Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of “The View,” generated strong backlash on Monday after telling viewers that the Holocaust “wasn’t about race.”
Her disturbing and false statements came during a discussion about “a Tennessee school board’s recent vote to remove a graphic novel about the Holocaust from an eighth grade language arts curriculum due to profanity and nudity,” according to Breitbart News.
“Let’s be truthful about it because the Holocaust isn’t about race. No, it’s not about race,” Goldberg said.
“The minute you turn it into race, it goes down this alley. Let’s talk about it for what it is. It’s how people treat each other. It’s a problem. It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white, because black, white, Jews … everybody eats each other,” she later said in the segment.
Numerous celebrities quickly spoke against the inaccurate comment, including Perez Hilton and actor Michael Rappaport.
“I love Whoopi Goldberg, but this take of hers on the Nazis and the Holocaust is… not it,” Hilton said.
“YES #WhoopiGoldberg it was ALL & ONLY about RACE. Apologize!!!!” Rappaport added.
The Boston Globe’s Jeff Jacoby called Goldberg’s ignorance “scary” in a Twitter post. He also wrote, “The Nazis were obsessed with race. Over & over, they declared Jews an inferior race polluting the Aryan master race. In 1939, Hitler declared that his goal if war came would be “the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe.”
The concerning comments and push back show that the liberal hosts of “The View” do not represent the actual views of millions of Americans. The words also reveal the startling level of ignorance among some media voices regarding the basic facts of history involving the Holocaust and World War II.
The Holocaust included the deaths of more than six million Jews by the racist, genocidal efforts of Nazi Germany. To call the actions anything less is to minimize the evil involved. Goldberg’s comments are both wrong and offensive, especially to the Jewish people.
Yesterday ABC suspended Whoopie Goldberg for 14 days over her spreading of misinformation. Many have pushed the network to fire her. Time will tell if Ms. Goldberg, who’s real name is Caryn Johnson, will be canceled like she has celebrated happening to so many others.

Speech is no longer considered “FREE” since whatever one says can be misconstrued in so many ways that even “Left-Leaning” people on the “View” can be canceled which means almost anything you think cannot always be said in Public and certainly not on national TV! Wokeness has practically consumed the English Language and I wonder if it will be taught in schools as a “Second Language” with a Complete set of new “Pronouns” as people invent “New Genders” and maybe we need a “New Dictionary” to define all the new terms and identities that have been invented to further confuse the already confused even more than can be imagined, give credit to the Left and their “So-Called Leader” Bandon
I agree,
Jaba The Hut in custom outfit made by Abdul The Tentmaker. Oh sorry it was woopsie.
ABC should fire Goldberg ( Karen Johnson ) for her antisemitism . Period
The are not new gender. God create men and women. And my God He don’t make mistakes. That’s He created man and women. Jesus love everyone, but He hate sin. They need to read Genesis.
She said, that her mother told her she is Jewish from her ancestors…They said it goes far from many years…First of all, I do not believe that Whoopi’s last name Goldberg is her real Jewish name…She doesn’t even know anything about her ancestors…
Sorry Whoopi, keep the name Caren Johnson…I know that I’m an Irish, English and Scots in my grandparents and my real parents blood…My mother’s parents came from Cork, Ireland they came here during the Famine (potato) in the middle 1800’s..My mother was born in Chicago Illinois ,and as well her baby brother..Her half brothers and sisters came from Ireland.8 kids…My Dad’s father is 100 percent Irish, born here in America…His mother was born in England and also has Scots in her blood…I am a born American..I decent nationalities are, mostly Irish, English and Scots…I bet the Whoopi doesn’t know anything, about suppose to be Jewish backgrounds..
Just a slap on the wrist, if a conservative said this she would be calling for that person to be fired. Nothing but hypocrites on the view.
I don’t listen to that FOOL anyway . . . never HAVE and never WILL. The Same goes for “the View”. Mama raised a FOOL, But I’m NOT one of them. One Enlightened Patriot.
ABC should fire Whoopie or change her name to Poopie for all the Racist Prejudice Shit that comes out of her mouth. Or change the name of your show to The Racist Prejudge View. I will never watch your show again.
it was about race, Whoopi. Liberals on the network set the rules. Based on those rules, Whoopi should be fired, not suspended. Or is this, once again, rules for you not not for me? The hypocrisy is everywhere.
Inbred tree swinger Whoopie is a DISGRACE and She should be FIRED !!! The TRASHY view , is nothing but a bunch of old , washed up , SOCIALIST , degenerate sluts that spend an hour bashing Conservatives . It must be nice to sit high up on their throne , wearing a crown and be so superior to everyone else !!
No surprise. She is a disgusting, racist, hate-monger. How anyone can even stand to listen to her idiotic rants is beyond reason. Celebrities react? Who cares?
I find it so sad that they gave Whoopie a most likely paid vacation when others are fired for saying less. Take a class in the Holocaust and World War II you find your not so smart after all.
Now come on she would not be able to comprehend the subject matter on the Holocaust and World War II. Whoopie has a predefined point of view and no matter how much fact she is showed will still come up with the same conclusion.
Who ever said Hollywood actor’s and actresses are smart? Most of them just think they are and try to convince people they know everything and they are always right.
I think everyone making a statement like they do on the view I find offensive and think programs such this should find another outlet for their dialogue. For the 30 years I avoid a lot of public such programming as NCIS etc sometime just to avoid all the commericals. Have eliminated a lot of sports that I did watch because of this wokeness it’s going to cause people to throw their TV’s. LGB that should tell how I fell about Biden.
I agree, I don’t watch the view, I pay enough for cable and expect better, programming, less advertising,
Language is an art and I don’t understand swear, biased opinions, only the true facts, and less hyper-accentuation! Of false truths.
Fat & FUGLY Goldberg is a POS COCKROACH. She is an insignificant Blob of shit.
They need to fire her, & deport the scumbag to Africa.
