Whoopi Goldberg made it clear that she holds the US in contempt on today’s edition of ‘The View’ on ABC. Goldberg, who is the official host of the show, made a comparison of the US’ so-called “nationalism” mentality to that of Nazi Germany. GOLDBERG: Well, I think because one of the things that happens when you get nationalism whipped up in a country is people start going “yeah it’s them, it’s not us, it’s them, it’s not us, let’s go get them!” We saw it happen. We saw it happen here. People started saying, “oh, yeah, it’s all those people, you know, those people from other countries, you know, the ones that wear stuff over their heads and they’re coming over here. And all those illegal people, they’re coming, we’ve got to get rid of them. And we got to get-” And so everybody starts going, “yeah, we’ve got to take care of it, yeah, we got to take care of it.” And it’s so easy to fall into it. HARRIS: It is a mob mentality, sure. GOLDBERG: What I, what I’ve come to understand really over the last several years is how easy it is for us to become nationalistic and not recognize that we are — the Nazis believed that it was them and not us.

At the beginning of the clip Whoopi says she would forgive the Nazis just because she believes in forgiveness. Whoopi is willing to give cold blooded murderers who wanted to wipe out an entire race of people the benefit of the doubt but not her own country?

This last statement by Whoopie is not as strange as it may appear, among leaders in the African-American community and a significant number of average black citizens there is a very high level of anti-Jewish racism.
