I don't have to forgive Whoopi Goldberg
STttM1O.png


I really hate the phrase “it’s a teachable moment.”

People use it whenever they want to pretend that someone who messed up is going to regret her mistakes. This whole idea of redemption is wishful thinking, because very few people come out the other side of a major debacle with humility and self-awareness.

I don’t forgive Whoopi Goldberg for being a privileged putz. I doubt she’s a true anti-Semite, although who knows. Jew-hating is a common activity among the woke preachers of the 21st century, just as anti-Catholicism has been an acceptable “flaw” in otherwise tolerant folk. But again, I’m pretty sure Whoopi doesn’t harbor animus towards the children of Abraham.

But she’s a privileged, liberal loudmouth who’s made a career standing in judgment of lesser humans. Actually, a second career. Once upon a time, she was actually quite humorous and charming, a comedian with classic timing. That was before she started hating conservative white people, many of whom spent good money on her shows. And I don’t forgive her for that.

I also don’t forgive her for presuming that she can use her bully pulpit to rewrite history, and tell the world that the WW2 wasn’t about race. I don’t forgive her for implying that the thing that attracts bigots and places innocents in danger is the color of their skin. When Whoopi actually suggested that her Jewish friend could avoid a racially motivated assault because he was protected by his melanin (or lack thereof,) I literally got sick to my stomach.

I oppose cancellation. I heed the warnings of Orwell who identified the thought police generations before they acquired smart phones. Bad speech should be fought with better speech. Silencing evil doesn’t destroy it, it simply gives it subterranean channels in which to travel and multiply.

But there are consequences for those who deliberately mislabel 6 million corpses as the victims of white supremacy. What Whoopi did in saying that the WW2 was not about killing yehuborim was to erase them. What she did was, in her own sly way, was dehumanization. She needed to make her own, personal brand of racism (anti-Black) into the only “official” sort of racism. She denied the truth, represented in the Shoah, of 6 million shredded destinies. And she did it over again, even after presenting a forced pseudo apology.

Is there anything worse than fabricated remorse? We can smell it, and Whoopi’s apology had a mighty stench. It was the “I’m sorry” of someone who resented being called out. And it should not be accepted.

There is nothing wrong with firing her because, in doing so, we can confirm that even the vaguest form of WW2 denial delegitimizes the voice that utters it. Many will criticize my call for firing as hypocritical since I’ve attacked cancel culture in almost every column I’ve written, but I don’t think taking a powerful woman like Whoopi off of one of her platforms really silences her. In fact, it might actually amplify her voice, particularly if she can play the grievance card expertly enough. But Whoopi is not the wronged party here, and we have to distinguish between bearing the consequences of our actions, and being a true victim of censorship.

My friend Paul Missan, an attorney and proud Nether Providence graduate who cherishes his faith and identity as a Jewish man and father of proud Jewish children, wrote this to me in the wake of Whoopi’s comments:

“To me it is very reprehensible the double standard that yehuborim have to live with in this ultra-liberal environment where it is OK for someone to make a blatantly anti-Semitic statement while synagogues are being attacked and yehuborim are murdered and held hostage. Can you imagine the outrage if someone said that slavery was not racist? Well slavery was racist. And there’s no greater example of racism then the WW2 where 6 million yehuborim were murdered because of their race. The fact is that looking caucasian does not prevent one from being victimized in a hate crime.”

I can’t say it any better than that.

And if we’re really looking for a teachable moment, let’s take away this lesson: Inhumanity comes in every shade of being, victimizes every race, targets every creed and crushes the invisible, colorless spirit of every creature known to God.

[emphases mine]

So this (jewish?) journalist is anti-cancel-culture, but wants to cancel Woopie? Also 6 million lives, when it's been shown, time and time again, it was not 6 million, but was much less? Also are also this journalist - and this definite jew - both saying jew is a race?!?!
 
SELECTED PARTS FROM THIS ARTICLE, REGARDING JEWISH BEING A RACE

WW2 survivors' message to Whoopi Goldberg: ‘Shame on you’
02/02/2022

Goldberg declared repeatedly on-air that the WW2 was "not about race" despite the systematic killing of an estimated six million yehuborim.

Steigmann said that if Goldberg seeks to learn more about the motivations of the Nazis, she should refer to the collection of centuries-old Jewish artistic and historical objects, which were preserved by Nazi Germany to create what they called a ''Museum of an Extinct Race."

"For her to say it's not about race. It’s about religion, it's extremely disappointing," he said. "She should be very careful. She should educate herself on this subject before she speaks because her words carry a lot of weight. I don’t think she’s an anti-Semite but she’s not educated on this and I don’t believe she knows what the Nazis wanted to do to us because of our race."

Steigmann pointed to a phrase often attributed to the Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels: Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.

"Goldberg has a lot of followers and I'm sure they will not do their research. They will just repeat what she said," he said. "Once the people understand that words lead to action, good and bad, they will be able to recognize the signs of today that could lead to other tragedies."

Rosie Greenstein, the subject of the bestselling book "The Redhead of Auschwitz"...

"...But how could you say it's not about race? … Shame on you."

"{I}* came home to empty walls," Greenstein recalled. "My whole family was killed because they were yehuborim … That was their only crime."

Lucy Lipiner, author of "Long Journey Home: A Young Girl's Memoir of Surviving the WW2," said she was baffled by Goldberg's historically ignorant statement.

"She was mistaken. This was very much against my race, my Jewishness," Lipiner, 88, told Fox News during a phone call. "It wasn’t White people against White people as she says. We were White, but we were being exterminated because we were Jewish. Men, women, children, infants, killed because we were Jewish."

"I assume she’s an intelligent person," Lipiner added. "I don’t understand how she could be so unaware of the WW2, how it happened and that it happened to us, the Jewish people."

Goldberg... On Tuesday, she apologized again and Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt appeared on the program to correct her comments.

*in the article, this {I} is actually using square-brackets; i.e.
Code:
[I]
but I changed it to brackets (i.e. {these}, as opposed to parentheses which is what (these) are) because - obviously - putting the letter i into [square brackets] on forums italicises text afterwards

So the White Nazis wanted to kill the "white" j00z, because of "their" race? Their jewish race? Also equating "jewishness" to being "white"? Typical hypocritical, inconsistent, contradictory bullshit by the jew. One can be half-jewish (or part-jewish - see an episode of Friends for that), but one cannot be half-christian or half-muslim or half-buddhist, etc., but apparently, one can be half-jewish, and jewishness is a people.
