Iranian dissidents are expressed on “offensive” affirmation of Whoopi Goldberg that life for black Americans is equivalent to living under the brutal autocracy of Iran.
“The comparison of Whoopi Goldberg between being black in America and living under the authoritarian regime of Iran is deeply wrong and rejects the brutal realities encountered by millions of Iranians,” said Dr. Sheila Nazarian Digital Fox News.
Goldberg triggered the backlash During a stormy argument With his colleague “The View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin on Wednesday. Griffin has developed the many human rights violations perpetrated by the Ayatollah regime in Iran, in particular the executions of homosexuals and the imprisonment of women who go out with their hair discovered.
“Let’s not do that, because if we start with that, we were known in this country to link homosexuals to the car. Listen, I’m sorry, they used to continue to suspend blacks,” insisted Goldberg while Griffin pushed back and said that the situations were not comparable.

“In 2025, in the United States, in no way resembles what I am walking on this outfit in Iran at the moment,” said Griffin.
“It’s the same thing,” said Goldberg.
When Griffin tried to explain that life in modern America was nocturnal and day with the theocratic regime in Iran, Goldberg A Cont, “Not if you are black.”
Nazarian, a renowned plastic surgeon whose family fled Iran in 1985 when she was six years old after her father was put on a government list to be killed, Fox News Digital told Goldberg’s comparison was not only inaccurate but deeply offensive.
“While racism is a serious and continuous challenge in the United States, comparing this to life under totalitarian theocracy like Iran is not only inaccurate – it is offensive for those who suffer daily under this regime. In Iran, the government controls almost all aspects of life..
The theocratic regime of Iran is deeply unpopular with its audience, and generalized anti-government manifestations frequently burst in the Islamic Republic. The country was seized by generalized disorders after the Iranian morality police have been accused of Murdering Mahsa AminiA Kurdish woman, not having worn hijab in public.

“It’s Astonishing that whoopi Goldberg Would Even Suggest that life for black Americans is somehow Equivalent to living under the rule of the ayatollah in Iran. The very fact that she, as a woman – and a woman of color – has a platform when she can speak freely Dissenting views, and appear uncovered on national television is proof of the immense freedoms shen enjoys, “Iranian-American journalist Lisa Daftari Told Fox News Digital
This is not the first time that Goldberg has faced the controversy for the comments it has made. In 2022, Goldberg was suspended from “The View” after remarks on Holocaust that many have found the offensive.

Goldberg said that the Holocaust was not “of race” saying rather than the genocide of six million Jews from 1933 to 1945 was the result of “the inhumanity of man to another man”. The co-tralk of the day quickly apologized for her comments, saying that she is “evil”.
Fox News Digital contacted “The View” to comment.
