    Who determines what is factually wrong (and thus allowed to be censored by the government)? The Lab Leak Theory for the origin of COVID was considered factually wrong misinformation two years ago. Now it is pretty mainstream. It was factually wrong to say the earth orbited the sun, until it wasn't. You want the government to be able to censor these things? What do you imagine Trump's administration would have censored when he was President?

    I am glad she wasnt fired and although she was wrong it was the first time the View didnt blame race.

    She has stated that her stage forename ("Whoopi") was taken from a whoopee cushion: "When you're performing on stage, you never really have time to go into the bathroom and close the door. So if you get a little gassy, you've got to let it go. So people used to say to me, 'You're like a whoopee cushion.' And that's where the name came from."[15]

    About her stage surname, she claimed in 2011, "My mother did not name me Whoopi, but Goldberg is my name—it's part of my family, part of my heritage, just like being black", and "I just know I am Jewish. I practice nothing. I don't go to temple, but I do remember the holidays."[16] She has stated that "people would say 'Come on, are you Jewish?' And I always say 'Would you ask me that if I was white? I bet not.'"[16] One account recalls that her mother, Emma Johnson, thought the family's original surname was "not Jewish enough" for her daughter to become a star.[16] Researcher Henry Louis Gates Jr. found that all of Goldberg's traceable ancestors were African Americans, that she had no known German or Jewish ancestry, and that none of her ancestors were named Goldberg.[12] Results of a DNA test, revealed in the 2006 PBS documentary African American Lives, traced part of her ancestry to the Papel and Bayote people of modern-day Guinea-Bissau. Her admixture test indicates that she is of 92 percent sub-Saharan African origin and of 8 percent European origin.[1

    Does Whoopie even have a fan base? I don't know of any demographic that is a fan of hers, but they must be out there.

    Exactly, in all of this I feel bad for the other groups (not as large obviously) that were also targeted for systematic extinction. I feel we can be respectful to all the groups here and not just dismiss them

    This is just forcing what Whoopi said to fit the SCW partisan narrative. Thus, this is fiction that you are choosing to believe as fact.

    There is an issue with some blacks, (not as much as about 30 years ago), that they believe Jews get more sympathy for their struggles than blacks

    she didn’t say that at all. The comments weren’t about caring, they were about defining racism vs “people being bad to each other” or something like that.
