Amidst this backdrop, Whoopi Goldberg, \u200cco-host of &#8220;The \u2064View,&#8221;\u2062 commented during a broadcast that the younger generation\u2063 seems untaught about protesting for causes. This was discussed within the context of a conversation about former President \u2063Barack Obama, whose daughters\u2063 have shown disinterest in pursuing political careers. Goldberg seemed to imply that the toxic nature of contemporary politics might be deterring young people from entering the field. Her co-hosts, \u2062including Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin, also shared their thoughts, with Hostin highlighting the particular concern that black mothers might have about their children entering politics.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p>Just weeks after anti-Israel protests rocked college campuses across the country \u2014 closing off buildings, canceling classes and exams, and even disrupting graduation ceremonies \u2014 \u201cThe View\u201d host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/whoopi-goldberg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Whoopi Goldberg<\/a> claimed on Wednesday that no one was teaching the younger generation to protest for things.<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg made the comments during Wednesday\u2019s broadcast of the ABC midday talk show, during a conversation about former President Barack Obama \u2014 and the fact that his two daughters, raised in the White House, have expressed no interest in getting into politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, as funny as that is, it\u2019s also really sad. Does that mean that politics have gotten so nasty that young people don\u2019t want to go into it?\u201d Goldberg asked.<\/p>\n<p>Joy Behar expressed her disappointment, complaining that she would prefer to have Obama back \u2014 and Sunny Hostin agreed, but she said she understood why the Obamas might not want their daughters to follow their father into politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of black mothers, especially, would be nervous about their children getting into politics because of the racial bias that still exists in this country. The societal bias, the structural racism that still exists in this country,\u201d she claimed, adding, \u201cBut you know, we need less influencers and more leaders. We do. We need fresh blood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She went on to say that young people needed to be more worried about standing on \u201cthe right side of history\u201d than they were in building a brand on social media, prompting a response from Goldberg.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1712932862202000&#038;usg=AOvVaw0plT8RRdMy9XUpIhocnjQS\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Whoopi bizarrely suggests that young people don\u2019t protest things anymore:<br \/> \u201cWe have not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/anti-israel-agitators-at-ut-austin-learn-the-hard-way-that-texas-does-things-differently-than-blue-states\/\" title=\"UT-Austin Anti-Israel Activists Face Texas' Unique Approach Compared to Blue States\">taught young people<\/a> how to stand for stuff\u2026we were forced to do it because our brothers or sisters or uncles and cousins were thrown into wars\u2026There were things we were fighting for.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZBLfWjImZB\">pic.twitter.com\/ZBLfWjImZB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NickFondacaro\/status\/1803475156590846063?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 19, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI think we have not taught them how to do that.
