WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Why She Has No Place To Be Talking About ‘Blackness’
The net worth of the average single black woman in America is only $5.
The worth of media mogul Whoopi Goldberg is $45 million.
Â
That makes me wonder: What does Goldberg know about being a black woman?
Â
I first asked that question in 2012 when Goldberg exploded on the set of The View during an interview with conservative writer Ann Coulter.
Â
“Well tell me what you know about being black,” Goldberg said to Coulter.
Â
Not much has changed.
Â
In recent days Goldberg has focused her tantrum on another conservative, actor Kelsey Gammer. The winner of five Primetime Emmy Awards and three Golden Globe Awards was photographed wearing a t-shirt that included the image of a handgun and the words, “Would it bother us more if they used guns?”
Â
The shirt include the website ABORT73.com, a pro-life organizaton.Â
Â
Whoopi’s response?Â
Â
LifeNews.com quoted Goldberg as retorting, “Men should shut up about abortion.”
Â
It appears that Goldberg believes that only black woman are qualified to address social and economic issues relative to themselves and that only neo-feminists should speak to pre-natal baby killing.Â
Â
Again, that makes me wonder: Who is Whoopi Goldberg? Is the multimillionaire truly qualified to speak for black women? Is she qualified to speak for all women?Â
Â
Whoopi reportedly assumed a Jewish surname to advance her prospects in the entertainment industry which has a significant Jewish presence, particularly among movers and shakers.
Â
Whoopi also has a long history of romantic interests in white men. Her three former husbands, Alvin “Louise” Martin, David Claessen, and Lyle Trachtenberg and former live-in partner Frank Langella, were all white.
Â
I know of few black women who marry white men. I know of no others who have had three white husbands and a white live-in partner.
Â
Few people know that the millionaire lived, by choice, in communist East Germany from 1979 to 1981. The now-defunct nation was, at the time, overwhelmingly white. To my knowledge, Whoopi has never lived in or spent time in a nation with a black majority population.
Â
Like many Africans in America, Whoopi prefers to live among whites and complain about mistreatment, injustice and lack of respect rather than move to a sub-Saharan nation, such as Zimbabwe or Cameroon, and invest her talents to the advantage of her people.
Â
According to Wikipedia, “Results of a DNA test, revealed in the 2006 PBS documentary African American Lives, traced part of her ancestry to the Papel and Bayote people of modern-day Guinea-Bissau. Her admixture test indicates that she is 92 percent of sub-Saharan African origin and 8 percent of European origin.”
