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?

If Whoopi Goldberg is Jewish, than I’m a flippin’ Martian 👽.
damn, ho be up to 2.5-Oprah’s now
Born in NYC, REAL name is Caryn Elaine Johnson.....don’t sound too Jewish to me.
Also married three times....ALL three marriages were to white guys. Any thoughts on that little detail would be appreciated....or does it mean anything at all?
From Time magazine 2011
Is it cliché for a comedian to take her stage name from a practical-joke device? Not if you’re Whoopi Goldberg. Born Caryn Elaine Johnson in 1955, the actress and The View co-host was less than shy about her bodily functions: “If you get a little gassy, you’ve got to let it go. So people used to say to me, ‘You’re like a whoopee cushion.’ And that’s where the name came from.” Whoopi’s mother thought that a Jewish surname would get her further in Hollywood, so she replaced Johnson with Goldberg. And just like that, a thousand bad puns — and a very successful career — were born.
While Jewish American Princesses are hardly known for being observant, a submission to a Jewish cookbook should NOT include a recipe for fried chicken that includes butter, which would not be kosher. Better to substitute a kosher parve oil like Crisco or something.
Yeah, not exactly in beach shape.
Fart Goldberg
Caryn is still KAREN. Johnson that is.
Unfortunately, reports of her birth in NYC are pretty credible so not much chance for Trump to deport her in 2025.
What can one expect from a Caryn??
Larger than life.
Quote from article on her genealogy:
In the past, Whoopi has often stated that she is Jewish, that her mother was Jewish, or that she has some semblance of Jewish ancestry on her mother’s side, or other variations on the premise. It appears that these statements were not correct; Goldberg is a stage name that Whoopi selected. She has no verified/documented Jewish ancestry, nor does it appear that she has converted to Judaism.

IIRC - Wasn’t the whoop an avowed practicing buddhist when she was on ST-NG?
Well, there’s Black Irish, so.....
Ugly, vile and disgusting woman lacking in moral, ethics or honesty. Horrible excuse for a human being.
JMHO.
She chose,the name to capitalize on the Jewish propensity for employment and career advancement, just like,Elizabeth wqrren falsely claimed she was Indian in order to defraud Americans
Now, had Republicans done this, there would,be no end to,the screaming from the left about appropriating other’s cultures In order to defraud
well, beach BALL maybe
