She could have explained that the Nazis killed Polish people, POWs, homosexuals, handicapped people, german people who were not for the Nazis. Literally anyone they deemed not acceptable.
How did the jews make that about themselves?

FYI, even when the allies liberated the camps, the homosexuals were not "freed" they were sent to prison camps to serve out their prison term (which is life). Got no compensation for being victims.
I did not know that :ohhh:. In fact, I know very little of The Holocaust other than the very known facts. Wow.

Because in the context of Nazi Germany, European Jews weren’t considered white.

fair enough but aboriginies were not considered human .. so does that mean that their treament by gringo invaders was not racist? is their treament by gringo aussies today not racist?

in other words is it an abberant view of them that is the arbiter of what it racist and what is not, or it is the factual (social albeit but broader) definition of what they are that actually determines racism betweeen groups?

if a racist gringo attacked a black women because he said she was not human does that mean that he could not be prosectued under racially aggravated legislation because "not human" is not a "race".

it seems as if certain groups get special privileges beyond what their position in society or daily lived racism would suggest is appropriate. and i guess that happens because there is an imbalance of power in society between the different oppressed groups.

Whoopi fukked up basically and for someone who's been in Hollywood as long as she has, it's kind of dumb. Historically speaking, Hitler's mein Kampf was about the master race and how Jews, poles, gypsy's, etc were inferior races. Are Jews a race, are gypsy's a race, etc, can't speak for Hitler but the Holocaust was about race in the lense through Hitler's. Other groups were targeted outside of race like homosexuals, disabled.

I don't think what she said was anti semitic I just think it was either ignorant or in the context of how she viewed raced currently. Either way if I would her I would have just nodded. If she said Jews aren't a race then it's a completely different conversion but to say the Holocaust wasn't about race when Hitler's whole campaign was to be the superior race and to exterminate inferior races for the rest of mixing with a superior race is just plain ignorant.

The nazis didn’t view them as white tho even tho technically they were white ….. what ever hitler said in those days went so by that hitler n them were trying to wipe out a different race to them …. What’s funny about that is in history hitler had a Jewish girlfriend in his younger days … what a goofy …..

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
Packed her ass up. Black folks always wanna frontline and cape for other groups.
That’s the crazy part. Most people I see shytting on her are black people and I damn near NEVER see Jewish people on the front line for us. Let’s get it straight. The Jewish people offended. Are fukking factually Caucasian racially. Just cause Hitler was an ignorant muthafukka don’t make the truth not be the truth. Holocaust wasn’t ONLY about race but race was a big factor.

long story short, there is a lot that went into what lead up to the Holocaust

it’s more complex story than to just label it “racism” or teach it as 1 race vs the next or even use race back then as we think of our modern day definition of “race” which is a very Black/white idea defined by our history of Slavery

Watch what she says on the Colbert show

she explains herself more clearly.
