On "Real Time with Bill Maher" Friday on HBO, host Bill Maher casually slipped the N-word into conversation with Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse. The backlash was immediate and many people have taken to Twitter and Facebook to discuss their negative feelings. HBO issued a statement Saturday morning writing, ? Bill Maher?s comment last night was completely inexcusable and tasteless. We are removing his deeply offensive comment from any subsequent airings of the show.? However, backlash has continued.
