Its true in a way, i would word it differently but we're hated in almost every corner of the globe, even in our own countries. Other races are feeling the residuals of white supremacy that is originally put in place to oppress blacks so...:yeshrug: Black people get the worst of racism because its designed for us.

You don't have to be black, you just have to be whatever minority is the public enemy in a particular region at a particular time.
She also shouldn't really come at Rosie, as she has seen her share of discrimination for being gay and overweight.

Whoopi is taking the entitled black perspective, in which her victimhood is greater. Check history. EVERY group has been
subject to open racism. I live in heavily segregated Chicago and every neighborhood has had its share of racism from the Jews
to the Indians to the Polish. It isn't exclusive to black people to recognize racism, it is just an issue that seems to have taken its
historic turn on our behalf, black folks in America, a country which happened to be built on racism from day one.

I like Whoopi, I really do. But she's wrong here. To simply know what racism is?

“Listen, you are a white lady telling me what is racist to you, which is fine,” Goldberg told O’Donnell.

“I’m a gay-American that has been called a dyke,” O’Donnell said back.

I'm latino and I know what racism is.

But I'm sure this will devolve into a "I went through harder racism than you" thread.

It's like a race to the bottom, so to speak.
Exactly so if you arent on the bottom you wouldnt understand.
