why do we need to segregate children? Why does our understanding of race need to be so rigid? Why can't people just be who they are?

    Identity politics keeps a whole lot of folks employed in "leadership" positions!
  • @BigPhatMan
    "Feather Alert" is one of the most racist things I have ever heard.
  • @edubbs3528
    I work in a very diverse school and it's always interesting to see how kids handle topics that deal with race, religion, etc. The reality is...they simply don't care unless they are taught to do so. They care more about accommodating and respecting a friend than they do about judging them.
  • Love it. Every time an application asks my race, I check other and write in human. Been doing this for 30+ years!

    Here i am a Conservative finding common ground with Bill because we are indeed all united in the madness of 2024
  • @iamcomcy
    Bill is at his very best, and relatable, when he is criticizing his own party. Completely on point here.

    My father who was born in Italy use to argue with his nephews that he wasn't Italian, he was an American. They claimed to be Italian Americans and were born in the USA!!!!

  • @Jeremy54321
    probably one of the best new rules of the year. Nicely done Bill.
  • @irishcurse65
    I guess with the Amber alerts, Ebony alerts and Feather alerts we can select which ones we care about? Is that their message.
  • @bangslamwham88
    George Carlin said the exact same thing regarding national/ethnic pride. Those things are all a product of chance and we never had to work for it.
  • @vicarnagra7135
    This is a jewel. It makes me happy. Thank you Bill Maher.
