Whoopi Goldberg - Please Change Your Last Name!

You may not be Jewish but your last name is, so please change it to Smith or Jones. We Jews would rather not have an antisemite like you using a name like Goldberg.

From United With Israel: STAGGERING IGNORANCE: Whoopi Doesn’t Know Basic Holocaust Facts

Whoopi Goldberg recently defended her false statements about the Holocaust, claiming that the Nazis “were not killing racial; they were killing physical,” leading to calls for her resignation.

“'Remember who they were killing first. They were not killing racial; they were killing physical,'” Whoopi Goldberg recently told the UK’s Sunday Times in an interview that was published Saturday.

According to 'The View' co-host, Adolf Hitler’s genocidal plan to exterminate the Jewish people 'wasn’t originally' based on race.

Goldberg, who has no Jewish ancestry and scrapped the name Caryn Elaine Johnson for a Jewish-sounding stage moniker at the outset of her career, appeared to be rehashing statements she made during a January 31 episode of the 'The View,' which led ABC News President Kim Godwin to suspend her for two weeks.

On that show, Goldberg claimed 'the Holocaust isn’t about race' during a discussion of a Tennessee school board’s decision to ban 'Maus,' a Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel that deals with the Holocaust.

'This was clearly idiotic,' responded Israel-based British commentator Melanie Phillips at the time.'

'The signature characteristic of German Nazism was that it set out to exterminate Jews as a race, identifying them as targets for annihilation on the basis of even a tenuous ancestral connection with Judaism,' wrote Phillips on JNS.org.

Phillips added, 'Attempting to apologize in the ensuing storm, Goldberg made things even worse. Saying she had now learned that ‘Hitler and the Nazis considered Jews to be an inferior race,’ she then told Stephen Colbert on his late-night comedy show that the Nazis had lied and actually had issues not with race but with ethnicity, which caused further outrage and prompted another apology.'
In the Times piece over the weekend, the interviewer corrected Goldberg after she appeared to repeat claims that the Holocaust wasn’t related to concepts of race"

Sorry, Whoopi! The word "race" doesn't only mean blacks!
