Whoopi Suspended: She Expressed her View on the View

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Strictly speaking the color of the people is immaterial, the holocaust was absolutely “racism” it couldn’t be anything else, considering Hitlers mission was to exterminate the “Jewish race” (his words not mine)
We can debate whether “a race” is the correct term to bracket Jewish people in, but as far as Hitler was concerned they were, and he set about the extermination of that race.
Not just about racism. Don't forget gay men also got sent to the gas chambers.

Whoopi had a brain snap here and just blurted out crap without thinking. Pretty sure she knows better and knew better, but just had a moment.

And that's just the point. Reasonable people understand this and are prepared to move on and debate and educate.
So why should WG get a free pass?
Especially when we can bet our last penny she'll be right back to her old cancel culture ways once this all blows over.

I’m not going to dispute the fact that people other than Jews were targeted, but the reality is that Jews were the main target.
Whoopi knew exactly what she was thinking when she said what she said, and meant it.
It’s clear to anyone with a brain that her pseudo apology was insincere “people misunderstood what she meant” ffs. I’d bet good money that the apology was not her idea, rather damage limitation insisted upon by her bosses/handlers.

Perhaps some of "Them" are members here
Perhaps you can ID "them" down the pub ? Since they are a race it should be easy

Whoopi has fully embraced the whole CRT and her comments about the holocaust actually fit with the recent change (yes, i know they changed it back again after the WG incident) in definition of "racism" on the ADL website.
Basically, ADL went full on CRT and changed the definition to mean only blacks can be the victims of racism. So, with this in mind, WG, believed she was correct in her views that because the jews were white it wasn't racism.

As to her being "cancelled". She has been at the forefront of every baying mob going when lesser mortals dared to express an opinion that didn't sit well with her. She will be back on air soon and you can bet the next "wrong-thought" opinion she hears she will be right back calling for someone's career to be terminated etc etc. So, I hope she gets her knickers all bunched up and truly spits that big fat dummy out as far as she can and stomps away in a huff like the child she is.

Also, anyone notice the ADL has gotten rather brazen recently? An NGO making demands that people be punished/fired. WTF is that?
