Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly tore into “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin during her program on Tuesday after she revealed on the program that her ancestors were slave owners, yet she still firmly believes she should be paid reparations. Clearly, Hostin has some sort of entitlement mindset that allows her to think there is no disconnect between these two things. Thankfully, Kelly mercilessly mocked her for it all, providing a voice and a platform who were thinking what she was thinking, but had no way of letting it all out.
Kelly, on the program, noted that Hostin said she was “so disappointed” when she found out her ancestors owned slaves. Of course she’s disappointed. Now she can’t virtue signal and demand free money from everyone else simply because of the color of her skin.
“The shame of coming from a white person, the horror! Who could talk like this?” Kelly asked the viewing and listening audience. “Can you imagine if I went on with Henry Lewis Gates and he told me that I have black members of my family and I was like, ‘I’m deeply disappointed and ashamed.’ Can you imagine the reaction?”
“How dare she talk about white people like that,” Kelly stated. “She gets away with it.”
Here’s more from the Daily Caller’s latest report:
Kelly mentioned that Hostin said she “always suspected” she had white ancestors due to the “blond hair and light eyes” of her mother. The conservative radio host explained that Hostin was hesitant to take a genetic test because she “sort of knew” she had white ancestors “inside” because of her mother’s appearance.
“She identified herself as black race but Hispanic for ethnicity, but it turns out her race is white,” Kelly said about Hostin’s mother. “She’s European. So she was a poser. She was a Rachel Dolezal is what you’re saying.”
Hostin recently sat down with “Finding Your Roots” host Henry Lewis Gates, who informed her that her maternal ancestors were probable slaveowners. Gates told Hostin that her third great-grandfather was “the son of a merchant who was likely involved in the slave trade,” People reported.
“I’m sure Sunny Hostin is just fine with anybody out there who wants to identify as black in their application to Harvard, which by the way is where her son goes,” Kelly pointed out. “And she lives in a multimillion estate. We have the pictures here from a magazine shoot she did not long ago. And she makes millions of dollars on ‘The View,’ but she still wants your reparations.”
Clearly, Hostin is not hard up for cash. Nor does she care about equality, contrary to her claims. She is essentially a racist against white folk, which is ironic given how much of her genetic make up is Caucasian. This is a virtue signal and nothing more. Hostin, like many in the liberal media, wants to cash in on the amount of melanin she has in her skin, rather than on her talent. It’s sad, yes, but that doesn’t make it any less true. People like Hostin tend to boil themselves down to their racial identity rather than who they are as individuals.
Let’s hope that is a mentality that dies out.
