ABC suspends Whoopi Goldberg over Holocaust remarks
ABC News suspended “The View” host Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks on Tuesday night, hours after she apologized for having falsely declared on the daytime program that the Holocaust was “not about race.”
Whoopi Goldberg is paying a price for her ignorance:
She dropped out of Washington
Irving High School in New York and, apparently, hasn’t been in a classroom since.
Caryn Elaine Johnson, known professionally as Whoopi Goldberg, is an American actor, comedian, author, and television personality. A recipient of numerous accolades, she is one of 16 entertainers to win an Emmy Award, a Grammy Award, an Academy Award, and a Tony Award. Wikipedia
She’s 67 years old. With all of her exposure and experience, you would think that she knows better.
Given the social mood and political climate, this is not a propitious way to begin Black History Month.

It was such a woefully self-absorbed thing to do,

She went waaay beyond self-absorbed…
….And more than just a bit over the top…

Thanks for this one, Ron. I appreciate it. I’m generally a fan of Whoopi’s but certainly not of this.

Kosh, it’s usually the people with the least amount of knowledge who are the loudest and most vociferous when speaking on something about which they know absolutely nothing.
