‘The View’ Host Whoopi Goldberg Claims Holocaust Wasn’t About Race

ABC’s “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg declared the Holocaust was “not about race” {snip}

The daytime gabfest was in the midst of a conversation about a Tennessee school district voting to remove a Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel about the Holocaust from its curriculum due to “inappropriate language” and an illustration of a nude woman. “Maus” by Art Spiegelman tells the story of his Jewish parents living in 1940s Poland and depicts him interviewing his father about his experiences as a Holocaust survivor.

Ana Navarro mentioned a Florida bill that could prevent any conversation in schools that makes students feel uncomfortable race or gender, prompting Sunny Hostin to ponder if teaching students about topics like the Holocaust could eventually be prohibited.

“The Holocaust isn’t about race,” Goldberg said as her co-hosts appeared stunned.

Joy Behar said, “Well, they considered Jews a different race.”

“But it’s about a White supremacist going after Jews and Gypsies,” Navarro said as Goldberg attempted to speak over her.

“But these are two White groups of people,” Goldberg said as her colleagues disagreed.
