I lost all respect for her.....
Did you happen to watch the first day that Whoopie appeared on The View? She more or less condoned Michael Vick's actions regarding his dog fighting adventures. She implied that this is considered nothing out of the ordinary for "that area of the country". To me that was a slur to the folks in the south, saying that this is acceptable behavior and practice. And she didn't do her homework very well either before opening her mouth, since Michael Vick was from Newport News, VA - and that's hardly considered "the south".
