Say something nice about Whoopi... Hmmm... let's see... How's this? Whoopi makes me appreciate Robin Quivers just that much more! Ophelia!
It would be NICE if Whoopie Goldberg actually was Nice. But she ain't.Her actions,words and sneers are proof. One can't make up her attitude.She did that all by her lonesome with a liitle help form Gelt Hollywood. She was needed in Hollywood to portray the Angry Black comic. She was given extentuating poetic license to call anyone anything she felt,without a shred of penalty let alone conscience. In this she is unique.A bitter black woman who was a heroin addict { who even knows that } that got a gig in Hollywood and was used as the new Token black. Afforded roles and language way beyond her abilities. Was lucky.The public was in need of this kind of stereotype. Don't forget she played the Hollywood Valley Girl in her standup routine which obvioulsy impressed Gelt Producers. Therefore the name Goldberg.
I don't have psychic powers, I just think about what someone has said to make sure they were not misinterpreted, instead of immediately assuming the worst. What she meant was: Consensual sex between a teenager and an adult is not as bad as, or the same as, forced sex between a teenager and an adult. She simply wondered whether the confession Polanski made was true, whether he didnt lie for a lesser sentence.
There's NO Defense for Polanski.That's the point.It's a simple case of an adult in Society is supposed to act like an Adult.There is NO room for interpretation.Adults by law are no supposed to have sex with minors. That's the Law.Society's Law,God's Law and just common sense fer cryin out loud.Again ... what's yer problem.You seem at odds with rationality. Polanski as an adult is supposed to protect and watch over a minor not exploit and manipulate { give them wine and a Quaalude } so as to loosen them up for anal sex.Which is exactly what he did. Leave it to the Clown Goldberg to pop her Racist mouth off as if she's making a valid mouth all the while how dare anyone question the Great Whoopie. This is a societal problem.Hollywood created this Bigmouth Goldberg. Because it was seen as kinda cute.Take an uneducated former junkie with a cartoon face and a lot of inner rage and use it in a political fashion to addresses liberal issues in a nonconformist way. Goldberg is defening Polanski in her little way because that's her role. If Polanski was an American Director or supported Republican causes the Whoopie would be all over his case like ants at a picnic.I have no doubt at all about that.This is a case of the Whoopie defending a liberal colleague in the Hollywood entertainment field because that is who created her.The Liberal machine in Hollywood.
I am no great fan of Whoopie, and think she is slightly overrated. Something nice to say....Ummm' I liked her in Star Trek: The Next Generation especially in one of my favorite episodes ie Time's Arrow. Hows that? Rev A
Ahhhh, I see...... so that's your interpretation of WG's tho'ts and statement "But was it rape-rape?" never mind the hard cold fact that Polanski admitted in court that he had 1) Fed the teen drugs 2) Fed the teen alcohol, then 3) raped her and 4) sodomized her and you claim you know she simply wondered whether his confession was true........ I have a better question - why in God's name would a grown man lie and say he had done those despicable. depraved things to a 14 yr old teen if he hadn't? He admitted what he did, then fled the country like a scared cockroach to avoid prosecution and you and that unconscionable Whoopi knows it - but both you women have sided w/Polanski.... I remember in the other thread about Polanski, you even blamed the victim and her mother for what Polanski did to her...... yeah, let's not hold someone accountable for their own criminal behavior - just blame the victim and people who weren't even there at the crime scene. It makes life so much easier..... I hope Felix isn't to annoyed w/me for not saying something 'nice' about Whoopi......
If you had a choice of, say, 10 years in jail if you admitted to a crime you didn't commit, or life if you were found guilty by a jury, which would you choose? The mother is very much at fault. She had allowed her 13 year old to get drunk on previous occasions and to have sex with her older boyfriend. The kid even knew what drugs she was being given, and what effect they would have on her, yet she took them anyway. No mother would ever allow their child to go home alone with a man who was 20 years older.
Felix, Apparently, you are under the impression that you can jam a format down our throats that compels us to say nice things about a POS like Whoopi. The other alternative being not to "play the game." Well, I don't think anyone can impose his, or her desire to force someone to say nice things about a putrescent bag, or a dog's like whoopi. And, I reject your alternative because you do not have the right to tell anyone what to do ......
How is Whoopi a POS? This is not a game, it is a most valued exercise. Please stop with this incessant hyperbole. I have not attempted to force anybody to do anything. If you do not want to post on a thread do not post. You have the right to frequent threads and submit comments at your desire.
That was one of the worst roles ever played by anyone on all of the star trek shows besides perhaps Wesley Crusher. Didn't she play the bartender? Truly that role had to have been created for her. What are we gonna do with Whoopi? She can't be a regular crew member, she is too out of shape. You practically had to write a scene in the bar so that we can get Whoopi into the episode. And everytime I watched that show and she showed up on it I couldn't help but think what is a really bad stand up comic from the 20th Century doing in the 24th Century?
Holy cow..... you'll come up w/anything to protect a sexual predator. And there was a woman in his home at the time which would make a parent and the teen herself feel she was safe, but Polanski got the girl alone in his big house. And btw, wasn't Polanski 44 yrs old when he did this? The girl was no more than 14? Do the math........ I'm done here.... seriously, it really turns my stomach when I read excuse after excuse from another woman defending a sexual predator and how it's everyone else's fault that he raped, sodomized a teen girl after feeding her alcohol and drugs....... Oh well. To each their own.....
Oh. Ok. Well then, that's where you & I really differ - when she made the 'but was it rape-rape?' comment in defense of a sexual predator, I do equate her to a portion of feces...... Whoopi showed her true colors when she asked that despicable question....
What is there to question? Everyone knows the facts that he was 44 and the teen was 14 and he admitted in court to feeding the teenager alcohol, drugs then raped and sodomized her - then he fled the country and stayed gone for 30+ yrs. Isn't that enuf 'facts' for anyone?
