Whoopi Goldberg caused a lot of controversy on Monday when she claimed on The View that the Holocaust wasn’t about “race.”
It was a shocking moment on the show, and even her fellow liberal co-hosts challenged her to explain what she “really meant.” Goldberg explained that, in her view, the Holocaust wasn’t about race but rather “man’s inhumanity to man” because it was about “two groups of white people.”
Whoopi has made stupid comments on the show before (basically every episode), but these were probably her most controversial comments since 2009, when she said Roman Polanski’s rape of a 13-year-old girl in 1977 wasn’t “rape-rape.”
“I know it wasn’t rape-rape. It was something else but I don’t believe it was rape-rape,” she said. “He went to jail and and when they let him out he was like ‘You know what this guy’s going to give me a hundred years in jail I’m not staying,’ so that’s why he left.”
According to the Daily Mail, staffers at ABC are furious with the network for not firing Whoopi in light of the backlash her remarks caused, especially when ABC fired Roseanne Barr because of her comments about Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.
“These comments are absolutely abhorrent and outrageous and it’s time Disney and ABC grew a pair and fired her,” the source told the Daily Mail. “Disney took swift action and fired Roseanne Barr when she posted the awful tweet about Valerie Jarrett, yet Whoopi made her vile comments on ABC’s air and they do nothing about it? Where is the leadership from within Disney? [Disney content chairman] Peter Rice needs to step up and do his job and fire Whoopi.”

I think the better move is for ABC to rehire Roseanne Barr.
The better move is to cancel the entire show!
Ya’ll need to leave whoopie alone....she’s just celebrating black history month.
.
Hannity is doing everything he can to save her.
Hannity is Pro-Pence, besties with Lindsey Graham, parties with Geraldo, and calls fake Whoopi idiot his good friend!
Why not do both? Best of both world . . . . :-)
Is she still selling those cushions?
Whoopi can’t hold a candle to that monumentally ignorant twit Joy Behar. I think Whoopi should play the race card.
ABC should drop the View there feeding the feral.
Roseanne would make that worth watching and give those hens something to cackle about.
I’d be in favor of bringing back Roseanne. It was wrong to take her out in the first place. Fair’s fair.
Instead ofIn addition to Firing Whoopi, ABC Should Rehire Roseanne
She decided to change her real name as many do. But I thought this angle about her new name was interesting in her biography on Wikipedia:
“Goldberg is my name—it’s part of my family, part of my heritage, just like being black”, and “I just know I am Jewish. I practice nothing. I don’t go to temple, but I do remember the holidays.”
She has stated that “people would say ‘Come on, are you Jewish?’ And I always say ‘Would you ask me that if I was white? I bet not.’”
One account recalls that her mother, Emma Johnson, thought the family’s original surname was “not Jewish enough” for her daughter to become a star.
Researcher Henry Louis Gates Jr. found that all of Goldberg’s traceable ancestors were African Americans, that she had no known German or Jewish ancestry, and that none of her ancestors were named Goldberg.
Results of a DNA test, revealed in the 2006 PBS documentary African American Lives, traced part of her ancestry to the Papel and Bayote people of modern-day Guinea-Bissau. Her admixture test indicates that she is of 92 percent sub-Saharan African origin and of 8 percent European origin.
...and if you ain't Black, you white, cracker.
ABC really showed Whoopi. 2 weeks paid vacation and tons of free advertising for the show.
Didn’t they kill Roseanne’s character off?

More proof that white people are even better at being stupid than black folks.
RE: Didn’t they kill Roseanne’s character off?
They can always reboot the show.... or find a way to create a different narrative, like she didn’t really die.
That ship has sailed.
