Whoopi stated that it was a “problem with the policing itself.” The 67-year-old said on the show:“Seems things don’t make sense to people unless it’s somebody they can feel or they can recognize. Do we need to see white people also get beaten before anybody will do anything? I’m not suggesting that, so don’t write us and tell me what a racist I am. I’m just asking is that what people have to see in order to wake up and realize this affected us all.”As the show progressed, she stated that it doesn't seem like it matters to people until someone of their own race gets beaten up.The Post Millennial@TPostMillennialWhoopi Goldberg: “Do we need to see white people also get beaten before anybody will do anything?

She noted on the show that there was a larger problem at hand rather than simply the race of the policemen. She stated:“What we saw, in this case, is that good cops come in any gender, any class, any color. And bad cops can be any gender, any color, and these cops were blue before they were black… That night they were out hunting for a victim, who just happened to be this young man, Tyre Nichols. How many more times are we going to have to see black youth beaten to death"Netizens react to Whoopi Goldberg’s statementDespite the co-host noting that she was not trying to be racist, several netizens felt like she was doing so and inciting violence as well.
