Sunny Hostin Accuses Black Guest Of Being A 'Pawn' #TYT

"Things turned a bit tense on The View when Sunny Hostin asked guest Coleman Hughes about being a “pawn of the right,” only to immediately have a co-host push back on her.

Hughes joined The View on Wednesday to promote his book, The End of Race Politics, in which he argues for a “colorblind approach to politics and culture.” Hughes also hosts a podcast called Conversations and is an analyst for CNN."

He absolutely destroyed her. Let’s call a spade a spade

[Pmoe]

Racism and classism is a huge problem in the world as a whole

[evepane]

Sunny is a nauseating humam being. She overestimates her importance in this genre. That young man handled himself like an intelligent, experience, author. She tried to take him down but he stood his ground and handed out the knowledge.
I want Sunny to debate TYTs Sonny and Anna. They would rip her to shreds.

[ladyk]

I am a Black person and I can’t stand Sunny. She always acts like she speaks for Black people she definitely does not speak for me. It is this young man’s RIGHT as a human being to believe what he wants to believe. I don’t have to agree with everything he says because I have my own opinion about things.

[yukonjack]

Coleman's intellectual honesty and robustness eclipses the partisan shallowness of The View.

[FollowThe-Money]

Well Sunny knows Dr. King’s daughter so of course she is right

[executivecars]

It’s amazing to see Anna be brave enough to speak the truth, sonny is a disgrace

[andrewhoward]

It is intellectually dishonest to say that race isn't a factor when it comes to racial disparities. To try to solve everything with economic policy isn't the solution. White southerners rejected The New Deal in the 1930s BECAUSE it was designed to help everyone, INCLUDING black people. Most race riots in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century were due to white anger towards black economic progress. I live in Birmingham, Alabama. From 1949 to 1965, an area of the city where prominent and successful black people lived was called Dynamite Hill. Ya know why? Because, white people were exploding black people's houses because they didn't believe that black people should have nice houses. Addressing economics alone doesn't solve all of society's problems, particularly race. Because, it doesn't matter how much money someone has, if your class system is based on race, racism will continue to persist until it is addressed directly.

Mlk jr said THIS CAMPAIGN WE COMING TO GET OUR CHECK! He was pushing for REPARATIONS FIRST! Yall are the sneaky foxes Malcolm X warned us about!!!

[alntr]

Ana, he makes some good points. However, this country was built on racism and is inherently racist. If you don't address the race issue and make reparations, monetary disbursements for slavery you can't fully address the class issue. You need to do more research on race and racism in America. Remember, your family came here many years after slavery and your perspective is from the view of the time you became aware of these issues. Black Americans have been here for hundreds of years and have a lived experience that you and your family that came here does not have. Soi it is kind of shortsighted for you to try and lecture Sonny when you don't have her lived experience. People should want to learn from the people who have the lived experience and know what it means to be 'black" in an inherently racist society. You have not had to suffer raced based prejudice your whole life, so on what research and lived experience are you basing your ideas? Stop telling black people how to feel and start to listen. It's obvious the guy you're agreeing with is compromised in his perspective because he does not have a full view of understanding that Sonny is speaking from. If you study MLK closely you will see that was was closer to Marcus Garvey than you would ever think, especially with regards to reparations. He, MLK spoke out against class injustice because it was unjust, as you tend to speak out about injustices that you care about. But that does not negate his perspective, views and work for the betterment of black people. You are trying to place MLK in a box to support your own views instead of studying him fully and that's what the guy was trying to do and Sonny was not having it, and neither should you if you want to be taken seriously. At the moment you can't be taken seriously on this issue. Have you studied WEB Dubois, John Henrick Clarke, Dr. Fuller, Dr. Cress Welsing, Marcus Garvey, Dr. Ben Jochannan, Cheik Anta Diop? Or, have you listened to the Bob Marley album Survival closely. Have you done any of these things? Have you really studied their work deeply and seriously and take a scholarly approach to the issue? I bet not or you would have a better understanding of the issue. You should look up Dixon White on youtube, you can start there.

Coleman is a hero, smarter than all in that room combined. Listening to his brilliant podcast from the beginning, I’m very happy for his great, great feedback on his appearance on the view.

[Gissie]

Ana as a black woman you certainly don’t speak for me

[melissademarco]

Sonny is an insufferable gatekeeper. Her hostile stance towards this intelligent forward thinking young man was not only cringeworthy but so so disrespectful. I was disappointed that the other so-called ladies failed to call her out for her rude comments and behavior. 🤮👎

[gilmoremccoy]

Anna, you should speak on your white privilege. And respect black people who speak about how we suffer daily from racism.

[dirtyenergywar]

"I will NOT be voting for Biden after his response to Israel"...

But THIS guys "thoughtful"?

Um, I don't think so, Ana...

[Tmack]

@6:06 and at this exact moment Ana exposes how bad faith of a journalist she really is in this story. Sunny and Coleman had a debate on what MLK said. If Ana and her minions.. I mean team did some research she could tell the audience who was factually correct in what MLK said or at least enlighten the audience with a fuller context. But instead she uses an ad hominem attack to diss Sunny. I could do the same Ana "Why are you're talking about Black and Hispanic issues when you're white" See how that works and how dumb doing that is?

[rebeccayoung]

She asked a fair question; last I checked, that's not vitriol. Your selective pearl-clutching is increasingly tiresome.
Also, your implied eye roll at the rejection of colour blindness is telling. The same goes for any marginalised group, if you pretend we're all the same you deny our identities and further marginalise people

[christinemulk]

Where is your proof that Black support for Trump has increased and what does a person’s attire have to do with the conversation. So childish!!

[lorigravelin]

You sound so petty and immature by bringing up her clothes. Would you agree with her if she was wearing your Walmart sweater? She’s a woman of a particular age who worked at a career, her husband is also a well off surgeon. It sounds kinda racist of you to act as if she’s not allowed to dare to wear a high class brand of clothing. I’ve always thought y’all were fair and usually open minded, lately y’all getting as bad as Trump and his cult followers.

[deltatriples]

Ana ignores that poor rural whites will gladly vote against these "socio economic policies", because it in large part will help poc's of similar economic situations. Just last year Missouri rejected federal food that would have helped children of all races with similar poor economic situations continue to get the food they had while in school. We continue to see home appraisals be different for the same house when it appears it's owned by blacks and not whites. Sunny is trying to point out that even when things are the same, there is still a race based bias and to ignore it is being willfully obtuse.
