Stuart G's JournalWhoopi Goldberg sparks outrage after saying on 'The View' that 'the Holocaust isn't about race'

Her comments came during a segment of the ABC talk show on Monday that focused in part on a Tennessee school district's decision to ban "Maus," a graphic novel that depicts the horrors of the Holocaust. Earlier this month, McMinn County, Tennessee, Board of Education removed the book from its eighth-grade English language arts curriculum, citing "rough, objectionable language" and a drawing of a nude woman.
During the roundtable discussion, Goldberg said she was surprised that the nudity in "Maus" -- and not the Holocaust itself -- is what appeared to concern the school board, while co-host Joy Behar replied that the nudity concerns were likely "a canard to throw you off from the fact that they don't like history that makes White people look bad."
