394. Perhaps you don't know Whoopi grew up in actual poverty, unlike others who have claimed to.

She grew up the object of racism and violence. Lived homeless as an addict. Coat hanger self-abortion at 14. Made it out, and made art out of it. That is what her voice is based on.

I'd say that's some unique knowledge. It also informed by her long, long history of actual progressive activism.

I guess she won those awards and honors for her "celebrity" because she really has no other voice than a poser like Sarandon? I guess she was invited to host the Oscars three times, and the Tonys once because she is just a "celebrity" has no 'voice' as a satirical contemporary comic writer and artist? When Susan Sarandon gets that honor, then you might have one thing to compare them on. Or an EGOT. Or a one woman broadway show with brilliant observations on class, addictions, being black and a child, and disability.

She broke new ground in politically based, honest, soul baring comedy:

I'd compare political neophytes, not Whoopi, to privileged Sarandon, for being mostly talk, and little action. Whoopi, on the other hand is a sharp satirist in the mold of Richard Pryor.

You're welcome for the education on Whoopi Goldberg.

The feeding frenzy and the dismissing and demeaning the intellect, talent and acheivements of a truly progressive, outspoken, middle aged woman of color because she dares to criticize the actions of a Sanders-endorsed politician isn't surprising to me anymore. Even on DU.
