Joy Behar sees racism in “Black Friday.” Can “White Christmas” be far behind?

November 30, 2009, 12:30 am · 14 comments

We’re not sure what’s worse about this video clip. Was it Joy Behar questioning the hidden racist meaning in the term “Black Friday” or Whoppi Goldberg revealing that she was “going commando”?

Here. Read the dialogue while we recover from that thought.

Goldberg: Oh, hello and welcome to ‘The View.’ Today is Black Friday, all day long. And I’m going to stay black all day because of it. 

Behar: Isn’t it a little racist to call it Black Friday? 

Goldberg: Well, I would have called it African American Friday, but that’s taking something away from it.

Behar: But there’s a negative connotation to it? Or does it mean something else?

Goldberg: No, it’s like when you make all the money – you’re in the black. 

Behar: So it’s positive? 

Goldberg: Yeah. It’s in the black, so it’s a huge great thing. 

Behar: A lot of times, like blackmail is negative, black sheep.

Goldberg: Black people. 

Behar: No, not black people. 

Goldberg: But it used to be, it used to be.

Believe it or not, that was the intellectual part of the conversation. It degenerated from there. Rapidly.

But – the average soccer mom watches this crap and follows their opinions like it was gospel.
Behar is nothing but a self hating white woman.

OB BTW Woopie its “black”; not “black black” just black.

She is so dumb that dumb people would even be embarrassed to admit she was also dumb.

I think ihatethemedia needs a t-shirt that says “It doesn’t matter what I say, I’ll be called a racist anyways.”

To a hammer, everything looks like a nail. People like Behar are united in the “Victims Forever” cause.

Well……at least on ‘The View’ you don’t have to endure writings on a chalk board, toys as props and the ignorant rantings of a lunatic waiting for a red phone’ to ring……like watching Mr. Rogers on acid.

Soupy Sales also comes to mind…….

Joy Behar treats guests the way Tiger Woods treats fire hydrants.

she treats conservative or libertarian guests like crap but people she loves you cannot get her to stop her drooling then if she goes someplace else and she is given a taste of her medicine she cannot handle it.

I am reminded of the bar scene in the movie “48 Hours” with Eddie Murphy. He is questioning patrons in a redneck bar, & he come across a guy who has about $1,000 in cash on him.

Murphy asks the guy “What’s this?”
The patron says, “Tax refund…”
Murphy responds, “Bull$h!t, your too stupid to have a job”.

That is what I think of when I see this henfest of talentless hacks, they really are too stupid to have a job. The fact that they are on TV with a daily platform to say something more stupid everyday, is a sad commentary about American TV.

Joy Behar is so beyond irrelevance that mere irrelevance appears relevant, relatively speaking.

I want “The View” to fade to black, & STAY THERE. It’s a mindless waste of time.

Yeah, well these are both coastal people who are cluless about the real world. And Joy Behar is an idiot at best. Can you believe someone is payig for TV time for her to have her own SHOW??? No wonder the economy sucks. What a waste of advertising money. Of course, Whoopi is a fight looking for somewhere to happen. If she lived my life, she wouldn’t need to invent drama, she’d have plenty already, just trying to earn a living!
