ABC Iced Whoopi Goldberg!

Black History Month starts with ABC putting Whoopi Goldberg on ice because she told a hard truth.

I am pissed. I find it quite hypocritical that ABC would ice The View host and moderator Whoopi Goldberg over comments that were relatively mild. The actress and talk show host was placed in the freezer for two weeks to reflect on the words that were said.

The very same network that allowed a peddler of misinformation like Karen McCain spew bullshit for four years without being being punished whatsoever.

I mean the extremists over at Fox have crossed ethical and journalistic standards for years it never been punished. "Softball" Hannity has the most controversial ties to Washed Up 45. He was revealed as a client of Michael Cohen. He has sexual harassment allegations. He deliberately pushed a fake story about Seth Rich and got the network sued. He pushed the "Big Lie" and claimed that Dominion and Smartmatic were literally changing their voting machines. He has communicated with the White House directly when it came to the insurrection and then pulled a 180 on the fact the Washed Up 45 was responsible for that day. Yet, he has never been punished.

Whoopi is just telling a hard truth about the Holocaust. Many Jews were victims of that horrible dictator and his fascist rule over Germany and nearly Europe. He and the Axis coalition nearly destroyed the world. The Allied coalition often peddled propaganda to make any criticism of actions treasonous or anti-semitic. 

Even with the debate over the Israel-Palestinian conflict, we driven with this narrative that any criticism of the government of Israel is equal to anti-semitic regardless of what that country of America does.

When Black Americans say hey, we have to understand that it was conflict of religion not race, they get riled up over it. Because that fascist dictator didn't like Blacks, but he knew they stayed in their lane. 

Yeah, Black Germans were killed by the Axis and Nazi regime. Goldberg didn't know that. But you can't equate the pain of slavery to the pain of the Holocaust. 

Every life was valued and no one should undermine the deaths of those poor humans at the hands of that fascist.

Goldberg was forced to apologize for the comments that were made on Monday. The far-right and the Zionists who support Israel's controversial policies reacted with the phony outrage. Mind you that slavery is a subject the far right wants Black America to get over. However, they still believe that we are trapped on a Democrat plantation.

Many were calling for a cannon firing. Others were saying that she was misguided. 

Even some Black enablers of white supremacy believe that she went too far.

I am so fired up about this. 

The far-right hates Black Americans bringing up issues involving race. They hate Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev. Jesse Jackson and Black Lives Matter. 

The far right often are calling the Democratic Party, the real racists.

The Democratic Party elected a Black man to be president twice. The very same party that elected a Black woman to be vice president. The very same party that has civil rights leaders like Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), John Lewis, Elijah Cummings, Shirley Chisolm, 

It is more about political philosophy than party. This is why conservatives are always regarded as racist. 

The phony outrage led to the ABC News president to make a public statement.

In a statement, ABC News president Kim Godwin bluntly described Goldberg's comments about the Holocaust, which were made on "The View" Monday, as "wrong and hurtful."

"While Whoopi has apologized, I've asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments," Godwin said. "The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family and communities."

Godwin told staff in an internal email, which was obtained by CNN, that decisions over disciplinary matters are "never easy." And Godwin said that she appreciated Goldberg's apology.

"But words matter and we must be cognizant of the impact our words have," Godwin told staffers in her memo explaining the network's decision to suspend the actor and comedian.

Goldberg first drew backlash on Monday morning when she insisted that the Holocaust was "not about race," but rather "man's inhumanity to man." Goldberg later went on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" where she attempted to explain the rationale for her comments. But what she said on that show only exacerbated the situation.

But later Monday night, as the controversy continued to grow, Goldberg issued a written apology. In it, she said she erred in her remarks and understood why they were wrong.

Whoopi Goldberg says she’s “very upset” that Holocaust remark about race was “misunderstood.”

"I'm sorry for the hurt I have caused," Goldberg said in her written statement.

Hours later, Goldberg opened up Tuesday's episode of "The View" offering yet another apology.

"I said something that I feel a responsibility for not leaving unexamined, because my words upset so many people, which was never my intention," Goldberg said. "I understand why now, and for that I am deeply, deeply grateful because the information I got was really helpful, and it helped me understand some different things."

After her on-air apology, Goldberg hosted a discussion with Anti-Defamation League president Jonathan Greenblatt. Greenblatt later said on Twitter that he accepted Goldberg's apology.

But Goldberg's initial comments had still roiled staffers across ABC News. Some staffers believed disciplinary action was warranted, according to people familiar with the matter who asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to publicly comment on the matter.

Others, however, came to Goldberg's defense and noted that her comments were made out of ignorance, not malice. One ABC News staffer told CNN that Goldberg had apologized and appeared to learn from her mistake, which they believed was key in evaluating whether to accept her apology.

Ana Navarro, a CNN political commentator who regularly guest hosts on "The View," separately told CNN that Goldberg's colleagues "know what's in her heart" and that she's "not an anti-Semite."

"When you have five women, discussing complex topics, in five-minute segments on unscripted, live TV, sometimes things come out the wrong way," Navarro said. "We are human and make mistakes. The difference between us and others is, we acknowledge it and try to correct it. Whoopi clarified and apologized without caveats."

Ultimately, however, after staying silent for most of the day, Godwin notified employees that she had made the decision to take disciplinary action.
