...but it's outdone by the Anti-Semitism card.


“Let’s be truthful, the Holocaust isn’t about race, it’s not. It’s about man’s inhumanity to man, that’s what it’s about. These are two groups of white people,” she said on The View on Monday.

She continued: “You’re missing the point … let’s talk about it for what it really is. It’s about how people treat each other. It’s a problem. It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white, Jews … everybody eats each other.”

At least she has apologised


On today’s show I said the Holocaust ‘is not about race, but about man’s inhumanity to man’. I should have said it is about both … I stand corrected

Stunning level of ignorance in the first place though.

Yeah, I noticed that, but I think she sometimes opens her mouth without thinking things through.

Even her choice of stage name is filled with controversy (the surname at least).

Saw this yesterday absolutely disgraceful comments.

I do note her apology but feel it was issued as a result of the backlash she got.

I see ABC News have dropped her for two weeks which seems quite lenient given the circumstances.

I've read her comments multiple times and maybe it's just because there is a lack of context but I'm confused as to what her overall point is anyway.

It's clumsy, badly worded and seems to be speaking for the sake of it.

‘These are two groups of white people’ is really problematic.

[WeeRussell]

Didn’t expect that from her.

Whoopsi Goldberg.
