On Tuesday’s airing of “The View”, co-host Whoopi Goldberg proposed a wild suggestion when she advised “white people” to “step up” and not make skin color an issue in America. While The View has always been known for spreading some of the most outrageous liberal theories, even the guest, Michele Tafoya, a sports reporter for NBC, was confused. It was Tafoya who started the whole conversation by asking the audience why children are being taught so much about skin color in the first place. 

During the interview, Tafoya told the panel of hosts, “Why are we even teaching that the color of the skin matters? Cause to me, what matters is your character and your values.”

While Tafoya is right, Goldberg couldn’t help but interject. “Yes, but you know, you live in the United States. You know that color of skin has been mattering to people for years. Can’t we change it so it doesn’t? Well, we need white people to step up and do that!”

The conversation spiraled out of control after that as Tafoya proudly suggested that white people have been trying to change the narrative since the Civil War. Obviously, that did sit well with Goldberg as she snapped back.”No, no, no, no, they haven’t! … Listen, when you have a country — or let’s talk about a state — where somebody can be hung from a tree, and it’s OK?”

Goldberg added, “Well, it was OK. It was OK in the South. People did it all the time. People would run you down. And not that long ago.”

Not wanting to miss out on her moment in the spotlight too, Co-host Sunny Hostin stated “there are still lynchings going on today.” 

In the end, Goldberg concluded that it was important to teach children to hate racism to “get to the place that everybody thought we were with race and all the conversations. But America has had her reckoning. It continues to happen because unless we can say, ‘This is what the country was like. This is what we don’t want to be any more,’ we have to teach the little ones to respect people because you’ll be around people, you’ll see people, you’ll hear people say things that won’t make sense to you. This is what happens in the country because we’re not past that.”
