Drop the Goldberg name you co-opted, Whoopi — you don’t deserve it.
"Decades ago, when the performer Caryn Johnson decided her name wasn’t interesting enough and dubbed herself Whoopi Goldberg instead, it wasn’t because Goldberg signified “whiteness.”
Through the years, she’s offered many weird and contradictory explanations for her change in moniker...
Note, please, that Caryn Johnson didn’t become Whoopi Rockefeller. No. She knew that by becoming Whoopi Goldberg, she would be choosing to flaunt in every way possible the fact that she was a minority person in a majority-white country. The “Goldberg” was the cherry on top...
I think it’s especially fitting that her real name is just a version of “Karen.”--Posted by
