00:00I want to write this article about Whoopi Goldberg equating the United States to being
00:04just as bad as Iran is. While she was on The View, she was trying to inject her point that
00:10Iran is just as bad as America is for Black Americans, as if her life is not an example
00:18of the opposite. And as someone who isn't a multi-millionaire like Whoopi Goldberg,
00:24who believes that all Black people are in constant danger, and that being Black is
00:29synonymous with poverty and strife and oppression, she is the example of the opposite. And she's been
00:36just as wealthy as long as I've been alive. So what gives? What gives for her to feel this sense
00:43of America, while at the same time she'll acknowledge it's the greatest country in the
00:47world? But how come America is terrible for us, but not for her? And what did she do that was
00:52different? And why does she sound so unappreciative? And I know many of people who are not in her
00:58economic class, who are not at her status, who love this country, despite not having an abundance
01:04like she has. And so for me as a regular person who has been through all different types of
01:11situations in my life, been homeless multiple times as an adult and as a child, I've been someone
01:16who has struggled, who has overcome obstacles, and is not wealthy to this day. But I'm happy
01:22to watch someone who has overcome and succeeded so much within this nation to sound so utterly
01:30ungrateful is so nauseating to witness. And so I wanted to take this opportunity to express how
01:37normal people watch The View, watch a bunch of millionaires complain about systems and how this
01:44country is so horrible on a consistent basis. Not from a sense that, you know, we all complain about
01:50certain things. Everyone complains about things can be better, right? This is not a perfect country.
01:56But for someone to have to reach back to 1965 to state that America is just as bad, or that America
02:04hasn't gotten any better, to me, does this country's disservice. It sounds incredibly ungrateful,
02:10especially for people who are sitting at such a high position with such notoriety. And the last thing
02:16I'll say is, you know, it's ironic for her to complain about oppression in the United States
02:22as a Black woman. Meanwhile, in Iran, as a woman in general, she would not be allowed to criticize
02:28the leader of the country, the state. She would not be able to do that and get paid for it and live
02:34to go home to her gated community as she is able to do in the United States. So either we're the
02:40greatest nation in the world, or we're not. Either we're the greatest nation in the world for Black
02:45people and everybody, or we're not. And so if you want to make that equation between the two,
02:52it clearly tells me that all you're doing is providing lip service to uphold a narrative
02:57of Black people oppressed so that white leftists like Joy Behar can Blacksplain and clap for you to
03:05say, yes, yes, you are so oppressed, you're so oppressed, while telling them what time your limo's
03:09coming to pick you up and bring you home to your gated community. Something about this seems
03:13incredibly off. And it's the type of virtue signaling that comes from upper class elitists
03:18like Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, and the others on the panel of The View.
