In reply to the discussion: Whoopi Goldberg Advises AOC To 'Sit Still,' 'Learn The Job' Before 'Pooping On People' [View all]ehrnst
(32,640 posts)Apparently her "talk" is enough action to get you enraged.
So, she's lazy because she "sits" while doing her job.
I understand that a certain Senator is a hero because he has "talked for years" about certain issues without having achieved as much legislatively on those issues as Democratic leaders have.
Is it that Whoopi gets more airtime to talk than AOC that gets under your skin? How is that others are "putting their whole person in" when they talk on TV, but Whoopi is "lazy" and doesn't "do."
I think Whoopi's long record of "doing" shows someone who has put "their whole person in" for decades longer than others you seem to think do. I think the one who's out of line here is the one saying that a very accomplished activist and artist, and incidentally, a black woman, is "lazy."
