Whoopi Goldberg was suspended from ABC’s “The View” Tuesday evening after she claimed the Holocaust was “not about race.”
“Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for her wrong and hurtful comments,” ABC News President Kim Godwin tweeted.
“While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments.”
Goldberg, 66, claimed Nazis and Jews were both white on Monday’s program, and repeated the statement on “Late Night With Steven Colbert that evening.”
“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,” she wrote.
Insiders want her fired.
Does anyone really believe Whoopi is racist? She just doesn’t know anything. That’s her. The outrage is misplaced. It was ignorance. It’s obvious she didn’t know and now she does. The apology should have been enough.
I can’t stand any of the harpies on the show but what’s fair is fair. She is probably the nicest one on the show.
What do you think?

Of course they only suspended her, anything more drastic and she would cry racist.

@ CH,
He was born in Austria in 1889 and the son of a brutal drunkard customs official.
The death of his mother and the treatment in cosmopolitan Vienna warped him.
People of Jewish ancestry became his scapegoat even though a Jewish officer intervened on his behalf to get the Eiserne Kreuz (Iron Cross) awarded.
You need to learn more about how the Nazi’s defined Jewish before expounding like this. Their definition had nothing to do with attending service. It had everything to do with genetic heritage!
It’s quite simply a demonstration of her ignorance. That Disney brings her on to comment on such things demonstrates the ignorance of their production staff.
I am not at all upset about Whoopi’s suspension. The entire panel should be suspend for being liberal pinheads.
That aside, technically Whoopi is correct. Judaism is not a race. There are Negroid Jews, Caucasian Jews, Asian Jews….all races and many ethnic groups from within the races have representatives in the Jewish religion. The races are white/Caucasian, Mongoloid/Asian, Negroid/Black, and some people add a fourth race, Australoid.
The fact that Hitler may have considered Jews a race does not make it so. It just qualifies Hitler as a stupid German son of a bitch.
Actually she did say something similar and just now reading about the trained Marxist leader of BLM prepping Warner Bros for reparations films.
Oh…it says ex-BLM leader P. Cullors, now that the capitalist pig Cha-Ching is piled high, ain’t nobody got time for that agitation because their guy is in the WH.
