American actress Whoopi Goldberg has again doubled down on her controversial views that the Holocaust was “not about race.”
In an interview with The Sunday Times of London, the actress discussed the topic that got her suspended as co-host of ABC talk show “The View” for two weeks earlier this year. Back in February she said on air that the Nazi genocide of six million Jews during World War II was an event that involved “two white groups of people” that “wasn’t about race.”
She issued an apology at the time, but her most recent remarks show she has not changed her opinion on the subject. Goldberg said in the interview with Times columnist Janice Turner that the Holocaust “was not originally” about race, referencing the Nazi eugenics program.
“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.”
When challenged on this assertion by pointing out that the Nazis examined “Jewish features” such as nose size and head shape as part of their racial science that saw Jews as an inferior race, Goldberg responded: “They did that to black people too. But it doesn’t change the fact that you could not tell a Jew on a street. You could find me. You couldn’t find them.”
Goldberg said that the question of Jews being a race or not should not be defined by how the Nazis viewed Jews. It was in response to a question pointing out that the Nazis saw Jews as a race.
“Yes, but that’s the killer, isn’t it? The oppressor is telling you what you are. Why are you believing them? They’re Nazis. Why believe what they’re saying?”

What the heck is the meaning of: “They were not killing racial; they were killing physical.” It seems to be the common assumption that ‘race’ deals exclusively with color which the word itself has never meannt in its totality, a breed, family, tribe, people or nation belonging to the same stock. Color might be one way of defining race but it is not the only one. The Jewish people have always been referred to as race, sharing the same religion, the same ancestor, Abraham. Does having the name Goldberg make her a member of the Jewish race?
To the Democrat Party cult and their followers, Race, Gender, Truth, Facts, Reality and History are all irrelevant, if the Democrats do not WANT to believe them or they disagree with them. Democrats will just make up their own, Race, Gender, Truth, Facts, Reality and History to fit what they WANT to believe or fits into the Con or Deception that they are running at the time.
Democrats believe their own self-fabricated lies and deceptions.
Whoopi Goldberg is defiantly a self-righteous Democrat!
Goldberg is a 2 ounce-brained idiot.
You give her too much credit. I think you’d need a scanning electron microscope to even stand a vague chance of finding a single functioning brain cell inside her cranium.
Now that, my friend, is priceless! 😀
Even then if you DID find brain cells, i doubt they’d be Functioning!
No one will ever convince racist Whoopi that she doesn’t know everything there is to know. Just ask her.
She is right on this one. While some newspapers (Der Sturmer, for instance) considered Jews sub human, Hitler’s main beef was that Jews generally grouped up, owned a disproportionate number of businesses, treated their group with favoritism by limiting lending rates etc (per their religion, of course) and the main reason was they were almost all Communists in the Red party. While Hitler considered the Arians superior he did not consider other races sub human. Jews were white, but not pure. One interesting thing Woopee should know is that Hitler prided himself on instituting a great eugenics and physical fitness program. In the 1936 German Olympics regardless that Avery Brundage trashed two Jews, (Glickman and Stoller) to let two black men win medals (Owens and Metcalfe) thus showing his stripes, Hitler brought back and featured a Jewish fencer who won a silver. Germany also won more medals than the USA 101 to 57, more golds, silvers, and bronzes by far. (to watch our media you would think only black runners from the USA won medals) Hitler produced some of the greatest athletes who were most all blond white and German. We had diversity! He had athletes and beat us badly having only 1/5 the population too! Even then so long as you weren’t Jewish, I guess. I am not sure what Goldberg is about on this one. The USA trashed Jews and Hitler put one on his team and even congratulated Owens.
To take the liberty of paraphrasing the great General George S. Patton, ” Whoopi Cushion Goldberg knows about as much about the Holocaust as she knows about keeping her big fat mouth shut!”
Why does anyone give a Schiff what this clown thinks or says ?!?
I hate to tell Whoopy Gouldberg that slavery was also not about race, so there you have it, lady.
Slavery has hit EVERY “Race” (ethnicity) out there..
To quote the immortal Rush Limbaugh talking about Cher. “She is a glimmering jewel of colossal ignorance.” But glimmering jewel would imply a certain level of beauty which Whoopi has none inside or out. So let’s just say she’s colossally ignorant.
They were Killing the Jews because they were Jesus,s People just like the King killed the boys that were born then to try and be sure to Kill Moses but fail to get him and as God would do it a Maiden found him and got his own Mother to Nurse Him too and also they tried again to Kill Jesus the same way too but Failed . and that why they were Killing the Jews Period
What point could Whoopi be possibly making anyway? Was she trying to have a victimology contest? Her point could not have clarified anything, even if nobody bothered to question it.
