'The View' host Whoopi Goldberg claims Holocaust wasn’t about race: ‘These are two White groups’

Section 2
Sexual relations outside marriage between Jews and nationals of German or kindred blood are forbidden.

You can throw that one down a sewer pipe. All the of the young women and girls, Jewish or not, under Nazi domination were raped. The Nazis had a building set up in every camp called 'the whorehouse' where women were taken to be forcibly raped. In fact the Nazis would divert entire battalions of soldier to the camps for what they called, in our terms, to blow off steam.

The women and girls the Nazis labeled 'inferior' were treated worse than any slaves. They were raped until the Nazis were tired of them or they became pregnant, then they were killed.

This was not only in the camps. In the cities and suburbs these females were kept as 'working slaves', housekeepers, field hands, factory slaves, and of course they were raped as a matter of routine.

Section 2 was never observed. It did not apply in real reality.

The Nazi Party was birthed out of the belief that German Jews had sabotaged the war effort in WWII causing Germany to lose the war, and subjecting the nation to the humiliation under the Versailles Treaty.  This became a core tenet of Nazi philosophy as they embraced the concept of Aryan racial purity as the prototypical German.  From the onset, racial lines were drawn.  Aryan included Germans, while non-Aryans included Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, Africans, etc.

From 1933 onward, the Nazis began identifying and separating these non-Aryans by taking away opportunities, depriving them of citizenship status, prohibiting who they could marry, and segregating them from Aryan Germans.  All of this was done under the pretense of race.  Or if you don't like the word race, then ethnicity (which means the same damn thing).

Take Gypsies for example.  They were of darker skin, and thus singled out by the Nazis as non-Aryan.  Yet in every sense of the (obsolete) word, Gypsies are Caucasians.  So what's the difference?  Religion?  Can't be that.  Gypsies are Christians.  Country of origin?  Nope.  German Gypsies were born in Germany.  As were their parents, grandparents, etc.  So why single out Gypsies?  Because they weren't part of the Aryan master race.

And then 1939 arrives.  The with the invasion of Poland, the Nazis gain control of a population rich in Jews.  Nothing tribal about it.  They were Poles, first and foremost.  But the Nazis chose to segregate that society, separating people along racial lines.  Ghettos were built to segregate the Jews.

In 1941 came the invasion of the Soviet Union.  At the same time, the "Final Solution" was drafted by Himmler, Eichmann, and Heydrich to address "the Jewish problem".  'Final' meaning death.  Special units called Einsatzgruppen were formed for one reason and one reason only.  To exterminate people based on race.  And death camps were constructed in Eastern Poland to rid Europe of the non-Aryan Jews.  Chelmno, Treblinka, Sobibor - these camps were build for one reason and one reason only, to wipe out a race of people.

This is clearly documented in every single thing that the Nazis ever said or published.  And yours or Whoopi Goldberg's opinion on race doesn't have a damn thing to do with the reasons why the Nazis did what they did.  Again, Nazis killed Jews because they considered them an inferior race and a detriment to their ideals for an Aryan Reich.  It really didn't matter if they looked white to Whoopi Goldberg.  To them, they obviously saw a racial distinction that separated them from their Aryan ideals, regardless of what religion they happened to practice.

When it comes to Hitler's reasons for doing what he did, yes.

But that doesn't mean Hitler was right simply because the cretin used race instead of ethnicity.  His ultimate goal was to create the master German "race".  Shall we agree with this, too?

Judaism has been a tribal ethnicity for centuries developed and promoted to preserve the religious, cultural and legal traditions of the Jewish people.

BTW, the Jewish tribe includes people from different races.

@Hoodat

Hutus and Tutsis were both part of the Rwandan Tribe.  Part of the African Tribe.  Trunk or a main branch of the Negroid Race.

Negroid Race?  Sounds like something Himmler would say.

Not once did I give even the slightest hint that Hitler was right.

Not simply create, but to refine in a world devoid of any non-Aryans.  New living space to the East, free of Jews.

Judaism has been a tribal ethnicity for centuries developed and promoted to preserve the religious, cultural and legal traditions of the Jewish people.

It goes back to the Bible.  Back to Isaac and Jacob.  Not that that has a thing to do with Nazi reasoning.

Prisoners were not the only ones subjected to forced sexuality. The Nazis set up camps with Aryan boys and young Nazi approved young German girls with the specific goal that they should get pregnant. Hitler and his advisors knew they would need a next generation wave of Aryans to dominate the world. Therefore they set up breeding colonies, where young Aryan women were expected to become impregnated by young Aryan boys. This would be, had they not failed, the next german Army.

The Nazis viewed even there own women and girls as nothing more than breeding stock.

She just admitted all Caucasions look the same to her.  That's a tad racist, in my book.
