Got the band together for another episode of The Outcast Podcast this week. Tom Brady retires and the debate begins... Is Tom Brady the best and most accomplished athlete of all time? Brady, 44, announced that he would be retiring from the league via Instagram on Tuesday morning. That announcement came after he said on his podcast released Monday night that he was still going through the process of a retirement decision. We played a game of This or That on the show. Hopefully no one takes offense to this segment as the boys choose between Rihanna and Halle Berry or Shakira vs JLO. The show gets serious as we discuss Whoopi Goldberg's two week suspension from her talk show "The View". The Oscar-winning actress and comedian, who’s been with the show since 2007, sparked widespread backlash on Monday during a heated discussion on the recent banning of Maus, an award-winning Holocaust graphic novel by a Tennessee school board. Goldberg repeatedly insisted that the Holocaust was not “about race,” and refused to back down even after several co-hosts pointed out that the goal of Adolf Hitler’s “Final Solution” was “white supremacy.” “It’s about man’s inhumanity to man,” she declared, adding that the Holocaust merely involved “two white groups of people.” Goldberg’s remarks were immediately condemned by the Anti-Defamation League and other Jewish groups, with Greenblatt blasting the View moderator for her “dangerous” distortion of Holocaust history. “[T]he #Holocaust was about the Nazi’s systematic annihilation of the Jewish people—who they deemed to be an inferior race,” he said in a statement on Monday afternoon. “They dehumanized them and used this racist propaganda to justify slaughtering 6 million Jews.” We end the show talking about the recent bomb threats at HBCU institutions this week. At least 14 HBCUs reported bomb threats Tuesday, the first day of Black History Month. At least one of them, Howard University, also got a bomb threat Monday. "We've had these challenges before," Howard University President Wayne Frederick said Tuesday. But "since I've been here (as a student) in 1988, it has not been this widespread and also, I think, this overt." Please subscribe to The Outcast Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
