Goldberg Suspended by ABC Over Holocaust Remarks

Goldberg responded by saying…“If you’re going to do this, then let’s be truthful about it because the Holocaust isn’t about race.” said Goldberg. No, it’s not about race,” Goldberg added after some back and forth. “It’s not about race. It’s about man’s inhumanity to man. That’s what it’s about.”

Goldberg doubled down after some pushback from her fellow cohosts but that was just the beginning of the firestorm she had created.

She even went on the Jimmy Fallon Late Night Talk Show to apologize for comments. “These are two White Groups of people,” said Goldberg. “Let’s talk about it for what it is, it’s how people treat each other. That’s the problem. It doesn’t matter if you are Black or White, because Black, White, Jews, Italians, everybody eats each other.” said Golberg.

However that wasn’t enough damage control for the ABC network as they announced via twitter that Goldberg was suspeneded effective immediately for two weeks.
