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

Whoopi Suspended: She Expressed her View on the View

Post by Big Daikon »

Not sure what to think of this one. Pretty wacky.

Whoopi Goldberg was suspended from ABC's "The View" talk show on Tuesday for asserting a day earlier that the Holocaust was "not about race," the network's news division president said, addressing a furor over the comments.
"This is white people doing it to white people, so y’all going to fight amongst yourselves," Goldberg said at one point.

Whoopi is so dumb and racist that she thinks the world is made up of only two groups, Blacks and Racists.
The fatter and uglier she gets, the more bitter and twisted she is.

I hope the comments about the cancellor in chief were in jest. Whoopi Goldberg is her stage name. Her first choice was Whoopi Cushion!
Must be hard when the culture you built comes for you though. There are numerous instances of people being fired for far less.

Cultural misappropriation. Racist!

This could explain things. To a black woman like Whoopi, Germans and European Jews would look like two groups of white people.

She actually believed that the Holocaust was “just White on White violence”

That's exactly what she said on the show. Racist and reductionist.

'When co-host Ana Navarro said the genocide was "about white supremacy ... and going after Jews and gypsies and Roma," Goldberg responded that it was "two white groups of people." '

Well strictly speaking that’s correct. As an example of “racism” Asians see us (European, North and South Americans, Southern Hemisphere population- SA, Australia, NZ, Russians) as all white barang.
When they see African Americans it confuses them a bit.

I think her words should have been spoken a little differently (or not at all) and that’s a bad and touchy comparison.

It’s ok. Hollywood has a short memory. Look at Mel Gibson as an example.
