January 1, Whoopi Goldberg Apologizes for Using Ethnic Slur on ‘The View’ [Video]
Whoopi Goldberg landed herself in hot water once again, this time for using an ethnic slur on a recent episode of The View.
During the show’s broadcast, the 67-year-old used an offensive term derived from a slur for the Romani people. Goldberg noted that some of former President Donald Trump’s supporters think “he got gy—d somehow in the election.”
The term, derived from “gypsy,” was once commonly used to describe being cheated or swindled. Merriam-Webster classifies it as an offensive term.
After Goldberg used the term on the air, Twitter users were quick to point out that it is deeply offensive to Romani people. Some shared an NPR article from 2013, titled Why Being [slur] Hurts The Roma More Than It Hurts You.
Not long after, Goldberg issued an apology.
“You know, when you’re a certain age you use the words that you know from when you were a kid or you remember saying, and that’s what I did today and I shouldn’t have,” she said in a video posted to Twitter.
“I should have thought about it a little longer before I said it and I didn’t. I should have said ‘cheated’ and I used another word and I’m really, really sorry.”

Gotta love that black privilege that gets this racist off every time. If it was a white woman who has said the litany of bad taste that has emanated from this clown’s mouth, they would have been fired. But she makes her lame apology and everything is fine.

Why is OK for asshole leftists like Whoopbitch Goldberg to make offensive remarks about other cultures, white people and anybody she doesn’t like on national TV? Everybody else gets cancelled, but this bitch can say “Sorry” (and we know damn well she DOES NOT mean these words) and all is expected to be forgiven? These broadcasts are seen worldwide by people in all countries, yet she constantly gets a pass. This women and her cohorts are disgusting examples of womankind. They are horrible women. They do NOT possess one iota of tenderness or a loving heart. All they do is spew hate.. When are you people going to rise up and say “Enough!” We should not be subject to the whims of these disgusting witches any longer. It is past time for “The View” to go to hell..

I watched about 15 minutes of the view about 3/4 into the first season to see what the comedy news shows in the morning were all going on about. When a long commercial break came I changed the channel because I felt like my IQ level had degraded from watching the show. The View can reduce the viewers IQ level. Which is what it was designed to do.
Has there ever been a regular on the show who wasn’t a total idiot? No. That is by design. A individual that wasn’t wouldn’t do that show and not a good enough actor to do it and not projectile vomit. So they got real life morons pandering to the mindless.
