Whoopi Goldberg sparks outrage after saying on 'The View' that 'the Holocaust isn't about race'

The Jews were definitely a different ethnicity, but to the racists of the world as a race meaning separate from them. So they had to be cleansed aka genocide based on them being different. Man is very tribal yes, but you can't just denounce shit that was coming out of Hitler and other nazi's mouths.

They also thought black people were not human so what does what they think really matter?
 
I dunno that this needs to be unpacked that much. Whoopi was wrong. It was explained to her that she was wrong and why she was wrong. She pretty immediately let it be known that she was wrong and apologized.

That's kinda the end of it for me.

Now, about this scrubbing your shower after every use thing...

How she right? We’re Jews not a separate ethnic group? Now yes Hitler included disabled folks and non Jews in his Holocaust but to say it’s not about race but inhumanity is wack. That’s akin to saying slavery wasn’t about race but just exploitation.

Whoopi is an African American woman. Native Germans and the Jews they persecuted would not be seen as different races by the way we define racism in America. It's just a matter of perspective. To Whoopi (and frankly most black people in America), Jews are white, so her point was that the Holocaust wasn't about racism because it was between two groups within the same race.

Now, she's wrong, because Germans didn't see race the way we do. To them, the Jews were another separate and inferior race, and the Holocaust was implemented to destroy that race. So it was most definitely about racism.

What Whoopi said was ignorant, but as usually people are going overboard and lying about what was said. She didn't attack Jews and she didn't downplay the horrors they faced. She just got tripped up on terminology.
