    The two-week suspension is just them trying to say 'well we did something' - it seems more than a bit childish.

    Why not just introduce a Naughty Chair?

    They'd really be better off examining and discussing why Whoopi Goldberg believes this about race, because I think it's indicative of a larger issue, particularly in America, where people frequently seem to think of race as being binary. You're either black, or white, with a quiet shout-out for 'Hispanic', which doesn't even mean what it says.

    Indeed. Look at the current VEEP, and 44. Both of them, as @89th frequently pointed out, are half-white.

      Kamala isn't half white. Isnt' her mother a tamil, and her father Afro-caribbean?

      But people saying she is proves my point.

      I was only joking

              Of course not.

              And that's where your point about binary-ism is valid.

              They're not negroid, either. Mongoloid, perhaps?

                Some snark from the RWEC:

                Suspended for what? Being an idiot? They’ve kept Goldberg on the air for almost 15 years on The View despite the general idiocy and mean-girl aesthetic that permeates the show. (They don’t have a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio of progressives to conservatives for nothing, after all.) ...The environment is so demeaning to any heterodox position that the producers are finally having trouble finding a conservative woman willing to play the role of Christian in the Colosseum.

                This smells like cancel culture, punishing an opinionator for opining. If not that, it’s at least a kind of moral cowardice among ABC network execs who were willing to turn a blind eye to the bullying and vacuousness at The View until they themselves were personally offended by it. Now, suddenly, Goldberg has to get punished for stupidity, mainly because either (a) she pissed off the executives at the network personally, or (b) she’s being offered as a kind of sacrifice to deflect attention from the utter moral failure of The View. There’s no real option (c) here.

                And the best:

                Perhaps this spectacular intellectual and moral implosion will remind many of them that there are better ways to spend an hour. Just staring out the window at the weather for an hour would be less dangerous to the intellect.

                      I’m trying to figure out which is more stupid, her comment or the 2 week suspension.

                      I think the suspension wins.

                                Whoopie's pissed and threatening to quit.

                                Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

                                It's kind of delicious watching them eat their own, and Whoopie's to stupid to see this.

                                    Tyrus said on Gutfeld! last night he had talked to some of buddies who do some security work for one of the hosts of The View.

                                    He was told that Whoopi and Behar simply do not like each other, never hang out between segments and Behar was delighted with Whoopi's current situation

                                        Do I think she was stupid for saying what she said?

                                        Yup.

                                        Do I think she was ignorant as to what racism can be?

                                        Yup.

                                        Do I think her apology was sincere?

                                        Insofar as that she realizes the two things above, yup. As in, "I'm sorry you were offended" sorry.

                                          Well, considering the same company fired Gina Carano for posting this on Instagram
                                          2AE21B17-6A1C-4B72-B41B-8977C485C7B5.png

                                          I would suggest that Caryn should be fired at least to maintain consistency. If not, then I would suggest that Gina Carano is due an absolute shit-ton of money from said company.
