Whoopi Goldberg said the Holocaust was not about race.\u00a0But that\u2019s not what Adolf Hitler said<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Nazi dictator thought of the Jewish people as a race, and the Holocaust was his final solution to that racial problem. But Goldberg has insisted that it was just between \u201ctwo groups of white people.\u201d<\/p>\n

On an episode of \u201cThe View,\u201d as Goldberg and her co-hosts discussed how a Tennessee school replaced<\/a><\/strong> the Holocaust-inspired graphic novel \u201cMaus\u201d in classrooms due to objections to nudity and graphic language in it, Goldberg began her descent into madness by claiming<\/a><\/strong>: \u201c[T]his is white people doing it to white people, so y’all gonna fight amongst yourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though unchallenged, Goldberg doubled-down by adding: “If you’re going to do this, then let’s be truthful about it because the Holocaust isn’t about race.” This is particularly interesting because Art Spielman, the man behind \u201cMaus,\u201d began the novel with a quote<\/a><\/strong> attributed to Hitler: “The Jews are undoubtedly a race, but they are not human.”<\/p>\n

In an attempt at an apology after receiving widespread criticism, Goldberg acknowledged<\/a><\/strong> she said it was \u201cnot about race but about man’s inhumanity to man\u201d and that she \u201cshould have said it is about both.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Marie<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough Whoopi got it halfway right to say the Holocaust is about man’s inhumanity to man,\u00a0it shows her true viewpoint of Jews as well as that of the mainstream media,\u201d said Project 21<\/a><\/strong> member Marie Fischer<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cShe basically erased the death of over six million Jews to nothing more than a bunch of white people who were killed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marie, an observant Orthodox Jew, added: \u201cI find her statements utterly disgusting especially since she stated<\/a> <\/strong>herself at one point in her life: \u2018I just know I am Jewish. I practice nothing. I don’t go to temple, but I do remember the holidays.\u2019 For her to make such a statement and then to juxtapose it to what Hitler said shows her true ignorance, not only of being a Jew \u2013 as she claims to be \u2013 but her ignorance of history as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

After her comments on “The View,” Goldberg essentially reiterated her on-air comments while appearing on \u201cThe Late Show with Steven Colbert,\u201d while still saying she was sorry for saying them. When Colbert asserted<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0that \u201cthe American experience tends to be based on skin,\u201d Goldberg responded: “Yes, and so that is what race means to me.” She suggested that Nazis \u201ccouldn\u2019t tell who was Jewish\u201d and \u201chad to do the work.\u201d She seemed to ignore the Sephardic<\/a><\/strong> Jews of Spain and North Africa, Yibir<\/a><\/strong> Jews of Ethiopia and Somalia as well as Jewish converts like Marie who are Jewish and not white.<\/p>\n

Another Project 21 member doesn\u2019t think Goldberg\u2019s slight was unintended. In fact, he says, it\u2019s part of a group belief that speaks to the division currently being pushed by the left in America.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cWhoopi Goldberg\u2019s statement was not a mistake. It was a revelation,\u201d said Project 21 member Vince E. Ellison<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cLiberals are, and always have been, the harborers of racial animus in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

While some are saying this may be the end<\/a><\/strong> for the controversial co-host, as far as Goldberg is concerned, she\u2019s over it. She told<\/a><\/strong> Colbert: \u201cDon’t write me anymore; I know how you feel, OK? I already know. I get it. And I’m going to take your word for it and never bring it up again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
