Ice Cube appeared on Bill Maher's HBO show on Friday (June 9), where he addressed Maher for referring to himself as a "house n****r" in a previous episode. The veteran rapper got serious with Maher when he asked him, "What made you think it was ok to say that?"

Cube went on to say that it's very hurtful to him anytime a white person says the n-word, even if he says they didn't mean it. He explained, “It’s like a knife, man. When I hear my homies say it, it don’t feel like venom. When I hear a white person say it, it’s like a knife.” Cube then added, “That’s our word now, and you can’t have it back.”

Check out an excerpt from the show above.

It feels like a knife? What a deranged liar.
If it’s such a bad word don’t say it yourself and stop giving your friends a pass for saying it too.

“It’s like a knife, man. When I hear my homies say it, it don’t feel like venom. When I hear a white person say it, it’s like a knife.” Cube then added, “That’s our word now, and you can’t have it back.”

Tough titties little kitties. You don't get to make that call.

Abe didn’t find this easy. Neither did Booth. But a population of freedmen who didn’t want to repatriate to ancestral lands didn’t make sense to treat any other way. Created equal. It is the old bad resentful rednecks (may they serve as warnings) who spoiled the porridge.

[HiTech RedNeck]

This needs spiritual power to transcend.

[mrmeyer]

That would be because they’re raised by single mothers.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Part true. A phony masculinity crafted of meanness.

[TigersEye]

Both of these morons are keeping racism alive.

[Da Coyote]

Ice Cube and Maher in the same place at the same time.

A virtual IQ gravitational singularity sucking smarts from all those unfortunate enough to be nearby.

And those who not as scientifically illiterate as Maher and the Cube will understand why I used the above term.

[zipper]

Will Ice Cube please give us whiteys a list of what words his race “owns” now?

Because I need to mark those out in my dictionary, lest I forget and offend some pampered race-baiter.

[Paradox]

That statement shows use his greatness, that even though he felt the Negroes were not the equal of Whites, they nevertheless had certain rights that should not be abrogated.

[JimRed]

I seldom use it, but when the BEHAVIOR and ATTITUDE of the individual indicate it to be appropriate...

[onedoug]

What a load of niggard crap!

[WatchungEagle]

Ice Cube made numerous “racist” remarks about whites, Asians and Jews when he was last relevant. He also used the n word about a million times and called women “bitches” and “hoes” constantly. He responded to any critics with “#*@% you if you don’t like what I say.”

So this is a pot calling the kettle black situation.

[Captainpaintball]

Very good. I have been looking for this.

[IronJack]

When I hear my homies say it, it don’t feel like venom. When I hear a white person say it, it’s like a knife.” ... “That’s our word now, and you can’t have it back.”

A more explicitly racist statement could not be made.

[montag813]

Funny how I have worked in offices with both majority Jews and majority Latinos and neither called each other “kike” or “spic.” EVER. This has to be the only word on Earth that only one race is permitted to say.

[jmacusa]

Blacks take offense at a whites originated and then take offense when whites use it and yet have no qualms about referring to each other with the same word. Can someone explain this to me?

[jmacusa]

Yup. Blacks men refer to each other as ‘’my boys’. They don't live in a ‘’house’’, they live in a ‘’crib’’. They don't have a wife or mother instead they have a ‘’mama’’.

[Secret Agent Man]

Stop saying cracker and white boy, then.

And stop using all the stuff white people have invented and created. I can give up peanut butter no problem.

[Secret Agent Man]

Way more emotional, much less logical, more unstable and prone to violent outbursts.

I have to agree.
