Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie ODonnell traded fiery barbs on the set of The View during a discussion of what constituted racism that centered of President Obama and his wife and their recent descriptions of perceived discriminatory treatment.

Specifically, the spat started after the two talked about Mr. Obamas claim that he was once mistaken for a valet.

Ms. Goldberg said the presidents treatment was due to stupidity that some Americans dont even know what their own president looks like, the Daily Mail reported. But Ms. ODonnell said racism was likely at play and thats when Ms. Goldberg exploded.

You are a white lady telling me what is racist to you, she said, the Daily Mail reported.

And Ms. ODonnell returned fire, saying that she was also gay and had experienced discrimination and raising a black child.

I have a black kid at my house, Whoopi, she said, the Daily Mail reported. I have a black kid I raise!

That is not the same thing, Ms. Goldberg said.

Ms. ODonnells response: You dont have to be black to know what racism is.

Thats when Ms. Goldberg disagreed again.
