Leftards are fucked up.WATCH: Whoopi Goldberg defends 'woke,' says Lincoln statue needed to come down
The View's Whoopi Goldberg defended being "woke" on Thursday, disagreeing with late-night host Bill Maher's recent claims in an interview with CNN's Jake
dumn whoop is sticking hger foot in her mouth. if it were not lincoln blacks would still be in chains.
Look at the racism displayed in this thread. If we need to have it out in this country once and for all then so be. I don't mean violently but if politically people want to side with these racist pieces of shit I say let them. At least we know where we all stand. Then maybe we finally address it.
The country is in need of an honest conversation on race, and we're not within 50 light years of being ready for that. That's because neither end of the debate is willing to hold its own end accountable.
That's a dodge. Here you are taking sides with piece of shit racists and for what? You tell me what Whoopie said that was a problem. She gave her opinion that a statue depicting Lincoln holding the hand of a slave (which many Black people feel is a patronizing depiction of white people leading blacks where they think we need to go) didn't fit with this time and with this culture. Do the perspectives of black people not matter? Are we not allowed opinions? Are we not allowed to influence culture? Are we now allowed to be part of the debate of what gets celebrated and memorialized in our country? She didn't call anyone names. She gave an opinion about what our country should display as culturally significant to our people in this time and look how these racist pieces of shits responded. If you want to jump on that side be my ******* guest. I won't miss you. I promise.
Yes, I'm taking sides against the two narcissistic, closed-minded ends of our political spectrum. As usual. I'm with the segment of the country that sees problems on both ends and would rather see the two ends intelligently and honestly work together to fix them.
What problem? You still haven't defined what was problematic about Whoopies opinion.
Neither side of the debate can even agree on two versions of reality that are somewhat similar.
Because, obviously, that statue can be interpreted in more than one way. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that. Instead, Whoopie decides that HER interpretation is what matters, and that HER interpretation is the one that must be acted upon. Something must be changed because of HER interpretation.
What a ridiculous summation. Everyone is allowed to have an opinion, whoopie gave hers. No where in there did she suggest she should have dictatorial powers to decide whether or not it stands. That happens through the democratic process.
Maher doesn't focus on real racism, he focuses on distracting you with culture war bullshit. Whoopie isn't suggesting the statue is an important symbol of racism, she's just saying she'd rather see something else there. Maher could be focusing on real issues, but he chooses to cry over this nonsense nothing story.
No, placating to racists and acting like black people having an opinion on a statue is the end of your ******* world is what makes things worse.
I feel like the way of reaching the goal to remove the statue is pretty straight forward. Vote people into office who feel likewise.
Did you see me attacking Whoopie, or trying to get her shut down or shut up? Like, say, a conservative on a college campus? Nope. You sure didn't. I'm a passionate advocate of freedom of expression.
No need for red herring and strawman arguments. We weren't talking about a conservative on college campus and neither was Whoppie. I did see this from you though.
Again. Where is the senselessness in Whoopie and black people having an opinion on what our government memorializes? You don't seem to be able to answer that question with a straight forward answer.
Really? What is this big problem that Maher sees with race that Black Americans don't?
It can be. By fighting racists and racist ideologies and showing them to be full of shit. And we've done a pretty good job of it. The younger generations are a lot more diverse, progressive and less racist than previous generations.
Of course racists are going to push back when we fight racism. Of course racists are going to push back when marginalized communities are finally listened to and given a voice. If you're afraid of push back then you should sit the fight out.
You keep pretending that I'm saying Whoopie should not be allowed to have an opinion, or to express an opinion. I didn't say that. I said the opposite. You're being dishonest now. Can you get past that?
