Look — I’ve been seeing bits and pieces of Whoopi Goldberg’s foolishness over the past few weeks, but I honestly just brushed it off. Laziness? Maybe. Disinterest? Probably.
But then — Officer Brandon Tatum dropped his video about 12 days ago, and I finally sat down and watched it today. And just like that… the spark was lit.
Now it’s everywhere.
Headlines. Clips. Reactions.
Whoopi Goldberg’s mouth opened — and nonsense flew out like pigeons at a wedding.
I told myself, “Okay, now I have to say something.”
Because the words she said? The comparison she made?
It’s not just wrong — it’s insulting, it’s shameful, and it’s a slap in the face to truth, logic, and everyone living under actual oppression.
So buckle up. This isn’t going to be soft, sweet, or politically correct.
This is a reality check. One that’s long overdue.
🎬 The View That Went Off the Rails
On a recent episode of The View(18 June 2025), Whoopi Goldberg said that living in America as a Black person is basically the same as living in Iran. And I quote:
> “It’s the same… Not if you’re Black.”
Excuse me?
Let’s get something straight: Iran is a theocracy, not a democracy. It’s a dictatorship disguised as religion, and it's one of the most oppressive places on earth — especially for:
Women
LGBTQ+ people
Journalists
Christians and other non-Muslims
And literally anyone who thinks freely.
And yet... Whoopi Goldberg decided that was comparable to being Black in America.
What planet is she living on?
📚 Let’s Talk Facts: What Is Life in Iran REALLY Like?
Here’s a quick crash course on Iran — since clearly, Whoopi skipped that chapter.
In Iran:
Women can be arrested or beaten for not wearing a hijab correctly.
LGBTQ+ people are executed — not jailed. Executed.
You can’t criticize the government — unless you enjoy jail, torture, or disappearing mysteriously.
There is no freedom of religion. You must follow the regime’s version of Islam, or else.
Protesting can get you killed. Literally.
Iran is not just “bad.” It’s brutal.
Now tell me again — how is this remotely like America?
💼 Whoopi’s Wealthy Amnesia
What makes this even more outrageous is that Whoopi Goldberg is a multi-millionaire Black woman who has:
Hosted award shows
Starred in legendary movies
Written books
Built a decades-long career on American TV
Said whatever she wants, whenever she wants — and still got paid
This is not someone living in chains.
This is someone living in a penthouse with a platform.
And yet, she sits on The View crying “victim” like she’s still in 1865.
Sorry, no.
You don’t get to be rich, free, powerful, and globally respected — then turn around and act like America hasn’t done anything for you.
You can critique the system — we all should — but to compare it to Iran? That’s not brave. That’s delusional.
🧠 The People She Erased
What about the Black excellence she erased with one ignorant sentence?
Let’s not forget:
Garrett Morgan (invented the traffic light)
Dr. Shirley Jackson (telecommunications research)
Mae Jemison (first Black woman astronaut)
Dr. Ben Carson, Condoleezza Rice, Oprah Winfrey, and so many more who proved that Black people in America are not only surviving — they’re leading.
But hey, in Whoopi's mind, they’re all just trapped in “Iran.”
That’s the kind of mental gymnastics that deserves a gold medal in foolishness.
😡 And The Worst Part? They Clapped.
She said it.
The woman next to her tried to correct her with facts.
And the crowd… clapped.
That was the scariest part.
It wasn’t just Whoopi — it was the delusion of everyone around her, the manufactured applause, the hive-mind agreement.
It was like watching a circle of privileged millionaires pat each other on the back for making no sense.
And the one woman who told the truth? They made her look crazy.
👏🏽 No Pause. Just Facts.
Let’s get this straight.
This blog isn’t a reflection.
It’s a roast.
It’s mockery.
It’s shame on full display.
Because this isn’t Whoopi’s first nonsense moment — and it definitely won’t be the last. Ever since she joined The View, it’s been rant after rant, blame after blame, empty complaint after empty complaint. No logic. No solutions. Just loud, clueless venting.
And somehow, she gets paid for this.
Millions.
Applause.
Respect.
It’s insanity — in a blazer.
I’m not even sorry for her family, because honestly, someone should’ve told her by now:
“You sound ridiculous.”
And it’s not just her — it’s the whole movement of wealthy, successful Black Americans who pretend to be victims for views and claps.
You’re not oppressed.
You’re performing.
We see through it.
And we’re tired.
