Whoopi Goldberg Doubles Down on Claim the Holocaust Wasn’t ‘Racial,’ Calling It ‘White on White’ Violence

Whoopi Goldberg, comedian and TV host, claimed that the Holocaust was not racial and was instead an example of “white-on-white” violence. This is because both Nazis (and Jews) are white people.

Goldberg was fired from her role as co-host of “The View” two weeks ago after making similar comments during an episode.

Goldberg, in an interview with Sunday Times, lamented the outrage she caused back then and said that the claim that Jews weren’t the victims of racism during World War II was correct.

“Remember who they were first killing. They weren’t killing racial people, they were actually killing physical. They were killing mentally ill people. They made that decision,” she stated.

Goldberg replied to the interviewer’s assertion that Nazis didn’t view Jews as white people, but as subhuman races, saying “Yes, but that is the killer.”

She continued, “The oppressor is telling your what you are,” she said. Why are they believing you? They’re Nazis. They are Nazis. Why should you believe them?

She said, “It doesn’t change the fact you couldn’t tell a Jew in a street.”

“You could find my. They couldn’t be found. She said that was what I meant to say, before pointing out that the outrage was excessive. You would have thought I was taking a big stinky dump on the floor, butt naked.”

Goldberg stated that “the Holocaust wasn’t about race” but that it was an example “man’s inhumanity towards man” in a January episode of “The View”.

Breitbart News reported that she turned to her co-hosts to ask them to tell the truth about the Holocaust and to admit that Jews are “two white groups of people”.

Goldberg, who altered her name to sound Jewish, despite not having any Jewish ancestry at all, later apologized on-air, saying that words mattered and that she “stands by the Jewish people.”

However, Goldberg appeared on “The Late Show” with Steven Colbert shortly after the scandal broker and appeared to retract her apology. Colbert was told by Goldberg:

The Nazis lied. The Nazis lied about their ethnicity issues, not about race. Most of the Nazis were white and the majority of those they attacked were white. To me, that means I am thinking, “How can you say it is about race if people are fighting each other?” And so, it all started when I said, “This wasn’t about racial,” and everyone said, “No, no! No, it was racial.”

Goldberg’s decision to make a double-take on the claim in both her interview with Colbert as well as in the Sunday Times interview shows that she was not sincere in her apology.
