Yep. There are special carve-outs for those who consider themselves to be talking down from a righteous pulpit.

Maher is obviously easy-going about talking to people with different shades of skin. If you watch his show, he treats people much the same. Not always kindly, but even-handedly. Unless you are a Republican, but folks are allowed to pick political colours. That's all you need to know.

The word really isn't so important unless it is accompanied by a nasty attitude. If you use it to be horrid, then you shouldn't and you should apologise. Otherwise, it's just a word with different uses. Impolite, of course.

CNN had a young black politician Bakari Sellers on.
He reeled about Maher's use of the n-word, while doing so he said the word 4x or more. I found him offensive.

Maher apologized, I don't think anyone thinks he's a bigot.

Sticks & stones will break my bones.... names will never hurt me, unless I give them that power.

when I was a kid, people used labels like Mick, Kraut, Wop & the n-word. Every ethnic group had a label.

As for Kathy's Trump head, it was in bad taste. That tends to be her shtick.
Its too bad she gave Trump some ammo.
I thought her presser was over the top.
IMO, you can't create the problem & then consider yourself the victim.
She has a strong gay base, I'd imagine they will continue to support her.
