MEDIA LOSER:
Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi Goldberg has apologized three times now for saying on Monday's The View that the Holocaust was “not about race.” During a segment in which the show’s panelists discussed a Tennessee school board’s removal of the Holocaust graphic novel Maus from its eighth-grade curriculum, Sunny Hostin accused members of the board of “banning discussions about race.” Goldberg said, “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,” she added. “It’s not about race. It’s about man’s inhumanity to man. That’s what it’s about.” “These are two White Groups of people,” she claimed. “Let’s talk about it for what it is, it’s how people treat each other. That’s the problem. It doesn’t matter if you are Black or White, because Black, White, Jews, Italians, everybody eats each other.” Following backlash online, Goldberg issued an apology on Twitter. She then appeared on The Late Show where she told Stephen Colbert she was "very upset that people misunderstood what I was saying." And on today's show she said she regrets her comments and "stands corrected" about the Holocaust. The ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt was on The View today and called for them to "think about having a Jewish host" to avoid things like this in the future. It's good to apologize and to learn. But denying the Holocaust was about race wasn't just a personal failing, it was one that caused harm and served to support anti-Semitic views. It was a failure in judgment and understanding that will take time to make better. |
