Whoopi Goldberg minimises oppression of women in Iran by arguing "what about us folks!"

I’m so tired of hearing this black victimhood narrative all the time. Does racism still insist? Of course it does. But at a certain point, the African-American community as a whole needs to look inward and figure out what went wrong. Yes, they were subjected to slavery, and it was awful. It also ended 160 years ago. Jim Crow is shitty too. That ended 61 years ago. It’s worth mentioning that there are lots of black professionals out there: black doctors, black lawyers, black scientists. So clearly Black people are just as capable of any other race of achieving greatness. Clearly something is very wrong in the community. Maybe it’s a lack of emphasis on education. Maybe it’s the idolization of degenerate rappers like P Diddy. Or maybe they internalize this message that has been pushed on them by liberals that they’re too weak to stand up for themselves, and how they pressured into performing their victimhood at corporate events. In any case, something is clearly wrong, because Chinese and Indian people often arrive in the US dirt poor and work their way up to the top.

Whoopi fails to understand that Iran has laws that prohibit rights or that sanction death for people found to be gay.

The poverty on display in this particular area was shocking, just unbelievable. To think it happens to this degree in a country with so much wealth is difficult to comprehend, and I can’t imagine a way that a child born into that kind of poverty would be able to find a way out of it.

Israel is attacking military sites. It is a country that feels that it is being threatened with annihilation. The Iranian regime has been taunting and jabbing Israel for the past many years. Finally, Israel ran out of patience. The Iranian regime wanted a fight, and Israel is giving it one. Keep aside all the arguments about whether Israel should exist or not, the Palestine issue, the Iranian regime kept itching for this fight. Should the US be involved? That is a different argument. So I don't understand the bitching against Israel coming from the left. Israel is supplied by the US, and Iran gets supplies and military know-how from Russia and China. Is it a fair fight? Maybe not, but in life, if you push someone and bully constantly, there are only 2 outcomes. Either they fold and give up, or fight back.

R79 There’s less public pressure or expectation for white poverty to be “overcome” in the same way that Black poverty is often framed as a character test.

White people have such a distorted perception of themselves, they compare poor inner city black people in poverty to middle class suburban whites.

But Chicago is like 0.6% of the black population. It’s where a majority of the homicide rate statistic comes from. It only takes a few major cities to skew the black statistic in America.

80% of Black America is above the poverty line.

But black people still face discrimination based on stereotypes and racism, just like they always have.

Wealthy Whoopi is feeling very oppressed in her wealthy neighborhood, while living in a big mansion and driving a Bentley. She also can't get a job, as a black woman. It's so horrible Whoopi!

Whoopy said something stupid. She does so daily. I don't understand how that becomes a platform to generalize about American Blacks, No one has a bigger victim mentality than Trump.

I don’t think she’s wrong or that it was insensitive. She’s correct—Black people are still treated deplorably in this country. And getting worse under the new psycho regime. Both can be true—Iran treatment of women/gays is reprehensible. And the racism/homophobia in this country also reprehensible. I don’t think Whoopi said it is worse here—rather that we don’t have the moral high ground because we oppress too.

R113 So many studies though over the last decades and if you look at history, whites in the US have always had bigger victim mentalities. That’s literally how segregation happened after slavery.

The same ones who complain about blacks need to get over slavery are some of the same ones STILL using the Confederate Flag.

The white “Karen” mentality is real. Abusers who cry victim.

They are the only ones with a platform to be heard. No white person would trade places with a non-famous, Black person in the Amerikkka. All the bullshit about Blacks receiving special or preferential treatment is JUST bullshit. Black people are treated with spite, contempt and hatred in Amerikkka, and every white person knows it. For a nation that used to extol liberty and freedom it is justifiably a source of disgrace and shame.

Every minority group has unique challenges, and has their own painful history and experiences, but I swear to God I’ve never seen one openly whine about it like African Americans. Every time. On every TV show. In every boardroom. At every corporate event. THEY are the biggest victims. It’s SO HARD to be Black. NO ONE has suffered like them. Everyone else who has suffered needs to shut up because they don’t know what it’s like to be black. Just nauseating!

r129, 400 years of slavery and oppression based on skin color is an unprecedented "challenge" in modern times. One not experienced by any other so-called "minority group." When a white man is slowly murdered by a Black cop kneeling on his neck in broad daylight, or a 14 year old white kid is shot for carrying a toy gun your nausea might be justified. Until then YOU are the problem.

R128, Alyssa looking stunned is a direct result of listening to that moron Whoopi day in and day out. Whoopi always stops the conversation dead in its tracks when she gets on her know-it-all soapbox and starts spewing her ignorance.

The View co-hosts always sit there politely and never utter a word even when she's rambling nonsensical bullshit, which, by the way, is all the time. The only time they interrupted her was during her ignorant rant about the Holocaust. Joy and Sara who happened to be married to Jewish men, tried to explain to her Hitler classified Jews as a separate race in order to create division. Whoopi being the ignoramus that she is, continued to argue Jews were not a race like black people.

That Alyssa finally showed how they all feel when Whoopi spews forth, should tell you how moronic her latest foot-in-mouth speechifying was on the topic.

R145 like communism, Diversity Equity Inclusion sounds good in theory but does not work in practice, because it hires people based on quotas (minorities, women, disabilities) and ignores talent, hard work, and constitution for the job, so you wind up with incompetent people doing jobs they're not qualified for and can't handle.

DEI actively discriminates against men and white people, especially white men, and it is mainly black women who benefit from it, which is the goal of DEI.

The woke left worships black women like goddesses.
