Weird.
Huh, neither do I....I disagree with a lot, but there were things that I even agreed with obama about.

Just pointing out a fact that you hate (dislike ) folks on the right.

One only has to look back to Rosie O'Donnell. Love to hear what she has to say.

If you are white it's cancel culture. If you are black it's two weeks suspended culture.

As for Whoopi.................what a Caryn, or is it Karen..........ummmmm......... Really ?
"Karens" are white.

"Caryns" are black (thank you Whoopi Goldberg a/k/a Caryn Johnson).

Equality in their arrogant, privileged, and entitled attitudes.

and even with that said, Whoopi was still right, the Holocaust was an ethnic cleansing. I just saw 3 multiple videos of rabbis saying jews were not a race. So no i don't think Whoopi should have been suspended. I think this is alot of fake outrage.

Are you under the impression that ethnic cleansing is somehow not as horrendous as racism and really not even serious enough to be discussed on equal footing? Because that message is the real issue with what she said, how she said it, and how she attempted to “apologize” for it.

white on white still includes ethnicity though. why are people being obtuse? it was one white ethnic group genociding another white ethnic group.


Again i ask, why are people being obtuse here?

She never defended hitler, she never downplayed the holocaust, she never denied the holocaust, she used a commonly accepted scope of race and ethnicity. People are clearly making up some overly convoluted excuse to attack her here.

...of course the United States must now be blamed for The Holocaust.

''fake outrage?"...it would just be consistent then with the 99.5% ''outrage'' going on today.

Plus this Rooster among those Hens on The View (with collective IQ under 200) really needs to be sat on. Caryn is a big race baiter so it's about time she got shut-up, even if it's for 2 weeks.

This suspension b.s. is just to keep her out of sight; really, ''spend time to reflect on what you said'' is an appropriate punishment in 3rd grade...surprised she's not tasked with writing out 100x...oh, maybe something like ''whites can be victims''...lol

Caryn Johnson never was the sharpest knife in the drawer though; actually let's make that...never was a sharp knife in the drawer.

You are strawmanning. Ethnic cleansing doesn't mean better or worse than anything. Millions of people still died because of their ethnicity. Do you see how you added your own words here? Nobody, including Whoopi is downplaying the Holocaust, but people are clearly being obtuse about "race" and "ethnicity" just to attack Whoopi.

it is fake outrage. here's a video of a rabbi saying Jewish isn't a race.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2xo32UX_J8

i saw a couple other jewish people saying they weren't a race. This is a lot of fake outrage and people pretending she said a lot of stuff that she never said.


edit: and i didn't say the US is to blame, somebody said black never went through anything like Holocaust, when the reality is what blacks in america went through inspired the Nazis. Lots ofpeople in putting words in people mouths.

Just FYI. You, like Whoopi, are using too narrow of a definition.
Quote:
race
rās
noun
  1. A group of people identified as distinct from other groups because of supposed physical or genetic traits shared by the group. Most biologists and anthropologists do not recognize race as a biologically valid classification, in part because there is more genetic variation within groups than between them.
  2. A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution.
  3. A genealogical line; a lineage.

I think you also need to reconsider who is being obtuse, given the definition.
