Whoopi Goldberg whooped it up with some racially tinged humor at Gov. Cuomo’s fund-raising bash at the Waldorf Astoria last night.
“I just have to tell you. There are no black people (living) upstate,” emcee Goldberg said, eliciting some nervous laughter from the well-heeled crowd of real estate titans, lobbyists, PR mavens and labor leaders at the $1,500-a-plate dinner.
She also said all the black people came down to the city looking for jobs.
Cuomo, who is looking to overhaul the campaign finance laws, easily took in over a million dollars from wealthy contributors.
