We are all God’s children. I learned that in Sunday School, when we sang, "red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight, Jesus loves the children of the world".   If you bleed red blood and breath oxygen, then we’re all the same. I never understood putting people in different catagories because of their skin color. My fathers side is Creek indian, and he always had a good tan. He worked hard to raise six kids and taught us to love and forgive those who let their ego guide them.

Again, I go back to my mother. She came to this country in 1947, speaking little to no English, became a US citizen which she was extremely proud, and raised 3 girls in the projects of New Haven, CT. She was loved by everyone, and race never came into play in our home. My mother experienced the class differences in her childhood growing up, and she was a truly rare human being. We had no money, cockroach infested home, were taught to respect everyone, and the true love of humanity was instilled my home.

 i just joined today after watching the view this morning. looking forward to more great things in the future.      jackie h.  houston,tx.

I have watched the View for approximately 6 mths now and that is because I happened to see the pictures of the team that sits on the View. I am very impressed with the "Issues" part of the show and with some of the guests. I mostly impressed with Whoopi. She manages to clear up doubts about what the issues are and offers good sense answers to the issues. Keep up the good work Whoopi. I have been a fan of yours for some time and now I am a supporter. Thanks for the View.

Dear Whoopi,

I have always found you to be a great source of inspiration.  Your talent, your success, everything about you is inspiring. As for "The View," you’re the only reason I like that show because you say all the things I’m thinking.

I was moved by your comments about voting only as recently as 1968.  In 1967 interracial couples couldn’t even get married.  How horrible a thought that that was once illegal. It boggles the mind. As a Lesbian I understand the struggle some Americans still face just to try and enjoy their Constitutionally guaranteed Rights, and the amazement at which I watch the changes happen slowly but surely.

Keep up the good work. You are a great gift to us all.

Whoopie Thank You for standing up for what You believe in and for inspiring me to go back to school and to just be a better human being.  You are a breath of fresh air in a world where most people follow along so as not to make waves.

I admire you for many reasons as you are multi-talented and ever so intelligent and funny.  However, I am disappointed that you defended Roman Polanski.  We just deported a sick Nazi after we found him hiding out under false identity here.  I consider that Polanski is a pedophile.  He did an unpardonable offense.  I am not convinced that he has not continued over the years his vile activities.  No rich or famous or talented person should be above the law.
