Look at all the hateful remarks Sunny makes five days about people. Why does she think she should be immuned.

[kathleenkelly]

Why did she have to go thru and repeat the alleged comments ? And why make it a point to say that even ppl who are famous or celebrities are not immune. Did she think she was because she's on tv? That sounds about like privledge. Also when you make it your job literally to go on tv and address the masses and insult and villify ppl you reap what you sew.

[fortred]

What race is she? How white does somebody have to be before you actually call them white? Do they just have to not agree with you politically?

[PrepH]

its a competition to see who the biggest victim is.

[texasnyghtmare]

I myself only take offense if someone says it to my face. He said she said is for the childish and does not deserve attention.

In response to those who have written comments below, don’t twist this. Sunny’s exec at ABC, just like the president, have power over Sunny based on their position over her. They are both are in leadership over her. Based on their power of authority over her, they should care and support and build her up and all others those who serve under them.

It’s no different than a teacher and student relationship. The teacher should not abuse their power over them by speaking negatively or putting them down, being disrespectful to them and referring to using phrases or words as if they are unworthy. It’s an abuse of power. If those in power over her, or anyone are consistently openly disrespected by their teacher, manager, community leader, etc and are poked have poked long at, they should expect a strike back at some point.

The Pres has said negative things to the world about the ladies of the view, starting many years ago. Back when Sunny complained about the words spoken to and in reference to immigrants, women, Latinos, Blacks, etc....many people sat back complicit because it didn’t affect them. They said nothing, just like some folks at ABC did if these allegations prove to be true. Since many just thought black people, women, and others should just get over it and it’s no big deal, some of you just expect us to shut up and take it. You wouldn’t stand for that nonsense if those demeaning and racist comments were directed to or were about you. Therefore, how is she and others wrong for standing up to racism and injustice, and to those who continue to be complicit. If we don’t speak up for the problems, we certainly can’t wait for you to speak up about it for us!

Most of us have have had enough! We couldn’t speak up and out more because we knew we’re always accused of use the “race” card, or folks didn’t want to deal with this truth that they couldn’t relate to. Yes, Sunny did speak up to the injustices and called out those who were the perpetrators. Bravo Sunny!

When will you all learn that you can only abuse your privilege and power for so long. Eventually, whether in your generation or in later generations, it will come back to bite you in your rear.

Please don’t allow another generation to suffer for the sins for which many refuse to acknowledge and therefore have left hundreds of thousands, and millions over time, wounded, broken, unharmed, and angry. All we ask is that you do better and treat us with the same dignity and respect that you want to treated. And don’t pretend that racism and biased thinking is far and few and in between. You can read these comments to know it is very well woven into every aspect of our society. And when your friends, colleagues, and those in authority say racist things, say something to them and tell them that’s not right. We don’t want yet another generation to be divided over this. I want better for my children and your children, and their children, etc. I would hope you want the same as well.
