Whoopi Said the Holocaust Was Not About Race…Was She Right?
It’s time for an honest conversation about definitions
Disclaimer: I pray you still like me after this, if not then it is cool. This is an article about education for all of us to continue the healing. Not bashing. Thank you.
I blame the school system for not properly training us on several key terms that we mistakenly misuse.
As adults that read and have access to definitions right at our fingertips, it is no longer an excuse though.
On Monday, Whoopi Goldberg said that the Holocaust was not about race.
She said it was basically two different “white groups”.
One ofher co-hosts said it was white supremacy.
To understand why I believe Whoopi should not have been suspended, let’s delve into what each term actually mean, shall we?
Jewish is not a color
What exactly is the hangup on this? Maybe I missed something.
Race includes a phenotype, a color or hue. Biology. When someone asks me what race I am, I will not say Christian. Christianity has no color, and as Jesus says in Galatians 3:28, there is no male or female, Jew or Greek.
