Whoopi Goldberg Clarifies Comments About Jews, Race & The Holocaust
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nina Westervelt / Getty Earlier this month, The View host Whoopi Goldberg addressed past comments about race and the Holocaust. According to Deadline, Whoopi Goldberg made the comments while doing press for the movie Till where she plays the mother of Mamie Till-Mobley. “My best friend said, ‘Not for nothing is there no box on the census for the Jewish race. So that leads me to believe that we’re probably not a race,’” she said in the interview with the Sunday Times, which was published during Hanukkah. The comments were a callback to comments the Sister Act actor made at the top of 2022 where she said that “Nazis saw Jews as a race.” Sheadded, “Yes, but that’s the killer, isn’t it? The oppressor is telling you what you are. Why are you believi...
Whoopi Goldberg Says Blazing Saddles Is a “Great Comedy, Would Still Go Over Today”
Whoopi Goldberg defended the 1974 satire Blazing Saddles on the December 7th episode of The View, pushing back against critics who claim it couldn’t be made in 2022. The conversation was sparked by Mindy Kaling’s recent appearance on Good Morning America, where she claimed that The Office is “so inappropriate now” and that most of the characters “would be canceled” today. Goldberg rejected the premise by citing Blazing Saddles, which might be more challenging for modern audiences. “Blazing Saddles, because it’s a great comedy, would still go over today,” she said. “There are a lot of comedies that are not good, okay? We’re just going to say that. That’s not one of them. Blazing Saddles is one of the greatest because it hits everybody.”...
Whoopi Goldberg Wants Keke Palmer, Lizzo, Nicki Minaj And Anyone Who Wants ‘To Have Some Fun’ Join ‘Sister Act 3’ Cast
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Dia Dipasupil / Getty It has been nearly 30 years since the last Sister Act sequel, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, came out in 1993 and exactly 30 years after the original film premiered in 1992. (I’m not old, you’re old.) Well, now, Sister Act 3 is in development, and the film’s star, Whoopi Goldberg, appears to want all the currently relevant Black women to be a part of it. OK, so all she really mentioned specifically is that she wants Keke Palmer, Lizzo, and Nicki Minaj—who she hilariously referred to as “the girl with the chest”—to be included in the cast. “I’m gonna ask Keke to come. You know, I want everybody to come in. I want Lizzo to come,” Goldberg said during an appearance on Comedy Central’s Hell of A Week with Charlamagne Tha God. “I want a...
Whoopi Goldberg Wants Emmitt Till’s Accuser ‘In Front Of A Judge’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Dia Dipasupil / Getty Whoopi Goldberg wants the woman who falsely accused Emmitt Till and provoked his lynching to face justice and come out of hiding. The EGOT-accomplished actress and co-host of ABC’s The View made her position clear about Carolyn Bryant Donham, expressing her disbelief that she is still not being held accountable for her actions. “I don’t want her in jail but I want her in front of a judge and jury,” she said at a Q&A session at the New York Film Festival on Saturday night (Oct. 1). The session took place after the world premiere screening of Till, a new movie about the young Black teen whose death helped spark the Civil Rights Movement.

Whoopi Says Will Smith Will “Be Fine” After Oscars Slap
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ron Galella, Ltd. / Getty Whoopi Goldberg hasn’t been afraid to weigh in on the Oscars controversy involving Chris Rock and Will Smith, but she feels Smith will be okay in the long run. In the opening discussion on Monday’s (April 4th) episode of The View, the panel spoke about the recently publicized developments that Netflix and Sony have put film projects starring the King Richard actor on hold. This was reportedly in response to Smith slapping Rock after the comedian made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith at the Academy Awards a week ago. Related Stories “Some of Will Smith’s future projects are in question. The question is does he have a path back? Yes, of course, he does,” Goldberg said to open up the discussion with her co-hosts, chuckling....
Whoopi Goldberg ‘The View’ Co-Hosts “Furious” At Two Week Suspension
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jenny Anderson / Getty As Whoopi Goldberg was suspended for two weeks from her hosting duties on The View for two weeks over her recent remarks regarding the Holocaust, the decision reportedly isn’t sitting well with her fellow co-hosts. The actress was given a two-week suspension from the popular daytime talk show on Tuesday (February 1st) after making comments that the Holocaust was “not about race” during a discussion on the show the previous day. The immediate backlash from several Jewish organizations and others online prompted Goldberg to issue a public apology through her social media accounts and offer an on-air apology during the show the next day. Joy Behar briefly addressed the situation as the show began on Wednesday (February 2nd). “You all s...
‘The View’ Obstructed: Whoopi Goldberg Apologizes For Saying The “Holocaust Isn’t About Race”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jenny Anderson / Getty The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg has always been pretty hit-and-miss when it comes to making an argument that really makes use of thorough critical thinking skills. It’s like—on one hand she was always good for a blunt-yet-intellectual read when telling former co-host Meghan McCain to ST-entire-FU, but she also used to defend Bill Cosby like she was expecting a Huxtable-signed recommendation letter to Hilman. Recently on her show, Goldberg was having one of her “Nah, sis’, you really should have kept that one” moments when she spoke loud and wrong about the Holocaust during a discussion about the Tennessee school board’s ban of the book Maus. “Let’s be truthful about it because [the] Holocaust isn’t about race,” Goldberg said&...

Whoopi Goldberg Lands First Cover of “Black Cannabis Magazine,” Reveals She Is Launching Another Pot Company
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Getty Images / Getty Auntie Whoopi Goldberg is taking another pull at the pot game. For those who don’t know, before the white celebs like Jim Belushi and Seth Rogen “made it cool” to sell legalized pot, The View host and slayer of Meghan McCain, Whoopi Goldberg, has been long-time cannabis and entrepreneur when it comes to the magical plant. So it made perfect sense that Black Cannabis, a new magazine that focuses primarily on the people who honestly revolutionized the pot game at the expense of being unfairly jailed for it, tapped Goldberg to cover the first issue. Speaking about the cover, Goldberg added: “It’s an honor to grace the very first cover of Black Cannabis Magazine… As a long-time cannabis advocate and entrepreneur, I’m happy to support the ...
