Whoopi Goldberg Is Wrong About Canada, Justin Bieber and the N-Word

Maybe Whoopi Goldberg should stick to parsing the nuances of the word “rape.”

The View-er is now under fire for shrugging off Justin Bieber’s use of the “n-word” in a recently surfaced old video.:

You know, Canadian words — I’m going to say the word so get ready to beat me. N—-r doesn’t mean anything in Canada.

Goldberg knows this because she “did a movie last year, in Canada.”

That’s know-nothing celebrity smugness on the level of (bad) satire.

She played a nun once, too; I look forward to Whoopi’s exegesis on Humane Vitae.

I’m a 50-year-old Canadian. I have never uttered the N-word. I don’t think my mouth can form the letters.

When I was a kid, once in a while some boy would call Niagara Falls “N***** Falls.” He’d be rewarded with groans. It was considered a “low class” thing to say even in my “low class” environs.

The word has always been a slur in Canada, and a particularly virulent one at that.

After all, that’s the context in which Bieber was using it. He wasn’t referring to one of his “posse” in cringe-worthy “wigger” fashion. He was joking about cutting black people up with a chainsaw.

That makes Goldberg’s defense that much more idiotic.

She’s right Canada doesn’t share America’s history of slavery, but only because God made the place too cold for cotton — something I thank God for every day, as I’m forced to listen to you guys whine and fret about race relations 24/7.

Don’t get me wrong: Canada has its own smaller-scale “original sins.”

For the most part, however, they have been exaggerated and exploited by professional victims who are jealous of the mileage American “civil rights” hustlers have gotten out of playing the race card.

(These professional victims are the same people who love to boast about how much better we are than Americans — even though Canadians are the ones who, for example, invented school shootings…)

Alas, Goldberg’s comments will be used to bolster the already-toxic anti-Americanism that is the connective tissue of the moral preen-ers on the Canadian left, some of whom are congratulating themselves on their own wonderfulness in the comments at the National Post.
