Whoopi Goldberg's Iran Comparison Sparks Outrage: What Are Black Americans Saying?

SHOCKING TRUTH FROM HOLLYWOOD: WHOOPING GOLDENGARBLE'S RANT ON BLACK AMERICANS AND IRAN SPARKS OUTRAGE!

The usually tranquil world of The View was rocked to its core when none other than Oscar-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg unleashed a bombshell on national television, claiming that living as a black person in the United States is just as bad as living in Iran. Yes, you read that right - IRAN!

In an astonishing display of ignorance and insensitivity, Goldberg sparked a firestorm by interrupting her co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin's praise for American freedoms. "The U.S. in 2025 is not as bad as Iran in 2025," Griffin said, prompting Goldberg to jump in with: "Not if you're Black."

BLACK AMERICANS SLAM WHOOPING

This jaw-dropping statement sent shockwaves throughout the black community, with many taking to social media to express their outrage and disbelief. TikTok creators Key (@nahzfontee) and Bigswol (@bigswol) led the charge, calling out Goldberg for her privileged perspective.

"Whoopi's a multi-millionaire black woman on national television saying this? That alone proves the difference between America and Iran," Key said in his video. "You have the freedom to say that. In Iran, women can't even show their hair."

Meanwhile, Bigswol accused Goldberg of spreading false victimhood while enjoying privileges most people can't dream of. "Can someone tell Whoopi Goldberg she's rich and black? What the f**k you mean life in America is just as bad as Iran? Women in Iran can't even speak freely. You couldn't wear your favorite outfit over there."

THE CARTIER FAMILY'S BRUTAL TAKEDOWN

But the most blistering takedown came from The Cartier Family, a group of YouTubers whose reaction video went viral.

"She's up $60 million talking about her life being hard because she's black," host Brandon Rhone said. "I'm sick of the whole black people are oppressed s**t."

"It's more black people killing each other than the police is killing us," Soloman Brant chimed in. "But nobody wants to bring it up." The duo then took aim at Goldberg's privilege, saying: "You probably have security, you're Whoopi Goldberg!"

GOLDBERG'S RESPONSE? CRICKET SILENCE

So far, the usually outspoken actress has remained eerily silent on the growing backlash. But with clips still circulating and high-profile creators weighing in, the pressure to clarify - or double down - is mounting.

Many speculate that Goldberg's role in movies like The Color Purple, which examines black poverty, may have distorted her view of present-day America. "So do they believe America is still in like the 1940s, 30s?" co-host Tahj Whitfield asked. "We are so blessed right now in America, bro. I don't understand why people keep trying to push us back."

IRAN: A COUNTRY OF OPPRESSION

In stark contrast to Goldberg's claims, Iran is described as an "authoritarian theocratic republic" ruled by strict Shia Islamist laws. The country has been gripped by nationwide protests since 2022, resulting in the deaths of more than 500 people after lethal force was used to quell the backlash.

TRUMP'S MAGA LOYALISTS URGE ISOLATIONISM

As tensions with Iran escalate, many Trump's MAGA loyalists are urging him to stick to his isolationist platform. On Wednesday, Tucker Carlson released a bombshell interview where Senator Ted Cruz appeared to admit that the U.S. is already involved in strikes on Iranian targets.

"Israel is leading, but we're supporting them," Cruz said. "You're breaking news here - the U.S. government just denied, on Trump's behalf, that we're acting offensively for Israel."

G7 SUMMIT: TRUMP SHOOTS DOWN CARLSON'S CRITICISM

Earlier this week, both Carlson and former Trump strategist Steve Bannon warned on their podcasts that a strike on Iran would be disastrous. They blamed the intelligence "deep state" and war-hawk Republicans for swaying Trump toward military involvement - and warned it could mean "the end of his presidency."

Trump brushed off Carlson's criticism at the G7, saying: "I don't know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a TV network so people listen." He then fired back on social media: "Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON."
