whoopi goldberg is not anti-semitic, okay?st not understanding --, and that's really sad because a lot of americans do not understand the nature and the roots of the holocaust. abc, you don't know what considerations were being had or what kind of calls that they had. i understand that they felt they had to do something, but we not allowed -- are we not allowed to learn from our mistakes and learn about something that we didn't know beforehand? this is really pushing it, in my opinion. howard: jason, of course whoopi goldberg is not anti-semitic. she chose the name goldberg saying she identifies with the jewish people, but if she had done nothing, wouldn't abc say the network's condoning this kind of language that is completely, flatly wrong? >> yeah. i viewed it as abc sent her on a two week vacation, and maybe she's learning something from it. if i hope she is. but you're right, karen johnson, aka whoopi goldberg, i don't know. i mean, there are a lot of people, if you're looking to whoopi goldberg for your political news an

um, but whoopi goldberg made a mistake.oblem in the best way we can with lots of counter speak, lots of people pointing out the mistake she made. she realized that she had made a mistake. as you say, she apologized live on air. and that to me was a great teaching moment. viewers of "the view" may have learned something from it, may have come away with a better understanding of -- of this tragic part of human history and i don't see what is accomplished by telling her basically to go take a timeout, sit in the corner of a room and be ashamed of herself. this is just a way for network executives to -- to demonstrate that they are taking this seriously. it doesn't really accomplish anything in the real world. >> professor west, let me play whoopi's original comments, again, and then we will have our conversation. here it is. >> if you are going to do this, then let's be truthful about it because the holocaust isn't about race. >> no. >> no. it's not about race. >> ethnicity. >> it's about -- >> but it's -- it's not about race.

it's very hard to cancel anybody and whoopi is not going to be cancelled.etter way to handle this would have been to inform her that maybe she is missing or forgetting something. in this case you get the feeling she's not fully aware or wasn't at that moment that jews used to be seen as a separate race and that that's how the nazis saw them and tell them that it can be hurtful to jewish people for that to be ignored and neglected and then just move on because i think whoopi goldberg has proven herself to be a thoroughly decent human being over the 35 years that she's been a public presence. and the notion that because she has a fact wrong and nevertheless she actually understands the horror of the holocaust, she's not trying to minimize it, she's not trying to say that anything is lesser than it was, she was just making a kind of a taxanomic point saying all the people involved are what we would call white. that does not an she should not be allowed to work for two weeks. anybody who thinks that's normal is forgetting what normal leitch -- life was like in,

on whoopi, we're a long way from the movie "ghost," aren't we?former major player at "the view," it changed my perspective on what may happen with ms. goldberg, if that will be her name. the entire cast doesn't care for each other very much. many thought it was the problem with meghan mccain. none of them get along and you are seeing leaks from other co-hosts who don't want whoopi to come back period. it allows joy behar to be the moderator, which would be craptastic. i thought she would probably come back, she just signed a new contract that pays seven figures, i'm not so sure now. "the view's" ratings are plummeting. they are talking about how horrible gorsuch is instead of acknowledge whatting happened with whoopi, with some discussion from more than joy behar speaking on the matter. >> carley: jeff zucker not coming back to cnn at all, he resigned after failing to disclose relationship with a colleague, what do you know approximate this situation? do you think that is the reason he resigned? >> joe: no. when you see this, carley and you have

but others i talked to said, look, whoopi apologized. a teaching moment. she had the head of the anti-defamation league on "the view" yesterday and they had this moment where they talked about the holocaust and what it was about. some people think, you know, that maybe abc may have gone too far with the suspension. the head was actually on cnn and he says he hopes it can be used as a learning moment. >> this is an opportunity for whoopi, and i think for "the view" to engage in some education and introspection. you can imagine whoopi going to the museum of jewish heritage, the holocaust museum, working with an ngo. there are many great ones, adl included, but lots. maybe "the view" could think about how do they deal with the representation on their show? maybe they could have a host on "the view." that would be a good start. >> they are looking to perhaps install a jewish co-host in the vacant seat they have right now. we'll see if abc follows through and takes it under consideration. >> listen, it never hurts to continue talking about th

>> whoopi goldberg resigned with abc a few months ago. business element to this, martha. it's a four-year contract. that goes into the seven figure category. so it makes it hard for abc if they're looking at this from a business perspective to just cut ties with somebody who has been with the network so long. staffers are upset here. they felt the comments were bad enough and her explanation for it on colbert made things even worse. again, it bears repeating some of the things that she said yesterday as far as her comments. and one of them was about, you know, this is between white people and other white people. that was hitler's argument. it was about race and jews are inferior and six million of them have to be murdered. for what she said on colbert last night, again about how the germans, the nazis didn't know who jewish people were and they had to delve deeply? that's what the stars were for. they found six million of them, a lot of people are upset. you don't see a lot of media backlash in terms of soaring editorial times in the "new

but of course the biggest news in the cancel phil was whoopi goldberg got canceled, well for a couples anyway from the view. this after whoopi had issued a puzzling declaration on the holocaust suggesting the nazis who slaughtered 6 million jews weren't really racist. >> the holocaust is not about race. now it's not about race. >> it's a different race. >> it's not about race. it is not about race. >> what is it about? >> it is about man's inhumanity to man. that is what it is about perspectives about white supremacy.
