********************

Peter David - Whoopi Goldberg screwed up. She realized it, profoundly apologized for it and, oh yeah, CHOSE the Jewish sounding name of Goldberg. She was also a friend of Harlan, so how about we move on.

Nelson Hernandez - Please, she gets a free pass because she is from the left. Anyone else would have been fired.

Cancel culture is a sickness.

Christopher P. Hunt - @Nelson… Like Carhartt and Maus? Yeah...us libtards did that...

Jerry Chandler - @Nelson… Really? Anyone else? So, how many times over the many years she was on that show did Meghan McCain say incredibly stupid and outrageous things with a right leaning spin to them?

It's one thing for you to make an incorrect claim about a theoretical, but it's laughable to make such a claim about a show that gave us years of Meghan McCain's moments.

Nelson Hernandez - @Christopher… Whoopi should read it.

Nickolas Furr - So should most conservatives.

Nelson Hernandez - @Nickolas… Only the left think like this.



Nickolas Furr - Most of humanity thinks like this. We have a sickness in this country that denies it: conservatism.

Nelson Hernandez - @Nickolas… Well, that is the left talking right there, and Whoppi isnt a conservative, sooo.....

Nickolas Furr - Wow. This conversation really went over your head FAST, didn't it? You should reread this whole sub-thread.

I'm not talking about Whoopi. She actually seems contrite and I'm not worrying about her anymore. I am referring to the soul-sick and deranged idiots that go by the term "conservatives" and say things like, "oNLy tHe LeFt tHiNkS rAcIsM eXisTs," like you did.

Nelson Hernandez - @Nickolas… I will go back to talk about Whoppi. I notice you just want to talk about conservatives, and I dont care. Whoppi isnt a conservative. And again the left think, like Whoppi that racism is just black people and white people.



Muhammad Rasheed - @Nelson… 'Racism' within the United States of America, is absolutely about the ongoing economic oppression of the Black American former slave class by the dominant white identity group. Our centuries old peculiar 'race relations' conflict has never been solved because whites have refused to share wealth, land and rule with us -- that's the nature of the conflict. Remember, your group's response to the SCOTUS' Brown vs Board of Education decision was 'white flight,' to take your quality education toys and run to prevent desegregation of the schools, and the ever-complicit US gov just allowed you to do it into the present day.

Yet the position folk like you take is that 'racism has been solved and we are all equal in the USA' just because racism is technically illegal. This attitude is part of a long-con racketeering grift scheme against my people, which makes you a cancer upon society preventing true progress.

David Gerrold - Many years ago, I heard a story, I don't know if its true -- but the essence of it was that in Africa, the people saw WWII as white people killing white people.

I don't know what Whoopi was thinking, but I wonder if she couldn't see that the Holocaust was about the German perception of Jews as a race, because her own experience is that race is black and white.

But yeah, she does need a break.

Linda Robinett - @David… if I am examining the actions of people, I check their motives. A thinking person would ask, why did the Nazis kill Jews? A simple Google would have revealed that they thought the Jews were a different species and not real humans. Sounds like racism to me sine this is what white racists think of Black people. So her ignorance is inexcusable and kind of weird

Muhammad Rasheed - Linda wrote: "A simple Google would have revealed that they thought the Jews were a different species and not real humans."

lol Is that what they really thought, or was that the propaganda they invented to justify the evil? Obviously, it was the latter so the issue wasn't a "racism" problem at even a basic level since the Nazis and the European Jewish victims were all of the "European white race."
 
Rigel Ailur - @Muhammad... "lol" really? So you find something in this subject worthy of laughter?

What you are calling "obvious" is 100% wrong Jews have been treated as a separate race for centuries. Nazis did nothing new by attacking them.

Muhammad Rasheed - Rigel wrote: "'lol' really? So you find something in this subject worthy of laughter?"

To be precise, I found something in Linda's comment worthy of laughing-out-loud, i.e., the "simple Google search" foolishness.

Rigel wrote: "What you are calling 'obvious' is 100% wrong"

That's a lie.

Rigel wrote: "Jews have been treated as a separate race for centuries."

Portions of the Jewish community have often set themselves apart from the greater communities they've lived among, but that doesn't mean they were "treated as a separate race" which is ridiculous when they were light-skinned, Caucasian phenotype Europeans living among other light-skinned, Caucasian phenotype Europeans. You're playing very loose & free with your use of the word "race." Do you have a problem with the definition the Jewish scholars themselves are using at the ADL?

Muhammad Rasheed - David wrote: "I don't know what Whoopi was thinking [...] because her own experience is that race is black and white."

Note that the definition of "racism" that this Nelson Hernandez guy keeps posting comes from the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith themselves. lol Since the Jewish community themselves are defining the term along the lines of Black American racial oppression history that makes Whoopi's comment objectively true and not at all an attack against them, then why treat her like an enemy for her comment?


Deborah Fishburn - It's very American to assume the only thing that defines race, is skin colour. Africa has lots of 'races', all of whom are black.

Given that race is a ridiculous concept, designed to allow exclusion, and that all the definitions are wrong (we are all humans, indistinguishable from each other), defining race by skin colour is just as silly as defining it by your mother's religious upbringing.

Either you should allow for everyone's definition of race as a distinguishing feature to be valid, or you shouldn't. You don't get to decide whose definition to accept. Accept all of them, or none.

Muhammad Rasheed - Deborah wrote: "Africa has lots of 'races', all of whom are black."

Are you using "race" in place of "ethnic group?"

Deborah wrote: "Given that race is a ridiculous concept, designed to allow exclusion"

"Race" isn't the ridiculous concept. Discriminating against people for your own group's socio-economic gain is the ridiculous concept.

Deborah wrote: "and that all the definitions are wrong"

They are only wrong when they are deliberately used to mislead people for one group's socio-economic gain.

Deborah wrote: "(we are all humans, indistinguishable from each other)"

The One God said we were all created differently so we may learn from one another. Your personal philosophy doesn't make any sense.

Deborah wrote: "defining race by skin colour is just as silly"

Racial phenotype is defined using several physical traits, including hair texture, and fullness of varying facial features and other parts.

Deborah wrote: "as defining it by your mother's religious upbringing."

If one mother is teaching her kid to shoot up a church full of people her culture has indoctrinated itself into hating versus another mother who teaches her kid to be just & fair to everyone, I would think defining people thusly would hold great value.

Deborah wrote: "Either you should allow for everyone's definition of race as a distinguishing feature to be valid, or you shouldn't. You don't get to decide whose definition to accept. Accept all of them, or none."

You are advocating for people to randomly make up definitions for words as they see fit, which means your position lacks both logic & reason.

B. Clay Moore - I'd like to have seen this evolve into a discussion about race, ethnicity and religious identity, and maybe enlighten people on how systematically the Nazis worked to push the narrative that Jews were a separate, lesser "race," and how heavily they leaned into physical stereotypes while attempting to demonize an entire population. Sort of answer the questions raised by Goldberg's statements. Because I think a lot of people have zero grasp on any of these things, and they might reflexively agree with Goldberg's observation that "race" is technically different from ethnicity or religious identity. Explaining that we still echo the language the Nazis used to describe their persecution of Jews because that was the term they used to back their efforts to literally exterminate an entire ethnic group. But we don't really do discussion these days.

Muhammad Rasheed - B. Clay wrote: "how systematically the Nazis worked to push the narrative that Jews were a separate, lesser 'race'"

That's very different from them actually being a separate race.

B. Clay Moore - Exactly.

Tony Palmieri - Lol not even close to the punishment she deserves. Others would have been fired. Can’t do that in February though. We all know this.

Stig Å. Carlsson - @Tony Palmieri, Jailed for life, or........., lollollol

Muhammad Rasheed - Tony wrote: "We all know this."

We all know what? The Black American former slave class remains both politically disenfranchised and economically excluded. Symbolic gestures like fed holidays don't equal a political protected class like what the Jewish community enjoy.

Rigel Ailur - @Muhammad... You're still mistaken. Jewish people have been *driven out* of various places throughout history. "set themselves apart" is victim blaming.

It sounds like you are making the same error Goldberg did, but instead of *listening* to others and *learning* from history like she did, you are stubbornly doubling down and clinging to your mistake.

Whether through ignorance or malice (or some combination of the two) your posts are sounding more and more antisemitic.

Muhammad Rasheed - @Rigel... I didn't mean "driven out" when I said "set themselves apart." I meant having a community of Jewish people within the greater community they moved to.

Rigel wrote: "Whether through ignorance or malice (or some combination of the two) your posts are sounding more and more antisemitic."

I'm not antisemitic. Your posts sound like you are reading off a script and you don't care about the actual subject, you just want to shove your script down people's throats. As A Black American, I've had enough of that from selfish white people.

Catherine Yronwode - @Muhammad... [ARTICLE] A genome-wide genetic signature of Jewish ancestry perfectly separates individuals with and without full Jewish ancestry in a large random sample of European Americans | Genome Biology

Muhammad Rasheed - @Catherine... So, the Nazis were trying to force the false narrative that the Jewish community were a separate race for their villainous purposes. Are you trying to find confirmation bias spin jobs in the scientific literature to likewise push such a narrative because you identify with the Nazi cause?

I guess we've magically decided the Nazis somehow had a point when you're trying to appropriate Civil Rights Movement Protected Class models for yourself while continuing to use gradualism/paternalism rhetoric and political schemes to keep the Black ethnic group you got the concept from economically excluded from American life, huh?

Carnot Antonio Romero - @Muhammad... quick detail: the bit about defining "race" as based on "your mother's religious upbringing" is specifically a reference to the idea that you aren't Jewish unless your mother was Jewish. (Paternity being hard to prove once upon a time...)

Muhammad Rasheed - Carnot wrote: "quick detail: the bit about defining 'race' as based on 'your mother's religious upbringing'"

Should I consider it a coincidence that the U.S. chattel slave class was by law made to pass their slave status down through their children through the mother since the slave holders fathered new slaves with rape after the trans-atlantic restrictions were put in place? They were getting the inspired concept from somewhere, aye?

Rigel Ailur - @Muhammad... I know you meant "set apart" *instead of* "driven out". And that's the problem. Because they aren't the same thing, and it's the "driven out" that shows they're a target.

"shove my script" You know that's a dog whistle, right? Attempting to diminish what someone says by calling it a "script" or an "agenda" and saying they are attempting to "force" it on poor innocent others. I'm responding to what you're posting, nothing more, and nothing less.

Standing up for Jews makes me "selfish"? Interesting perspective. Regardless, I will continue to do so, just like I stand up for all minorities including blacks. It is equally unacceptable when racists claim blacks are at fault and make themselves targets. I'm equally vocal that that is bullshit.

Muhammad Rasheed - Rigel wrote: "I know you meant 'set apart' *instead of* 'driven out'"

Do you? Because you specifically conflated the two in order to force a fake point.

Rigel wrote: "And that's the problem. Because they aren't the same thing"

You think?

Rigel wrote: "and it's the "driven out" that shows they're a target."

My people have been exploited/plundered for a continuous 400 yrs now. That's what being a target looks like in the modern era.

Rigel wrote: "'shove my script' You know that's a dog whistle, right?"

I know it's what you're doing every time you post at me.

Rigel wrote: "Attempting to diminish what someone says"

It was diminished when I found it.

Rigel wrote: "by calling it a 'script' or an 'agenda' and saying they are attempting to 'force' it on poor innocent others."

I'm the referenced 'innocent other' and you are assaulting me with your commitment to nonsense.

Rigel wrote: "I'm responding to what you're posting, nothing more, and nothing less."

Meanwhile, you've committed to doubling-down on your dog-eared scripted agenda or whatever for 'Likes' from your brethren.

Rigel wrote: "Standing up for Jews makes me 'selfish?'"

No. Standing up for grift schemes does though. For the usual reasons.

Rigel Ailur - You're not even maintaining any semblance of logic any more. Grift? You're calling the Holocaust a "grift"? Or you're calling acknowledging Jews are victims of racism a grift? Either stance is profoundly wrong. Not just incorrect, but morally wrong.

Poor you, being called out for antisemitism when all you're doing is saying Jews aren't *really* targets, and aren't a race, and how dare they complain when they weren't enslaved like Blacks, and have the temerity to sometimes prefer keeping to themselves.

First, it's not a competition among *any* minorities.

Second, learn something from Goldberg's apology and from those here, especially Jewish people, explaining to you why almost everything you've said is antisemitic despite your empty claims to the contrary.

All your doubling down just makes you look doubly ignorant—deliberately so, at this point.

Muhammad Rasheed - Rigel wrote: "You're not even maintaining any semblance of logic any more."

So, you're incapable of understanding logic. Got it.

Rigel wrote: "Grift? You're calling the Holocaust a 'grift?'"

No. I'm calling appropriating the Civil Rights Movement Protected Class status created for the Black American former slave class for yourself while continuing to economically oppress Black Americans with gradualism/paternalism racist rhetoric the grift scheme. Try to keep up.

Rigel wrote: "Or you're calling acknowledging Jews are victims of racism a grift?"

To be clear, white people deciding to go along with "separate race" Nazi propaganda so they can grift the Civil Rights Movement is a grift scheme.

Rigel wrote: "just like I stand up for all minorities including blacks."

You might stand up for communist Chinese and Black immigrants. You've never stood up for the Black American former slave class.

Rigel wrote: "It is equally unacceptable when racists claim blacks are at fault and make themselves targets. I'm equally vocal that that is bullshit."

I have zero reason to believe you ever do that. You are a liar.

Michael Lovins - Everyone misspeaks now and then. My issue is that the holocaust was racial. Ethnic.

Raymond Tyler - @Michael... I would have accepted if she initially said "It was racial but not racist"
Or better yet decided to comment on the children of color in cages in the name of immigration or the school to prison pipeline

Muhammad Rasheed - @Michael... She didn't "misspeak." Her point was that the tragedy of the Holocaust had greater application as an example of humans being evil to other humans. This is objectively true. The blowback she received is based on the Jewish community presenting itself as a Civil Rights Movement Protected Class expressed as a 'thought police' monopoly on how their tragedy is allowed to be used in mass media.

The disturbing part of this whole controversy is that the Civil Rights Movement Protected Class speak the Jewish community is aping in this situation was originally created for Whoopi's own ethnic group, who today still has that status withheld from them (see: Reparations; Economic Inclusion).
