Whoopi Goldberg Defends Mel Gibson's Racist Rant


 
We're no experts, but we think Whoopi Goldberg could probably find a better cause to take up than the defense of Mel Gibson, who was recently caught on tape spouting racial slurs during an argument with estranged girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.

On 'The View' (weekdays, syndicated), Goldberg vehemently defended Gibson, arguing that she knows the actor personally and doesn't think he's a racist.

"I don't like what he did here. But, I know Mel and I know he's not a racist," Goldberg said.

"Well, that language certainly sounds racist to me," Joy Behar countered.

"I can't sit and say that he's a racist, having spent time with him in my house with my kids," Goldberg replied. "I can't say it."

I will. why? because more than likely you have never seen a a true blackface vaudeville performance in your life nor have you been a slave on a southern plantation. You are just in the dark as i am. There is such thing as reverse racism. I will defend the right for people to offend and be offended.

Lol, Gwyneth Paltrow is such a moron. The worst kind, too -- the moron that thinks she's socially conscious and classy. Completely clueless.

The ad is about AIDS and how AIDS transcends boarders. The tag is not to be taken literal. By Gwyneth saying she is "African" it is meant to say she has empathy. It is obvious she is not African but that does not mean Gwyneth cannot have sympathy for them.

I love when people use the term "reverse racism" because it reveals that they believe racism is "supposed" to be directed at non-white people. The term is just racism, you fucking idiot. What you meant to say is "it is possible to exhibit racism against white people, you know."

You probably did mean to say "reverse racism" though. Ugh.

I realize that but unfortunately not too many people acknowledge it. Since the word racism is often used in association with white. The word gives a false definition of "white people against the minority" specifically white men. I am happy to read that you are so passionate about the misuse of "reverse racism" however since its true definition is overlooked I will have to use "reverse" before racism.

NO. THERE. IS NOT. Fucking read a book. Learn what racism ACTUALLY MEANS. I'm white and have no problem admitting that "reverse racism" is a total straw man. Good job, you just earned yourself an LJ note.
