Whoopi Goldberg says black Americans have it just as bad as people in Iran

  • A heated debate erupted on ABC's The View on Wednesday morning between Whoopi Goldberg and Alyssa Farah Griffin over human rights comparisons between the U.S. and Iran.
  • The disagreement stemmed from Goldberg's claim that black Americans face abuses comparable to those Iranians endure, while Griffin argued Iran's human rights violations are far worse.
  • Griffin cited Iran’s harsh enforcement of hijab laws, execution of gay people, and lack of free elections, contrasting them with America’s justice progress despite ongoing inequalities.
  • Goldberg countered, stating 'Not if you're black' and highlighted historic and present racial violence and voter suppression in the U.S., emphasizing daily safety fears among Black Americans.
  • The debate ended abruptly as Goldberg said Griffin would never 'understand' her point, and the show cut to commercial without resolving the contrasting views.
