I don't know about Goldberg's religion but she is not an ethnic Jew. She was born Caryn Johnson. I may be wrong but I think she changed her name to Whoopi Goldberg to sound less white.

Larger context:

Goldberg said and then walked back on her statement that the Holocaust wasn’t about race. She immediately apologized for her ignorance. She was only suspended for damage control despite being immediately informed on air that she was wrong.

Carano compared the being a Republican to being a Jew in Nazi Germany. She refused to delete her tweets and doubled down. She had ample opportunity to keep her job. She refused to bow to corporate censorship and therefor was fired.

Pascal likewise compared Trump Supporters to Nazis and Confederates. He then deleted his tweet and kept his job.

I’m not sure what politics has to do with it.

It seems like if you bow to corporate censorship, you keep your job.

Is that right? No, but considering Whoopi said this at her job, unlike Carano and Pascal, it’s far more understandable to expect a harsher backlash.

The difference is she didn’t continue to double down and eventually took back what she said.

Carano said that the Democrat hate Trump supporters as much as the Nazis hated Jews.

She was not wrong, nor was she insensitive to anyone. There are Democrats in significant positions who want to send Trump supporters to re-education camps. If the left could get away with it all of us conservatives would be shipped off to the ovens.

I really don't care that Pascal compared Trump supporters to Nazis. Everyone on the left believes Trump supporters, Republicans, conservatives, Constitutionalists, libertarians and everyone else on the right are Nazis and white supremacists. I've just come to expect that kind of prejudiced nonsense from the left.

Joe Rogan is having to do all sorts of genuflecting just because he puts guests on his show the left disapproves and said "N" word several years ago on his show. So what. It is how own podcast and he can say whatever he wants and have whomever he wants on his show. Why should anyone care? It is a podcast. You have to go out of your way to find and listen to a podcast. It is not like you plop down in front of the TV and he shows up with guests who have differing opinions on COVID.

Rogan isn't even a conservative. He's probably more of a leftist than anything else. I don't listen to his podcasts so I really don't know for sure. He said he just invites guests he finds interesting on his show. which means he didn't toe the Democrat party line and now he is being "canceled" because of it.

You can try to downplay what Carano said but at the end of the day, you can’t say that Jews did not find it offensive. They did.

The fact remains that she was only fired for her refusal to delete her tweet, not because she made it.

What Carano said wasn't even offensive; it was just true. Whoopi was just being insensitive. My argument is that none of them should've been punished. And Whoopi's punishment seems more like protection from the media.

Because losing your plastic tv super hero cape is totally like death by concentration camp?

Love how no one's kicking a fuss about the Roma who got exterminated more per capita for the exact same reasons plus the disabled, communists, polical dissidents, Catholics, oh, and Slavs, who Hiltler wanted to make into slaves anyways so it wasn't THAT much of a threat to all of them....

Who the frick said that?

Stalin and Mao were both worse than Hitler, and Stalin even used Hitler for a while. Hitler deservedly is known as one of the great evils of the 20th century, but the fact that the other two are even respected by anyone is utterly ridiculous. Mao used the weakened state of China after the Japan fiasco to overthrow the government, a plan that came from USSR indoctrination in China. And Mussolini, one of Hitler's war partners, was inspired by Marxism. Hitler hated communism later because he realized they wanted the same thing he wanted; total domination of the globe. Not because they were a good light in his evil darkness. Tbh Hitler was an idiot. If he really wanted to succeed, he should've called himself a communist; then we'd renown him as a hero today and not many people would know of the horrors he committed, and others would have some lame excuse why there was nothing wrong with the Holocaust. But Hitler was the aggressive villain; communists are the manipulative ones.

tl;dr

When someone whining about Whoopi saying Jews are WHITE PEOPLE and then rallies to the defense of Hitler's beleaguered rep!

Stalin and Mao set out to deliberately wipe out entire ethnicities and started world wide warS? Thanks for the update on that one!

Try Leopold II for outdoing Hitler in the genocide championship series then check out the Nazis' Japanese allies and the lovely Turks then top that sundae off with the British Empire which over three centuries killed more than all of them and your widdle bogeyman COMBINED times a lot more - wiping out millions in India in just the 20th Century alone for things like a tax on salt as well as HALF or more of Iran in 1917-19 - THE biggest Holocaust of the 20th Century and one I ain't been hearing about in memelandia history lessons.

Good grief.

I also found that statement offensive and non-historical.

1) trying to wipe out ethnicities is not the evilest thing possible. It's evil, but it's not the determiner of whether or not you're a great evil. At least racists care about their own ethnicity; Stalin and Mao didn't give a darn about anyone. Who did Stalin starve by famine? People of his own country, despite ethnicity.
Who did Mao Zedong kill when he over tripled Hitler's death toll? Chinese and any other victims of differing ethnicities who happened to be there. But fyi, Marx himself was known to be a serious racist.

2) Stalin in fact was involved in starting World War 2; he could've stopped Hitler from invading Poland (and certainly would've benefited from doing that [because everyone benefited from having ties with a strong Poland]), but he made a pact with Hitler where he allowed him to invade Poland without fighting him because he knew it would piss off England (who entered World War 1 instantly after Germany sacked Poland, and who was the other major player in World War 1, and who had sent Germany a staunch warning not to invade Poland if they didn't want to start another war). So yeah, he started a world wide war.

3) Mao took advantage of World War 2 the same way Hitler took advantage of World War 1; he took over a broken country with the promise of making it stronger. Also I don't know what you're talking about, since Mao holds the modern record for most deaths caused (though figuratively it should be Pol Post, who pulled a Thanos on his own population). Those were huge "Holocausts"

Trying to cut Hitler & CO a little slack in the "Murder is bad" is just such an amazing expenditure of time!
Hitler started WW II. Perhaps looking that up at this juncture?

I skimmed through because this nonsense bores me a lot.

Oh, wait, what?
The USA was THE major player in WWI & II, that's why we won the dang thangs and became Big Daddy Supreme of Planet Earth.

Again, and to put it as simple as possible: the British Empire killed more than all those outfits combined.

Thread was done a month ago, let's call this a wrap and stop wasting my time on your revisionist justifications for Hitler's "misdeeds" as you would call it, k?

Who said I cut Hitler a little slack? I hate the man just as much as you do, probably even more since I know what he actually did and who he worked with. He also was rebellious to religion.

I never said Hitler had nothing to do with it. I said Stalin manipulated it, and was thus also involved. They both started World War 2.

No, you skimmed through, just like the people who share your beliefs, who don't look at other beliefs unless their own people are talking about what their opponents believe.

The USA became a major player in the end of WWI because the war eventually tired out Britain. Britain was still a great power. Plus, starting a war with the US was darn near impossible because the US tried to avoid them. The only way to get the US involved was to do something stupid like bomb Pearl Harbor, which probably cost Japan the ability to conquer Asia (since they were outdoing Germany in conquering others). So that's why the goal was to start a war with England. Plus Germany would've been sacked instantly if they started off by pissing off the US.

Did it? Communist dictators in the 20th century alone have claimed over 244 million lives, not including Stalin's forced abortion rate that disgusted even Margaret Sanger (someone I don't think highly of because of, well you know, racism).

My gosh, you leftists don't know how to comprehend a conversation. All you do is reword what people say and tell them what they believe. No, I never revised history or defended Hitler. I said Stalin was equally as bad, if not worse because he manipulated other countries into thinking he was good when he wasn't different from Hitler at all. HE'S the revisionist.
And you're not the first person to accuse me of this simply because I said he wasn't the only great evil around in his time.

"Communist dictators in the 20th century alone have claimed over 244 million lives"

Claimed?
Ooh, do show that claim.

Britain found out there's a slight difference between lining up and shooting 100 unarmed Malay farmers en masse for a kid being rude to a constable and getting bombed into submission the way they did to those countries two centuries prior and the Russian winter doesn't last forever, sooooooooo.........

The rest is repetition highlighting your ignorance.

Let's call this a wrap and stop wasting my time on your trying to convince me the Alt Reicht's idol Dolphy wasn't THAT bad because he left Nazi Deutschlandian Uberstenschers [see what I did there?] off the kill list, mkay?

It was true from a certain point of view…

Both Carano and Goldberg’s statements were equal in their insensitivity to people Jewish decent.

Goldberg is being protected not just because she apologized but because the offensive part of what she said is going to be in every headline, clickbait title, and meme (like yours).

But let me ask you this, how many people are going to actually read the story and know details outside of her just saying “It wasn’t about race?” How many do you think even know what it was they were even talking about? Ironically, this is the exact thing she wanted to avoid because she didn’t want it to overshadow what it was they were discussing.

Everyone is just going to read the clickbait, get angry, and voice their opinion without even bothering to know why she said that.

So, yes, she is being protected. Because people don’t really care about what she was saying. They only care about the mistake and letting us cool off with her out of sight, out of mind is indeed the PR strategy.

You can try to downplay what Carano said but the fact remains that she was only fired for her refusal to delete her tweet, not because she made it.

Gina deleting her tweet would’ve made her a liar and a hypocrite so I’m glad she stuck by her principles even when pressured to remove what she said as if she didn’t say it.

You're not wrong. What is wrong is corporations having the power to fire someone over matters that should remain outside their control. However, just as I believe corporations shouldn't fire people for what they tweet, I don't believe legislation should be made to tell corporations how to run their business.

I believe that both Carano and Goldberg's cases both concluded with both parties amicably.

Disney has always had a very tight reign on their employees yet they've yielded much success.

I don't think Carano was happy working for them at all, otherwise she wouldn't have been compelled to tweet such a thing. It was better for everyone if she distances herself from those people.

Better for her too, I imagine. Also on a unrelated note, why Disney feel the need to make shitty live action remakes of all their animated classics? There was nothing wrong with them! I loved the first lion king when I was a kid and Aladdin with Robin Williams as the Genie was great too. Will Smith didn’t have the same energy as Robin for the Genie and he just came off as a creepy uncle in the remake imo

Much like how animated shows in the 80s, and how the Star Wars franchise still makes bank today with it's lackluster moves, the whole point is merchandising. When Disney remakes an animated classic into live action, they can dig up old merchandise for those animated films and reuse them.
