ABC suspends Whoopi Goldberg following Holocaust Comments

Whoopi Goldberg got her hand slapped by ABC, for her comments on The View about the Holocaust. The network suspended her for two weeks, in my view, not nearly long enough. Most people were upset because “Goldberg,” whose real name is Caryn Johnson, said that the Holocaust was “not about race.” As we all know, Hitler yemach shmo v’zichro, certainly considered the Jews a race: a race that required extermination, once and for all, or as we call it, “genocide.”

However, the statement that really bugged me was this: “This is white people doing it to white people, so y’all going to fight amongst yourselves.”

First of all, Jews are not “white.” We come from the Levant, and due to expulsions, some of us picked up traits of our host countries, while others are clearly dark, and in some cases black. That’s aside from those who join us by choice. They come in every color of the rainbow.

This was not “white people fighting among themselves.” It was one madman giving himself permission to exterminate a helpless people by calling them “vermin.”

Whoopi Goldberg specifically chose her stage name to ridicule the Jewish people, and to exploit the Jews to boost her popularity. Talk about cultural appropriation.
