I’m 100% dead certain that Whoopi Goldberg has heard the 1930s and ‘40s Third Reich notion that Nazis were building a “master race,” and that they regarded Jews as an inferior or untrustworthy tribe, and therefore the Holocaust was driven by racial hate. Whoopi has certainly absorbed this basic history lesson — who hasn’t? She therefore screwed up when she said otherwise on The View. I’n filing this under the heading of “an error of articulation,” but in today’s culture you have to be punished when you say the wrong thing.
