Opinion: Whoopi Goldberg’s Holocaust comments show why we need critical race analysis

I tend to agree with this woman . . . as knowledgeable and worldly as Goldberg is - can we ask . . .

What was she taught?

More deeply, however, Goldberg’s misguided rant shows why there is a need for including critical race-based analysis of how we teach world history. By silencing her, ABC demonstrates how American media continues to show a near-complete inability to responsibly interrogate whiteness and White Christian supremacy.

What could have become a good discussion and learning not just for Goldberg - but ALL . . . gets resolved and 'goes away' in two weeks. And this is happening at a time when white Christian heterosexual parents are shoving their ignorance, fear, and so-called self-esteem and feelings down our throats.
