Chance The Rapper Goes In On Bill Maher For N-Word

Bill Maher is all over the news for something he said last night during his HBO show.

It sounds like he may have said "nigga", but, regardless, a white guy using the N-word like that is bound to provoke some strong responses.

One of those comes from Chance The Rapper, who suggests Maher should be taken off the air.

Please @HBO Do Not Air Another Episode Of Real Time With Bill Maher.

Here are some more responses:

But really, @BillMaher has got to go. There are no explanations that make this acceptable. pic.twitter.com/K5XlEjekQ9

Bill Maher didn't use the n-word. The n-word ends in "er." And it's about time we end the double standard of who can, and can't use words.

Bill Maher must be fired immediately for his racism and belittling the struggle of millions of black Americans

What do you think? Did Maher cross a line you can't cross, or does the Twitter outrage brigade need to take a step back?
