‘The View’ Host Sunny Hostin learns she is descended from Slaveowners

I know for a fact that my great grandparents were plantation/slave owners in the mid 1800s in Central Georgia. Judge me as you deem fit.
Same here. Mine go back to Virginia.
A couple of stories I have never told on this board.

During Sherman's march he came through the area where my family's plantation was located. He stopped and spent the night at the main house. On his way out the next morning, he set fire to the house and fields and stole or killed the livestock. Fortunately, there were potatoes planted so they had food until they were able to rebuild.

Second, in the early 80s, my father and I went up to close the last house on what remained of the plantation after my great aunt passed. She was still using much of the furniture from the 1800s. We found paperwork in a trunk that included original bills of sale for slaves. They were pieces of history.

Again, judge me as you deem fit.
 
The family was wealthy for the period. My grandfather was born after the Civil War and was the last of 14 children. That's a lot of slices of the pie to dole out.

While on the topic of the Civil War (news from 3 years ago but still very interesting):

Is “race hustlers” the trending label being used by all the non-hivemind, free thinkers (on the socials)?

How else would you describe some of the more racist divisive people in America like Al Sharpton and Ben Crump?

I guess we could just call them straight up racists but i think the point is to emphasize the divisive hateful nature of their rhetoric and the damage they are doing to society. Ergo race hustler.

Shocking that you left Nick Fuentes and Stephen Miller off your list.

Not really.

A lot of typing to avoid admitting you’re a parrot/lemming.

JFC OP is a moron.
Most black people in the US have a slave owner in their DNA because the slave owners raped the slaves.
It's about as shocking as when I found out my great great great great grandfather had 10 fingers and 10 toes.

Her 4th great grandfather had a slave. She has 32 4th great grandparents. She's ~1.6% related to someone who owned a slave.
It's interesting, but irrelevant. Most Americans probably have at least that much relation to a slave owner whether they're white black or brown. It's a common finding on the show.
Trying to besmirch her reputation for something nearly all Americans share is just more maga bullshit.






Hostin is just a loud-mouth beotch…regardless of her ancestry.
 
I think she’s an absolutely gorgeous woman and while I don’t agree with her political views she shouldn’t be embarrassed because of her heritage. She didn’t get a vote on her ancestry and in fact none of us do.
I love Skip Gates program on PBS, by the way.
She is pretty, but her rantings take much of that away.
