Ja’han Jones, who blogs for MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” is back with another hot take. Actually, the blog post isn’t that bad … it’s the headline that inspires eye rolls: “Whoopi Goldberg’s Holocaust ignorance said more about America than her.”

Apparently, Jones thinks that Goldberg’s comments were wrong but “they also reveal the complexity of race in America and the trouble we can encounter in ascribing our nation’s rigid view of race to conflicts in other countries.” It’s also possible that someone else read the post and wrote the headline.
So how does that say more about America?

No, hon, most Americans know that the Holocaust was not white-on-white violence.

So now everyone else is to blame for her comments?

Since most of America recognized her as an idiot, it shows that most of Americans are not morons.

Wait, millionaire actress who has incorrect knowledge of the holocaust and shared it with the world, is somehow America's fault? Is it America's fault you are an idiot, too?

No. She said something that was pretty strange and she is responsible, as an intelligent, independently wealthy successful human being to take full responsibility. Period.

Lol, It wasn’t really Whoopi’s fault, it was all of our fault. These clowns are comedy gold.

The ‘her dumbassery is an indictment of the system’ argument. Bold.

I'm shocked incredibly shocked that you didn't come up with some ridiculous convoluted reason to blame Trump 😂

Yes, I'm certain tweets like this will lead to greater trust in the media.
Please – keep going.

Rarely do I read a headline and actually laugh out loud at how stupid it is. This was one of those moments.

Honestly, we read the whole piece and have no idea how it said more about America than her. Maybe it’s just reflexive on the part of MSNBC to assume America is ignorant and racist.
