'You are a white lady telling me what is racist!': Whoopi Goldberg rages at Rosie O'Donnell in latest screaming match on The View
The battle of the victims. Who gets greater points for being more persecuted thus more worthy of your support: the half-jewish black woman or the lesbo with the adopted black child? Tough call.
"A screaming match over racism erupted between Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O'Donnell on Thursday's episode of The View.
The show's co-hosts were discussing the news that Barack Obama was mistaken for a valet.
Goldberg dismissed the confusion as one of stupidity, with Americans failing to identify the most important man in the country and the world.
But when O'Donnell suggested racism may have been a key factor in the incident, Goldberg became enraged.
'You are a white lady telling me what is racist to you,' she shouted.
O'Donnell hit back in the segment: 'I'm a gay American whose been called an [expletive].
'I have a black kid at my house, Whoopi. I have a black kid I raise!'
Goldberg exclaimed: 'That is not the same thing.'
O'Donnell: 'You don't have to be black to know what racism is.'
Goldberg: 'Yes you do.
'America is not just a racist country, because there are white people who get it.
'That is why I will not accept the blanket statement that American is racist.'
"The battle of the victims. Who gets greater points for being more persecuted thus more worthy of your support"
I remember the black and white program from the sixties, "Queen for a Day"
Storyline
"Do YOU want to be Queen for a Day?!" Host Bailey would bellow out those words before each program, to which the audience would reply en masse: "YES!" Four women, each having a sob story to tell, told Bailey why they believed they should be crowned the show's "Queen." Usually, each contestant asked for a merchandise prize, such as a washer and dryer. After all four stories were told, the audience determined the winner by applause (determined via the "applause meter"). The winner won her prizes, plus was bedecked in a sable-trimmed red velvet robe and jeweled crown. Interspersed between the contestants' stories was fashion commentary.
If you want a trip back to another time watch an episode for yourself....
the world is so different now!!!

I want to know is it only the Black community that is the victim of racism (thin skinness) because last week in had to get gas at a Black owned store and was told my kind was not welcome there and not because I don't have an EBT card I was a victim of racism my feelings were hurt for about 2 seconds So I went to the Pakistani store and got my gas with only disapproving looks for my white privilege but they took my money with glee--True Story--
