I believe we have to start defining terms more accurately. Are Jews a race? Or are they an ethnic group? Or a religious grouping? It used to be that we recognized 3 “races”, but now the term is being used more loosely. I do believe that some Nazis regarded Jews as sub-human, which would qualify as racism if it was understood that Jews did not belong to the human race. But that would certainly be a new way to define racism. I don’t think it is useful to try and catalogue every instance of inhumanity as “racist”. It does a disservice to those genuinely victimized by racism.

I will say though, why can’t folks on our side ever double-down like Whoopi does.

She is protected by the Democrat establishment. She can say ANTHING and get away with it.

Maybe it’s time for this woman to acknowledge her cultural misappropriation of her current last name — Goldberg — and revert to her birth name:

Caryn Elaine Johnson

Thanks-I sensed that I was missing something.
I was successfully brainwashed into assuming hispanic was a race.

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-Israel and Jacob-Israel’s 12 sons... constitute the beginnings of the lineage.

Matthew lays out the lineage. Sometimes referred to as the “12 tribes of Israel.”

“Tribes” would probably be the suitable terminology. The genome project didn’t mention any particular race or ethnicity.

Mainly when a Hispanic commits a crime, he is white.
When he does something good, even if white, he’s Hispanic.

One thing for certain. If she gets fired the intellectual level of the show will not decline, but the volume of the show will dramatically decline.

I presume Whoopi Goldberg will admit that Nazis persecuted Jews and attempted to exterminate them in what is now called the “Holocaust”.

Questions for Whoopi: What was the Nazi’s motive for doing that?

Theology is out, since they murdered people who were not practicing Jews, but had even one Jewish parent or grandparent. Obsessed with their own racial purity and genetics is a defining aspect of Nazism. The “Nation” in National Socialism is the “Aryan” German “volk”. Everyone else in the German “living space” was a racial outsider; Jews who had lived in Germany for generations, served in the German military and givernment, etc., found themselves defined as non-Germans by the Nazis. Racism, and defining groups by race so they can be excluded, or used, or exterminated as a race, is a core principle of Nazism.

Whatever network allows Whoopi to spread her ignorance should be ashamed.

Not really.

Some people in the US saw three races (Caucasian, Mongoloid and Negroid) for a short period of time, but if you asked them what race the American Indian, the Indian Indian or Australian Aborigine or South Pacific Native was they started to squirm a bit.

Most of the old world was far more practical when it came to race, if they were not of your tribe they were of another race. So the Han saw the Yao as a different race, the English saw the Scots as a different race, the French saw the Basque as a different race, the Bantu saw the Twa as a different race, the Bengali saw the Tamil as a different race and so on.

Jews are a race, (a group of people related by blood who have distinct DNA markers) but also a religion. Which is where there is some confusion.

Didn't she get suspended the first time she said it? Didn't she learn anything?

The term 'suspension' is relative, since, suspension for a celebrity is equivalent to a paid vacation. Anybody check to see if she got unpaid suspension? Thought so.

She is a liberal black woman, therefore an expert in all things race related. Anything she says will be treated as the truth and correct by the press.
This in turn will cause anyone disagrees with her will be branded as the fringe right wing nut job spreading disinformation and this should be banished.

In an earlier time, the descendants of Shem were the Semites.
The Indo-Europeans were the Japhetic peoples.
The Hamites were mostly North African.
^^^ Basically 3 subdivisions of the Caucasian race.

Which made it a bit difficult to integrate the Negro and Mongolian races into the mix. Now the capital of Tanzania is Dar Es Salaam - it looks like the Swahili word for peace is similar to the Hebrew and Arabic words, which could make them Semites....Hmm....

American Indians - another race, or a subdivision of one of the others?
Australian Aborigines - I’ve seen them lumped in with Caucasians but they could be separate too.

Legend has it that the Lost Tribe of Israel ended up being the original inhabitants of Ireland.

Thus all the Irish are Jews.

We were tagetted based on Nazi race beliefs. We are not a race in reality, but this doesn't change anything. We are a nation or ethnic group and have the genetic, linguistic, and archeological evidence to back it up.
And Goldberg is just wrong. Blacks were not treated the same way Jews were. Even the PC US Holocaust Memorial Museum admits it. https://www.ushmm.org/collections/bibliography/black-people

I don’t particularly care what Whoopi said, I’m more interested in it from a political perspective. Blacks and Jews both vote heavily Dem, so if they become at odds, it won’t be good for the Dems. Most blacks condemned Kanye when he went in on that Hitler stuff, but they feel both Kyrie and Whoopi were punished for no good reason. If they go after her again, I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns black/Jewish relations sour.

This bloated old sow has rocks in her head. Or maybe she is more like a dog, returning to their own shiiit to sniff it.
