One more on Whoopi.... why not?!

Goldberg’s comments confirm how historically illiterate and morally vacuous wokeness has become.
Whoopi Goldberg’s claim that the Holocaust was not about race has got to be the dumbest thing said on a TV show since Whoopi Goldberg said Roman Polanski’s rape of Samantha Geimer was not ‘rape-rape’. Though of course Goldberg’s inflammatory comments about the Nazis’ extermination of European Jews, made on her show The View yesterday, are far worse. They confirm just how thoroughly the woke politics of ‘intersectionalism’ and the feverish obsession with ‘whiteness’ have distorted people’s understanding of racial hatred and of anti-Semitism in particular. They confirm that the end result of the contemporary bourgeois fixation on ‘white privilege’ and ‘black victimhood’ is that more and more people are historically illiterate, morally vacuous and racially insensitive.
It was the confidence with which Goldberg engaged in her Holocaust revisionism that was the most disturbing thing. It was during a discussion of a Tennessee school board’s mad decision to ban Art Spiegelman’s classic graphic novel, Maus: A Survivor’s Tale, in which Jewish people are depicted as mice and the Nazis as cats. To her stunned-looking fellow panellists, Goldberg said ‘the Holocaust isn’t about race. No, it’s not about race.’ With clueless bravado, she continued: ‘It’s not about race. It’s not. It’s about man’s inhumanity to other [men]… These are two white groups of people.’ The others did their best to counter her historical ignorance. Nazism was ‘about white supremacy’, said co-host Ana Navarro. The Nazis ‘didn’t see [Jews] as white’, said Sara Haines. It was to little avail. ‘You’re missing the point!’, Goldberg barked, before the show’s theme music started playing and, no doubt to the sweet relief of The View’s producers, an ad break interrupted Goldberg’s shocking act of racial denialism.

One more on Whoopi.... why not?!
That’s about the basis of the argument.
For the same reason wokesters ignore black-on-black crime. They are addicted to a racial narrative.
If she were 25% as smart as she thinks she is...
Whoopie has gotten the boot , for 2 weeks
Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors... even by children. 🙁Carano was making the point that persecution of a race begins by dehumanizing them in the eyes of their neighbors, just like cancel culture is eliminating conservatives from participation in society today. Whoopie Goldberg's comments were outright Holocaust denial.Because history is edited, most people today don't realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?
Yet Goldberg gets to return to ABC/Disney in two weeks, and Carano is still fired.

Love when they say what they intended which is their truth. This is what they really believe. The message made it out there and the back lash is unimportant and the follow up report will be a page 6 story.
Caryn Johnson takes a Jewish stage name even though she’s anti-Semetic.
Caryn Elaine Johnson (Whoopi)is a leftist. Gina Carano is not.
