Whoopi Goldberg Suspended from ABC’s ‘The View’ over Holocaust Comments
Breitbart ^ | Feburary 1, 2022 | Paul Bois

Posted on 02/01/2022 9:23:37 PM PST by Morgana

Whoopi Goldberg has been suspended from ABC following her controversial comments about the Holocaust in which she said the extermination of six million Jews was not about race.

“Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her wrong and hurtful comments,” ABC News president Kim Godwin said in a statement.

“While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments,” Godwin added. “The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family and communities.”

I thought Jews were a religion not a race, maybe I was wrong.
The point is that Hitler and the Nazis viewed the Jews as a racial group.

Any nation that tracks the racial background of its citizens is planning an eventual genocide.

1 - the government demanded that cutizens register their race on birth certificates.
2 - once they had all the information the government started creating laws targeting unfavored groups for punishment.
3 - The government rounds up citizens by their volunteered racial classifications and murders them.
Our governments and politicians are planning on liquidating certain groups but I am not sure which one it is. We need to stop this communist evil now or we are all going to get the "Stalin treatment."

She had a partial point in that the holocaust was a mass extermination of various groups probably primarily the Jews but also various Christians, homosexuals, Slavs and random dissenters. It can also be argued without real offence that the Nazi program including the use of slave labor and the bombing of cities extended their holocaust into other areas.

While the hatred of Jews was historic in its origins and primarily driven by economic, social and religious themes, it also became a question of the role of Jews in creating Soviet communism. Once Hitler went fully anti-communist in the 1930s, there was now one more reason for rounding up Jews. This is not something I imagined in my leisure, I recently saw a very revealing program with eye-witness accounts about the reign of terror the Nazis unleashed in the 1930s long before there were camps, and the underlying theme of this was cultured Jewish and non-Jewish liberal Germans detailing how the Nazis took over the press, universities, schools, and leaned hard on private businesses.

The meme was created and widely circulated that Jews were the primary cause of Germany’s humiliating terms of surrender at Versailles, and were in the forefront of German communism which sought to overthrow the Weimar government and align with the Soviet Union.

But also there was a nationalist element in which the patriotism of Jews was suspect after Versailles.

Memories of all this run deep among Jews and liberals in general. They seek to keep people in the dark by maintaining the fiction that the holocaust was all about killing Jews and nobody else, and that nothing compares to it. Of course two things do compare to it (at least), the Gulag and Mao’s cultural revolution, as well as the current behavior of the government of the PRC. Numerous other things compare on a smaller scale.

If Jews imagine they are the only people who were ever hated and persecuted for what they are and what they believe, they are very poorly informed. I would say uneducated but the concept of an uneducated Jew seems like an oxymoron.

Look was Leninist Jews did in the Ukrainian massacre a decade later.

Jews are just as capable of mass extermination as every other human being. The Japanese were genocidal towards the Chinese and white prisoners of war.

People are evil by nature and in need of a savior.

Whoopi thinks white/black so blacks want to be the ONLY group capable of being victims. In the perverse world we live in being victim = power.

Blacks don’t want anyone else playing victim. That’s her point but she’s running afoul o the group that controls ABC NBC CBC CNN NYT etc etc...

That’s her opening punishment.

She went on Colbert and doubled / tripled down!

Unless she ‘gets with the program’ they will shove her out. She’s old and has health issues, need to spend time with family, etc. etc.

They’ll buy her off and push her out the door. They can’t have her on national TV saying Jews aren’t a race and aren’t oppressed. That won’t happen.

Yeah. Whoopi says it’s a white-on-white issue. I wonder why there weren’t any black Nazis.

This is not said much that I have seen anywhere but it is tied to this all.

When I was young, early 20a and moved to Queens, NY I had a friend who was in his retirement years. He was an active retiree, playing tennis everyday and was actually pretty well off, lived in Forest Hills. Had been in the service in WWII and in Germany prior to the war.

He told me that Hitler was incensed because the Jews were kind of ‘taking over’ Germany, with the businesses, clubs, markets, and a lot of unsaavory culture it was. He didn’t like the culture they were creating, he wanted a wholesome family type culture. He wanted Germany to be for the Germans, and that is what led to it.

I am surprised I haven’t seen this other places because if you look at 1930s Germany it was pretty decedent.

[[They seek to keep people in the dark by maintaining the fiction that the holocaust was all about killing Jews and nobody else,]]

No they don’t- Jews I’ve heard speak of it talk about many folks being exterminated, not just the jews-

[[If Jews imagine they are the only people who were ever hated and persecuted for what they are and what they believe, they are very poorly informed.]]

It seems you are poorly informed- Jews recognize that many ethnicities have been persecuted for what they are or believe- You seem to think that because they talk mostly about themselves that they don’t recognize that other people have had ot suffer- that is just false- The jews were the primary target and they have a right to be upset about that fact- but the truth is that they also recognize that other people were also sought out and killed- even if it isn’t what they primarily discuss when talking about the holocaust- They do discuss it, just not as much-
