Disney’s ABC is coming under pressure to fire The View‘s Whoopi Goldberg after she doubled down on her comments about the Holocaust, claiming in a recent interview that the murder of six million Jewish people during World War II wasn’t racially motivated.
In a recent interview with The Sunday Times of London, Whoopi Goldberg defended the remarks she made on The View in January, saying that she doesn’t believe the Jewish race exists and that “you could not tell a Jew on a street. You could find me. You couldn’t find them.”

Since the interview ran on Saturday, there have been growing calls for Goldberg to apologize, again, and for Disney-owned ABC to fire Goldberg, with the hashtag #FireWhoopi appearing on social media.

Goldberg’s remarks to The Sunday Times echo earlier remarks she made in January on ABC’s The View that led to her receiving a two-week suspension from the show. Goldberg apologized on air and issued an apology on Twitter at the time, saying “I’m sorry for the hurt I have caused.”
But the tweet has since been deleted.

The Sunday Times asked Goldberg about her controversial comments, asking if she still believes what she said.
“My best friend said, ‘Not for nothing is there no box on the census for the Jewish race. So that leads me to believe that we’re probably not a race,’ ” she told the newspaper.

When the interviewer pushed back saying “Nazis saw Jews as a race,” Goldberg replied: “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 added: “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.”
The Whoopi Goldberg controversy is the latest publicity crisis for the Walt Disney Co., which has experienced a non-stop parade of bad news during 2022.

The company is facing weak profitability for the foreseeable future — a development that prompted the recent firing of CEO Bob Chapek and the return of former CEO Bob Iger.

Disney also picked an ill-advised fight with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) over the state’s anti-grooming Parental Rights in Education Law. The company has increasingly embraced radical LGBTQ activism and has incorporated transgender ideology into its entertainment for children.

Its amazing that all her time in Holliwood and she hasn't realized there is a jewish archtype- even though many jews are cultural-religious jews.. those who are of not jewish racial decent- but the "race" of jews very much being a thing, and the cause of a great world war, is apparently a bit of world history that has escaped her. She is a vapid type.

Cancel culture for an opinion? Cancel culture for not knowing something- even if it seems ubiquitous. I spose it is 'their rules' .. but not something I am going to be 'pro.' On the othhr hand, the employer pays the wage and has the say, but this doesn't sound like the employer is instigating it- or she'd just be fired/ recensured... but this is 'grass roots' ie, the media and professional antagonizers and race baiters... eating their own, or having a tug-o-war with a live person/career.. great. It's their way. Let them live by their sword. We'll see. I know I said above I'm not for cancel culture on merit and implications, but in this instance it's the lesser evil to let them feed on themselves, cancel a loudmouf ingrate, and maybe cower a couple of their own, and push a few fence sitters right. All in all, infighting amongst the enemy is fine to applaud- after all, very little they do is going to get your blessing - destroying each other should:)

We've been through this story at least once before with her. She was on leave without pay for like a week or two and then was back in the saddle. It would do more work to force her to take off work and not return until she is a healthier weight. More than likely she would quit of her own free will at that point.

money? whats that?
Forgetting the Whoopie cushion for a minute............have I read once where there is a DNA test to determine if you can be identified as a Jew to become a citizen of Israel if you happen to migrate there?

How is that possible?......or is it not true?

I heard the same one time, years ago. Never did see a link or any other kind of way to verify, so I wrote it off.

It took them less than a week (? iirc) to fire Roseanne. She lost her job and the show she created and made a success for a tweet she made in error while on sleeping bills, not even knowing VJ was african american. Megan Kelly lost her job for talking about black face on halloween, she didn't do it, she talked about it. Whoopie dated Ted Danson who wore blackface (and was not cancelled) and there is a picture of her laughing with Howard Stern while he was in blackface. Notice a pattern? Whoopie isn't going to lose anything, she'll be slapped on the hand again.

It's because of idiots like her and kanye west that we're seeing antisemitism ads non-stop on the tv, social media, etc. You won't hear a word about the racism asians and native americans face and daily, or whites for that matter.
Yeah, all but completely forgotten is that thing about "content of character".....

So the Holocaust wasn't racially motivated, but Trump was/is?

Reality/Truth is a sliding scale among the Left.?

If it "feelz" truthful then it MUST be?

Pontius Pilate must be shaking his head, as I expect by now he knows.
