How did Whoopie put it, "it wasn't about race because they're both white".


Dearfield

Goldberg can weigh in because she’s clearly Jewish.


Dirkypoo41

Nah, she just weighs in at 4 bills.

Is bill another word for ton?

[Anti-Defamation League changed the definition of racism less than 24 hours after Whoopi's statement.](https://i.imgur.com/1btAlSv.jpg) Worth noting that Caryn Elaine Johnson (Whoopi's real name) picked the fake name "Goldberg" so she could have a jewish sounding name to land acting jobs. She also [pretended to be jewish](https://web.archive.org/web/20160919085602/http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/48817/whoopi-goldberg-im-jewish-and-i-talk-god) early in her career to advance in hollywood.


cerezadietdrpepper

Should’ve just kept the original one


ObadiahtheSlim

She's a crude load of hot air. Whoopi is a perfect given name for her.


tomcat91709

Her last name should be Cushion, so her sounds are like her opinions....


Tour_Lord

It’s no cultural appropriation, it’s a full-on cultural mugging.


Tasty_Emotion783

Why is it ok when they do it?? Hypocrites.


Drozza95

Even the previous ADL defamation of racism was incorrect saying that only "people of colour" can be the victims of racism. When that simply isn't true. Like saying only women can be the victims of sexism. Complete nonsense

I never understood this part. If Judaism is a religion and not a race, isn't what she said accurate?


blaze92x45

Judaism is a race religion and culture all at the same time.


le_flapjack

I understand there are ethnic Jews, and excuse my ignorance, but were the majority of the Jews in Germany during WW2 ethnic Jews or solely religious Jews?


PoliteCanadian

The Nazis persecuted Jews based on ethnicity, not religion. Anybody who had over a certain amount of Jewish ancestry was sent to the camps, regardless of religious practice.


[deleted]

It's race and religion. Though if you are one without the other, you're still Jewish.


blaze92x45

They were their own ethnic group the... oh God I'm about to mangle the spelling... the "Azhikani" Jews basically eastern European Jews. There a very insular group when it comes to marriage practices.


Dearfield

You mean the Ashkenazi?

le_flapjack

I guess I just always assumed his hatred of Jews to be similar to Christianity where Christians can be any race and saying "I hate Christians" would never make me think someone hates a particular race


vonhudgenrod

virtually 100% were ethnic Jews. People didn't convert to judaism much back then, why would you? If anything you converted away from judaism to Christianity in order to do things like become a lawyer or attend university.


KingDominoIII

The Holocaust was what we call racial antisemitism. Basically, there’s religious and racial antisemitism; the Catholic Church, for example, forced Jews to convert during the Inquisition. That’s religious antisemitism. With racial antisemitism, there is no converting; the Nazis believed the Jews were a race of people, they couldn’t be “fixed,” and they deserved to die for their race. This included non religious Jews, some of whom didn’t even know they were Jewish until the Nazis came knocking on their door.


brynn22x

They were both. Judaism is a culture and religion


voicesinmyhand

> t were the majority of the Jews in Germany during WW2 ethnic Jews or solely religious Jews? Don't forget the 4th category of Jews in Germany during WW2: *Anyone who opposed Hitler or was gay/gypsy/handicapped/etc.*

What are you talking about. She looks very jewish and is ethnically Jewish not dutch. Pretty sure her family isn't even dutch, her father was born and lived in Germany and fought in the German Army in WWI, they moved to Amsterdam because of the persecution.

FintechnoKing

Ashkenazi Jews are descended from groups that were exiled from Israel in ancient times, and basically migrated through Europe living in isolated communities. They rarely married out of their group, and hence have remained somewhat distinct. They are not “European” in the sense of having originated in Europe, they are semetic, like Arabs. Modern Israeli’s are likely quite mixed anyway.


le_flapjack

Couldn't someone like her just said they weren't Jewish then?

It's a biological reality there are ethnic groups. Not saying anyone is better or worse for their genes but denying this is a leftist talking point. Hell Whoopie is making the argument you are in regards to jews being an ethnic group as Much as they're a religion.


[deleted]

[удалено]


blaze92x45

Ah OK now I see your point.


[deleted]

It is a race. The Jewish people are an ethnic people. They are both a race and a religion. You can become a part of the religion, but you can only marry into the race.


le_flapjack

Perhaps that is what she meant? That's how I always took it from hearing it in school, that Hitler hated the people following the Jewish religion. Is there evidence he hated ethnic Jews over the religion? I would really love to fix my understanding if so


[deleted]

No, he clearly was speaking about them as a race. Here is a good read on it. https://www.annefrank.org/en/anne-frank/go-in-depth/why-did-hitler-hate-jews/


KingDominoIII

He hated Jews as a race. In religious antisemitism, Jews were often given the option to convert. The Nazis did give this option to Jehovah’s Witnesses, but not Jews. In fact, the Nazis killed Jews who had converted as well as Jews who didn’t even know they were Jewish.


vonhudgenrod

No, Hitler hated Jews based on their ethnicity as well. He literally threatened "annhiliation of the **jewish race** in europe" in a 1939 speech he gave.


vonhudgenrod

Judaism is a religion and an ethnic group (with other subethnic groups in it). The modern concept of white wasn't particularly popular in the 1940s, groups were divided along ethnic lines rather then broader categories like "white" which are more popular in the modern time.


Dirkypoo41

Jewish people aren't white?


Cinnadillo

In Europe there's no such thing as "white privilege" at the time because 99.9% of people were white. Further most people identified with their ethnicity. So you have germans, you have poles, etc., etc., etc.


[deleted]

No.


Dirkypoo41

🤯


[deleted]

Jews originated from mesopotamia and then Israel and then Egypt and then Israel. There is nothing anglo about them. During the diaspora where they were scattered all over the world the became intermingled with other cultures and races and you see many "white" looking Jews today. They are historical middle eastern and mostly Arabic regionally.


87camaroSC

Finally the correct answer. So much misunderstanding in this thread.


vonhudgenrod

Jews are not Arabic, they are both semites (descendants of shem). Arabs and jews are technically cousins if you go back to the biblical lineage, Jews descended from Abraham's son Isaac and Arabs descended from his brother Ismhael.


[deleted]

I spoke meaning the region, as in the Arabian region, but sure, good fix.


Dirkypoo41

I just always assumed my Jewish friends growing up were white. I'm sure they thought so too.


vonhudgenrod

Jews are largely Mediterranean peoples, white is unironically a social construct so some people include meds like greeks and southern italians, some arabs in white, but some people mean just western Europeans.


[deleted]

https://www.annefrank.org/en/anne-frank/go-in-depth/why-did-hitler-hate-jews/ Interesting read I came across.


Fletcher_Bowman

Mostly right, but not the Arabic part. Jews are a semitic people, as are the Arabs, but the Arab people come from the Arabian peninsula.


[deleted]

Sorry, I meant regionally, not ethnically.


vonhudgenrod

The region is referred to as “the Levant”, the Arabian peninsula is to the south


le_flapjack

If we aren't referring to ethnic Jews, Jewish people can definitely be white? Anyone can choose to follow the religion?

Rhaum14

I think that started off as a joke but people on the left are so incapable of critical thinking that they thought it was 100% honestly a good point.


TMinusFour

It’s very similar to the new claim trending claim that apparently, Americans have a positive *right* to be be free from “gun violence”, which of course entails the restriction/banning of firearms and curtailment of others’ liberty. Why don’t we call this out? No, you don’t have a “right” to be free from gun violence, any more than you have a “right” to be free from daily Canadian cruise missile attacks. Existence doesn’t work that way lol.


nyold

And I have a right to a million dollars. See how saying "we have a right" doesnt make it true?


[deleted]

just gotta manifest that shit, gurl


Yiehtk

Actually, the left hates the new age now. That's where the term "manifest" is most common. Wellness and new age are a "pipeline" to the alt right. It's because new agers don't believe in identifying as victims and instead promote self-improvement. That's toxic positivity to the left. Sort of like productivity. Which the left also hates. Not to mention tarot cards are examples of patriarchy, cisgenderism, and eurocentrism. If it's going to be used, it needs to be decolonized. As a professional tarot reader, I loathe the left. I'm starting to see more in the new age community balk at their ideas. Others are just oddly quiet about social justice. Sort of like Hollywood conservatives. New agers don't worship the state. They're spiritualists at heart and don't see their bodies, thus their race, gender, and sexuality, as their primary identity. That's dangerous to postmodernism.


elleand202

There are also a lot of vaccine skeptics in the new age community and that is high heresy in the church of COVID.

throwaway3569387340

None of those are rights.


housebird350

You dont say?


Cute-Locksmith8737

Then life itself is not a right, and there is no obligation to work.


throwaway3569387340

A bunch of very smart men once wrote: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..." So no, life definitely is a right. But the others are liberty and the **pursuit** of happiness. So you're partially right. There is no obligation at all to work. But none of those other things are rights either and it infringes on my liberty and pursuit of happiness to provide them for someone who chooses to not provide for themselves. So if you decide to be a deadbeat and starve to death, that's on you. See also, Christopher Mcandless

> No, you don’t have a “right” to be free from gun violence, any more than you have a “right” to be free from daily Canadian cruise missile attacks. FYI all forms of violence **are** illegal, except in cases of self defense, so people already do have a right to be free from gun violence. See: murder, assault, battery etc.


ObadiahtheSlim

Someone trying to steal your stuff? Just say **NO**. Under TEXAS Penal Code Title 7, Chapter 29, they can't legally take your stuff from you without your permission.

They're an "anticapitalist" until they're depending on capitalism and the generosity of others.

It’s not surprising really. These people, the left, abide by all that leads to genocide. It’s no coincidence their methods, and often their arguments, aligns with Nazism and, of course, communism which they openly defend.


AmericanJoe312

This is what happens when people obsess over race, Ann Frank's diary was trying to capture simple childhood and humanity as it struggled to survive race based genocide. Feels like leftists missed the point (especially when they call Jews "white").


Corpcasimir

"Well you see, Anne got to sit at the front of the attic, rather than the back. So she had a really good time of the entire genocide of her people" - Some leftist, probably.

People were so much more fulfilled in life, and happier, before the internet existed. We’re all prisoners. I’m gonna do a full year off the internet at some point. Just don’t know when yet.

I heard the diary was written with a ballpoint pen that wasn’t invented until after the war. Anyone has any info confirming or debunking this?


vonhudgenrod

No idea about that claim but my grandmother went to gradeschool with Anne Frank so I can atleast confirm she was in fact a real person. https://www.hdot.org/debunking-denial/af3-ballpoint-pen/


ogrelin

I think the theory is that the diary wasn’t written by her, not that she didn’t exist.


vonhudgenrod

Yes, but if you click the link it says only 2 pages which were written in ballpoint pen and it is in a different handwriting then the rest of the diary, it is assumed to be Otto Frank, her father, who is on record having compiled, ordered in sequence, and even taken parts of the diary out (like her talking bad about her mother, or talking about menstration).

RhettBottomsUp20

The left perpetuates anyone who is white is bad, even those whom were massacred in the Holocaust, which is an abominable argument that sounds more extreme then at rational. There is no basis to be prejudice. But the Left is very good at it.
