JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Less than a year after being suspended from hosting “The View” for comments about the Holocaust, ABC producer Whoopi Goldberg made similar remarks on Saturday.

Goldberg, who despite her Jewish-sounding name has no Jewish roots, once again claimed  that the Holocaust was not connected to race. During an interview with the London-based Sunday times, Goldberg claimed the Holocaust was “white on white” violence which had nothing to do with race

“Remember who they were killing first. They were not killing racial; they were killing physical. They were killing people they considered to be mentally defective. And then they made this decision,” she said.

When the interviewer noted that the Nazis viewed their victims as lesser races, Goldberg replied: “Yes, but that’s the killer, isn’t it?”

“The oppressor is telling you what you are,” she continued.” Why are you believing them? They’re Nazis. Why believe what they’re saying?”

Last January, Goldberg was widely criticized for claiming on an ABC talk show that “the Holocaust isn’t about race” but rather about “man’s inhumanity to man.”

“If you’re going to do this, then let’s be truthful about it,” Goldberg said, before elaborating that “these [Jews and Nazis] are two white groups of people.”

In a statement made afterwards, Goldberg said she had made an error with her comment.

“On today’s show, I said the Holocaust “is not about race but about man’s inhumanity to man.” I should have said it is about both,” she tweeted

“As Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League shared, “The Holocaust was about the Nazi’s systematic annihilation of the Jewish people – who they deemed to be an inferior race.” I stand corrected.”

She added: “The Jewish people around the world have always had my support and that will never waiver. I’m sorry for the hurt I have caused.”

Despite her apology, ABC suspended Goldberg for two weeks from hosting her show.

Goldberg, born Caryn Elaine Johnson, has no Jewish ancestry but adopted her stage name to be deliberately Jewish-sounding, in part because she has said she personally identifies with Judaism. She told a London audience in 2016: “I just know I am Jewish. I practice nothing. I don’t go to temple, but I do remember the holidays.” In 2016, she designed a Hanukkah sweater for Lord & Taylor.

I just don’t get this. Whoopi Goldberg, real name Caryn Johnson, is a former stand up comedian, movie actress and is now the chief hen in the hencluck called The View. By any reasonable standard, she is no historian or great thinker. Who CARES what she thinks? We all know what the documented facts are.

I see these wealthy elitist blacks are starting to spread their anti semitic hate. Goldberg, Irving, & West have been pushing their hate for quite some time now but because they are wealthy blacks the corrupt media won’t dare go after them.

BS artist. It started with the Nuremberg laws on Sept 15, 1935, and only later got additions of other people to it. Whoopi is a high school dropout of the most stupid kind.

Imbecile! Firstly, genocide is not a racial issue. Secondly, Mussolini, as ordered by the Austrian, used planes in Ethiopia to war on Africans (why no mention of that?). Thirdly, when you see Jesse Owens being snubbed, do you retch or do you come up with some ludicrous canard.

A whoopee (or whoopie) cushion is a practical joke device involving flatulence humour, which produces a noise resembling human flatulence.The whoopee cushion has reportedly been used since ancient times. Roman Emperor Elagabalus was said to enjoy practical jokes at his dinner parties and often placed whoopee cushions under the chairs of his more pompous guests. The 10th-century Aghlabid emir of Ifriqiya, Ziyadat Allah III, is said to have enjoyed hiding inflated animal bladders under the cushions of his palace for unsuspecting guests to sit on.The modern rubber version was invented in the 1930s by the JEM Rubber Co. of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, by employees who were experimenting with scrap sheets of rubber.The company’s owner approached Samuel Sorenson Adams, inventor of numerous practical jokes and owner of S.S. Adams Co., with the newly invented item; however, Adams thought that it was “too vulgar” and would never sell. JEM then offered the idea to the Johnson Smith Company, which sold it with great success. Adams later released its own version, calling it the Razzberry Cushion.

Why does anyone still watch that show with the witches that lie about all the news they wish to change? If Goldberg weren’t on that show, she wouldn’t have an audience to lie to.

My DNA test said “100% Ashkenazi Jew”. Did not say white, did not say European. Therefore, my race is Jew. Let the fake minority say something to that

What she cannot understand is the there is such a thing as white on white racism. Jews were always hated by others because of their race or religion regardless if the haters were white or black.

What Whoopi cannot comprehend is the concept of white on white racism.

The truth is that she is both right and wrong.

She is wrong because Hitler spoke of Jews as a race.

She is right, though, because his hate was anti-Jewish, and Jews are a religion, not a race.

Yes, it is hard for many of us to grasp the concept that Jews are somehow a distinct race. We Americans feel Judaism is a religion, not a race.

She is right. It wasn’t about skin color. Nor was it about sexual orientation. The thing they were after were Jews. Yes there were other side casualties who were second. But their purpose,?the entire idea of the planning, the in depth methodologies they employed were all to get the Jews. (Ofc they got others they disliked as a tag along) The target was the Jews. That’s white on white unless you call sefardim people of color?
