Whoopi Goldberg Apologizes For Bonehead Holocaust Statement
The media and social media came down on Ms. Goldberg, hard, after she said the holocaust wasn’t about race in a segment on The View.
“The Holocaust isn’t about race. No, it’s not about race, It’s about man’s inhumanity to man,” she said. When one of her cohosts pointed out it was about going after Jews and Gypsies, she replied, “But these are two groups of white people,” retorted Goldberg. “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. It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white because black, white, Jews, Italians, everybody eats each other.”
People are calling for Joe Rogan to apologize for her.
