Lebronwon 02/03/22 12:20:05 PM #1:	https://nypost.com/2022/02/03/aoc-says-whoopi-goldberg-suspension-was-unnecessary/ Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said ABCs suspension of Whoopi Goldberg over her comments about the Holocaust wasnt necessary, arguing that Goldberg has already been forgiven by a key Jewish organization. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) noted that the head of the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, accepted her apology. I think whenever theres a learning moment like this, whats super important is the relationship between that person and the community theyre making amends with, the New York congresswoman told TMZ. Greenblatt appeared on The View on Tuesday after Goldberg came under fire for saying that the Holocaust wasnt about race during the shows Monday broadcast. The ADL head told Goldberg and her co-hosts on Tuesday that the Holocaust was a singular catastrophe that was motivated by a racialized anti-Semitism. Greenblatt also tweeted that Goldberg was a long-time ally of the Jewish community and that her apology is very much welcome. Ocasio-Cortez told TMZ that forgiveness from Greenblatt should suffice. I think we really kind of take the Jewish communitys lead on this and they seem to see that her apology was authentic and want to move on, she said. Goldberg first argued that the Holocaust went beyond race during a discussion on The View about a Tennessee school districts decision to ban Maus, the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel about a Holocaust survivor. The Holocaust isnt about race. No, its not about race, she said repeatedly. Its about mans inhumanity to man. She then repeated the statement on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert that evening. The host walked back the remarks on Twitter later that night amid widespread outrage. The suspension handed down by ABC News president Kim Godwin drew furious reaction from Goldbergs co-hosts, who felt it was unwarranted. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:962331714] in AOC says W...

Criminalt 02/03/22 12:39:55 PM #20:	From what I've read of the interviews and her apologies, she hasn't yet said anything that could reasonably be interpreted as trivializing, excusing, relativizing, or downplaying either the scale or horror of the Holocaust or blaming the victims in any way. All she seems to have done is to wrongheadedly mischaracterize it as "not being about race" simply because there were no genuine "racial" differences between killer and victim (if it wasn't "really" about race, it was definitely about racism), and apparently tried to universalize its meaning by folding it into "man's inhumanity to man". Can anyone point to comments she's previously made about the Holocaust which would indicate this is part of a pattern of wilful misunderstanding? If not, then the suspension might have been deserved on the grounds of dumbassery that you can't and shouldn't give a free pass to -- but a sacking, no. --- No tricks <cite>Criminalt posted [p:962332308] in AOC says W...

E_S_M_Z 02/03/22 1:04:42 PM #45:	EmbraceOfDeath posted... Lol people making excuses here absolutely wouldn't be doing the same if she was a conservative. The typical team politics hypocrisy. It's a real bad look to defend people saying things like that just because they lean the same politically. This is definitely true and leftists absolutely practice team hyposcrisy. But I do feel like in this case, if a conservative said that, in the context of their own racial politics, it would probably be deemed to carry a different meaning. Put another way, from someone with a history of minimizing racism, this would be considered part of that agenda. From someone without that history, it's just being fucking dumb. --- Join the club.
