She has said some ridiculous shit about Covid which I have mentioned before, now this - The Holocaust was not about race. - Whoopi Goldberg This "uproar"/cancelling bullshit misses the context of history about equally as her remark. As a person descended from Jewish family, I have no problem with her comment which reflects more modern views of Judaism and race than we're in the past. Yes being Jewish was considered in many countries a separate race apart from white. I imagine on this board we all know that basics of the Holocaust. More recently, and certainly growing up, I never nor did any Jewish peers I knew, spoke of our being (whether active practicing or not) Jewish as a race. It was thought of as a religion (it is) and perhaps an ethnicity which is not identical to race. That distinction and the change over history matters, not that clickbait news or other fucking idiots care for anything involving comprehension or the like. I'm not surprised The View and it's viewers make a stink about something that I find fairly innocuous. I will continue to like Whoopi's movies. She is not cancelled for me.

She's not cancelled for me either. Even fuckwits should have a voice I suppose it's how you interpret race. I mean we are all from the same race it could be argued. It was certainly about race to the Nazis. It was just a pretty silly thing to say suggesting racism is just about black and white people. But I suppose it's opened up the discussion.

I have never watched The View and doubt I ever will. Someone described it as a show where celebrities act like authorities on topics of which they generally are ignorant. Of course I've never watched Oprah either so I don't think I'm their target audience.
I do remember Whoopi doing standup in the early 80s before fame and fortune. She was living in Berkeley then and was on a local PBS comedy show.

But miles, she says almost everything you agree with and have posted about on here about Covid Oprah is another one feeding off gossip and misinformation. Take the Harry and Megan interview. The fact that it is Oprah gives it more gravity somehow, no matter how ridiculous it is. I have no time for Whoopi or Oprah.

Plus if Trump had said what Whoopi said. Can you imagine? Whoopi said it, nothing to see here. Oprah said what? Nothing to see here. That's why everything is relative to our own beliefs and prejudices.
