Whoopi Goldberg who is black and influenced by the false notion that only colored people can be victims of racial hatred.

She was slammed for uttering a most stupid irresponsible line as if the Nazi Holocaust was "not racially: motivated and was just an internal "dispute" among white people. Thus, indirecly insinuating somehow a cruel lie, as if the 6 Millions men, women and children systematically slaughtered were ever "doing" something against others.
Still, after sort of apologizing, she still doubled down on her malicious rewriting of history.
It is related to the erred notion that only colored people can be victims of racism, supposedly.
