The controversial star is back in the news after another major gaffe.
The View moderator Whoopi Goldberg doubled down on her controversial belief that the genocide of Jewish people in the Holocaust was not racially motivated, but was “white on white” violence.
These are similar comments to the ones that got her suspended from the daytime chat-fest back in February of this year.
Despite initially receiving both professional and social backlash for her views, Goldberg repeated the sentiment in a recent interview after being told that the Nazis themselves believed the Holocaust was about race.
“Yes, but that’s the killer, isn’t it? The oppressor is telling you what you are. Why are you believing them? They’re Nazis. Why believe what they’re saying?” she replied, adding that she didn’t believe it was “originally” about race.
“Remember who they were killing first. They were not killing racial; they were killing physical,” the Sister Act star continued. “They were killing people they considered to be mentally defective. And then they made this decision.”
“It doesn’t change the fact that you could not tell a Jew on a street,” she noted. “You could find me. You couldn’t find them. That was the point I was making. But you would have thought that I’d taken a big old stinky dump on the table, butt naked.”
The Ghost actress first made the shocking comments during the Monday, January 31, episode of The View. Later that day, she apologized via social media and brought up the topic against during her appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
“When you talk about being a racist, you can’t call this racism,” she told the show host. “This was evil. This wasn’t based on skin. You couldn’t tell who was Jewish. You had to delve deeply and figure it out. My point is: they had to do the work.”
As Radar previously reported, ABC President Kim Godwin announced on Tuesday, February 1, that the 67-year-old had been suspended from the show for two weeks, resulting in a whopping $192,000 loss in pay.
“While Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments,” Godwin said at the time. “The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family and communities.”
Goldberg spoke with The Times on her views.
Who cares what that piece of garbage says or thinks.Just because she has money does not make her smart.I am Jewish and they found the Jews very easy back than.
FIRE her and make sure she can’t spew that garbage anywhere again. Also, cancel the View as well. That’s nothing but a viper’s nest of old hags anyway
There are two definitions of race. One separates race fro ethnicity ( one ethnic group being Jewish), so Whoopi is correct when she uses that definition. It’s also a shame that she wants to concentrate on persecution when it applies to blacks and ignore it when it applies to any other situation. I would have to call that racist.
Please fire her she has done and said so many anti white sentiments spit in a prominent judges face so and so on. The view started going downhill when Meredith Viera left now it’s such a slog I don’t even turn it on. So many people say the same thing
As far as Goldbuger ‘is concerned Stupid says as stupid is!
Being Jewish is not about race. The Nazis needed scrape goats. They had to dig to figure out who was who. I have friends who are Jewish and you can not tell what they’re religion is. I am Hispanic and you can tell what I am. So whether it is black, white, brown or red Jews come in all colors.
that is a you know what.. We are not allowed to say what She is, but figure it out by counting the letters in the alphabet. 14.
Goldberg’s “view” on racism is binary – black and white.
If you’re not black, you can’t suffer racism.
She said exactly what she meant the first time.
Reiterating it proves this.
We must never substitute a doctrine of Black supremacy for white supremacy. For the doctrine of Black supremacy is as dangerous as white supremacy. God is not interested merely in the freedom of black men and brown men and yellow men but God is interested in the freedom of the whole human race, the creation of a society where all men will live together as brothers

She obviously didn’t learn. Fine her and suspend her again. If it happens again, void her contract and dire her.
