As you know, Whoopi Goldberg was suspended from "The View" for two weeks for making a remark about the Holocaust. She asserted that the Holocaust was not about race, but rather a simple matter of man's inhumanity to man. She, along with the acerbic lefties on The View, sees herself as more intelligent than everyone in the world:
When Whoopi Goldberg, the intellectual genius and authority on all aspects of the world, said that the Holocaust was not about race, she proved that not only is she a comedian, but a joke too.When the backlash from her remarks erupted, she ran for cover under Stephen Colbert's skirt and sought forgiveness. Well, she didn't exactly ask for forgiveness, but she wanted you to accept her definitions of all things race and Judaism. She wasn't wrong- you misunderstood her.
"It upset a lot of people which was never, ever, ever, ever my intention… I thought we were having a discussion," Goldberg told Stephen Colbert. "I think of race as being something that I can see… "You couldn’t tell who was Jewish. They had to delve deeply to figure it out… My point is, they had to do the work." She also told Colbert, "I don’t want to fake apologize…I’m very upset that people misunderstood what I was saying."Frequently wrong, but never in doubt. You see, things are what they in her eyes and no one else's. But her being offensive did not begin with these remarks. Moreover, she's full of merde. In 1993 she submitted a recipe to a celebrity cookbook for "Jewish American princess fried chicken."
It wasn't received well by the ADL.Whoopi's recipe reads: 'Send chauffeur to your favorite butcher shop for the chicken (save the brown paper bag). Have your cook 1) Melt equal parts oil and butter 3/4 deep in skillet over moderate heat.
'2) Put flour, seasoned with remaining ingredients, into brown paper bag. 3) Rinse chicken parts and place in bag.
'Then you tightly close top of bag (watch your nails) and shake 10 times.
'Hand bag to Cook, go dress for dinner. While you dress, have Cook preheat oven to 350 degrees and brown chicken slowly in skillet. When evenly browned, have Cook place chicken in dish in oven. Have Cook prepare rest of meal while you touch up your makeup.
'In about half an hour, voila! Dinner is served! You must be exhausted.'
Ever wonder where the name Whoopi came from? It derives from her propensity for flatulence on stage.
"So if you get a little gassy, you've got to let it go. So people used to say to me, You are like a whoopee cushion. And that's where the name came from."But Goldberg? Where did that come from? According to her
“Goldberg is my name—it’s part of my family, part of my heritage” she once explained, “just like being black… I just know I am Jewish.” In 1997 she explicitly told Barbara Walters she was part Jewish: “Jewish, Catholic, got Chinese people and white people in my family. I’m a mutt basically. I’m the best of all – of all the things that go into making humans.”Of course, she's the "best of all." But it's not done yet
Confusingly, she has also claimed to be “a quarter Mexican.” When Walters asked her where she’d be had she not changed her name to Whoopi Goldberg, she replied “I would have been a Tupperware lady.” It seems that Caryn Johnson saw value in appearing to be Jewish. There are other versions of the story of Whoopi’s name: one tells of her “Catholic-Jewish” mother suggesting she adopt a stereotypically Jewish name to ensure her future success. Elsewhere she claims her family is “Jewish, Buddhist, Baptist and Catholic” and that she “took the last name for a Jewish ancestor.”Her fables go on
Goldberg has been less open about the origin of her second name. In 1997, Playbill ran a Reuters quote in which Goldberg supposedly said she picked the last name of "a Jewish ancestor" as her stage name, adding that her "family is Jewish, Buddhist, Baptist and Catholic." At the same time, however, Goldberg said she didn't "believe in man-made religions."And the clincher?

Caren Johnson her birth name 😙
Too bad her last name isn't Irish, say Cushing for example.
But it also shows her abject ignorance of Judaic custom because in western society, surnames are patrimonial, meaning you get them from your father, and his father, and so-on. "Hereditary" Judaism, OTOH, is matrimonial, received from the mother. Israel, I should note, will grant you Right of Return if you have Jewish matrimonial lineage, but they don't give a fig about your patrimonial lineage. Having a male ancestor who is Jewish doesn't make you (hereditarily) Jewish.
So Little Miss Alopecia also ist farcockt.
I’m more Jewish than Whoop-dee-doo.
Right last name, I complain about everything, love Chinese and I have been known to go to the movies on Christmas Day.
That, and I can say all the prayers in a Seder...
Law of Return does apply to patrilineal descent, even if they are not Jews by traditional Jewish law. It has caused all kinds of difficulties in Israel, such as concerning marriage.
To be fair, she just thought her remark would pass without notice, like all the rest of the ignorant, uninformed gibberish she spews on a daily basis. Who knew someone would be paying attention?
