Saying the obvious gets you suspended: Whoopi Goldberg got suspended from the show, The View for saying the Holocaust wasn't about race, petty or not?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

She said the truth. Hilter and the Nazi physically looked like the people they were systematically slaughtering. 🙄https://news.yahoo.com/whoopi-goldberg-suspended-view-holocaust-024414739.html

Unfortunately the Jewish community don't see their religion as just a faith, its a way of life and consequently seen as a race.

It's so significant that your mother has to be Jewish to carry on the Jewish bloodline.
All I can say is that if she were to pose this differently.
Ie the holocaust was a disgusting and awful thing to occur and a major blob in our history that we could have done without. But the nazi mentality was ridiculous because Jewish people as Caucasian skinned people look like them, to attack and kill Jewish people just because they deem them inferior because of how they chose to live their lives is pathetic and by far the greatest level of hate...

Now I can not say that this would not still raise a few eyebrows and get a her suspended but her acknowledgement of the pain and suffering and comparing may have made this others view this differently.
All I can say is Hitler was really ignorant because he wasn't even blonde and blue eyed so why did he not think eventually the blonde and blue eyed people wouldn't annihilate him?

He was frigging nuts and to have the amount or power and leadership he did makes me actually curious about the structure of their motto etc etc.
Yes they were given orders but how how could you justify it?

I think they made an example of Whoopi also because of what happened with the recent blm.
There was a lot of support from all races around the world.
Ones pain doesn't outweigh another's pain and suffering...

So to explain this situation; The Nazis explicitly considered Jews as an inferior "race". They considered German blue eyed blonde people superior. They sought to exterminate Jews based on these teachings. It is recorded in all their writings. Americans view "race" as black or white. In other parts of the country that is not how they view race. So the Holocaust was LARGELY about race, the Nazis' view of race.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

The irony was Hilter nor all his soliders didn't have blonde hair and blue eyes. 😏

[Wise4myage]

And he wasn't even German. Its also rumored he had Jewish blood in his background.

[Avicenna]

What she said was not accurate and there is a mountain of evidence which shows that the Nazis did consider Jews to be a separate and inferior race. Furthermore, using the Nuremberg Race Laws, the Nazis even targeted people who were Christian but had at Jewish ancestors. The Nuremberg Race Laws also applied to blacks, which should make it obvious to everyone that the Nazis did not consider Jews to be white.

[GlassTop]

This is an extremely uneducated post. First, jews are not a religion. It is a race. There are plenty of jews that do not practice religion. The Holocaust was specifically about race and eugenics. Whoopi is a very ignorant racist that gets away with saying the dumbest things because she is black. Stay off of politics and social media. It lowers your IQ.

[Shamalien]

I notice a lot of liberal women talking shit thinking they are speaking for jews. As a jew I kindly ask you to shove it. What whoopie said was completely inoffensive, accurate, and very important to understand now more than ever. I’m betting all you virtue signalling goofs are the same asshat authoritarian idiots in support of lockdowns and other covid mandates. Absolutely astounding, we have literal modern day nazis who suppprt unvaxxed being barred from venues and travel thinking they are standing up for the oppressed. I’M AN UNVAXXED JEW I can't TRAVEL EAT OUT GO TO SHOWS BARS FUCKING NOTHING AND YOU DO NOT STAND WITH ME OR SPEAK FOR ME, YOU ARE THE NAZIS AND IF YOU THINK YOU AREN’T THEN YOU HAVE SOME SERIOUS INNER WORK TO DO

[RolandCuthbert]

Well, I don''t know about the suspension. That is up to ABC to decide. But I know this, I would never say something like this to my client and expect to keep my contract.

If Whoopi does not know that race is an insane backwards construct that means different things to different people at different times in different societies. . .

she should have asked.

[NutellaTrish]

Her comments about the Holocaust were definitely horrible. The Holocaust was about the Nazi’s systematic annihilation of the Jewish people, who they deemed to be an inferior race. They used that racist propaganda to justify killing millions of Jews. Racism was definitely central to the Nazi ideology. The Jews weren’t defined by religion, but by race! Whoopi Goldberg needs to go take a class about the Holocaust and educate herself, and you do too, asker.

[FreyaRed]

I'm sure mDNA and Y-DNA haplogroups analysis of Jewish population will disappoint you. Even ancient Jewish population before they crossbred with Southern and Eastern European don't differ from other Semitic Arabs who lived around Judea.

[Shamalien]

As a jew I think what she said was accurate and important to understand, now more than ever. Don’t speak for my people please thanks

[FreyaRed]

@Shamalien
She said "The Jews weren’t defined by religion, but by race! "
What for race?
According to this foolish statement no blonde and blue eyed jew died in Auschwitz

[Shamalien]

@FreyaRed blond and blue eyed jews did die in the camps. Some managed to pass as not jews, but jews have many distinctive characteristics besides eye and hair colour

[NutellaTrish]

The Nazis literally considered the Jews to be an inferior RACE. That’s a fact, not an opinion. I reiterate, they used that racist propaganda to justify killing millions of Jews. The idea that race = skin color is, in my opinion, a form of racial colorblindness. Race is so much more than simply the color of ones skin.

[Shamalien]

Yes, they did. Now let’s take a broader look at the situation. Government propaganda was used to demonize a minority and turn the mob on them. Is the true problem the propaganda, or the fact that these citizens were willing to treat their fellow man in such ways just because the government told them to?

Don’t obsess over the subject matter of the propaganda, that is just one manifestation of this situation, which happens all the time. It’s happening right now. I wonder which side you are on? Are you the mob hating the minority the government and media tell you to, or are you the one facing that discrimination?

[FreyaRed]

Jews are scapegoats which will be sacrificed by European elites all few decades to appease the angry pleb. That's what happened in the past dozens of times and this happened in Nazi Germany as well. It's not the "jewish race" it's their cult that convinces Jews they are the "master race" who is god chosen to rule others. It's exactly the same mechanic in another Semitic cult called Islam, they will be the next scapegoats if in western Europe the shit hits the fan. Jews are out of the game in Europe since they flew to honeypot called Israel to destabilize middle east.

@Shamalien you said "... important to understand, now more than ever."
I understand your fear.

[Shamalien]

@FreyaRed you miss my point entirely, blinded by your own narrative

[Anonymous]

I believe Petty. They were always seeking to get her for something. She’s always been controversial. And her own woman.
i’m not saying that she’s wrong or right it’s just certain circles you can’t say what you say in front of them. It kind of made sense. What she was saying when you hear Jewish you think of the religion there is no space on those boxes for Jewish person as a race. It became a nationality for targeting purposes

[Anonymous]

I think what you're trying to say is similar to what Whoopi was trying to say. It can never be about race if it's not about blacks or even browns being persecuted by whites. I'm I right? Her comments shows just how fucking petty and delusional the left has become.

[Opinion Owner]

Also, the Jewish community, for 2 years, has been the most targeted for hate crimes. I'm sure you didn't realize that and I wonder why?

[007kingifrit]

i hate woopie goldberg but i have to admit she's right. it was not about race exactly. this all seems like a wild overreaciton

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Why you hate her?

[007kingifrit]

i think she's a decadent spoiled celebrity with bad takes on most things. her ideas are born out of trying to sound positive and optimistic. but she fails to understand basic tennants of human nature

[Miristheiss]

I'm so glad we have the world history, world politics, genocide expert to come along 77 years after the fact to tell us what the Holocaust was "REALLY" about.

[Miristheiss]

I mean... she is an actress and all.
We all know actors and actresses are the wisest among us.
I mean, they are lecturing us all the time. They must be the wisest.

[DaveToo]

Whoopi is only half right. Hitler and the NAZI regime were systematically exterminating the Jews. That is racist. The Nazis were specifically going after people of color, any color, unless they were Jews.

[EnglishEuropean]

You guys know how I feel about "cancel culture".

Clue: It's all bullshit.

[Jamie05rhs]

Bruh... This is some dumb shit you just posted. The entire "Aryan" philosophy of the Third Reich was SPECIFICALLY about race!!

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Against other xaucasian people that looked just like you.

[Jamie05rhs]

@Hispanic-Cool-Guy Hitler did not agree with you, unfortunately.

[AviatorTom]

I agree with her, there's no reason she should have been suspended.

[888theGreat]

She has said worse and she was right human cruel to other humans , I guess it didn't come out right or sound right. This is what cancel culture does. Everyone gets cancelled in the end.

[Anonymous]

Ah bummer, a minority got reprimanded for being racially insensitive. I can see why that would ruin your day.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Ruin my day? She's pointing out the damn obvious but in cancel culture the obvious is punished..

[Opinion Owner]

You are like a broken record dude.

[Honestguyopen]

Not petty. She has mad some very strong and controversial statements. In my opinion she has become hardened and unreasonable

[dragoblack]

I lost respect for woopi when she supported Hillary Clinton

[Anonymous]

She should have known better, look what happened to Mel Gibson

[OddBeMe]

Petty. And Israel worshipping.

[joeldalton]

Jews see themselves as a separate race.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

[fireforeffect]

She deserved to be suspended.

[tartaarsaus]

Karma. She’s dumb
