- ‘The View’ co-host Sonny Hostin is a known advocate of reparations payments to modern-day black Americans to correct historical injustices stemming from slavery and Jim Crow. But what happens when PBS reveals to her that her own ancestors were actually slaveholders themselves? Let’s watch and react.

“Have we reached the ultimate stage of absurdity where some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, while other people are not held responsible for what they themselves are doing today?” -Thomas Sowell
amen to that like criminals want to be let go just because they say they are innocent when they clearly did commit the crimes they are being charged with but then they turn around and call everyone else guilty for crimes that was done in the past that those individuals had no part of, infact some people still ignores the fact a black person started the whole slavery trend in america by turning a servant who would have got his freedom after so many years into a permanent life long slave
The thing is, white privilege is very much alive in the civilized world and Americans should pay reparations to us instead of their own citizens.
Sowell is gangsta.
The answer to that is yes.
I know in places like japan, korea, mongolia it was like for like forever, but i realy don't want this not westen way of thinking to be westen .
Black people owned slaves too. Even here in America. Talk is cheap, facts are gold.
Owned slaves as in bought their family members to free them? Yes that’s the only way to say a family member that was a slave back then.
@@LaTericealloverno there were black slave owners, not people buying back their families straight up slave owners. I only found this out a few years ago too it’s pretty surprising and sad that it’s not taught in schools because it would help teach us the nuance of humans and that the capacity for human cruelty is not and never will be color or race bound.
Slavery would not have been possible but for the involvement of African nations involved in the capture and selling of slaves.
Let's ignore the Africans and Arabs who sold them......
Their Ancestors owe too, so do the African! uck um all
Saying she didn't realize her family is from Spain and she only thought of herself as half Puerto Rican shows how ignorant she is about history
Totally agree. Glad someone pointed this out.
And therefore unqualified to make judgements about this generation's moral guilt and demands for it to make reparations and to whom.
Exactly. My roots on my great grandmothers side are super Puerto Rican and my grandmother and father swore for the longest time that we were highly native Puerto Rican, but even as a kid, i knew that was highly unlikely. Spaniards were everywhere. Im only 2% native Puerto Rican. My dad and grandmother were so surprised, but of course i wasnt, lol.
Especially with how white she looks!
lol Whoopi acting all confused telling us to clean off our tv screens… like uhhh no Whoopi, stop being racist.
IMO not ignorant, trying to cover her past up.
i still cant fathom the fact that people feel they deserve reparations for something theyve never experienced
It’s a just a cash grab. Don’t worry those people will blow the reparations very quickly and be out blaming everyone else for their new situation but with out the benefit of getting free money a second time😂🤣
Almost like they just want money and don’t give an eff about the logistics lol
and if they do - where is the cutoff? Can british and french ask for reparations from Italy for the slaves held by romans? Do we get to hold the muslim world for the Christian slaves they held?
If they get restitution for the countries that sold them into slavery and maybe we can sit down and have a conversation actually what they contribute to this country
Or on the basis of their skin colour.
It's interesting that she has to face both sides in her ancestry. Rational people though understand that people don't inherit guilt or sins of their ancestors.
100%
Amen! :).
Rational people do, but not woke idiots!
Rational people do not subscribe to leftist ideas or ideals.
That's a lie. Germany was paying reparations well after the death of Hitler, and most Nazi soldiers were dead or jailed. Hell, they're still paying reparations.
Oppressor and colonizer! I looked up what MLK said about reparations and he stated “ There are twice as many white people in poverty as there is African Americans. Therefore I will not dwell on the experiences of poverty that derive from racial discrimination but will discuss the poverty that affects white and Negro alike” I have always held MLK in the highest regard and I feel like she is the one twisting his words and dreams to suit her purpose! i have felt for a long time that if MLK was alive today he would not approve of the way things were, but not for the reasons most African Americans would think!
Thank you for looking that up. I was scratching my head and thinking "I don't remember MLK saying that " Granted I was a white kid and clear out in Wyoming but not what I remembered at all. And I agree about MLK reaction to all that is going on. How disappointed he would be that he gave his life so black college students could bring back segregation? They clearly don't understand his message!
MLK would be turning in his grave at modern Democrats and his "Left". They would've torn down his statue. 😣
@@psluxton Not that he would be, he IS turning in his grave.
They gotta keep reframing the past to fit their hogwash, no matter how badly they have to lie to achieve it.
Wow thanks for checking that out.
She pretends to cry when her black ancestor registered to vote, but no tears about the ancestor who was a slave holder these people are ridiculous what's wrong with people
The response was laughter..
Voting for liberals, is like a Republican coming home with a medal from war.
No one is responsible for what their ancestors have done.
So now if Sunny Hostin still wants reparations, she has to pay herself!!😅😅😂😂😂😅
How bout she pay the IRISH? White slaves existed too.
Hahahaha
Bad Luck Brian 😂
Sunny better get another job 🤣🤣
@@DeathclawJedi Irish? Where are my repatriations from half of Europe for centuries of anti-Semitism, lol?
Sonny Hostin called for reparations until she realized she’d have to pay for them. Now she’s trying to backtrack. Don’t let her.
Obviously it was by rape
She has basically doubled down on still deserving reparations.
she had the $$$$ too
She also mentioned wealth redistribution, but she makes more money than the average American. I wonder if she’s giving up any of her wealth.
@@robertnguyen9493 shes a wealthy descendant of a slave owner. she is the exact person she demands reparations from.
She thought she was Puerto Rican but didn’t have roots in Spain yet 70% of Puerto’s Rico’s ancestry as a whole stems from Spain.
Clue is in the name.
When men from the West first went to Africa. They found a thriving slave trade already there.
Look at what happened in Rwanda in our time. A strong black tribe killing a weaker black tribe.
Seriously just the idea that Europeans sailed to West Africa, got off their boats in a totally foreign land and ran through the jungle overpowering and capturing the natives is ABSURD.
@@John_on_the_mountain Of course it is ABSURB. The Europeans found a thriving slave trade already there. Strong tribes murdering and enslaving weaker tribes. The only thing the Europeans did was to change it from an National Slave Trade, within Africa into an International Slave Trade. The blacks are as guilty as the whites when it comes to slavery and murder.
I keep telling people that but for some reason they are blind. Not even able to see your common sense.
Lenny Henry a black comedian in the UK condemning whites for the slave trade, got the shock of his life when he discovered he came from a family of rich black slave traders.
@@John_on_the_mountain My post in reply to yours has disappeared and I can't find yours. The only way I could find it I still had yours in notifications. Seems only one side of a story is allowed.

Nelson Mandela stated “Our world is not divided by race, colour, gender or religion. Our world is divided into wise people and fools. And fools divide themselves by race, colour, gender and religion.”
Great quote but Nelson Mandela didn’t say this… Mohamad Safa did.
Love guides the heart with kindness, it heals, and is intelligent with understanding.
He also said any none Muslim country that goes to war with a Muslim country is evil......so
Her reaction cracks me up. “I always thought of myself as Puerto Rican.” What do you think that is? Oh girl 🤦♀️ This is the problem with erasing history.
Don't you know, Puerto ricans just sprout out of soil after a heavy rain?
@@i.b.640😂
Erasing history they don’t have a single clue on what it’s about
I suppose she didn't pay attention in her history classes in school. She likely did take history in college as she's a bit ignorant in that area.
I feel you. Everybody knows that Hispanic/Latinos have Spaniard, African and Indigenous blood In them. Ayyy. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
I am a black person,shouldn’t we get reparations from Africa also?Our ancestors had us in slavery in Africa first,before the Arabs and Portuguese took over the slave trade:who sold our ancestors to them:I believe our ancestors did
They did according to what I’ve read. AND the pirates of Tripoli also enslaved white men and women as well as African women , women and children. They raided America ships and too everything including occupants. History is hard .
Correct.
I watched a program about a lady that was the descendant of one of the biggest black slave traders and kidnappers in Western Africa. When asked about reparations she straight up mocked the idea.
African involvement in the slave trade was complex, with varying degrees of complicity and acknowledgment. Africans were involved in various capacities, including raiding for slaves, acting as middlemen, and facilitating transactions with European and Arab purchasers. Either they were enticed by greed or had no choice but do what was told. Remember history is written by the winner as they seem fit. It might not be black and white but a lot of shades of grey. Can we fathom what would they have gone through?
The owners of slaves who profited could be paying, it's known who bought & sold.
Most of America today had nothing to do with this, my Grand parents came to America in 1918 just like 99% of America.
I am the third generation immigrant. Why as a white American am I responsible for the disgusting actions of others who were here before my family arrived?!
The comment made by her and Joy though near the end. "How are you responsible for what your ancestors did?". Very hypocritical after all she has preached.
“How are you responsible for what your ancestors did?”
*supports reparations*
Actual doublethink in action. That lady is a joke
you really can't make this shit up
gotta love the double standards
🤦🤦🤦 Such a hypocrite. She failed to use the moment to speak the truth we see
It's only when it affects them they apply logic
“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.” Mark Twain
Mark Twain was a racist.
The world doesn't owe...Amerikkka does.
@@user-qz3pf7mw7f yes if anyone owes anyone anything the democratic party owes everyone everything that they have as it was the democratic party that supported slavery it was the democratic party that made the KKK and ANTIFA and black lives matter it is the democrats that have done everything they could to divide the nation in every matter that they could for their own gain!
There's no evidence Twain ever said that.
nah bro this logic don't work on them casue he's white, therefore Mark Twain = oppressor
Wipes tears because an ancestor voted. How ridiculous.
Since I don't watch The View I had no idea she was black. She looks white with Hispanic features. In the broad scope of things it really doesn't matter.
As soon as she found out, she said "look how far we've come".
Funny how she doesnt find that same mentality for the rest of us.
Fake victim.... no one ever blamed people living today for what an ancestor did.
@bipslone8880 lol. "Noone ever blamed people living today for what an ancestor did"
Then you aren't listening to what activists and professors are saying. They literally say regular people today benefitted from slavery and owe the black community.
@@bipslone8880 lol gaslighting AF, they're constantly doing it even right now 😂
@@bipslone8880I like how you people do stuff for years and then just go "no one ever did that" like as if we weren't there 😂
@@PrinceIsot the funniest thing is if you check at every countries laws on the planet that exists , you will always find a law that says that after 20 years there is prescription on a crime. So their desire to hold on , on human crime that is slavery is funny because we re not talking about decades but more like 2 centuries at least 💀
Meanwhile pakistanis and indians forced to work for rich emirs in Middle-East : 👀👀👀👀
Her ancestors didn't just own slaves, they fled/left their country (Spain) so they could continue slaving......
@Rambletripe1
Sounds about white
Then after all that, they told everyone they werent slaves but employeed. She comes from a long line of slave owners who also lied.
The slaves must have been recently freed men and women.
@@linminnesota2036, no. Actually listen to the words in the video.
ok
She's making a pile. She should PAY reparations.
Finally, a fact she cannot deny. She's now "enriched" . What else is she going to say ? How embarrasing. Shows the lack of research and integrity by these lazy accusers.
Everybody says that white privileged people should pay reparations for black slavery but here in the UK and parts of Europe there were also white slaves. For over 200 years the Muslim Barbary pirates ransacked homes in England and Ireland and parts of Europe taking 1.5 million men, women and children to Africa. I want reparations for my ancestors.
It’s American racial poison that’s spilling over to the UK because B Brits look at America as some sort of spiritual homeland.
Even in the US the majority of people of European descent don't have have slave owners in their family tree.
Only a fraction of white families in the Southern United States owned slaves. According to the 1860 United States Census, approximately 25% of white families in the Southern states owned slaves.
Outside of the South, slavery was less prevalent, and slave ownership was even rarer. In the Northern states, only a tiny fraction of households owned slaves.
On top of that, many poor immigrants from Europe, including those from Ireland, arrived in the United States during the 19th century, particularly during periods of famine, economic hardship, and political upheaval in their home countries. They took on low-paying jobs in industries such as construction, mining, and domestic service.
Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the United States experienced waves of immigration from various European countries, including Poland and other Eastern European nations. These immigrants came to the United States seeking economic opportunities, religious freedom, and escape from political turmoil in their homelands.
It wouldn't make sense for descendants of those immigrant to pay reparations.
@@MrClassicmetal I saw a report of only 6% of the South owning slaves.
Funny the large disparity there of 6% vs 25%.
Maybe the year or the keyword 'family'?
Also rarely mentioned are the 3,000+ Blacks who owned slaves in the South and fought against the Union in the Civil War.
@@surfersilver6610 Yes, you raise some good points there.
And it all adds up to the arguments against reparations.
true but ask anyone thats got the mindset of demanding equality and reparations and they would deny a single black person has ever owned a slave or started the slavery movement itself in america
How is somebody who is Puerto Rican surprised that they have Spanish ancestors?
She's a narcissist and thinks that everything she says is correct and has value
Not very clever people Democrats
We've been manipulated to forget that. It's called the SPANISH BLACK LEGEND.
@@EdgardoPlasencia I have never heard of that, and had to look it up. Thank you!
Slavery isn't a black and white issue. Well that's a shock. And white countries weren't the only countries to have empires. Astonishing news.
Portugal and Spain dealt in more slaves than Britain. And they both had empires. And lets not forget that Africans sold the slave in the first place.
And as a British tax payer, I have paid for the cost of abolishing the world wide slave trade. Including a bribe Britain paid to Spain to get them to blockade slave ports in Brazil
No one should ever be accountable for something that happened before their time.
When you enjoy and reap the benefit of it you are accountable
@@jeromep3182 both ethnicities are enjoying the benefits of it. History is ugly. But if it didn't happen the way it did, yall would probably be in Africa still. But yall living luxury here.
@@jeromep3182 People did get rich off of the słavetrade, BOTH in Afríca and Ameríca. However, the rich didn’t spread their wealth around, the vast majority of people were incredibly poor. The reason the US citizens and average Eurøpeans got out of poverty was the IndustrialRevolution and the LaborMovement (not słavery).
Before that life was very hard for the majority of people, liife expectancy was much lower and just about everyone lived in pøverty. The average worker made $16.00 a week in the 1800s, working 12 to 16 hours a day. Some trades made as little as two dollars a week and workplace safety was essentially nonexistent. During the IndustrialRevolution and before, often even chiłdren had to work. Working 12 to 16 hours a day, six to seven days a week, employed in physically demanding frequently very dangerøus work.
At that point in time generational wealth didn’t exist for the majority of us, there was nothing to pass down for the vast majority of people. This also doesn’t even take into account, all the people that came after and weren’t even here during that time. It also overlooks that fact that not everyone considered “whíte” today, were considered whíte back then. The argument that collectively blames all “whíte” people is disingenuøus and absurd.

So she knows she’s half Puerto Rican, formerly a Spanish colony, yet she is this shocked at the revelation that some of her ancestors from Spain owned slaves? Interesting.
More like embarrassing
This is the best part for me. Funny as hell.
Exactly she is an ignorant
Btw spain didn't have colonies.. They were called virreinatos.. (viceroyalties)
@@jessy8a10 a different name doesn’t make it a different thing. A different governance strategy, but the end objective is the same - extract wealth
Puerto Rican here 🙋♀️If she truly felt PR and wasn’t using it to get some brownie points she would know that we are descendants of Spaniards. It’s common knowledge for Puerto Ricans.
Yes, she was surprisingly ignorant of that fact! The name Puerto Rico is Spanish, so even someone with no other information should be able to figure out that it was colonized by Spain.
US citizenship and knowledge of geography or history rarely go hand in hand.
@@jmj5388right! I guess it should be common sense. Goes to show people will keep adding “minority traits” to themselves to have those victim points
@@janbo8331I guess so 😅
I'm from European and not from Spain, but even over here it's pretty common knowledge that if you're from PR, it would be unlikely you don't have at least some Spanish ancestry.
I'm portuguese, European I'm proud of my history. Big up for you lady the world needs people like you and lest left... All success for you
Why? Portugal is hardly leading global development 😂
Said it for ages, these people expect reparation, but note none of them talk about repatriation back to Africa.
If going by Sonny Hostin's logic, she owes me reparations because my ancestors were enslaved by Spanish slave owners. My homecountry was also occupied by the Spanish for 300 years. How much do I get for that, I wonder?
My logic would say: nothing because I was never a slave. But, if Sonny is willing to send some money my way, why not?
Please send her a letter making a demand for reparations
And she has no idea how many of her ancestors were actually freeform, freed or slaves and that matters for reparations.
Your ancestors were not enslaved by the Spanish, your ancestors WERE Spanish. You might want to do a DNA test. 😂
@@actoraahe's point still stand, i want money for that some random ancestor was enslave, all of the ones i know of were never slaves but if i'll go far enath back i'm sure to find something from like 550 years ago or something, so wheres my money .🤣
@@actoraai mean, the same logic applies to blacks. A lot of them have european ancestry. Youre not making the flex you think you are.
White woman here. My ancestry is Irish. I am the descendant of slaves. So... How is it that i would be expected to make reparations?
You owe a lot of money to yourself.
SAME. I have an ancestor who was an Irish child who was sold into slavery after his parents were worked to death. I ain't paying nobody for SHITE.
Ain't she the Pot calling the Kettle Black😂. Guess who is White Privileged now!
Everyone is a descendant of a slave. When you consider what happened in England 16th/17th century. Queen Elizabeth made outdoor relief for the poor a parish responsibility. It was dubbed “the mini welfare state” and enacted in law as the poor law. By 1832 the law was amended which scrapped outdoor relief and only offered support for people who take up residence in a work house (think Oliver Twist). It wasn’t uncommon for children and young people to relocated from these work houses to business owner who wanted free labour. They would compensate the work house financially and release the children to businesses.
The conditions inside the workhouses were awful. Rather than work, the residents were given a range of soul cleansing tasks such as picking the opum from ropes (which they were told would be reused for the navy) and digging holes and filling them back in again. Okay, the residents had a choice, live in the work, have a roof and get fed or leave and die. It’s not really a choice at all.
The last workhouse didn’t close its doors until the 1950s. I worked with some of the families who lived in the last workhouse and even then, the abuse they suffered was awful. Families were separated by gender but the children stayed with the mother. I met an adult born of incest who told me the parent only ever knew affection from each other.
My point is awful things happen to people who are low down the food chain and none of these people are asking for handouts. Their pain is current and still writhing three generations of the actual event which means lots of them are still alive.
@@MrJones895not just that but those of who are English (although I have Scottish and Irish ancestry) also have Scandinavian DNA. I did mine recently and lo and behold I do have that. Most of us do from the old raping and pillaging days.
Also my line of British ancestors never left the country so we aren’t the colonisers 🤔
This is why history is so important, because it will change your perspective on what you thought you knew.
Thank you for sharing your insights and for looking beyond the surfaces at seeing the good and the bad. The content of your character is always impressive!
In 9 generations, we are descended from over 500 ‘grandparents.’ It goes without saying we are all likely to be descended from slaves, slave holders, and abolitionists. In each of us is the best and worst of humanity, but also, we each carry the possibility to learn from our shared history and hope for a better version of the human race.
Also every human on earth has genes in them associated with S exual vi olence. It has been so common over the millennia women have an evolutionary coping mechanism ‘Stockholm syndrome’ which only affects women. In Central Asia it’s still common that women are kidnapped off the street and forcibly married off. Weird but not unique to European colonisation
the key word is learn, if we learn from our history and actively make ourselves better so we dont repeat those mistakes the world can become a better place, however lots of people thinks they can erase the past with the same crimes of the past in the modern days
Beautifully said. ❤

Its usually a elis island achor baby that say what u say. Lol when they give repaarations will you go home out of rage or will you fight to your last breath to hender it?

Slavery came with a whole lot of black women and young (even underage girls) being violated, I don't know why this is so surprising.
Thank You for Making This Video!!
I Appreciate It
So much truth in your words !
Imagine that… a person of Puerto Rican descent with Spanish blood running through their veins. Who woulda thunk it?
I mean just because my boy Bolivar had some black in him don’t change he was light skin as the snow in most of his pictures and his family were land owners and slave owners. 😂. An that man still the hero of half of South America.
They going to ask Bolivia to change its name?
@OrysB-po1fy In fact, one the main reasons for the uprising against Spain was the new Constitution of 1812 which abolish slavery. Most rich "criollos" (mixed upper class families) were slave owners and were not up to change that.
@@OrysB-po1fy How many Plaza de Armas have you stood in? 😂
Gotta love how its 'Your responsible for your ancestors actions' until its in her own family then its 'I am not responsible for their actions.'
Thank You! You have summed this up nicely! She's all about reparations when she thought whe was getting some.
Great news to call out the truths. Well done lady.
Good work, Amala. Glad to see you again on your journey seeking truth.
as a Puerto Rican, what did she think was gonna show up??? our beauty comes from the diversity in our blood, but how did she think that diversity came about? if you're mixed, and know that there were slaves in Puerto Rico, and the Taínos didn't own them, where do you think the European side of us come from? common sense ain't common, folks, especially on The View
Exactly what I’m wondering!
They know they just want to be able to deny it.
So Sunny is a descendant of elites! Since, not all Spaniards in Puerto Rico during the colonial period were slave owners. While there was a segment of the Spanish population that did own slaves, particularly among the wealthy elite class, the majority of Spaniards on the island were not slave owners.
The Spanish population in Puerto Rico during colonial times was diverse, consisting of settlers, soldiers, clergy, merchants, artisans, and laborers, among others. Many of these individuals did not have the financial means or social status to afford slaves.
@@MrClassicmetal The slave owners were elites everywhere. Slaves were too expensive for the majority of people living in any country.
@danielthetornado
We been knew she was you, but she not a busta. She took it on the chin. While yall see reparations in the form of citizenship. You think you earned that? Lol comedy
She obviously knows nothing about Puerto Rico and its history if she’s surprised by that.
Like why does she think Puerto Rico is called Puerto Rico? Like why does she think Puerto Ricans speak Spanish?
The educational system at its finest is shown here 😂
She knew. Or suspected. She said she hadn't really wanted to go through with finding out her ancestry, but her hubby insisted. It means of course that she's been in favor of reparations all the while hoping her family wouldn't get found out. lol.
She obviously knows nothing your dead right lol
"Now ya got me crying"....
Not a single tear falls.....
Thank you for your analytic mind and wisdom as a young commentator who has a voice with impact.
Reparations seems like a ridiculous concept to me.
“Hey your ancestors wronged my ancestors, therefore YOU owe ME!”
Makes no sense.
@Pinkles666
Same for the siberian natives amerians right?
The fun part is, if you go back far enough you can no doubt find the roles of oppressed and oppressor flip.
My mom is Korean, but has 7% Japanese in her. Japan once attacked Korea in the 1600's. Therefore it is quite possible one of my ancestors was r4p3d by a japanese soldier. Yet my white step-father taught me forgiveness.He introduced me to the Bible, and from it I learned that sons are not guilty of the sins of their father.
@@saphiriathebluedragonknight375 The Japanese ruled over Korea in 1910 and during ww2 caused several major genocides in Korea and China estimated between 270,000 and 810,000 Korean deaths. Korean laborers were also found as far as the Tarawa Atoll, where during the Battle of Tarawa only 129 of the 1200 laborers survived. It was far more recent then 1600s and cause hate for the Japanese in China and Korea today but agree nonetheless.
Ah! I may be Korean, but since my mom was adopted by Americans I know very little about Korean history.

And only _from_ actual slave traders/ owners, not from randon people just because they happen to have the b same skin colour.

Right! It's what works best for you.
Yep, human enslavement and trafficking went from crimes against man to just a bummer ..... really fast for this crew.
the fact of life is that her ancestors were raped and violated by a slaver??? Yeah that is a depressing reality imagine waking up and finding out you only exist because your father raped your mother
It gives "This thing is bad but MY family did it for good reason"
And right after, one of them says “well you can’t control it” as in you have no control over what your ancestors did meaning you can’t be held responsible. But white people CAN still be held responsible for what their ancestors did?! The sheer audacity of these people…
Amala, thank you for your understanding and sharing. There are many things each one of us do not know about our selves.
So, when her family does it, it's "a fact of life" and "she's not responsible"

My mother had to sew her own clothes because they couldn't get store bought clothing. Growing up, my biggest bully was a black person. I am not accountable for a past I had nothing to do with. Current times I think we are all equal and can make great achievements or not... let's stop being victims and take responsibility for our lives by making good decisions.
💯 as I found out my ancestors we slaves..I don’t ask for 💩 I don’t need it..they never seem to go back far enough in the past..just stop at their part..🤷♀️🙄🤦
THIS LOT DONT KNOW THAY ARE BORN. THAY GET EVERYTHING HANDED TO THEM . NOW YOU HAVE TO WET NURSE THEM TILL THAY ARE 30 . I LAUGH AT THE WEEDS WE ARE TURNING OUT . GOOD LORD GIVE ME STRENGTH 😊😊😣😣
@@bzb8554 😂😂😂😂 yapper said nothing.
You think wrong and don't dare compare your bull with the extensive country sanctioned treatment of myself and my ancestors...it shows a clear lack of understanding.
Same. Those of us who grew up in the 80's and 90's know who really has the privilege.
My Scottish and Irish ancestors were slaves. This is not taught in America.
Where were they slaves?
Are you descended from Irish taken to the Caribbean?
@@fainitesbarley2245 the Irish were dragged away by the Vikings and sold to Arabs who castrated the men. My ancestors were slaves in South Carolina. I am sorry, but you will need to go to the UK to learn proper Scottish history.
@@scottishgold6595
Well slavery by vikings and later Barbary Corsairs was common all round the British Isles.
As for early slavery in the Caribbean or the US it was either indentured servants - which is not slavery, or convict labour.
One of my ancestors was kidnapped from Edinborough, shipped off to the US colonies and sold into indentured servitude, which I guess isn't exactly slavery, but sure wasn't consensual.
Industrial slavery is another subject - in the uk coal mines were owned by individuals and workers “tied” to their jobs via accommodation and sometimes receiving pay in vouchers not cash , effectively unable to leave.
Amen darling I am a 60 year old white woman my great-grandmoth also said that we had Ethiopian blood in our bodies
Everybody should pay themselves reparations. Its called taking responsibility for yourself and making your life better with out harassing others.
Not just owning slaves but enslavers
I hadn’t caught that but that’s a big difference
No ‘traders’ Spain didn’t have the physical land in Africa to be able to do it. It took centuries until medicines were developed that allowed Europeans to venture into the interior of Africa and by that time it was the British and French (mostly the French) that dominated west Africa.
They even moved and took the slaves with them because Europe banned slavery
Yeah...her ancestors even uprooted just to maintain their trades, that's a special kind of evil.
@@boxtradums0073I had read somewhere that a white person going into Africa only had 24 hours till they were killed. Other Africans rounded up their own race to sell to the slave traders. It wasn’t like it was depicted in the mini series Roots. Also that black people in the U.S. also owned slaves and didn’t always treat them well.
Notice that, when her slavers ancestors were revealed..she said "It's a lesson in how people earn their lives that time" So was she saying that a slaver was just doing a job?!
Edit: Well I'm famous now? Thanks good sirs and madams!
Exposed as a massive hypocrite. Let's all pretend we're surprised.
These people are deluded. African people are still enslaving each other today, and all the other horrors like FGM, child marriage, witchcraft, oppression of women and gays. The US didnt become great because of slavery, every culture had slavery and most of them are poor..Slavery still exists all over the world and its mostly the poor countries.
Keep that same energy without needing SUE your employer for beating and S% assault RP and with no pay
as always the left says when it comes to their families & own lives they can do anything even bad things but everyone else has to suffer & avoid doing even legal things like legal ways to lower taxes when rich but again even the poor & elderly on fix income still have to pay their taxes & shouldn't get any loopholes that democrats especially in congress enjoy.
Uh oh, now she has to pay herself reparations.
Amala what a lovely bright young woman you are. I wish you every happiness and success in your career. 81 year old from the UK.
I'm Australian. My ancestors on one side of my family were ripped from their home put on ships and sent to Australia as Convict (slave) labour. On the other side of my family, they were the very oppressors who sent the convicts over. Also, I'm white... I'm half privileged, half slave descendant... I get so confused.... Am i a victim of myself? Do I owe myself reparations? But then I'm told I owe the aboriginal people reparations...because I'm white and stole their land.
It's all such bullshit. Can't we all just get along? If my ancestors were arseholes, so be it. That doesn't mean I have to be. If my ancestors were victims, so be it. That doesn't mean I have to be a victim. Our job as humans isn't to fix the past. It's to do the best we can right now so that we make our future better. To make sure we don't repeat the mistakes of the past. It's time we all move on and take responsibility for our future.
A great observation
ps. as a Brit please don't ask me for compensation for the forced migration of your convicted ancestors!! On the other hand, at least they got free passage and didn't need any immigration points to get down under. I wouldn't qualify now. I'm too old☹
@mikeybrum468 Don't come to Australia. I'm saying this as a friend. As a country, we are not in a good place. Even if you got here, you wouldn't be able to afford a place to live, and even if you can, there aren't enough houses to go around anyway. In my town at the moment we have lots of homeless people in tents and caravans, all of whom are employed. I know that's not a problem limited to Australia, but there are better places to be. We are not the lucky country anymore. Maybe try New Zealand? Then you can visit Australia as much as you want!
@mikeybrum468 I love the modern Australia/England relationship. All that history, both good and bad, and it has culminated in a healthy respect for each other and a great friendship ... except during the Ashes, then things get a little heated. Who holds the ashes right now? I forget... lol
Io
You ancestors weren’t slaves they were convicts. No comparison one bit, your ancestors chose to break the law, slaves didn’t have any choices
Every single person on this earth has heros and villains, oppressed and oppressors in their ancestry.
Great commentary btw, nuanced and intelligent. Subscribed.
Love your channel
No one should be held accountable for their past generations. You have no control over it.
Oh, please don’t say that. I’m wanting reparations from the Romans, Vikings, and the Norman French! 😂
When she called for reparations from white people and claim that white supremacy is the biggest problem in America, I don’t think she gets a pass.
How can anybody who was never a slave expect reparations from people who never owned slaves? Not only that, but she is descended from slave owners . What’s the thought process here?
Can't she just pay herself reparations and call it a day?
In modern society inheritance is the most important factor for you ending up "wealthy". Its much worse in the US than in other nations as the US has an educational and legal system that is designed to stop poor people from advancing (Reagan did a lot of bad things in this regard). Decedents of Slaves by definition started at the bottom and for that reason the majority of black people in the US are still relatively poor.
However that argument falls apart when people are of mixed heritage and it would be really hard on all those other poor people out there. The best thing the US could do when trying to spend money is to fix the system.
@@_aullik From the _National Study of Millionaires_
Here are the facts:
- Only 21% of millionaires received any inheritance at all.
- Just 16% inherited more than $100,000.
- Only 3% received an inheritance at or above $1 million
@@bills5009 Sry but that is not a study and certainly not a national one. That is a white paper at best. The "study" is a 9 page press release without any actual data or methods.
I agree that what i said with inheritance is a massive oversimplification. If you are a child of rich parents it is much easier to become rich yourself. You get good education and in general a lot of financial support, but at this point you have not yet inherited, even tho your parents have given you a lot of money/support.
@@_aullik Back to the original point...
You realize that not all black people were slaves in the 19th century US. And some black people owned slaves themselves.
So how do you justify reparations 150 years later? Who qualifies? Who pays?
I love this.
You are not responsible for your ancestors actions, good or bad. And you should feel NO SHAME. What matters is the content of YOUR character and what YOU do. She is not a victim nor an oppressor. She is the sum total of her actions and beliefs, just like all of us. Because NEWS FLASH: ALL of us have ancestors at some point that have done bad things! All of us are sons and daughters of oppressors and the opressed at some point.
So take pride in the positive aspects of your herritage, and recognize that you make your own path in life.
Slaves came from Europe, Africa & other countries. Slaves from Africa were round up by for African Kings
Since she is a direct descendant of a slave owner then she can begin handing out the reparations 1st to lead the way on this.
She can cut that check right to herself. I'm sure the View pays well enough.
Sounds good.
So exactly how much does Sunny owe Whoopi now? 😅😅😂
Lol
Now we know what Sunny makes Whoopi get the coffee
@@boxtradums0073
😅😅😅😂😂
I wonder if Whoppis ansesters worked for Sunny's family 😂
@@rachelbirchall4630Lol!
Well spoken young lady
My whole Outlook changed when I found out my black ancestors owned slaves. It brought a lot into perspective.
Two of the cohosts just said Sunny is not responsible for what her ancestors did. I wish they would’ve repeated that to her after she said “you still owe us reparations”
It’s just hypocrisy 🤦🏽♂️
@@Xaviallin1race grifters gotta race grift
She's somehow "excused" I'm guessing for the half that owned slaves, too bad that doesn't apply with the rest of humanity, but double-standards and all......
@@Slayer398 Personally, I believe that any leftist is free to hand over her paycheck to a random saggy-pantsed crackhead who is wandering the streets. Leave MY excessively-taxed income out of it.
I like how both sides of my family came to America as poor European immigrants after the civil war and helped build America as Appalachian coal miners and Midwestern farmers but according to people like her even I am accountable for American Slavery but she thinks shes not?
Salt of the earth folk. Fed and fueled the nation. Many thanks for their hard work!
Same with my family. My grandfathers worked in the steel mills
Same with my family. Someone told me I still owe because my ancestors benefited from the slaves being freed because it created paying jobs. Wtf?
You must have missed how later on her show you ancestors didn't help build America, it was all just the slaves who built it. Something I just can't understand as it undercuts all the contributions of all the other minorities along side who put their blood, sweat and energy into building this country up.
Like all of them, she uses her woke mental gymnastics to justify her own blatant bigotry.
What would she say if a decendant of her slave holder ancestor came to her demanding restitution from her?
I have both sides of history in my family tree. My maternal 4th great-grandfather was a Union solider. As well as his brother. And my paternal 5th great-grandparents were slave transporters.
I have ancestors who owned slaves and ancestors who fought (and died) to end that appalling practice. I also have ancestors who, while themselves the descendants of slave owners, rejected the wealth and societal status that resulted from slavery and lived in abject poverty as a result.
Here's the thing: I'm not accountable for the sins of my ancestors, neither am I absolved based on the things others got right. I'm only accountable for my own choices and hope I get them right more often than not.
Well it depends. If said ancestors (parent or grandparent) are still alive and you are getting wealth or such from their wrong doings then that is its own thing. Like if your parent stole something and then gave it to you or an heirloom your grandparent gave you is a war heirloom they took (which was illegal to do at the time).
But we all need to talk about this appalling aspect of African history way more than we do currently. How often is this mentioned during BHM ? Plus will all the African countries heavily involved in the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade have to pay reparations to all the descendants of enslaved Africans living in the Diaspora today ? Why only European countries & Arab nations ? 🤔
@@tudormiller887 So BHM is about black American history more so than African or the "black" diaspora. Typically you go into African studies or world studies of some sort if you want something outside of your specific country (as most countries only teach history as it relates to them).
As for the African countries heavily involved having to pay, The countries surrounding them have asked Benin and such to apologies and pay or at least do something.
I would say the countries that were heavily effect till even recently have some right to ask if the country they are asking did said thing to them and said country is parading some form of "justice".
So all the things you have mentioned are talked about and such its just they typically don't go onto the radar of most people (recommend listening to NPR or like publication as it does keep you a bit more informed on a wider breath of issues, though politically I disagree with their anticonflict bias).
Yea not that many people believe this way. Only a problem if you live in Cali or spend ur whole life on a college campus. People grow up and when they do it involves no longer being a leftist. That is IF they grow up
The slave trade between Africa and Brazil was 10x the slave trade between Africa and America.
And Brazil only stopped because Britain blockaded their country and west Africa.
The slave trade to the middle east never stopped. Including white people being kidnapped from eastern european countrys. still goes on today.
An inconvenient truth that is always swept under the carpet by the race-baiters and their WOKE-A-DOKE SJW allies.
So?
@morganlafey6791 Spain/Portugal accounted for over 95% of the slave trade. Why so high? Their slaves didn't last long, so had to keep replacing them.
~12.5 million, while North America accounted for ~300k.
I thought she reacted really humbly to her ancestory and you gave a fair anlysis and example of this difficul issue
Lets just agree then to pay ourselves (each person pay them self) the reparations we feel we ourselves are due. There's equality and fairness in one.
Let's notice that she "appears" to be close to tears with learning her ancestor registered to vote. However, when finding out about the slave owner info, she practically giggled.
Well, remember requiring documentation to vote is wacist. It must be such a disappointment to learn that her black ancestors didn't fit into the stereotype she has been taught to hold.
It's really sad they didn't take the opportunity to tell her he voted Republican! 😂
@@jameshathaway5117😂😂😂
@jameshathaway5117 Missed the opportunity for sure. But I'm sure the guy who provided the info only chose to give her 1 dose of reality and avoid a huge argument on camera 🤣 Besides, she probably believes that the party "switched"..
That’s clearly a nervous laugh, not pride.
And the Republican party most definitely did switch to become the party of racism NOW. Whatever they were before is irrelevant to now.
She’s totally wrong about the reparations topic, regardless of who her ancestors were.
She should track down every descendant of every soul her own ancestors sold and give them all HER money. Start with self before expecting from others.
That's actually a really good idea. I'm sure she wouldn't do it though because she's the type of person who likes to stay in her victim mentality. Lol.
Thank you William Wilberforce for what you did !
Looks like someone has to pay reparations now. Congratulations, you're in the club.
200 years from now her ancestors will be very ashamed of her.
Did you mean Ancestors or descendants?
@@eetoved1758 😃 uno what I meant thx for the correction❤️
👍 got it. I was thinking ghosts... 😆@@bearmcdaniel6042
So, she thought she was Puerto Rican but wasn't able to imagine she might have ancestors from Spain? Where does she think the people that colonized Puerto Rico and killed all the natives came from? Out of space?
She knows her moral high ground has disappeared and she doesn't seem to know WHAT to do from here.
Love the look on ur face when ur watching the furst clip 😅😅priceless sats it all btw just started watching gd stuff so far
It's funny that they can say she can't help what her ancestors did but it isn't the same for everyone else.

one measure for thee, one measure for me....
I owe nothing. You want money? Then go to work. Sick of people with their hands out demanding. There has been a transfer of wealth already that makes my head spin.
I am dutch my great great great grandfather worked for the voc.
And im dang proud of it.
He is one of the guys who helped create the stock market 🎉🎉
The View host to Sunny’s left saying, “You can’t control it”
Yea exactly, no one alive can control dead ancestor’s being salve owners.
I wonder how much reparations Sunny owes to herself?
The only thing more shocking than Sunny's news is the fact that The Viewless is still on the air.
I am proud to say that I have never seen a single episode of The View, and I never will.
Lol
Number one talk show on the air! I know that must sting. Man I love the view!
*cue the Whoopie Goldberg fart*

What bugs me is that babies are still being thrown to the crocodile “gods” in Africa, yet nobody wants to talk about that.
