Well, I hate to admit it. But I’m old enough to remember when Black people in this society had to use separate bathrooms and drink from separate water fountains. I was just a kid but I found it confusing . Now as I said, I was just a kid and my exposure to that was when we traveled south for vacation. Right up through 1971. There were places in Virginia that wouldn’t serve food at the counter to black patrons. Again, I found that inexplicable. So when Whoopi Goldberg said that living in Iran now for women is like living as a black person in the United States these days, I thought I had to have hallucinated. She can’t really believe that. If she does, she has lost her grip on her mental facilities. Not saying everything‘s perfect now, but certainly I know many successful Black people. My best friend from college is an incredibly successful Speech pathologist, similarly I know gifted black nurses, attorneys and law enforcement officers. We have thankfully abandoned the separate bathrooms and water fountain nonsense and I just pray we keep moving forward with more positivity in how we all treat others. But if Whoopi thinks it is so awful here DESPITE her ability to appear on television and criticize her government as well as her success in the entertainment industry, she should follow the examples of Eva Longoria and Rosie O’Donnell and relocate to a more fair minded country. I would caution her that in Iran she would really have to watch her mouth with her opinions regarding the government even if their wasn’t a chance in hell she’d be allowed on TV there.
