Aren’t cats supposed to kill mice? Isn’t it seen as a good thing? Rodents are considered vermin and spread disease.

What sort of book is this

That’s exactly what she was implying.

Her analogy was that it wasn’t racist because you couldn’t see the difference in the people. Her implication was that racism against black people is worse because white people can see their skin is dark.

I heard a black person say that Jews and Asians couldn't be victims because they were largely successful eventhough they have historically faced a lot in the past. Doesn't that kind of disprove modern systemic racism though? Jews and Asians tend go into higher education and entrepreneurship at higher rates than even whites. Doesn't thatptove that if you work hard and are somewhat intelligent, you can at least reach middle class status?

I've never seen "The View", only snippets on YouTube. Out of curiosity- who/what is the target demographic of the show?

An unnecessary one, with too many pictures.

Whoopi says dumb stuff and this was just another dumb comment; however, aren’t they paying people like Whoopi to sit around and give their opinions? It’s her opinion, why are we suspending or terminating people for giving their opinion when that’s what they are getting paid for? The only thing dumber than her comment was them punishing her for doing her job.

Who are the people who aren't offended by denying the reality of the Holocaust?

All it takes is one out of line comment for a Conservative to be canceled and labeled a racist.

The same should apply to Anti-Semitic Liberals.

They fired Sharon Osbourn for saying Piers Morgan was not a racist.

Whoopie got two weeks for saying the Nazi's weren't racist.

Tell me more about how that "equity" thing works.

I read something on this earlier. What she said was inaccurate, but I read something where she explained later that she was saying the holocaust wasn't about race, it was about being inhumane.

This is based on the little bit I read, but this seems to be blown out of proportion.

While I understand some people might be glad to see a black person get in trouble for saying something racist because often its people who say something about black people that are getting "canceled", I just think its dangerous when you are against something, but okay when it happens to certain people. In the long run it will just make things worse, but I don't think she meant anything hurtful by her comment.

Of course I could be wrong, but this story just doesn't seem worth all of this discussion.
