Embattled talk show host Whoopi Goldberg didn't seem to stick to her apology for saying the 'Holocaust isn't about race' for very long during an appearance Monday night on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Goldberg, 66, told the late-night host she 'got' why her comments on The View about the Holocaust had angered and upset people - then attempted to explain her logic and justify her remarks.'I feel, being black, when we talk about race it's a very different thing to me,' she began. 'So I said I thought the Holocaust wasn't about race.

Now if she had prefaced her 'apology' by saying, 'As a STUPID person....' we might have been more tolerant of her open mouth. But to be precise, she is not wrong. Just because Hitler THOUGHT Jews were an inferior RACE didn't make him correct eirther. Depending on whose classification is employed, there are 4, 5, or 6 'races' of humanity - Negroid (Black), Australoid (Australian Aborigine and Papuan), Capoid (Bushmen/Hottentots) race, Mongoloid (Oriental/Amerindian), or Caucasoid (White) race. Jew isn't a human race. Jewishness is a religious or cultural distinction.

Every time she speaks, African Americans lose credibility. Taken it from President Lincoln, it’s better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt!

If race is just something you can see, her race is ugly. God awful morbidly obese chimp ugly, made all the worse by being stupid and loud. Gee. maybe she's Joy Behar.

Not that long ago (1994) the Tutsi and the Hutu were murdering one another with machetes just for being of the other tribe.
I bet Whoopie couldn't even tell them apart.
I wonder if either tribe would have protected her?

"As a black person I think of race as being something that I can see."
That's because you are a legitimate racist, Whoopi.

I've been told that "They all look alike" is a racist statement. There are common hereditary traits that culminate in a 'Jewish' appearance. There are even more subtle differences that can indicate Italian, Greek, Norweigan, Scottish, etc. But hey, we just all look alike to this Black Woman. She sees: "NOT BLACK".

Where Whoopi is now where every comedian finds themselves when they don't focus on the funny. She should do a stand up tour to get back to her roots of comedy. People would probably like that better than the constant stream of sanctimony and anger that emanates from her now. Now, Behar, exactly what is she known for? Right, drivel.

'Sparked a backlash worldwide' ? How many watch her in this country much less worldwide. She's a nobody to thinking people.

Oh, I get it. Jews aren't a "race" (she's 100% wrong about that). and in her mind it's white-on-white crime then it's OK. Black-on-white crime is probably justified and does not count for "racist," and the Rwandan genocide was just a "you fight it out among yourselves) issue, since there were no whites to blame it on, except for Bill Clinton, who was a Democrat 'god' at the time.
Categorizing Race through the skin color alone can get dicey. The Melanoderms are the dark-skinned, whereas the Xanthoderms are yellow-skinned, and the Leucoderms are light-skinned people.
But then you might want to consider Nasal forms, which are (i) Leptorrhine, (ii) Mesorrhine and (iii) Platyrrhine. And don't forget the Hair Types, body shape, leg and arm length, eye color, etc., etc.
American blacks better watch out that they don't get too embedded in the "physically observable" to classify "race," since it plays into the hands of the Evolutionist/Eugenic/Nazi theories and movements. It drove the Nazis crazy they couldn't tell Jews from Gentiles by a simple blood test. If they'd had DNA Tests back then then 3/4ths of the entire European continent would have been in concentration camps.

That's why the Nazis made the Jews sew yellow Stars of David on their clothing.

This homely, big-mouthed fool has always been anti-everything except black. Maybe if six million dark-skinned Jews had been massacred she would have taken it more seriously.

Re-read MLK's speeches again Whoopsie. He was hoping for a time when it was about something called CHARACTER, not color. But until you stop thinking color first, you will never get that. And on the subject of genocide, you really shouldn't open your mouth. You participated in the genocide that PP practices on your community at least three separate times by your own claims.
Actually, according to a previous comment, Jewishness is a culture and a religion. It is also considered a unique race, because the Jewish people do have certain traits like susceptibility to certain diseases, which aren't in the rest of the white population.

But she has demonstrated the she doesn't seem to be able to "see" it.
Racism is just crayon colors to her.
