That reports variety. “Whoopi Goldberg has been suspended for two weeks for the wrong and hurtful comments she made,” ABC chief Kim Godwin said in a statement. “Although Whoopi did apologize, I asked her to take time to reflect and learn from the things she said. The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family and communities.”
Goldberg came under fire from various Jewish organizations after she said in the talk show that during the Holocaust it was ‘two groups of white people facing each other’ and that therefore you cannot speak of a race issue. “On the show, I said that the Holocaust wasn’t about race, it was about how people can be inhumane to other people. I should have said it’s about both,” the actress later responded on Twitter. She then also apologized.
