Whoopi Goldberg Apologizes For Saying ‘Racially Unrelated Massacre’

Whoopi Goldberg sorry for her anti-Semitic comments.

Legendary actress Whoopi Goldberg apologized to the Jewish community after making some insensitive comments about the Holocaust. On an episode of See, the presenter stated that the historical event had nothing to do with race. Her apology, posted on Twitter, read:

“On today’s show, I said the Holocaust ‘is not about race, it’s about man’s inhumanity to man.’ I should say it’s about both. As Jonathon Greenblatt from the Anti-Defamation League shared, “The Holocaust was about the systematic extermination of the Jews by the Nazis, whom they considered an inferior race.” I stand to correct. ”

It continues:

“Jews around the world have always had my support and it will never give up. I apologize for the hurt I have caused.

Writing with my sincerest apologies,

Whoopi Goldberg.”

During a discussion about the Tennessee school district’s decision to withdraw a Holocaust book from the curriculum, Whoopi stated:

“Let’s be honest about it because the Holocaust has nothing to do with race. It’s not about race. It’s not about race. It’s about the inhumanity of man to man. “

When Whoopi’s co-host Ana Navarro mentioned that “it’s about white supremacists going after the Jews,” Whoopi answered:

“But these are two groups of white people! When you turn it into a race, it goes down this alley. Let’s talk about it for what it is. That’s how people treat each other. It doesn’t matter whether you’re black or white, Jew, it’s all together.”

Many people, from Jewish leaders to everyday internet users, were upset by her comments.
