Avis,

Just to reiterate, I absolutely disagree with the way Whoopi has been treated. I know hundreds of Jews and haven't seen anyone endorse it. I don't believe she's an antisemite and I don't agree with the suspension.

I am here for the hard conversations and think they must be had. There should be space for people to express their view of the world, even if it's wrong or others disagree, without being punished.

And I can see and respect that you're angry. There's so much wrong with how we talk about race/ethnicity these days. We've become unforgiving and sanctimonious. I share your outrage about that.
