A screaming match over racism erupted between Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O'Donnell on Thursday's episode of The View.

The show's co-hosts were discussing the news that Barack Obama was mistaken for a valet.

Goldberg dismissed the confusion as one of stupidity, with Americans failing to identify the most important man in the country and the world.

But when O'Donnell suggested racism may have been a key factor in the incident, Goldberg became enraged.

Quote:

'You are a white lady telling me what is racist to you,' she shouted.

O'Donnell hit back in the segment: 'I'm a gay American whose been called an [expletive].

'I have a black kid at my house, Whoopi. I have a black kid I raise!'

Goldberg exclaimed: 'That is not the same thing.'

O'Donnell: 'You don't have to be black to know what racism is.'

Goldberg: 'Yes you do.

'America is not just a racist country, because there are white people who get it.

'That is why I will not accept the blanket statement that American is racist.'

Do you think Whoopi is right and Rosie over reacted?

They are referring to this:

Quote:

In a 30-minute conversation, the president and Mrs. Obama candidly added their stories to the national discussion of race and racial profiling that was sparked by the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York.

"There's no black male my age, who's a professional, who hasn't come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didn't hand them their car keys," said the president, adding that, yes, it had happened to him.

Mrs. Obama recalled another incident: "He was wearing a tuxedo at a black-tie dinner, and somebody asked him to get coffee."

Things have gotten better, both Obamas agreed, but there's still more progress to be made.

"The small irritations or indignities that we experience are nothing compared to what a previous generation experienced," President Obama said. "It's one thing for me to be mistaken for a waiter at a gala. It's another thing for my son to be mistaken for a robber and to be handcuffed, or worse, if he happens to be walking down the street and is dressed the way teenagers dress."

Those hens at The View are so extra. I can't believe anyone could watch them for more than 3 minutes.

And trailer-trash whites like you always staying oblivious to racial issues

And if you bother to watch the damn video, you'd know Rosie brought it up.

PS: Your avi is so damn ugly, probably just like you yourself. Also fitting that your username has "Trashy" in it.

Idk, Rosie's point didn't make much sense. If as an American you genuinely don't know who Obama is - that's plain stupidity, not racism.

Whoopie overreacted, though.

Did you even look at the video? It's in the ****ing OP for heaven's sake, even if you didn't want to search for it, all you had to do was click a damn "play" button to find out that it was in fact a WHITE girl who brought it up

omg

Scandal & Media

Well I don't think Rosie was wrong in saying racism could have been why people mistook him for valet. And Whoopi saying you have to be black to know what racism was kind of...

Hopefully she just worded it wrong.
