Not even the Picard speech, although it’s a good Picard speech.
It’s the slavery bit with Guinan. Goldberg is gut-wrenchingly good in that scene. She defines the character, the episode, the subject and the entire show with the energy of a “very special episode” but the gravitas and emotional punch of genuinely all-timer good sci-fi.
I’m not particularly keen on projecting artists onto the finished product, particularly compared with the average outrage culture of US terminally online people. Even if I was, she isn’t a presence in my local media, so “generally unpleasant” wouldn’t be a factor anyway.
Man, it always gets me.

It’s too bad Whoopi Goldberg has ruined so much goodwill by being generally unpleasant because she really is a terrific actor.
