“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg’s insensitivity toward the Jewish people apparently dates back to at least the 1990s.This week ABC placed the star on a two-week suspension after she claimed the Holocaust, which resulted in the deaths of six million Jews, was “not about race.” As a brief refresher, Nazi German leader Adolf Hitler wanted to establish a master Aryan race. His plan included exterminating all the Jews, whom he viewed as “parasitic vermin,” according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.So it was very much about race. However, it was not the first time Goldberg has been called out for less-than-stellar statements about Jewish people.
In 1993, Goldberg submitted a recipe for a charity cookbook called “Jewish American Princess Fried Chicken.”
A Jewish American Princess is a pejorative stereotype of a Jewish American woman who is “portrayed as materialistic, selfish, and from a pampered or wealthy background,” according to TVtropes.org.
Goldberg’s chicken recipe reads: “Send chauffeur to your favorite butcher shop for the chicken (save the brown paper bag). Have your cook
1) Melt equal parts oil and butter 3/4 deep in skillet over moderate heat.
“2) Put flour, seasoned with remaining ingredients, into brown paper bag.
3) Rinse chicken parts and place in bag. Then you tightly close top of bag (watch your nails) and shake 10 times.
“Hand bag to Cook, go dress for dinner. While you dress, have Cook preheat oven to 350 degrees and brown chicken slowly in skillet. When evenly browned, have Cook place chicken in dish in oven. Have Cook prepare rest of meal while you touch up your makeup.”
And the recipe concluded, “In about half an hour, voila! Dinner is served! You must be exhausted.”
Abraham Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League at the time, didn’t find her recipe funny, the Jewish Telegraph Agency reported.
“It’s a lousy recipe with insensitive and anti-Semitic ingredients. Whoopi should know better,” he said.
“She needs some sensitivity training, unfortunately. The good people who published it need some sensitivity training too,” Foxman added.
Goldberg’s publicist, Brad Cararelli responded to the controversy telling the New York Daily News that “maybe [the critics] are not aware that Whoopi is Jewish, so she is certainly not anti-Semitic.”
In 1994, Goldberg mentioned her Jewish heritage in an interview with The Orlando Sentinel, explaining her “Jewish American princess fried chicken” recipe was meant to be tongue-in-cheek.
“I am a Jewish-American princess,” she told the news outlet. “That’s probably what bothers people most. It’s not my problem people are uncomfortable with the fact that I’m Jewish.”
Three years later, in 1997, Goldberg, whose birth name is Caryn Johnson, made clear she does not practice the Jewish faith, but once again stated she has Jewish ancestry.
“My family is Jewish, Buddhist, Baptist and Catholic — none of which I subscribe to, by the way, as I don’t believe in man-made religions – so I took the last name for a Jewish ancestor. And I happen to be gaseous, which explains the first name, short for whoopee cushion,” she told The Baltimore Sun.
The Daily Mail reported, “Whoopi has told in the past of choosing her stage name and Goldberg because her mother thought it would ‘get it further in Hollywood.’”
Journalist Eve Barlow told the news outlet that notion plays into two anti-Semitic tropes: that Jews ‘run’ Hollywood and they help each other to get jobs.
“We know the story of the origin of Whoopi Goldberg’s surname. She had ingested this very popular idea among people who come from the school of thought of Louis Farrakhan and the Black Hebrew Israelites that the Jews run Hollywood,” Barlow said.
“She changed her name to Goldberg because she thought it would open more doors for her in Hollywood,” she added.
Interestingly, Goldberg did not mention her Jewish ancestry when she apologized for her controversial Holocaust comments on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” Monday night, nor on “The View” the following day.
Goldberg said that people misunderstood her words and that she is not anti-Semitic, nor a Holocaust denier.
She also tried to draw the distinction between race and ethnicity, saying that since both the Germans and the Jewish people are white, she really did not see the Holocaust as a racial issue.
“I understand that everyone doesn’t see it this way,” Goldberg said.
On Tuesday’s “The View,” she stated, “So yesterday on our show, I misspoke.”
“I said that the Holocaust wasn’t about race and it was instead about man’s inhumanity to man. But it is indeed about race, because Hitler and the Nazis considered the Jews to be an inferior race.
“Now, words matter and mine are no exception. I regret my comments as I said and I stand corrected. I also stand with the Jewish people, as they know, and as you all know because I’ve always done that,” Goldberg said.
Let’s take Goldberg at her word: that she sincerely apologizes for misspeaking about the Holocaust.
But she does have a history of traveling into anti-Semitic territory.
Hopefully, she’s learned her lesson.

And recall, in 2012, she accuse Israel of “massacring Palestinians.”
@Sebastian Zorn
The comparison is not valid.
We should be able to focus our efforts where it really counts and quit fruitless and harmful to ourselves efforts to punish Whoopis.
Success is the best revenge – I mean building our own state and moving there which fulfills the ancient prophecies.
Taking revenge on Whoopi, et al. shows our helplessness and despair rather than “our collective muscle” and promotes more Jew hatred than Whoopi could ever incite.
How about using “our collective muscle” on this man who thinks that instead of making aliyah the Jews of the Diaspora should cope with rising antisemitism [?!?!?!].
Do you think he is fit to be Israel’s Minister of Diaspora Affairs?
How about using “our collective muscle” to dismantle organizations like Peace Now, and anti-Israel NGOs?
How about using “our collective muscle” to stop anti-Jewish apartheid in Israel and Judea and Samaria (google Regavim for more information)?
How about using “our collective muscle” to make the so-called Zionist and Jewish defense organization to start using the word aliyah again?
I’m glad he calls her a racist but I think she should be fired and blacklisted (no pun intended.)
@Reader A laudible sentiment but surely we should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time, no?
@Sebastien Zorn
No, but I am planning to be.
And I wish all the Jews of the Diaspora would make plans to move there instead of waiting for the next Holocaust and in the meanwhile trying to punish Whoopis.
@Reader
Do you live in Israel? Are you there, now?
@Sebastian Zorn
The US president has nothing to do with the strategy of the US government.
You put too much emphasis on personalities as though the US presidents get to make their own decisions.
Every Israeli government is under the heel of the US.
Recall that Trump was pushing The Deal of the Century which would create a “Palestinian” state on 70% of Judea and Samaria and the whole of Gaza connected together with a tunnel which would cut Israel in the middle horizontally.
That didn’t work, so now they are pushing the “Beilin’s” initiative which is even worse and arming our enemies.
All these efforts to “restrain the antisemites in the Diaspora” are fighting the windmills while our enemies are trying to destroy Israel.
It doesn’t do anything, it is BS, it creates more antisemitism, and it is too little, too late.
People who bitch about antisemitism in the Diaspora could do something a lot more constructive by filling an aliyah application.

@Sebastien Zorn
I am not going to give Roseanne Barr extra points when she says idiotic stuff about “the ovens” just because she is Jewish.
I also don’t think that the excuse “A Jew cannot be an antisemite” is true.
I personally know some Jews who can’t stand the rest of the Jews which doesn’t make any sense unless you put them into the “self-hating” category.
I am Jewish and my parents and grandparents and a couple of their brothers and sisters managed to survive the war..
However, their extended families from Poland are all gone and its a lot of people because my great-grandparents had lots of children.
I think that this “racism hunting”, etc. is going too far in most cases.
It smells very strongly of totalitarian censorship with “kosher” excuses and it opens the door to personal vendettas, libels, etc..
@Reader I agree that that’s how it should be but do you think that Beilin, Lapid, Ganz and Raam would be in charge if Trump was still in the White House? It sucks but as things stand, Israeli leaders mostly bow to American public opinion. Should American Jews just say, “who cares when opinion shapers take another step towards the bad old days and do nothing? It’s not that long ago that the Shoah was a third rail of politics. Now, it’s ok for a public figure to minimize it? Aside from the issue of justice and memory. You didn’t answer me. Did you lose anybody? Or, Is the Shoah theoretical for you and in the distant past like, say, the Exodus from Egypt, though the Hagadah enjoins us to feel it was us who went through that.
@Sebastian Zorn
I’ve read the article that you posted and I don’t like it for the following reasons:
1) Race (Black/White/”Yellow”) is not a scientific concept. It is used in the US solely for political reasons because of the country’s unique demography, and it cannot be clearly defined.
2) The idea that being “white” means you are bad, or are a colonizer, racist, etc. and are immune to suffering but love to cause it to non-whites but if you are “a person of color” (I hate this term for some reason) you are good, you are always a victim of discrimination, colonization, etc. has no merit.
Hating people for being white is just as bad as hating people for being darker skinned, it’s the same racism.
However, the author obviously buys into this idea and decides to be “good” and not “bad” (she thinks she was misidentified as a bad white person) and thus starts defining herself as a person of color or at least as a non-white (yet she insists on not letting others define ourselves), and ends up claiming that Jews are not white (meaning they are “good”).
I know two sisters (both have the same parents) one of whom is “white” and another one is “olive-skinned”, so should the darker one now declare herself to be “a person of color” and snub her “white” sibling (both are Jewish, BTW)?
3) She comes close to the right idea that Jews are Jews and this is the only definition they need but it gets buried in her guilt and confusion.
I think all this Jewish complaining about race, not being given enough rights, the need to apologize for themselves and Israel, to teach about the Holocaust, and to correct everyone’s “misconceptions” about Jews and Israel, and to “turn the other cheek” (see Kenneth Levin’s book) comes from low self-esteem and from persistent ghetto mentality and residual self-hate.
Jews are supposed to dwell alone.
We are in Galut, and it doesn’t feel good – it is not supposed to.
Finally, I am compelled to quote Ben-Gurion:
https://jewishjournal.com/cover_story/295918/were-jews-were-not-white-we-define-ourselves/?fbclid=IwAR2ApLCV4SQlZ_KRCoPZ2Rh98QfMDCRPaW-O9qMHPtIXw-3g2arETClYEtQ
@Sebastian Zorn
We CAN’T do it in both places.
We are already DONE in the US whether you want to face it or not, now we have to focus on Israel so we are not done there too.
To think otherwise is a waste of time, money, and opportunity.
In case you didn’t notice, Jewish influence in the US is diminishing (and this is why there are more and more antisemitic outbursts) and soon will be ignored because there are other growing populations which will be much more important at the ballot box and because of the major political changes that are taking place.
Americans are growing more and more disenchanted with both political parties, and just might elect an Independent next time who will be a Hitler-like demagogue.
And who will be the first to be blamed for everything?
You already know the answer.
There are ~2.5 million Koreans in the US and their problems are totally different.
WHY? Because they are NOT JEWISH.
It’s NOT W.G. and her influence.
They are not small children who need to be influenced, they are told what they want to hear and what they themselves believe anyway..
THEY ARE ALL “ANTISEMITES” and we need to get out of here before its too late so we don’t become trapped like 90 years ago – but today we have a state, if we only appreciate it.
– Somebody on FB wrote this comment.
@Reader When did you answer me? OK. You’re Jewish. Did you lose relatives? She was suspended wasn’t she? That’s what happens when we or any group flexes it’s political muscles. The Korean community in New York is much stronger than Jews are in the US or even in Israel in some ways because they are united. They marched to get a racist city council person removed and it happened. The new executive VP of outreach of the ADL is a freaking antisemite! You have Jews marching to have Jews evicted from their homes in Yesha, American and Israeli Jews! We have to do what we can in both places. What happens in America affects Israel
@Sebastien Zorn
I AM JEWISH.
You asked me about that and how many relatives I lost in the Holocaust, and I answered you on this thread.
So why do you keep saying I am not Jewish, this is really rotten of you.
The only physical collective muscle we have is Israel which is now under threat and no one is paying attention (at least not on this blog as of now).
We also have a spiritual collective muscle which is God (especially when we behave properly).
The rest is an illusion and delusion.
It was already shown to us how much collective muscle we have in the Diaspora between 1933 and 1945, so why repeat the same experiment in the US?
You are kidding, right?
The mouse that roared!
It is not about punishing a couple of people, there are BILLIONS of people like Whoopi, and she is far from being the worst of them.
It is only going to get worse, history is repeating itself.
It is about focusing on what really needs to be DONE and doing it and not about the fake Zionist and Jewish defense organizations, and making a lot of indignant noises which make everyone hate the Jews even more..
BTW, there are plenty of Jews who espouse even worse anti-Jewish or anti-Israel views than W.G. why don’t you seek to punish THEM, after all, they should know better than Whoopi Goldberg!
@Reader Ben Schapiro pointed out that before she said it was just two groups of White people fighting each other, who cares, before she mouthed her man’s inhumanity to man garbage. If you think Holocaust denial doesn’t matter, you really don’t get it. Not being Jewish, it might be harder for you. By the way, what is your motivation in supporting Israel, I’ve been wondering?
@Reader Both are important. Both here and there, Jews need to start flexing our collective muscle in the interests of our people. It’s a slippery slope. You let them get away with anything, the next will be worse. I don’t hope to educate her. I want her removed from her position of influence. Jews are being assaulted and murdered here in America and in Israel by people who think they are justified. In 2012, she accused Israel of massacring Palestinians. She lied when she said she has always stood by the Jewish people. She’s a leading leftwing antisemite. We need to start demanding that our enemies have their bully pulpits taken from them.
@Sebastien Zorn
Why are you so obsessed with Whoopi while completely ignoring the real existential threats to Israel and the Jews such as that new Yossi Beilin’s potentially deadly (and illegal) initiative and Jews (both adults and children) being physically attacked in the streets of “the freest ,and most civilized countries in the world” such as The US, Great Britain, and France, both the US and the EU acting to support the Arabs and the Muslims in general against Israel, etc.?
There are millions and billions of “Whoopis” and you can’t control them or “educate them about the Holocaust” and the only result of the Whoopi-obsession is to make them look like victims and make them stubbornly defend their words and views and thus to help ingrain them in the minds of the public even more.
It would be much better if all of the American Jews would just make their aliyah applications (at the same time) instead of wasting time on the useless Whoopi-obsessing.
This could make quite an impact.

I’ve seen it, and I’ve seen other antisemitic cartoons also.
I think W.G.’s sweater has nothing to do with it.
What if the Nazis pictured Jews in their antisemitic cartoons as bloodthirsty lions, would it mean that one couldn’t name a Jewish boy Aryeh anymore?
You cannot demand from people more than they can deliver.
So she didn’t know that octopus was “on the index” (I didn’t either).
She comes from a very different culture, she took a Jewish-sounding last name which couldn’t have happened if she hated Jews (a lot of non-Jews would never believe that she would have done it unless she had some Jewish roots, and we all know how everyone “loves” Jews).

There are some anti-octopus comments under the article, and she does suffer from foot-in-mouth disease.

is a meme that popped up on my Facebook news feed. Awesome idea.
@SEBASTIEN-
That octopus with the Menorah thing is VERY telling. It immediately and clearly signifies to me the grasping Jew with his tentacles spread all over the world clutching and choking the good guys
In fact | have seen similar pictures of Anti-Semitic content, with an octopus, wearing glasses on a beaky nose (we know that octopi have lethal beak like mouths) spreading over a globe, it’s tentacles around grasping it. Some Jewish object either drawn on it or gangling from a tentacle.
Very illustrative..
@Sebastien Zorn
I am sorry, I just can’t get all worked up about a T-shirt pic that I’ve never seen of an octopus holding a menorah.
You cannot assume the worst in everyone’s intentions.
I already explained what, in my opinion, cased the commotion.
And, in my opinion, this commotion will cause more harm to the Jews than if they’d just ignored the whole thing or tried to make it a teaching moment (for themselves, as well), instead of accepting without question Hitler’s definition of race which doesn’t apply in the US.

@ReaderThe Nazis murdered all of my grandparents and great-grandparents on one side. Only 15 years before I was born (I’ was informed the Middle Passage was genocide and was worse, out of the blue, by a Black antisemite, on a job where he was my boss, somuch tor prejudice plus power, the Marxist formula.). I think I’m a pretty good judge of when to be offended and who with.
Are you Jewish? Who did you lose?
The ovens joke was for a Jewish satirical magazine. She is an ardent Zionist who has visited Isrel since in solidarity with the beleagured Jews of Yesha. She was wrong about Zimmerman though the court exonerated her action. That was a clear case of self-defence. Trayvon Martin was trying to beat him to death and didn’t have a mark on him except for the one bullet but Zimmerman was beaten to within an inch of his life. What would you do if somebody wouldn’t stop beating you and all you had was pistol.

She’s a Holocaust denier with a history of antisemitism. Doesn’t get much worse than that. She’s worse than Barr who is mostly hust silly.
I wrote it because these Jewish hysterics and responses to them make everyone believe that Jews have real power when they actually don’t.
I think that this is actually bad for the Jews who completely ignore their real problems for the sake of identifying and punishing “antisemites” and making a lot of noise about it.
And has it occurred to you that W. G. might have used the term “Jewish American Princess” affectionately figuring it is popular among the Jews and there was a funny book written on the subject?
I have news for you – there are almost 7 billion antisemites on this planet, too many to go after and get excited about.

googled Whoopie Goldberg and Farakhan. In 2018, on the View, she slammed those who criticized Bill Clinton for speaking on the same dais as Farakhan at Aretha Franklin’s funeral, , saying that if anybody had a problem, take it up with the family who wanted him there. This is not about Clinton or Farakhan but about her.
“You’re bitchin’ about this, you need to call the [Franklin] family,” she said on “The View.” “Because the family invited Farrakhan there. They know him, there’s a reason he was there — and you don’t get up off a dais when you’ve been invited there to celebrate that person’s life.” “It’s not about Bill Clinton or Louis Farrakhan. It’s all about Aretha,” she added, drawing applause from the audience.
Goldberg emphasized it was the family’s wishes for Farrakhan to be there, just as they had personally invited Clinton and the other famous guests. Her advice to critics? Take a chill pill because “you can’t control everything.”
During the funeral, folks couldn’t help but notice Farrakhan standing on the stage, beaming alongside the likes of the Rev. Al Sharpton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson. The leaders, including Clinton, were slammed for merely sharing the stage with the “radical” Black nationalist and, at one point, shaking hands with him.”
I heard, “we don’t ” not “you don’t” but I’m sure, “you” meaning us is who she meant. ” You Jews don’t get to control everything.” The paper got it.

@Sebastian Zorn
Have you forgotten what Gutfeld and Greenblatt say?
They both said that Jews are a race.
Well, say it isn’t true when as soon as W. G. said something the Jews (1.5% of the population) found not to their liking she got suspended from her show for 2 weeks, apologized, an it is STILL not enough.
What if she said something somone else didn’t like – no one would even notice.
“Jewish American Princes or JAP” trope was invented by Jews.
The original book was sold in Jewish bookstores.
W. G. didn’t invent it.
Then it was, somehow, forgotten as a bad attempt at Jewish humor.
It looks like W. G. has a bad case of foot-in-mouth disease.
About 20 years ago, I asked a Black fellow student what had interested her in signing up for the course we were taking in the Jewish Studies dept. of CCNY entitled, “Holocaust and Film,” just making small talk as we were adjacent on line to register and it happened to come up that we were both registering for the same course. She seemed very nice, very personable, friendly and I vividly recall my shock at hearing her casual reply which I had never heard before. “Because that’s where the power is.”
She also lied and said her Jewish critics claim we are a race. (never heard of anybody besides myself) I read she’s the daughter of a Baptist minister.
