Not much but I thought it was the Meredith Viera chair.
Whoopi is just bush league.
Wait a minute! She’s right, it IS part of the ‘cultural upbringing’ of some people( not just the Deep South)!
It is part of the IGNORANT, LOW CLASS, THUGGISH-and yes,statistically mostly black, culture.
Dog fighting is part of being a black thug, it’s street-cred, it’s ‘real’.
She is perfectly illustrating how ‘normal’ too many blacks consider such cruelty. She’s admitting how numb, culturally,a huge number of blacks like Vick, are to cruelty and killing.
Poor or rich, it’s ingrained in the culture- and it’s understood, EXPECTED, and excused!
Now doesn’t the high crime rate among blacks make perfect sense?
Co-host Joy Behar had it just about right when she called what Vick did “dog murder”. The dogs were executed, not because they were convicted of some crime, or because they were politically incorrect, but only because they lost the match. There was no mercy shown at all. The dogs died in excruciating pain, was that supposed to be for the good of their souls? Did the torture cause them to reveal any secrets they held dear?
Things like this would not be done to an Islamic terrorist (who roundly DESERVES similar treatment).
But apparently Whoopi thinks it is OK to do things like that to a dog, because it is accepted in the “culture”.
This is self created, engineered hype by the View - they play the free press/advertising game better than anyone in the business.
They replaced one shocking, attention demanding lightning rod with another.
It works - everyone’s talking about it, and it makes the news.
I would tell ms goldberg that we have relatives in the deep south and none of them nor their family have ever participated in such a horrific “hobby” as this. To make that statement is an insult to all good people who live in the deep south. How dare she make such a blanket statement??? Another idiot on the view. Congratulations Barbara Walters...NOT! When will this show go off the air anyway?
And PETA is jumping all over this one right? No? No outrage for the psychotic left PETA?
Seriously, I ask, when has Whoopi ever been funny? Can someone please point me to somewhere where I can view something of her’s that makes somebody laugh? From what I’ve seen, I just don’t get it.
Defend that while you are at it, Whoopi.
Like lynchings?
Good article.Alway’s thought of Whoppi as a flake.Now i’m sure of it.Sounds like she’s filling Rosies shoes quite nicely.
“He’s from the South, from the Deep South ... This is part of his cultural upbringing.”
This dawg won’t hunt. As a Southerner, I’d like to help get the word out that we wear shoes and have paved roads now. Most homes actually have indoor bathrooms, electricity, and running water. And no, Florida is not a Southern state, just a geographical anomoly.
“Like lynchings?”
Which ones?
MAJOR BARF ALERT!!!! (You’ve been warned)
All you need to know about this allegedly female cretin is that she gained her name “Whoopi” because it is well documented that she can’t control the frequency or volume of her intestinal gaseous discharges. For you gummint skul graduates, she farts all the time. (I think I’m going to be ill!)
And for years, the problem has risen to the area of her mouth.
The southerners I was born and bred from would have hung someone for ‘dog fighting’ violence done by the likes of Vick.
Her stupid statement discounts the fact the the South was and is very religeous.
When has she ever displayed even a crumb of talent?
And she's ugly.
Whoopi who?
The networks are torturing the public by putting on these idiots.
You know how much us knuckle dragg’in, tobaccie spitt’in, lighten drink’in, illiterate inbred Southerners like our dawg kill’in sports! It’s our Gawd given right!
