Why Whoopi Goldberg’s message about Black culture and white supremacy is dangerous and misleading.
In this episode of Broken Traditions, I critically examine Whoopi Goldberg’s recent comments comparing being Black in America to living in Iran. I break down why that narrative is not just harmful — it’s a tool that may unknowingly serve white supremacy.
Through a side-by-side comparison with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s message of opportunity and gratitude, I challenge the emotional traps we often accept from celebrities we trust. It's time to redefine what white supremacy looks like — and who might be used to push it.
🧠 Let's talk: Are these messages keeping Black Americans feeling stuck on purpose?
🎯 Topics Covered:
Whoopi Goldberg’s controversial statement on The View
Why victimhood messaging hurts more than it helps
The hidden tools of white supremacy in media
The contrast with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s immigrant story
Breaking the cycle of emotional manipulation in Black culture
