Whoopi Goldberg (born Caryn Johnson and most decidedly not Jewish), de-Judaized the Holocaust, a strikingly antisemitic act. After a deserved uproar, she apologized but that’s not good enough. Just as Sharon Osborne and Roseanne Barr got fired for offending racial shibboleths, Goldberg needs to go.
Goldberg a staple on The View, a show in which several inane left-wing women loudly opine about the issues of the day, dismissed the Holocaust as a uniquely Jewish event and, essentially said that a lot of people died during World War II, so the Jews shouldn’t make it all about themselves. And by saying it was a White-on-White crime, she obliquely asserted an argument I’ve heard from Blacks, which is that Blacks suffered slavery for centuries in America, so the Jews shouldn’t make such a big deal about the few years of the Holocaust.
On Monday’s The View, the harridans...er, ladies were talking about the misreported claim that a Tennessee school district censored Art Spiegelman’s overrated Maus, which is essentially a comic book about the Holocaust (and yes, I have read it and I came away feeling that it was a barely acceptable allegory). In fact, the school approves of teaching about the Holocaust. It simply believed that the book was so graphic that it was age-inappropriate for middle-schoolers. The false narrative served its purpose, though, by calling red-staters antisemites.
Whoopi’s antisemitism, though, was open and obvious. She said explicitly that the Holocaust wasn’t about race saying, instead, “This is White people doing it to White people” and “It’s not about race.... It’s about man’s inhumanity to man.... These are two groups of White people....”

In short she makes no distinction between Nazis and Jews.
Oh Oh. Misinformation. Cancel her and someone tell Neil, Joni and Harry/Meghan.
The only thing interesting that was ever interesting about this dimwit loudmouth was the two second double-take at the fake lastname she took.
Bkmk
The headline should read:
Whoopi Goldberg REAFFIRMS herself as an antisemitic ignoramus.
Pretty obvious that in her simple little mind, skin color is the only indicator of race.
Whoopie is playing victim Olympics. Blacks have suffered more through history than Jews. She’s obsessive about keeping blacks at the top of the intersectional totem poll.
Yeah, those millions of blacks gassed to death by Hitler. That was tragic.
This is a common psychological flaw and many people seem to fall into it.
One of the great quotes from history is from Niemoller: "First they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew ..."
If blacks want only slavery to remembered as a great evil, then they must diminish the holocaust. Is that wise? I attended a talk some years ago given by a Jew who was a Nazi hunter. He had done good work in this area and had helped bring Klaus Barbie to justice. At the end of his talk, people asked questions. Someone asked about Nazi persecution of homosexuals. The Nazi hunter could not have cared less. Homosexuals? Not his problem. Someone else asked about Gypsies. Gypsies?? Who cares about Gypsies? Someone else mentioned Mao and the millions killed in China. The Nazi hunter shrugged. Nothing could compete with the pure evil of the holocaust and he didn't care about anyone except the Jews.
I thought it was remarkable blindness.
Same with Whoopi. If you want to make a big deal about slavery you also ought to care about the Master Race of Aryans and how they tried to exterminate the sub-human race of Jews. Trying to dismiss that as "all a bunch of white peoples" is showing remarkable blindness.
To many blacks there can be no racism if your skin is white. Whoopi showed that mind set in spades..oops..i guess people arent allowed to use that phrase anymore in woke america.
Was jewish considered a race before Hitler? I dont know but he certainly considered it a race
Where is the outrage when it comes to crpping all of those of European descent who built this country, and fought its wars years for over 70 years and more going back to the Civil War to provide Freedom for everyone?
Eh. To whoopy it was just about killing the white privileged. As you know, white lives don't matter. Nor asians. Nor latinos. Just black lives.
The word “race” is essentially meaningless and was used in many contexts decades ago. There was the German race (Hitler fine-tuned this to the Aryan race of Nordic blondes but in the 1800s, the German race was a more general term). There was also the French race. And the English race. And on and on. The Jews were considered a race. It didn’t mean all that much.
And I think it is worth mentioning that the word “slave” ultimately derives from the Slavic people of Europe who were commonly used as slaves in the Roman empire. Slavery is a very old practice and is really the basic economic foundation of most societies in history. Slavery has nothing to do with skin color and people like Whoopi show a lot of ignorance thinking that black people are some sort of unique victims in history.
I think the show’s producers come up with this stuff for ratings. No bad advertising.
She may have leanings toward Black Liberation Theology, which thinks that the original Hebrews were black, and hates the Jews for assuming that identity.
No. Jews are the most persecuted people and it’s not even close.
I would disagree, perhaps you should visit Oglala lakota county in South Dakota.
Dont go there at midnight
What does Whoops know about White people? She has no Right to talk about White people and should be fired.
If only Blacks were Israelites. It would be a Double - Decker ice cream cone of Sweet Delicious Victimhood.
“Pretty obvious that in her simple little mind, skin color is the only indicator of race.”
I’m thinking the same thing, as well as that she has a limited knowledge of the depth of history which tells too many stories of the disservice, abuse and destruction of the Jewish people.
