Whoopi Goldberg had some strong feelings in response to the backlash that “Clueless” actress, Stacey Dash got for endorsing Mitt Romney.
After Dash endorsed Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, on Twitter, she was surprised at the number of negative responses she got. One person tweeted at her,
“You’re an unemployed black woman endorsing Mitt Romney. You’re voting against yourself thrice, you poor beautiful idiot.”
On Wednesday morning, on “The View”, Goldberg defended Dash and said the actress had the right to her own opinion, calling the attacks on Dash “vicious” and “horrible.”
Clearly bothered by news that Dash was even being threatened, Goldberg said,
”She’s entitled — and she’s a nice girl… this isn’t someone who went out and killed somebody. What the h**l you people sending her c**p like this for?!”
Barbara Walters tried to explain the rationale behind the attacks, calling them racially motivated. Said Walters,
”The reason she is being attacked is because she is black and the feeling is black people should not be voting for Romney.”
After some talking, back and forth, Goldberg said,
“She is being attacked because she has a different view from other people,” Goldberg argued. “And I think you don’t like somebody’s views, that’s okay, but to hand somebody death threats because — it’s the same thing with Bristol Palin — what the h**l! What’s wrong with us that this is what we do?!”
Goldberg went on to share a story about her own experience with negative backlash when she briefly considered supporting Romney.
“I got my behind handed to me when Mr. Romney was here… when I thought he was more the guy I thought was interesting. You would’ve thought I pooped on the front lawn of the White House.”
Goldberg has since changed her mind about Romney. After hearing what Romney had to say about her and “The View”, Goldberg took to Twitter to make it clear that she would not support him.

Some one said Whoopi never had to struggle. Yes, she did. It is her talent that brought her to where she is. As for Stacey Dash, the unemployed actress is now being noticed, which is what she wanted. The Republicans might get her a part in a movie just for getting a few more votes for the racist Mormon. (Oh, that’s a redundancy.)

some people believe that we vote for Pres. Oboma because he is black, There are many who will vote for Mitt because he is white. But that is not why we should vote for Pres. Oboma, Mitt has shown you that he can not be trusted. He must feel that he will not winning because of trying to stop the voters, Saying that you (all people) are lazy. At least 47% of you are. Stopping every program that Pres. Oboma tried to bring out for the people, Wanting to cut medicare for the aging. Abortion is importan to many woman. It is a crime to bring a child here and mistreat it or not love it. He wants to change this country forever while he take our jobs and money over seas. In short he wants to enslave America, And Mr. Ryan will help. Slavery has no color. Wake up America. We fought for the freedom of America, don’t back up now.

What’s the difference between Republicans, who make crude, cruel, racist, and threatening remarks about President Obama, and Barack’s Brownshirts who make similar remarks towards Cornel West, Tavis Smiley, Boyce Watkins, Lupe Fiasco, Bishop EW Jackson, Stacey Dash and anyone else who challenges or opposes President Obama?
There is no difference. All of them operate with a fascist mentality.
I’m surprised that they have not criticized Denzel Washington for saying that politically, he is an independent: “In some ways I’m liberal, and other ways I’m conservative. We get so locked in on you have to be this or that. It’s ridiculous. I’m not a liberal or a conservative completely. Who is? Or why do you have to be? You assess the pros, the cons, of both sides and you make an intelligent decision.”

For those of you dissing President Obama, here are just a few of his accomplishments which will aid African-Americans.
• Lowered taxes for 20 million African Americans through the payroll tax cut, putting $800 back in the pocket of the typical African-American working family.
• Invested $3.4 billion in African American-owned businesses.
• Passed the Affordable Care Act, ending insurance company abuses and expanding access to preventive care, which will reduce health disparities for 41 million African Americans.
• Supported the early learning programs Head Start and Early Head Start, to reach an additional 64,000 children and their families.
• Doubled funding for Pell Grants, increasing the number of recipients and putting a college education within reach for an additional 200,000 African-American students over the next decade.
• Invested $2.55 billion in Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and other minority-serving institutions

BOTH OF THEM HAD ALL THEIR CHILDREN WITH WHITEMEN,COULD THIS HAVE BEEN THE MOTIVATEING FACTOR FOR WHOOPI WANTING TO VOTE FOR
MITT EVEN AFTER HE DISSED HER, STACEY I DONT LIKE
BLACKMEN ANYWAY.YOU SEE YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS LOOK AT THE UNDER
LYING FACTOR, WHY THIS BLOGGER GOT SO ANGRY AND MADE A DEATH THREAT,AND I AM NOT SAYEING IT WAS RIGHT FOR HIM TO SAY IT,I AM
JUST SAYEING THAT I CAN SEE THE RACISM IN STACEY AND WHOOPI FOR THEIR REASONS FOR VOTEING FOR MITT,AND THE REASON WHY I FELT THAT
WHOOPI IS RACIST IS BECAUSE WHEN IT WAS ALL OVER T.V. THAT NIKKI MANAJ

ALL HER CHILDREN BY A WHITEMAN ALSO LIKE WHOOPI HERSELF SHE GO ON THE DEFENSE.IN MY OPINION, THE UNDERLYING REASONS MAKE WHOOPI AND STACEY NO DIFFERENT THAN THE BLOGGER THAT WAS MAKEING DEATH
THREATS BECAUSE RACISM IS A CRIME AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ONE WITHOUT ENOUGH OF LAWS TO PROTECT AFRICAN AMERICANS.

We the “assimilated” African American community, have been contaminated thoroughly by our “white benefactors” and we, as a “race”, have no culture, or traditions, or languages, or any crucial and stabilizing social factors of our own.
We have been thoroughly inundated and saturated with the cultural insanities of our “captors”. So how could we, as such a fractured community, make any kinds of proper and sane conclusions, decisions, or draw sane opinions about ‘this’ social structure? A social construct which we have been “nurtured” into, which is not of our own creation and was never created or meant to include us?
Not only does a political opinion or decision like that of a ‘Stacey Dash’ show signs of subdued insane notions, but we are all so invariably “brainwashed” that any opinions or decisions we derive which blends with this ‘rancid’ type of society will also show subdued versions of our own insanity!
In this US “American Dream” Caucasian-created social structure, we are kept out on the fringes while still participating as if we are actually accepted and treated as equal and fair citizens, while, clearly, we are fighting for our very lives and failing horribly!
A few of us will benefit regardless of who are what is in charge of this society, but given the ‘nature of the beast’ many of us are slated to suffer and falter in this Anglo-Saxon dominant platform!

I can’t believe that this much attention is being given to such a trivial issue. Stacey Dash tweeted her endorsement of Romney as a means of drawing some attention to herself and her failing career; that’s okay because this type of thing happens a lot in Hollywood. The Romney campaign has given it legs and seized it as an opportunity to get some Black and women votes for its failing weak campaign. The truth is that it won’t help the Romney campaign in the election and it’s going to ruin what little career Stacey has left.

I am a non American and black which make me an enemy to America as far as Rommey is concerned. I am a black man from the UK.
Did you hear his speech on foreign policy? Stacey is an idiot for supporting him and Whoopie I love her but it shouldn’t take for Rommey to bad mouth her before she decides he doesn’t get her vote.
Some feeling run high in these matters because some policy’s mean the death of loved one and the poor will die under Rommey, hence the death threats.
I don’t agree that Stacey having an opinion should lead to death threats, however, we are discussing politics and when black folk back the wrong horse then this is what you would expect.
I will continue to say, the worst kind of slave are those who put on their own chains.

Much ado about nothing. Stacy has the right to vote for anyone she wants. But, that does not mean she is not misinformed like so many other supporting Romney. Issue are what matters and Romney and Ryan are on the wrong side of what is best for America…and Black American and the poor in particular.

Stop hating that is why we as a people can not get ahead both are exercising their indenpendence and they are not hurting anyone. Black folks take that energy to address our real issues and stop getting caught up on the BS. What time is it? NATION TIME!!! Let’s get working and stop thinking that politics is our answer. This is not working for us let think outside the box

Everyone should have the ability to vote for the person they feel will do them justice in their situation. For the average person and the poor that would Obama. Apparently this person is maybe concerned about her income taxes, I don’t know, or abortion, etc., but I would say to her, look at the overall picture not just 1 or 2 things. Personally I prefer someone that has come up on the rough side of the mountain and made it; rather than someone who has had a silver spoon in their mouth their whole life. There is no way this person can understand those of us still climbing.

My take on all of it is who cares that Ms. Dash is voting for Romney. Why did she feel it was a need to broadcast that she was voting for Romney? Because she wanted her 15 min of fame that’s why. Everything reported on her for the last 12 mos have been negative. She has been fired from several shows because of her negative and catty attitude. Now she’s important because she claims she’s voting for Mit the Twit. People stop allowing yourself to be played. If you stop talking about it she will take her clueless non-acting behind and crawl back in the hole that she came from.

It seems as if everyone wants to throw stones. Regardless if you vote for Obama or Romney people have the right to choose to do what they like. It is all about choice! I am a Obama supporter, but at times I ask myself what has his policy’s really changed thus far. It is more than the color of the brothers skin that matters. I feel if he wants to get back in office he needs to speak the language not of hope, but of change. The realty is we have to decide which one is the lesser evil, take race out of the equation, and hold our “leaders” accountable.

I said it once and I’ll say it again, “These well-to-do Blacks live in a bubble”. They either don’t know or don’t remember what it’s like to struggle. There’s also the possibility that they haven’t been paying close enough attention to what Romney has been saying. Whoopie changed her mind based on what Romney said about the women on “The View”? Based on that? think about it. Not based on the fact that he wants to repeal ObamaCare. Not based on the fact that he said that he wants to defund Planned Parenthood. Not based on the fact that he asked a known Birther to support him. Not based on the fact that the CDC has stated that his economic plan does not make sense financially. Not based on the fact that he has flipped fllopped numerous times and is proposing the same Bush programs that led to the financial mess that was handed over to Obama. NO! It’s based on what he said about the women on “The View”. People like Whoopie and Stacy can afford to vote Republican. Most Americans can’t. There’s more at stake for them. These women do not hate themselves or their people. They’ve just lived in a millionaire’s bubble for so long, they’re like Romney – OUT OF TOUCH!

Most Americans don’t go around posting pics of themselves in a bathing suit to endorse a candidate. We go to polls select our candidate and go back to work. This is about Stacey not America. Stacey sorely needs to revive her career. She is known for two movies fifteen years ago, so this is a good way to get people talking about her. If she is lucky clint eastwood might hire her as an extra or as his seeing eye dog. But, I highly doubt that will even happen. She simply isnt important enough for the GOP to care. If Will and Jada or Brad and Ang supported Mitt it would be a different story. To quote JOy Behar, “so what: who cares”.

To Whoppie Goldberg: I am disappointed in you. I supported you when you were fired for your remarks from that diet company. But you sicken me when I heard you “thought” of supporting Willard. With all that we know about this leech of a human, you even “thought” of supporting him makes me know you are out of touch. Supporting Willard is supporting someone who doesn’t have you or your people’s best interest at heart. I will not ever support you or anything your ever involved in EVER. You sicken me.

“Goldberg has since changed her mind about Romney. After hearing what Romney had to say about her and “The View”, Goldberg took to Twitter to make it clear that she would not support him.”
————————————————
She sounds like a slave addressing this racist cracker as MISTER!!! The cracker’s name is ‘willard romney’, and since, he has s*****d on her, now she’s changing her mind!!!
This just proves my point about negroids like Poopi Goldturd. She’s messed up, too! Anytime a negroid will date a white boy, who was on national tell-a-LIE-vision in ‘black face’, I have no respect for them!!!
She’s ‘clueless’ just like that crazy negroid girl, Stacey, who has been engaged SIX TIMES to white boy’s, and married a total of THREE TIMES to caucasoid males.
Let’s not forget when Poopi Goldturd defended her cracker boyfriend, who was in Black face!!!
BOTH OF THESE NEGROIDS ARE SICK!!!
