Its Open Season on Jews

[Yehuda57]

This confusion is why IMHO she should be cut some slack. Let's remember her real name is not Glodberg, that is a name she chose.

I believe her apology was sincere. She is not a "H" denier. She has learned from this and hopefully others have also.

Now you all need to be on the same page. This can't be a situation where there are three answers to the same question.

Suspending her is the network giving themselves two weeks for the story to blow over. She's not an antisemite, she's not a Holocaust denier. She just needs to be educated, along with her viewers. Instead of suspending her, she could have done some public learning. Punishing her doesn't help anyone.

Honestly, I don't think the Jews can answer it. Buy I don't think it matters.

It does matter. She acknowledges what happen. She is not a denier.
In her culture racism is one color against another. I will admit that is how I look at it also. That is why I make a distinction between anti-semitism and racism. Am I wrong or being ignorant?

Yes but I quoted the part I take issue with.

Bottom line is IMHO she should not have been suspended. This is cancel culture again. This is a great teaching opportunity that she should be part of.

1 - She has (in my view falsely) claimed to be Jewish in the past.
2 - The fact that she chose that stage name, apparently because she believed that having a Jewish name would make her more successful in showbiz, is a strike against her.

Ouch, now that is a new twist.

Agree. The question is if those fighting against cancel culture have already lost, and should just accept that it's part of our world, and learn to live with it.

Not new, and not a twist.

According to Wikipedia it was her mother that effected that name.

Guess I need to get out more or is this only in Jewish circles?

From that article:

It's been rumored that her mother thought the name Johnson wasn't "Jewish enough" for Goldberg to make it big, but that's not been confirmed.

From that article:

Correct, mother and not confirmed.
Is Whoopi a common Jewish name?

Sorry, I didn't mean to say that she definitely changed her name to sound more Jewish, just that those rumors aren't a new twist. The theory has been around for years.

mother

I stand corrected. It's a strike against her mother.

not confirmed.

Which is why I said "apparently"

[CountValentine]

I stand corrected. It's a strike against her mother.

So the little weasel wants her fired instead of a teaching opportunity. We see his priorities.

I don’t think her opinions would change either way, so even a suspension was overkill

Yes, the left created that rule, they should follow their own rules

Applying the MAD theory here to end the cancel culture madness is actually a great line, and that's the point here.
