Whoopi Goldberg has called on the British Royal Family to apologise for slavery.
The 66-year-old star has blasted Britain’s historic ties to the slave trade and the empire, and she called on the monarchy to issue an apology amid widespread criticism over its past links.
Appearing on The View this week, she said: ‘Britain ran ram shod over India for years… Let us not forget, when we talk about what needs to happen, all the folks that need to apologise.
‘Listen, this is not new. I suspect Charles, when he was in Barbados, had some idea because he went on and apologised as he was releasing the hold that Britain has.
‘So perhaps somebody is listening, and it’s the new group of folks – I don’t know if it’s Charles, William, but one of them.’
Her comments come after Prince William described the slave trade as ‘abhorrent’ and expressed ‘profound sorrow’, but he did not directly apologise for the Royal Family’s role in it.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were met with protests when they arrived in Jamaica, which has ‘already started’ the process of removing the Queen as head of state.
Members of the country’s Rastafarian community accused the royals of benefiting from ‘blood, tears and sweat’ of Jamaican people.
During his speech at a dinner on the fifth day of the couple’s Caribbean tour, William addressed the forced transportation of millions of people from Africa to the Caribbean and North America – a trade British monarchs either supported or profited from during the 17th and 18th centuries.
He echoed past speeches by his father Prince Charles as he referred to the slave trade as an ‘appalling atrocity’ that ‘stains our history’.
However, the future king didn’t offer a direct apology, in a similar way Charles addressed the issue during a recent trip to Barbados.
William said: ‘I strongly agree with my father, the Prince of Wales, who said in Barbados last year that the appalling atrocity of slavery forever stains our history.
‘I want to express my profound sorrow. Slavery was abhorrent. And it should never have happened. While the pain runs deep, Jamaica continues to forge its future with determination, courage and fortitude.
‘The strength and shared sense of purpose of the Jamaican people, represented in your flag and motto, celebrate an invincible spirit.’
She needs to apologize for her continuing stupidity of .Look what I said,I need attention!
Not sure why present day people have to apologize for what happened many years ago. We are not responsible for what our ancestors did. We can condemn the process and acknowledge how horrific even the thought of slavery is, but all we can do is speak out against what they did. If she really feels the need for an apology, she needs to approach other nations who sold and imported slaves to America. Pretty sure Africa was at the top of the list. Time to move on and heal….but most importantly forgive.
Whoopi Goldberg is just one more person who thinks we all owe her and others who think they have been wronged a 100 years. She should apologize for pretending to be an entertainer and American. Every thing she says is offensive.
Whoopi was misnamed. She should simply be called Whoops.
Sorry woopie your a woke dope entitlement thug monkey, using your black entitlement card with the idiots in the United States who believe somehow your fake suffering will definitely work, but countries with common sense & don’t have a fully corrupt communist government, it ain’t going to happen, these people didn’t watch your crappy communist, leftist, feminist loudmouth, anti-American, anti white, racist show, those people still have some dignity left, they won’t apologize to a ugly two-faced anti-white anti-American racist thug monkey. And if they did,the world as we know it is over, then just be prepared to fight physically all demons like yourself who have taken over our country
I think Whoopi needs to apologize for every word that comes out of her mouth. Her comedy showed her lack of intelligence with the F word every other word. I stopped watching The View because of her, and her constant bring up race or some grieve she has.
She should have been fired for her remarks about the Holocaust that was very egregious.
The ones who needs to apologize is the Africans first. When a tribe conquered another tribe, they sold them to the British as slaves. Pretty soon even the ones who conquered other tribes got themselves sold as slaves. It started with the AFRICAN TRIBES, NOT THE BRITISH! Whoopi needs to brush up on her history BEFORE she opens her mouth. She’s said SO MUCH that she needs to apologize for herself!
Same old race garbage from this left wing ni**er. She is the one who needs to apologize though. She needs to apologize for putting her ugly monkey face on TV.
It seems to me that Joe Biden has a lot more control over what Hunter does than Prince William has over what his ancestor did. Kamala Harris’ family profited off of the slave trade in Jamaca. She had no control over that. She can’t even fix the things that she has been given the task of fixing.
Who is she to demand an apology????? I want an apology from her for wasting air time every day. Who cares for her? I do not!
The RF should apologize for ONE thing and ONE thing only, letting Harry marry a DINGBAT GOLDDIGGER…….
Whoopie poopie should apologize for staying in the USA – -she would be so much happier back home in Africa, SO LEAVE ALREADY!!!
The only apology should be from her to the world for her existence. If somehow, she wasn’t around it would be a better world. The hate that her and the others on that demented wash women talk show spews out is just showing how low IQ they all are and the hate they have for themselves.
