Over the weekend, the Times of London reported that actress, producer and TV commentator Whoopi Goldberg
doubled down on her statements earlier this year that the Holocaust was not about race (and, incidentally, showing that her apology at the time was meaningless:)
Whoopi Goldberg doubled down on her comments that the Holocaust was "not about race," which she made before temporarily being suspended from cohosting the TV talk show "The View" in February.
In a new interview with The Times of London, Goldberg said the Holocaust was not "originally" about race.
"Remember who they were killing first. They were not killing racial; they were killing physical. They were killing people they considered to be mentally defective," she said.
She also questioned whether Jewish people were a "race" compared to herself as a Black person.
"It doesn't change the fact that you could not tell a Jew on a street," Goldberg said. "You could find me. You couldn't find them. That was the point I was making. But you would have thought that I'd taken a big old stinky dump on the table, butt naked."
When Goldberg was asked about the fact that the Nazis classified Jewish people as a race, she responded: "The oppressor is telling you what you are. Why are you believing them? They're Nazis. Why believe what they're saying?"
This is so ignorant that one does not know where to begin.
The two important facts that The View pundit gets completely wrong are:
1. For Nazis, everything was about race.
It is true that the Nazis started their extermination program with the disabled (not only mentally but physically.) But
the reason for that was purely racial: to weed out what Nazis believed were undesirable genetic traits in order to breed a Master Race. It was a trial run for their genocide against Jews, targeted also because of their supposedly inferior genetic traits. (Indeed,
the Jewish disabled were wiped out first.)
2. Race is a social construct that has no bearing on biological reality.
Whoopi Goldberg's question, "Why believe what they are saying?' also applies to her. She believes that race is critically important because it is often visible, but in reality there is no "Black" gene. There are no significant genetic differences between people whose ancestors come from Europe, Asia or Africa, and the genetic variation within each group is larger than between groups.
Goldberg says that Nazi misconceptions about race are meaningless, but anti-Black racist opinions are of the highest importance.
It gets worse. She seems to be saying that Jews in Europe could have blended into the larger population and not have been persecuted. For religious Jews, this would mean cutting off their beards and payos, changing their clothing, language and accents, and abandoning their religion.
That is as offensive as saying that Black people could simply bleach their skin to defeat racism. And in both cases, it wouldn't work.
In fact, Goldberg is being more offensive, because her theory appears to be that the Holocaust was partially the Jews' fault - it was
white people fighting with white people, both sides responsible, and if only the Jews would have acted differently, they would still be alive today.
There is a deeper issue here, though. How does someone as intelligent and accomplished as Whoopi Goldberg believe such stupidity?
And the reason is because she is an antisemitic bigot herself.
When you ask Caryn Elaine Johnson why she chose the stage name "Goldberg,"
she says, "The true story is that my family is Jewish, Buddhist, Baptist and Catholic . . So I took the last name from a Jewish ancestor."
Taking a Jewish name was a career move because Jews control Hollywood.
But there is something deeper here, and it relates to the current flavor of Black antisemitism.
As we have seen in recent years, it has become fashionable in even
mainstream Black circles to claim that
Blacks are the real Jews, making Jews imposters. The logic is not based on facts, but on the idea that victimhood is the coin of the realm and since Jews have been history's most prominent victims, Blacks must be the real Jews.
When being a victim is considered desirable, and anti-Black racism is defined as the ultimate evil, then the Holocaust becomes an ideological roadblock. The Nazi genocide, which dwarfs the evils of slavery by orders of magnitude, is a problem that must be minimized and explained away to maintain the idea that (anti-Black) racism is the alpha and omega of inhumanity.
Goldberg needs the Holocaust to not be about racism, because that means that Jews have been much bigger, much more recent victims of racism than Blacks have been - and that waters down the effectiveness of claiming that everything is about anti-Black racism.
Saying that Jews aren't really Jews and are just other white people also becomes a way for some Blacks to rationalize why Jews went from being a despised minority to a successful group in only one or two generations while most Black people are still at a great disadvantage. It couldn't be that Jews worked hard to transcend anti-Jewish bigotry: that implies that anti-Black racism can be overcome just as anti-Jewish racism was. That is not an acceptable message in a society that values victimhood over accomplishments. Easier to push the lie that white people always accepted Jews as fellow whites.
The irony is that the main purveyors of the new Black antisemitism are some of the richest, most powerful and most famous Black celebrities - the very people who managed to become successful despite racism. The Whoopi Goldbergs, Professor Griffs and Ice Cubes prefer to cut Jews down than to bring their fellow Blacks up.
