Whoopi Goldberg slammed after saying Holocaust ‘not about race’

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg caused chaos on ABC’s “The View” Monday when she insisted that the Holocaust was “not about race.”

While discussing a Tennessee school district’s recent ban of the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel “Maus,” about a Holocaust survivor, Goldberg argued that the genocide was broader than a race-based injustice.

“The Holocaust isn’t about race. No, it’s not about race,” Goldberg, 66, said repeatedly. “It’s about man’s inhumanity to man.”

Other “View” co-hosts were quick to disagree. “Well, it’s about white supremacy. That’s what it’s about,” interrupted political strategist Ana Navarro. “It’s about going after Jews and Gypsies.”

“But these are two groups of white people,” retorted Goldberg. “You’re missing the point. The minute you turn it into race, it goes down this alley. Let’s talk about it for what it is. It’s how people treat each other. It’s a problem. It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white because black, white, Jews, Italians, everybody eats each other.”
In the brief but tumultuous discussion, in which the co-hosts can at points barely be understood over one another, Joy Behar noted that the Nazis considered Jewish people to be “a different race,” the Daily Beast noted.

At another point, Navarro emphasized the importance of teaching children about the Holocaust, noting that it has been evoked by anti-vaxxers to compare Nazis forcing people to wear “Jewish badges” with COVID-19 vaccination mandates requiring people to show their vaccine cards.

“So it is necessary for kids to learn about the Holocaust,” said Navarro.

The discussion ended awkwardly when Goldberg, while everyone else was still speaking, turned to the camera to declare it time for a commercial break.

Goldberg is typically a voice of reason on the panel, offering a well-timed eye roll or strategic non-reaction. However, these offensive remarks garnered swift backlash.

Liora Rez, executive director of watchdog group StopAntisemitism, called Goldberg’s comments “reprehensible.”

“I am the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors on both sides of my family. To say that the Holocaust was not about race when everything the Nazis did was to ensure the purity of the Aryan race is blatantly untrue, and it is reprehensible,” said Rez. “Six million Jews were gassed, starved and massacred because we were deemed an inferior race. For Goldberg to minimize our trauma and suffering by claiming we are from a privileged class is the epitome of whitewashing and gaslighting Jews, and it needs to stop.”

Twitter was quick to call out Goldberg’s remarks as well:

Rabbi Mike Harvey
@RabbiHarvey
Whoopi Goldberg’s comments reinforce how many see Jews and Judaism as simply a concept, a subject of academia or history, not real people with real families and real pasts. We are but a concept or subject of discussion for so many, and that’s it.

Holy hell, I just saw what she said. Completely erasing the fact that the Nazis SPECIFICALLY targeted Jewish people because of their racial theories. So basically Holocaust denial.

Dear Whoopi Goldberg,

If the Holocaust wasn't about race why did the "master race" murder six million European Jews?

Hours later….

Whoopi Goldberg issued an apology for saying that the Holocaust was “not about race” on the show Monday morning.

“The View” co-host attempted to quell the outrage over her remarks by posting a tweet that offered her “sincerest apologies.”

“On Today’s show, I said the Holocaust ‘is not about race, but about man’s inhumanity to man.’ I should have said it is about both,” Goldberg said in a statement Monday night.

“As Jonathan Greenblatt from the Anti-Defamation League shared, ‘The Holocaust was about the Nazi’s systematic annihilation of the Jewish people — who they deemed to be an inferior race.’ I stand corrected.

“The Jewish people around the world have always had my support and that will never waiver. I’m sorry for the hurt I have caused.

“Written with my sincerest apologies, Whoopi Goldberg.”

Also, there's going to be a Sister Act sequel! (Or Threequel, since it's part three.)

If you were around in the '90s, there's not a chance you didn't see some kind of Whoopi Goldberg project. You might know her now as one of the hosts of The View, but 30 years ago Goldberg was starring in major hit movies like The Color Purple, Ghost, and The Lion King, to name a few. When she wasn't winning an Oscar, she was hosting the show. Now, with a little help from the unstoppable Tyler Perry, Goldberg will be reprising one of her most famous film roles for Sister Act 3.
What helped make the original Sister Act such a hit was — in addition to its lively musical numbers and Goldberg's stellar comedic skills — its talented supporting cast.

Variety wrote that Kathy Najimy, who starred as the jolly Sister Mary Patrick, and Mary Wickes, who played the sarcastic Sister Mary Lazarus, gave Sister Act's comedic moments a "major boost," while Maggie Smith's "solid performance" as Mother Superior provided the film with a "requisite warmth." Who could forget Najimy's classic dance scene to Dee Dee Sharp's "Gravy?"

Wickes sadly passed away in 1995. But Najimy, who is also starring in the upcoming Hocus Pocus sequel, told SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show earlier this month that she would be game for joining the sequel because filming the two previous movies was fun and, unlike Hocus Pocus, there's less time in the make-up chair. "You know why I like that? No hair, no make-up, no spanks," she said. "It's a win-win for me."

And as for Smith, the Downton Abbey star has yet to confirm if she will be returning for the third installment. Though, in a 2017 Sister Act reunion on the View, the legendary actress said she had "such fond memories of when we did those crazy, crazy, crazy films."

But Goldberg is no slouch. She told James Corden in October on The Late Late Show that she and the team were "working diligently to try to figure out how to get the gang together and to come back."

She also went on to tell Corden, "bad singing, great singing, OK singing, and then nuns. What's better than that?"

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

I've never seen Sister Act. Is it anything like Nuns on the Run?

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

I don't remember Nuns on the Run that well, but I guess it's a little similar, because they're people dressing up like nuns to hide.

She's a dumbass!

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

I think Goldberg is right in that it was about the human race, but not race as such regarding Jewish people. Jewish is an ethnicity but not technically race. It was more about an extremist white ideology persecuting a white religious ideology.

Race:

White.
Black or African American.
Asian.
American Indian or Alaska Native.
Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander.


Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

That Leftard Asshole is NEVER right! Fuck her! And now she's been suspended for her racist remarks, and that is GOOD news!



😺 Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't. 🤨 Let's go, Brandon! 🤨 Try that in a small town.

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

But she didn't make any racist remarks. I do think that Goldberg is a virtue signalling leftist for the most part, but I like to be objective with comments and I can't dismiss and distort if she says something that is more on point just because she is a libtard.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

She's still a Leftard asshole.

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

Friggin' leftist! You support that someone should be cancelled because people were offended. COMMUNIST LEFTARD!

Monster, how should I feel? Creatures lie here, looking through the window.

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

No, I think she should be canceled cause she's a Leftard Moron, and it's about time some of those assholes get canceled.

They are not going to fire her because she is black.

If she was white, she would be gone like Rosanne is.

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

You'd think someone who gives herself the name "Goldberg" would know a little more Jewish history!

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

Yeah, I noticed that too and had similar thoughts.

Ya know our discussion of Gibson being in a B movie the other day…. I think he is relegated to that because of his past anti semitic comments. Ya just don't do that in H.Wood which is pretty much run by Jews, as they say.

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

To their credit, they did suspend her.

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

Oh yeah. Just a slap on the wrist because of black privilege.
There would be no suspension if she had been white.
She would have been given a box to pack up her things with a security escort out that door for good!
Believe me.

Yup! This is also true.

However, black or white, Whoopi really didn't say anything offensive or untoward for those that have more fine honed critical thinking skills.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

Agreed.

This Woke Cancel Cult bullshit is getting out of hand.

All she did was share an opinion.
Big fucking deal.

"Please vote to preserve the unique character of Warren…" - Robert Duvall

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

And claiming something that is fact about man's inhumanity toward man can't be denied either.

People want to see the actions of the Nazi's as being racist towards Jews, when it was just blunt bare faced persecution of a people that were technically and definition wise all in the same white/caucasian race basket.

It was about what the Nazis saw as a sub-race within the same one and this is brought about by ethnicity.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Looks like a combo or a bit of this and that.

You don't like the thought of Whoopi making whoopee?

i do not!

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

How about Whoopi sitting on a whoopee cushion?

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

I'd be okay with that.

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

So making whoopee with Whoopi on a whoopee cushion, I guess, would also be out with you.

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

I don't see the difference. The peculiarity of antisemitism is that it holds the contradictory view that Jews are some how inferior genetically but superior intellectually; they are allegedly conspiring to govern the entire planet from the shadows, and succeeding.

In the case of the persecution of the Jews by the nazis, it was most definitely based on the perception that the Jewish race was genetically inferior. They were mocked for their stereotypical physical features and declared "unclean". I'm sure you've seen the posters.

If that's not racism, I'm happy to be educated on the matter.

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

I think genetically could be right but it isnt completely based on color and many times race.

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

The difference is simple really. There is no such thing as a race based on a religion. Nobody can seriously suggest that Jews of Israel are the same race as the Jews of Ethiopia. Race is based on physical characteristics, and nothing else.

On a sidenote, I have a theory that the caricature of the hook-nosed money-hungry Jew comes from The Merchant of Venice. The Nazis were notorious fans of Shakespeare. And that play ends with Shylock converting to Christianity

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

It was ALSO about religion. That's the point you're possibly trying to make.

The posters showing Jews having hooked noses and hunch backs, along with the Ayran master race concept, where they measured skulls and observed eye color to grant licences to marry and procreate, show us clearly that the Holocaust was very much about race. It wasn't just Jews that were gassed and burned.

The nazis wanted to "purify" Germania.

It's a sad indictment on modern society that we're even having to have this discussion.

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

yea, her response wasnt that offensive or stupid.

It made a lot of sense and people have a huge sense that the aryans were about white when it really isnt. You can be white and still be killed and jewish hatred isnt necessarily colored. Hitler wasnt the whitest man in the room nor do I think he completely hated colored people.

Im not rewriting shit. Most people go by assumptions and common perceptions not facts. When you do your research and study well you will know that.

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

That's not how she meant it anyway.

The Holocaust wasn't about race, just as slavery was also not about race. Because race isn't real. It's an imaginary concept oppressors used to justify oppression.

We're not supposed to be validating the reasons of the oppressors by agreeing with them.

What Whoopi meant is that objectively, it is not about race, because there are no racial differences in humankind. Nothing can be "about race" if race isn't real. Saying "it's not about race" is not the same as saying the motives of the oppressor were not racially-related. It's saying they were ill-informed.

It hurts my insides that entire groups of people do not get things that take a little bit of common sense to understand.

Monster, how should I feel? Creatures lie here, looking through the window.

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

I disagree. Without knowing much about her history, I'll bet Whoopi believes in race in regard to African slavery.

Alba gu bràth

Re: Whoopi Goldberg getting slammed hard

It's simple, Whoopi said it wasn't about race because Jews are considered to be white and she doesn't believe that it counts as racism if it is directed towards white people.

That Nazism was about man's inhumanity towards man is obvious and nobody but a holocaust denier would say otherwise. She's right of course but I don't understand why she felt the need to make that point. Her words were foolish and she was right to apologise.
