The latest comments came despite Goldberg serving a suspension and issuing an apology for the same claims less than a year ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cRemember who they were killing first,\u201d Goldberg told the newspaper. \u201cThey were not killing racial; they were killing physical. They were killing people they considered to be mentally defective. And then they made this decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Whoopi Goldberg repeats Holocaust slur while promoting new film &#8216;Till&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/y4LfmBRj0i\">https:\/\/t.co\/y4LfmBRj0i<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hfzb9Mp2bt\">pic.twitter.com\/hfzb9Mp2bt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 New York Post (@nypost) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nypost\/status\/1606666317523820544?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 24, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She also tried to clarify her claims about Semitic people not being a race, and used a gross metaphor to describe how her words were construed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cIt doesn\u2019t change the fact that you could not tell a Jew on a street,\u201d Goldberg said. \u201cYou could find me. You couldn\u2019t find them. That was the point I was making.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cBut you would have thought that I\u2019d taken a big old stinky dump on the table, butt naked,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In February, Goldberg sparked outrage when she said the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were killed, was not a racial matter but a case of \u201cwhite-on-white violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEffective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her wrong and hurtful comments,\u201d Kim Godwin, president of Disney owned ABC, said in a Feb. 1 statement. \u201cWhile Whoopi has apologized, I\u2019ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments.\u00a0The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The network has so far not commented on Goldberg\u2019s latest remarks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Goldberg granted the latest interview to promote a new film she helped produce about civil rights martyr Emmett Till. In addition to potentially reigniting a feud with Jews, historians, and possibly her employer, Goldberg risked the ire of the transgender community. When asked about her recent claim that \u201cmen don\u2019t have eggs,\u201d which transgender activists took as a slight to biological women who think they are men, Goldberg held her ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cThey may have eggs, but they\u2019re not getting pregnant, are they?\u201d she said. \u201cI think you have to do some fixing in order to get those eggs fertilized. But I do have questions because trans men, I was told, still have their prostates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Goldberg started the Holocaust firestorm early last year when she and her co-hosts were discussing a Tennessee school board\u2019s decision to pull the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel \u201cMaus.\u00a0\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cLet\u2019s be truthful about it: the Holocaust isn\u2019t about race,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s not about race. It\u2019s not about race. It\u2019s not about race.\u00a0It\u2019s about man\u2019s inhumanity to man. That\u2019s what it\u2019s about.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Although her co-hosts disputed the claim, Goldberg kept digging herself into a historical hole.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cThese are two white groups of people,\u201d she continued. \u201cYou are missing the point. The minute you turn it into race, it goes down this alley. Let\u2019s talk about it for what it is, it\u2019s how people treat each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">After the network suspended her, she issued an apology in which she acknowledged that \u201cThe Holocaust was about the Nazi\u2019s systematic annihilation of the Jewish people \u2014 who they deemed to be an inferior race. I stand corrected.\u201d But she then proceeded to undermine the mea culpa in an interview the same day with leftist late-night television host Stephen Colbert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cWhen you talk about being a racist, you can\u2019t call this racism,\u201d Goldberg said. \u201cThis was evil.\u00a0This wasn\u2019t based on skin. You couldn\u2019t tell who was Jewish.\u00a0You had to delve deeply and figure it out.\u00a0My point is: they had to do the work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cIf the Klan is coming down the street and I\u2019m standing with a Jewish friend,\u201d she continued, \u201cI\u2019m going to run, but if my friend decides not to run, they\u2019ll get passed by most times because you can\u2019t tell who is Jewish. You don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe View\u201d star Whoopi Goldberg doubled down on her history-challenged claim that the Holocaust had nothing to do with race in a new interview, despite the fact the same claim got her suspended from the ABC show back in February.
