ABC’s “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg has joined fellow “View” co-host Raven-Symoné in rejecting the extremely racist term “African-American”.

“You know what uh uh! This is my country,” Goldberg said. “My mother, my grandmother, my great-grand folks, we busted ass to be here. I’m sorry. I’m an American. I’m not an African-American, I’m not a chick American, I’m an American!”

I understand they've both been criticized for "leaving the plantation" and rejecting the liberals' label for them.

[BenLurkin]

She thinks she is part of the glitterati.

[Fungi]

This woman, who once said “I wish my mom had got an abortion,” does not have a brain, why waste your time?

[sparklite2]

It wasn’t my idea to label them African-American in the first place, back in the mid-eighties. When I am reading, I sub-vocalize African-American as the more convenient two-syllable term, anyway.

[Nailbiter]

Funny for at least 30 yrs I have objected to that term-

I dislike the idea of hyphenated americans

After living in East Germany she is excited to see that America may elect a socialist president. The future looks rosy to her now.

We cant let libtards comtrol the language. They force everyone else to use it and then eat each other when they declare the terms they demanded everyone else use, no longrr acceptable.

We just have to ignore their insanity and speak the wy we want to, like normal people do.

Funny—where was she 30 years ago when the likes of Jesse Jackson were insisting everyone use that label?

[MUDDOG]

She’s Ugly-American.

I’m shocked! I agree with Whoopi.

[Romans Nine]

Don’t worry it won’t last long.

[Talisker]

Whatever, Whoopi.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Well, she’s a jerk. But I kind of enjoyed her in that movie that used “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” as it’s theme. What was that movie?

[M-cubed]

lots of film out there on Whoppi...wonder how many 100s of times shes used that vile word??

Id go with the tried and true "colored persons"...If its good enough for the NAACP its good enough by me...

[MUDDOG]

That was the title of the movie.

That is probably the only half-way smart thing she has said in 30 years or so.

She's still a smelly, loud-mouthed, racist, limousine liberal that's full of...stuff.

But, as someone else said...the label of African-American didn't come from us white folks.

They started that crap themselves.

[Nailbiter]

If I ever knew of this speech - I can not recall- thanks will keep in mind.

[No Dems 2016]

For once, Goldberg says something sensible.
