Whoopi Goldberg's 'The View' Suspension Over Holocaust Remark Leaves Internet Divided

Whoopi Goldberg's suspension from The View has sparked debate, after she said on the show that the Holocaust was not about race but rather "two groups of white people."

The actress and TV personality, 66, issued a statement apologizing for the comments she made during Monday's installment of the ABC daytime talk show, and reiterated her contrition when she returned to her moderator seat on Tuesday.

Late Tuesday, ABC News President Kim Godwin released a statement, in which she announced that Goldberg would not be on the show for the next two weeks, after being asked to "take time to reflect and learn" about her comments.

Godwin said: "Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her wrong and hurtful comments. While Whoopi has apologized, I've asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments.
