Whoopi Goldberg has been slammed after repeating her controversial views on the Holocaust in a heated interview.
Whoopi Goldberg has been slammed after she doubled down on controversial comments about Jews and the Holocaust.
Furious viewers are now demanding she be sacked from the US network ABC after she claimed that the Nazi genocide during WWI was not “racial” but rather a form of “white-on-white” crime.
“My best friend said, ‘Not for nothing is there no box on the census for the Jewish race. So that leads me to believe that we’re probably not a race,’” Goldberg told the Sunday Times of London in an interview promoting her new movie “Till,” the New York Post reports.
“It wasn’t originally” about race, Goldberg insisted, noting that the Nazis also killed people they believed to be “mentally defective.”
When interviewer Janice Turner pushed back with a familiar refrain — saying the Nazis considered the Jews to be a race — Goldberg said it was wrong to use their definition.
“The oppressor is telling you what you are. Why are you believing them? They’re Nazis. Why believe what they’re saying?” she insisted.
“It doesn’t change the fact that you could not tell a Jew on a street. 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,” Goldberg continued.
