Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg is once again facing backlash for remarks she made about the Holocaust. Attorney Robert Patillo talks about why her words are so harmful.

After Goldberg said the Holocaust "wasn't originally" about race in a new interview published Saturday, Jewish leaders condemned the remarks as historically ...

Goldberg was also a producer of the film. [wrote in a tweet](https://twitter.com/RitchieTorres/status/1606816732055846912?s=20&t=_V9JhJ3BtW2U4BhEHJtlng) linking to a news story about Goldberg's most recent comments: "Antisemitism is anti-Jewish racism. Goldberg apologized in a statement Tuesday evening following the criticism of the interview. Claiming the Holocaust had nothing to do with racism is historical revisionism at its worst." It was all about race." “I’m still learning a lot and believe me, I heard everything everyone said to me. [with the U.K. They were not killing racial; they were killing physical. You couldn’t find them. You could find me. “The oppressor is telling you what you are. When the reporter told Goldberg that "the Nazis measured the heads and noses of Jews to 'prove' they were a distinct race," Goldberg replied: “They did that to Black people too.

“It doesn't change the fact that you could not tell a Jew on a street. You could find me. You couldn't find them. That was the point I was making,” the actor — ...

And then goes on to say “Even as a child I knew I was a girl”. Since the one in question played an endearing, spiritual and heroic role in Sister Act and elsewhere, she is presumed to be a “good” person, albeit with some charming, forgivable flaws – and beloved of mother superior, bishop and Pope! I thought it was not unlike where a man changes his name to Mary, declares that he is a woman and wears a frock to prove it. Whoopi is engaging in “presentism”, and is actually licensed by the redefining of “racism” by many, the ADL included, to apply only when non-whites are being racialized by whites. The author is talking about pretending to have a certain background when you don’t, which is more like “fabrication”. At worst she will say she is educating herself and “doing the work”. [defending her claim](https://www.foxnews.com/media/whoopi-goldberg-heat-repeating-incendiary-holocaust-remarks-learned-nothing) that the Holocaust was white-on-white violence, a clash of white ethnic groups that resulted in the deaths of millions of Jewish people in Central and Eastern Europe. The View has floated into my consciousness sometimes on YouTube and it is truly chock full of shrieking awful women. Jews, Slavs, Roma and Blacks were deemed under Nazi ideology to be “sub-human”, whereas pretty dark skinned Persians were classed as fellow “Aryans” and the Japanese and Arabs were valued allies. And white people did not simply march in and take over while the locals stood their picking their noses. The most shocking thing is people actually watch the View. Goldberg’s remarks admittedly aren’t tied to the [various colourful conspiracy theories](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/20/opinion/kyrie-irving-kanye-west-antisemitism.html) that informed Ye’s statements, nor has she praised Adolf Hitler’s accomplishments, but she has nevertheless slain a sacred cow by appearing to aggrandise black suffering at the expense of Jewish suffering.

Whoopi Goldberg faces newfound criticism after continuing to comment on the backlash she faced in late January and early February regarding the Holocaust.

“No @WhoopiGoldberg, the #Holocaust was about the Nazi’s systematic annihilation of the Jewish people – who they deemed to be an inferior race. Nazi racist beliefs fueled genocide and mass murder,” The [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/whoopi-goldberg-till-film-hollywood-race-cancel-culture-c5lgc656v) in London, United Kingdom, about the criticisms she faced then and her new film, Till. “The Holocaust isn’t about race. “Racism was central to Nazi ideology. They dehumanized them and used this racist propaganda to justify slaughtering 6 million Jews. No, it’s not about race... The oppressor is telling you what you are. They were not killing racial; they were killing physical. Why believe what they’re saying?” Goldberg questioned. You could find me. “You could not tell a Jew on a street.

Dov Hikind, a frum activist and former lawmaker, scolded Whoopi Goldberg vehemently for her remarks downplaying the Holocaust. “Whoopi is at it again, ...

”Why are you believing them? Goldberg asserted that there was no racial connection to the Holocaust once more. They were murdering those they deemed to have mental defects.

Anti-Defamation League (ADL) chief Jonathan Greenblatt on Tuesday called out actress and comedian Whoopi Goldberg for what he said were “offensive” remarks ...

“Failure to address the issue would raise serious questions about her sincerity and solidarity with her Jewish viewers and all those who experience any form of hate.” “As a result of the racial Nuremberg laws, six million Jews, including at least 1.5 million Jewish children, who were slaughtered in the Nazi gas chambers and death camps during the Holocaust, as were millions of others.” “Germans considered themselves the ‘master race’ and claimed all other non-Aryans were inferior. “In a moment when antisemitic incidents have surged across the US, she should realize that making such ignorant statements can have real consequences.” This is a trope we still hear echoed by white supremacists in the U.S. They were not killing racial; they were killing physical.

Chief executive of Anti-Defamation League calls The View co-host's remark's 'deeply offensive'

[Sunday Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/whoopi-goldberg-till-film-hollywood-race-cancel-culture-c5lgc656v) published at the weekend, Goldberg said: “Remember who they were killing first. Goldberg replied: “They did that to black people too. “You could find me. You couldn’t find them. And then they made this decision." [Whoopi Goldberg](https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/television/2022/02/02/whoopi-goldberg-faces-suspension-from-the-view-over-holocaust-comments/) faced backlash on Tuesday for falsely suggesting that the Holocaust was not “about race”.

ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt has blasted Whoopi Goldberg's recent comments about the Holocaust as "deeply offensive and incredibly ignorant."

She was suspended [for two weeks earlier this year](https://www.thewrap.com/whoopi-goldberg-suspended-from-the-view-for-2-weeks-over-holocaust-comments/) over the fallout of her previous comments. They were not killing racial; they were killing physical. “Remember who they were killing first.

Whoopi Goldberg is facing criticism again for doubling down on her view that the Holocaust wasn't a racially motivated genocide.

So that leads me to believe that we’re probably not a race,” the unnamed friend said, according to Ms. “Not for nothing is there no box on the census for the Jewish race. Goldberg earlier this year where she said that the Holocaust was “not about race.” “The oppressor is telling you what you are. Goldberg said that “It doesn’t change the fact that you could not tell a Jew on a street. “Yes, but that’s the killer, isn’t it?” Ms.

The Anti-Defamation League is condemning Whoopi Goldberg for saying the Holocaust wasn't originally about race.

“She needs to apologize immediately and actually commit to educating herself on the true nature of #antisemitism.” She also doubled down and said the Holocaust “wasn’t originally” about race. It’s about man’s inhumanity to man.” I believe that the Holocaust was about race, and I am still as sorry now as I was then that I upset, hurt and angered people. When she made similar comments earlier this year, we explained how the Nazi regime was inherently racist.” “I tried to convey to the reporter what I had said and why, and attempted to recount that time.

Whoopi Goldberg has again tried to make the argument that the Holocaust wasn't about race, and for the second time this year, the ADL corrected her.

As for Goldberg’s timeline about “who they were killing first,” the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum shared a letter that Adolf Hitler wrote in 1919 — fourteen years before the opening of the first concentration camp. I believe that the Holocaust was about race, and I am still as sorry now as I was then that I upset, hurt and angered people. In the statement, Goldberg indicates that, in the interview, she was simply recounting what she said earlier this year, not “doubling down on hurtful comments.” She also says plainly that “I believe that [the Holocaust](https://deadline.com/tag/the-holocaust/) was about race, and I am still as sorry now as I was then that I upset, hurt and angered people.” She needs to apologize immediately and actually commit to educating herself on the true nature of I also stand with the Jewish people.” So that leads me to believe that we’re probably not a race,'” The View host said in the interview, which was published during Hanukkah. And for the second time this year, the ADL and other groups that combat anti-Semitism corrected her. I regret my comments, and I stand corrected. I tried to convey to the reporter what I had said and why, and attempted to recount that time. When she made similar comments earlier this year, we explained how the Nazi regime was inherently racist. In this time of rising antisemitism, I want to be very clear when I say that I always stood with the Jewish people and always will. They were not killing racial; they were killing physical.

“The Jewish people around the world have always had my support and that will never waver,” Goldberg wrote at the time. “I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments,” Godwin wrote. “She needs to apologize immediately and actually commit to educating herself on the true nature of So that leads me to believe that we’re probably not a race,’ ” Goldberg said in the Dec. “When she made similar comments earlier this year, we explained how the Nazi regime was inherently racist.” “My best friend said, ‘Not for nothing is there no box on the census for the Jewish race.

Whoopi Goldberg claimed she wasn't "doubling down" on previous Holocaust comments. "I always stood with the Jewish people and always will," she said.

She was out as “The View” co-host for two weeks. “It was never my intention to appear as if I was doubling down on hurtful comments, especially after talking with and hearing people like rabbis and old and new friends weighing in.” She needs to apologize immediately and actually commit to educating herself on the true nature of [#antisemitism](https://twitter.com/hashtag/antisemitism?src=hashtag_click).” “But you would have thought that I’d taken a big old stinky dump on the table, butt naked.” So that leads me to believe that we’re probably not a race,’” Goldberg told the news outlet.
