Tensions rose on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; after regular host Whoopi Goldberg claimed during Monday&#8217;s broadcast that the Holocaust was &#8220;not about race.&#8221;
Goldberg and her co-hosts — Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Ana Navarro — were discussing <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/31/media/maus-best-seller-banned-book-cec/index.html">reports</a> that a Tennessee school had pulled the graphic novel &#8220;Maus&#8221;  over concerns about language and nudity, and the conversation turned to the subject of &#8220;Maus&#8221;: the Holocaust.
&#8220;A Tennessee school pulled the graphic novel &#8216;Maus&#8217; out of their lessons on the Holocaust because it contained some nudity and some bad language,&#8221; Goldberg began. &#8220;Personally, I’m shocked because, you know, given the story of &#8216;Maus,&#8217; I’m surprised that’s what made you uncomfortable, the fact that there was some nudity. I mean, it’s about the Holocaust. The killing of 6 million people, but that didn’t bother you? But the naked —&#8221;
&#8220;I am not sure they don’t use the naked part as kind of a canard to throw you off from the fact that they don&#8217;t like history that makes white people look bad,&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/joy-behar-its-time-to-tweak-1st-and-2nd-amendments-because-founding-fathers-didnt-have-ar-15s-and-twitter/">Joy Behar</a> added.
&#8220;Maybe. This is white people doing it to white people. Y’all go fight amongst yourselves,&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/how-dare-you-be-so-flippant-whoopi-goldberg-unloads-on-bill-maher-for-being-over-covid-19-paranoia/">Goldberg</a> continued.
&#8220;This was the plan with these anti-history laws that started being passed,&#8221; Sunny Hostin argued that banning books like &#8220;Maus&#8221; and &#8220;To Kill a Mockingbird&#8221; was the natural next step after <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/cnn-guest-fox-news-invented-scary-stories-about-a-senile-president-and-crt-brainwashing-kids/">attempts to ban</a> Critical Race Theory. &#8220;I’ve always said if my children are subjected to racism at a very early age, which they are, then your child should be okay with having a little bit of discomfort and learning about the racism that exists.&#8221;

&#8220;Well, the considered Jews a different race,&#8221; Joy Behar says.
&#8220;But it&#8217;s about white supremacy. It&#8217;s about going after Jews and Gypsies,&#8221; Ana Navarro adds. <a href="https://t.co/GZwZSi2qXi">pic.twitter.com/GZwZSi2qXi</a>

&#8220;If we’re going to do this, let’s be truthful about it because the Holocaust isn’t about race. No. It’s not about race,&#8221; Goldberg said.
“They considered Jews a different race,” Joy Behar pushed back.
&#8220;It’s not about race. It’s not about race,&#8221; Goldberg insisted.
&#8220;What is it about?&#8221; Behar asked.
&#8220;It’s about man’s inhumanity to man. That’s what it’s about,&#8221; Goldberg replied.
&#8220;But it’s about white supremacy,&#8221; Navarro objected. &#8220;It&#8217;s about going after Jews and gypsies —&#8221;
&#8220;But it’s not about —&#8221; Goldberg interrupted. &#8220;These are two white groups of people. How do we —&#8221;
&#8220;They came after black people too,&#8221; Behar pointed out, noting that the Nazis had not considered Jews to be &#8220;white&#8221; either.
&#8220;But you’re missing the point. You’re missing the point. The minute you turn it into race, it goes down this alley,&#8221; Goldberg was insistent. &#8220;Let’s talk about it for what it is. It’s how people treat each other. It’s a problem. It doesn’t matter if you are black or white because black, white, Jews, Italians, everybody eats each other. So is it — if you are uncomfortable if you hear about &#8216;Maus,&#8217; should you be worried — should your child say, &#8216;Oh my God, I wonder if that’s me? No. That’s not what they’re going to say. They’re going to say, &#8216;I don’t want to be like that.'&#8221;
&#8220;Well, hopefully,&#8221; Behar agreed.
&#8220;We’re living in an era where people are comparing vaccine cards to the yellow stars, the cards, where people are comparing vaccinations to what Anne Frank went through,&#8221; Navarro noted. &#8220;It’s necessary for kids to learn about the Holocaust.&#8221;
&#8220;Learning about man’s inhumanity to man however it exposes itself. I have to cut you off,&#8221; Goldberg wrapped the segment.
