Maus, which depicts Jews as mice and Nazis as cats, has won a number of literary awards.
Goldberg, a 66-year-old Oscar-winning actress who has been on ABC talk show The View since 2007, told her co-hosts: "I'm surprised that's what made you uncomfortable, the fact that there was some nudity."If you're going to do this, then let's be truthful about it. Because the Holocaust isn't about race. No, it's not about race."Goldberg said: "But it's not about race. It's not. It's about man's inhumanity to other man.
Goldberg continued: "But you're missing the point! 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."Critics blasted the show for platforming dangerous disinformation. "They dehumanised them and used this racist propaganda to justify slaughtering six million Jews. Holocaust distortion is dangerous."
let's just all agree, whoopis ancestors deserve reparations but got none, while Jews are getting there's. that's all that matters
Just don't ask showbiz types any serious questions.
Some see celebrities as experts. Goldberg proves the opposite.
This woman is all mouth and no brain. For the life of me I cannot understand her success.
Apology means absolutely nothing
Where the lie? Are the Jewish peoole not White? Didnt some simply change their last names to assimilate into White Anglo-Saxon society. Where's the lie?
What a way to end your career Whoopi smh
We need to listen more to people who were in the holocaust. Maybe to her perception it was two white groups but really she needs to interview someone who was there.
She’s just continuing her dislike of Jewish people. Let’s remember she fiercely defended and stood by Mel Gibson who is anti-Semitic and a Holocaust denier.
is Jewish a race or a religion? I thought it was a religion as people were killed for their religion, not their race if my history lessons were correct people from Poland who were Jewish from Czechoslovakia any nation Hitler invaed?
And GOLDBERG is the last name she uses? 🧐
Oh Whoopi !! There is my Mouth...my Foot will follow shortly!! 😫
She's partially right as we keep forgetting about the gypsies, travellers and some others but it was mainly about the Jewish people but we just need to remember that we shouldn't do it again but sadly I can see it happening again wars camps hatred
Many forget that many non Jews were also subject to the death camps
What these Jews doing to Palestinians why get hurt so much they are doing the same what Hitler done to them …
If a white person had of said the slave trade wasn't about race they'd be hounded out of their job, home and thrown in jail.
There's also a double standard here because public people have been canceled and taken off the air for saying stuff about other groups.
I appreciate she apologised but her remarks were way out of line
She seems to have be ignorant of what races are; the world is not a dichotomy of black/white. We shouldn't fly off the handle every time someone makes a stupid comment. just label it stupid/ignorant and move on.
Ill bet whoopie hasnt been slammed for a long time.
What’s annoying she apologies for clearly a stupid ignorant statement and we all move on. But if a white person has made a similar racial comment about black people and apologised that wouldn’t have been enough they’d be pillared. Why?
Are Jewish people now a 'race'? I thought they were human like the rest of us following a particular religion.....does that mean gay/lesbians, who were also persecuted & murdered by the Nazis, are a 'race' as well? Have I misunderstood something?
She want to do some reading on the war and less time feeding her face.
Two groups of white people apparently….,
Presumably to her only black people come under the racist banner not other persecuted creeds or races?
Many other ethnic and religious people were killed the same way as Jews but nothing said about them
No ! The holocaust is all about cold blooded and on an industrial scale, murder of millions of innocent men, women and children. No matter their sexual orientation, religion or race. Please keep your obtuse and crass opinions to yourself.
It was an incredibly insensitive remark but listening to other people is how we learn and prevent atrocities from happening again. Never take anything at face value, knowledge is power.
She only apologised because of all the outcry, not a genuine apology at all
Not the first time POC get slammed for being beyond ignorant.
Oh dear she sounds demented 🤦🏻♂️
Dear dear! Sadly deluded if she thinks Holocaust wasn’t race related. All entitled to our opinion but this is wrong one on all levels. WhoopiGoldberg
Just looking at the replies to this story. Twitter always hosts several counter views to any story. If you say the sky is blue you will be told 'you fool, you right/left wing something-phobe, the sky is grey'. Same with this story. Such ugliness in the responses.
'Man's inhumanity towards man' a common theme. Common throughout history of conflicts for power gains since before the beginning of recorded time, just about.
I get what she meant, and I agree. The Jews were turned into an alien race in the minds of people, and that irrational belief allowed what followed. The problem is that such othering is still going on. She was not voicing an anti-Semitic view but the opposite.
It is the equivalent of saving that the Rwandan Genocide wasn't about race on the basis that they were both black?
Things that make you say WTF ?
She apologized. Go to her instagram.
Sounds like she said something stupid, then later acknowledged that it was stupid and retracted the remarks. I would hope that people would read the article, but I think it should be clearer that she doesn't stand by the comments.
Then what was it about? The Nazi did not throw all those poor people in those camps for the hell of it!! 🙄
Holocaust was not a crime. It was a war. End those so cold Israel bandit claiming victim! Well, they are good criminal behind Palestine people's. Irak people's die, Afghanistan, Bosnia,Libya, Vietnam, north Korea and more African country. So what so special about this nosence
Wow. Someone needs to take a class or two in German-Jewish history.
Is the WOKE United States is becoming a disease to the world.
😡😡
Wait. What? No outrage mob calling to cancel Whoopi for this misinformation Oh yes, they believe her BS.
Racism and inequalities against women, blacks, hispanics, asians etc still persist. May be it is competition for limited resources that drives the need for power and control over others.
Surely it was about a religion.. and thus people of many races?
Just because she’s in the movie and win an Award or two doesn't mean she’s smart sociologically. Her unconscious bias is that black people are the only race.
What! The Germans don't hate Jews? News to me! But then again the arrogant Germans hate the rest of Europe!
👑 WhoopiGoldberg has been Forgiven ❤🙏🏽 ... so Leave her Alone & Learn moveforward 😌 riseup
I’m reminded of the quote that ends with… “then they came for me and there was no one to speak for me”
my family were German Jews n I think its sad ppl forget it wasn't JUST about 6m Jews, I think to an extent you have to take away the race aspect, gay, gypsy, disabled aspect to understand the true horror of men, women, children, full families being beaten shot burnt gassed
The holocaust was about eradicating everyone that Nazi Germany considered undesirable. This included races such as Jews & Gypsies as well gays & other marginalized people & those who sympathized with them. As a bi-sexual & sympathizer, I could have been sent away as well.
So for her, it's only about race when colored people are involved but when it's about two white races, meh, they just hate each other. That's basically what she said.
She obviously didn't learn the same history that I did 55 years ago at school.
That moment when you realize that you are racist!
