Whoopi Goldberg Apologies Again After Repeating Holocaust Slur Statement About Jews

TV host of ‘The View’, Whoopi Goldberg has apologised for her recent statement, after saying again that the Holocaust was “not about race.”

The media personality, in a recent interview, repeated the Holocaust slur that has previously led to her being suspended from ‘The View’ in February.

According to Whoopi Goldberg, who spoke to the Sunday Times of London: “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’.”

However, a representative for the 67-year-old issued a statement to The Post following her interview on Tuesday, December 27.

She made an effort to make it clear in the statement that she wasn’t “doubling down” on her earlier offensive statements, but was merely addressing them.

Goldberg said in the statement: “Recently while doing press in London, I was asked about my comments from earlier this year. I tried to convey to the reporter what I had said and why and attempted to recount that time.

“It was never my intention to appear as if I was doubling down on hurtful comments, especially after talking with and hearing people like rabbis and old and new friends weighing in.

“I’m still learning a lot and believe me, I heard everything everyone said to me. I believe that the Holocaust was about race, and I am still as sorry now as I was then that I upset, hurt and angered people. My sincere apologies again, especially to everyone who thought this was a fresh rehash of the subject. I promise it was not.

“In this time of rising antisemitism, I want to be very clear when I say that I always stood with the Jewish people and always will. My support for them has not wavered and never will.”

Goldberg was at the Sunday Times interview to promote her new film “Till,” in which she portrays Alma Carthan, the mother of civil rights activist Mamie Till-Mobley, whose 14-year-old son, Emmett Till, was tortured and killed in 1955.

When the interviewer recalled that “Nazis saw Jews as a race,” Goldberg implied that there is some discussion regarding whether Jews are a race or a religious community.

She said, “Yes, but that’s the killer, isn’t it?” The oppressor is telling you what you are. Why are you believing them? They’re Nazis. Why believe what they’re saying?

“It wasn’t originally [about race]. Remember who they were killed first. They were not killing race; they were killing physically. They were killing people they considered to be mentally defective. And then they made this decision.”
