I can’t imagine caring what either the ADL or Goldberg has to say. This simply doesn’t seem like that big of a story to warrant all this handwringing, then again Joe Rogan is in the news a lot too and I don’t get what the big deal Is. I suppose I’m just not hip to what is really newsworthy anymore.
She ain’t no Sammy Davis Jr.
Disgusting, appropriating Jewish trappings for advancement and then openly deriding Jews.
Cancel her from everywhere and refer to her as ‘Whoopsie Goldbrick”.
I knew a Jewish man use the word “princess” when referring to some Jewish women. I don’t think “princess” is a slur like some other words that are really offensive and anti-semitic words. Some of those princess jokes are funny.
Cultural appropriation is good when we do it.
This is wonderful. The cancel culture insanity will only stop when the left gets eaten up by it.
Buh-bye “whoopie”! Was not nice knowing ya!
FWIW, from her Wikipedia article:
“About her stage surname, she claimed in 2011, “My mother did not name me Whoopi, but 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.”
I always wondered why Whoopi the Hut didn’t get hit with cultural appropriation before now.
The rule is that if she is using her celebrity to advance The Revolution she can appropriate any cultural heritage she wants - and She May Not Be Criticized. Didn’t the ADL get the memo? :)
So it turns out the hideous creature has a long history as a Jew hater 🤪
Surprise 🙄
the biggest problem isn’t one black woman using a “Jewish sounding name”..
the biggest problem is the ADL (taken over by far leftist political operatives, diverted almost completely away from its historic mission of defending Jewish people from attack and discrimination......but still pretending to Occupy that civic space... thus, effectively blocking the creation of a new, REAL Jewish civil rights defense organization.. when it is so seriously needed)
Whoopie is welcome to become a real Jew anytime she wishes. If she does not wish to do so, fine...not a problem.
It would be nice and considerate if she stopped the pretense but as almost everyone can see right through it anyway, it doesn’t matter much.
occ
After all she is a Caryn
And dumb as a box of rocks
The real problem is Whoopi can’t define racism and is ignorant of history, mainly because she never bothered to learn.
The suspension is justified IMHO because thousands of viewers listen to her and sadly probably respect her “views”.
