Whoopi Goldberg, as much a social critic as comedian, has defended Snyder. "Jimmy says...we bred big Black bucks to big Black women and made big Black fast kids. Now did he lie? What did he say that offended people? He told the fuckin' truth...and America and the NAACP and everybody else was pissed...and all the white folks said Jimmy shouldn't've said that...
