Black Americans destroy Whoopi Goldberg’s claim that life for blacks is ‘the same’ as for Iranians



The women of “The View,” who lead arguably some of the most privileged lives in the world, got into a heated debate this week when co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin elaborated on the many human rights violations perpetrated under the Ayatollah’s regime in Iran.

Those include executions of gay people and the imprisonment of women who dare to venture outside without their hair covered.

“Iranians literally throw gay people off of buildings,” Griffin said, before Goldberg laid into her.

"Let’s not do that, because if we start with that, we have been known in this country to tie gay folks to the car. Listen, I'm sorry, they used to just keep hanging black people," Goldberg said.

"In the year 2025 in the United States, it is nothing like if I step foot wearing this outfit into Iran right now," Griffin said.


"It is the same," Goldberg responded, and when Griffin attempted to argue, Goldberg responded, “Not if you’re black.”

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock of "Jason Whitlock Harmony" couldn’t be less surprised that Goldberg holds such a view, and neither can his panel.

“Delusion is a stronghold, and oftentimes when you are too well fed for too long, you forget what actual hunger feels like,” BlazeTV contributor Delano Squires comments.

“My initial thought, and it’s not my strongest, but why is this on TV? Who is funding this? This is a level of delusion and a conversation so far removed from reality. Why is this on television, and why are corporations and advertisers supporting this?” Whitlock chimes in.

“It just frustrates me because it is allowed to be on TV when it’s so far-fetched and ridiculous. I don’t, as a black person, walk around every day feeling like I even compare to these women or people in these other countries, and Whoopi knows this, and she understands this, but yet she’s allowed to push this type of rhetoric,” Shemeka Michelle agrees.

“So for Whoopi to be able to push this narrative on national TV, ABC should be ashamed of themselves,” she adds.

Washington Post forced to admit affirmative action ruling is 'quite popular' — even with black Americans



The Supreme Court landmark ruling restricting affirmative actions programs was one of the most controversial decisions of the 2022-2023 term if you asked Democrats and the media.

But according to average Americans, it's one of the most expected and popular.

The Washington Post reported on Thursday the decision was not only "quite popular," but explained the data shows that "even Black Americans are unlikely to strongly object" to the ruling.

The data includes at least two major polls. A new Economist/YouGov poll, for example, showed that 59% of Americans approved of the ruling while just 27% disapproved. That's a more than two-to-one gap. The findings corroborate an ABC News poll that found Americans approve of the decision by a 20-point margin over those who dislike it.

The Post, moreover, highlighted what is "striking" about the data: Black Americans approve of the ruling:

What’s particularly striking about the Economist/YouGov poll is how Black Americans responded. Indeed, more of them actually approved of the decision (more than 4 in 10) than disapproved (fewer than 4 in 10). And more Black Americans “strongly” approved (31 percent) than disapproved (26 percent).

This finding is also in line with previous polling. While polls have long shown Black Americans in favor of affirmative action, The Washington Post-Schar School poll showed nearly half (47 percent) supported banning the use of race and ethnicity in admissions.

The Post tried to explain away black approval by attributing it to a "lack of a perceived personal connection to the policy."

But this explanation discounts the obvious reason why black Americans might oppose race-based college admissions: They know what it's like to be reduced into a monolith based on skin color.

Perhaps black Americans do not overwhelmingly support affirmative action, to the surprise of the mainstream media, because they understand precisely what Justice Clarence Thomas explained in a concurring opinion last week: that categorizing Americans by their skin color is an inherently unjust endeavor because one group always loses at the benefit of another.

"This vision of meeting social racism with government-imposed racism is thus self-defeating, resulting in a never-ending cycle of victimization," Thomas wrote.

"In the wake of the Civil War, the Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment charted a way out: a colorblind Constitution that requires the government to, at long last, put aside its citizens’ skin color and focus on their individual achievements," he added.
