What's the difference in whoopi's statement and roseann bars

Whoopi should be fired.
Sharon Osbourne was fired for less.

I honestly can't understand why anyone would watch that show.
I also can't understand why she doesn't get slammed for cultural appropriation since her real name is Caryn Elaine Johnson.

Just to be clear, what Goldberg said was that the genocide was “not about race”; it was instead about “man’s inhumanity to man.” And it involved “two white groups of people.”

In one sense, she's completely wrong on that first point: as far as the Nazis were concerned, Jews were a malign, sub-human race that should be systematically exterminated. So it was definitely one of the most extreme demonstrations of racism you can possibly imagine.

In another sense, she's completely right: Judaism is a religion, not a race in the sense that most people define that term. Although one is born a Jew if your mother is Jewish, literally anyone can become a Jew if they're willing to jump through the right hoops. And, as a matter of fact, one can be Jewish without accepting any one particular set or beliefs of conforming to one particular set of observances. Einstein definitely considered himself Jewish and he was definitely seen as one by others (including the Nazis), but his involvement with the religion was minimal.

There are some religions which do not accept converts, so all the members of the religion were born to parents who were also members. Zoroastrianism is one I know of. Obviously, that means the members of the religion are all from a limited genetic pool, so the potential for the group to develop certain distinguishing physical characteristics exists (which most people would consider a defining characteristic of a race), but I don't recall ever hearing someone refer to a "Zoroastrian race".

It seems to me that what's really going on is a combination of lots of people being very confused about what pigeon-hole Jews belong in combined with the social media performative outrage machine grinding into overdrive because Goldberg didn't limit what she said to, "The Nazis were evil. The Holocaust happened and it was evil." Loads of people these days have only the sketchiest understanding of 20th Century history, and lots of people simply can't cope with nuance. So you end up with people who claim to detest fascism apparently adopting a fundamental tenet of National Socialism: that Jews are indeed a race.

I blame fucking Twitter.

Because Whoopi is on the team of the mob that runs the social media companies and hollywood.

Shes said worse remember when the hollywood director Roman Polanski fled the country because he got caught raping those kids and she said "it wasnt like RAPE RAPE" and Oprah even said about it "sometimes kids even find it pleasurable". They take up for their own.

The lunatic followers will say "that is conspiracy theory they didnt say that" even though its on video and you can easily find it. It was said on their shows. People are so fuckin crazy these days.

I would say I dont think she should be fired over it but she is the one advocating for canceling others for their speech. So the rules should also apply to her. Maybe she will see the error in cancel culture now and fight against it. But I doubt it.

Whoopi scares me
