Whoopi Goldberg is being compelled to apologize — yet again — for using a Holocaust slur

Whoopi Goldberg has once more apologized for her remarks suggesting that the Holocaust was “not about race.”

A representative for the 67-year-old actress released a statement to The Post on Tuesday, just days after she repeated the Holocaust insult that led to her suspension from “The View” in February.

“My best friend stated, ‘There is no box on the census form for the Jewish race for no reason.’ This leads me to believe that we are most likely not a race,’” Goldberg had told the Sunday Times of London.

In her second statement, she attempted to stress that she was merely alluding to her previous harmful comments and not “doubling down” on them.

“Recently, when conducting press in London, I was questioned about my remarks from earlier this year. Goldberg said, “I attempted to explain to the reporter what I had said and why, as well as recount the incident.” “I never intended to appear as if I was doubling down on cruel remarks, especially after speaking with and hearing rabbis and old and new friends weigh in.”

“I’m still learning a great deal, and believe me, I listened to everything that was told to me. I believe the Holocaust was about race, and I am as sorry today as I was then that I offended, injured, and enraged people. Please accept my heartfelt apologies once more, especially to those who believed this to be a new discussion on the topic. I swear it wasn’t.

“In this day of escalating antisemitism, I want to make it quite clear that I have always stood with the Jewish people and will continue to do so indefinitely. My support for them has never wavered, nor will it ever,” she said.

Goldberg participated in the Sunday Times interview to promote her new film “Till,” in which she will portray Alma Carthan, the mother of civil rights pioneer Mamie Till-Mobley, whose 14-year-old son Emmett Till was tortured and murdered in 1955. When the interviewer reminded Goldberg that “Nazis viewed Jews as a race,” she remarked that there is a discussion regarding whether Jews constitute a race or a religious organization.

“Yes, but isn’t that the fatal flaw?” Goldberg reacted. “The oppressor informs you of your identity. Why do you accept their word? They are Nazis Why should you believe their claims?

“At first, it wasn’t about race. Remember who they killed first,” the speaker said. “They weren’t killing based on race; they were killing physically.” They were murdering those they believed to be mentally deficient. Then they arrived at this choice.”

Goldberg made identical remarks on an episode of “The View” at the beginning of the year and then reiterated them on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” that same evening.

President of ABC News Kim Godwin tweeted at the time, “Although Whoopi has apologized, I have asked her to take some time to reflect on the implications of her remarks.”

In response to significant outcry and the Anti-Defamation League’s interest, Goldberg retracted her views on Twitter that evening.

“According to Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League, ‘The Holocaust involved the methodical extermination of the Jewish people, whom the Nazis viewed as an inferior race,’” the passage continues. She wrote, “I stand corrected.”
