Sunny Hostin from THE VIEW talks Growing up Biracial, Black Woman VP, and her Book

[@bridgev6652]

I really love Sunny, she is so real and down to earth, and may I add beautiful and extremely smart too.

[@Danny-fs1hk]

A great interview with Sunny; she was spitting fire. It’s great to see her outside of The View. Thanks

[@fym90]

"People want to identify what you are, so they can decide how to treat you." This is so true! Love Sunny!

[@MrBrooklyn06]

In her book she says Ana was very mean to her when she first started till one day Ana heard Sunny speak Spanish to Jlo’s mother at the View which shocked Ana. She began to have a friendship with Sunny so it’s interesting to see Ana bring up Sunny teaching her about race.

[@veronicajohnson9344]

@@MrBrooklyn06 ... Ana had no time for her, because?

[@MrBrooklyn06]

@@veronicajohnson9344 no, because she was prejudice against Sunny. She didn’t like the fact Sunny was claiming to be Latina & assumed she couldn’t speak the language.

[@stacyjpoliticscommunityfai359]

Derrick, this interview was EXCELLENT! I've always been a Sunny Hostin fan, but I'm truly now an even more impressed and awed by her excellence and her wityness. I'm a former Beauty Pro, and veered into the Political, Film, and Community arena, and it's the Beauty industry is what connected me to the Politics, Film and Community volunteerism. This interview just proves how much the beauty industry and other arenas of life are always parallel. I just subscribed and I look forward to purchasing Sunny's Autobiography. Much love and success!

Thank you

[@WAKINUPwithDee]

Sunny is such an asset to “The View”. I need to read her book. This was a really great interview!

[@ingenueGi]

Yes! I've always felt this. Ilive in the Netherlands and as a black woman they always want to know where I am from because there are black people from African countries, South America and the Caribbean. If you're Black American or another wealthy country then they treat you better. People often do this: categorize you.

[@sheliamurray7897]

She is such a beautiful, intelligent and prolific woman. Great interview!

[@OSinghGyallll]

Thank you sunny for being so honest about the colorism in the Hispanic community. I moved to NYC 10 years ago and it's so interesting that NYC has so many Spanish speaking people of African descent but look down on other Caribbean and ppl from the African diaspora .especially Puerto Rican and Dominican ppl. They identify with their colonizers..."they are Spanish" but we are not considered "English". It never made sense to me. I was always confused bc I grew up in the south and didn't experience as much racism from white ppl than from Hispanics (both afro Latin , euro presenting or indigenous)now that I live in NYC. , although many look exactly like me. I'm also Caribbeanand and also biracial. You def help me find more understanding on this. Love you're transparency on everything.

[@AuthorLHollingsworth]

Those ideas were created by the colonizers that brought our African ancestors to the new world. Colorism is so sad across the board, but we Diaspora Africans are starting to wake up.

[@13579hee]

If I were you I would happily distance myself from them. Those people are full of anti blackness

[@EvaAnika]

You are exactly right. People identify with their colonisers and they're not even ashamed of it. Perhaps they were meant to be dominated since their minds are so weak.

[@smorris5638]

The most hurtful racism is within your own community.

[@AngelAngela]

I’m happy with this interview. She said everything CORRECT.

[@Mamdrmamdr]

This was such a strong interview, you can tell you gave her such comfort to tell her story, that's a great skill. When she spoke on the differences between the black and latino community that was SO important. A lot of times we feel like the black community is so split, and it's important to speak about the ways we are united, from someone who's experienced both. Thats not saying the black community doesn't have work to do with colorism etc...

[@awillis244]

‘Nope not United, expound please.

[@charlottewashington1756]

There's a LOT of colorism in the Black community. Light skin is still the most desired. However, all visibly black people experience racism to some degree - whether or not they want to acknowledge it.

[@nicolem2877]

Yes, love Sunni. Colorism was prob the reason she was more embraced by BC. And yet you’re right- our community has always welcomed everyone to the cookout, to our own detriment. We are the most empathetic ppl on earth!

BTW, what an appropriate name for her. She's really a ray of sunshine

[@TheSuperScifiShow]

I love it too. It's a nickname, though. Her real name begins with an "S" but I forgot what it is. It's a very Latin name that isn't common. A mentor encouraged her to go by "Sunny" so can get more/better jobs. It worked, but I remember she said that a big part of her regrets it and wouldn't encourage a young person to do that now.

[@momoiida5505]

Not latina enough? No, they really meant that Sunny didn't fit the DESIRED STEREOTYPE of a latina, i.e. they felt that she's too black. I understand that Sunny is bi-ethnic but, you wouldn't know it to look at her. I'm glad that she embraces all that she is.

[@trulyblessed5254]

Only the vain and prideful want ppl to fit their desired stereotype regardless of how they appear outwardly

[@trulyblessed5254]

@green hornet The main ingredient that will resolve hatred, hostility, resentment is to love your neighbors as yourselves. Chanting BLM and organizing movements isn’t helping the cause, all it’s doing is adding more fuel to the fire! Ppl that are indifferent towards their fellowman while harboring hatred and animosity in their hearts are battling their own demons. Ppl need to learn that not every battle is theirs to fight. The only way to show that your life matters is by knowing your rightful place in the world. Ppl can’t be forced to love, it has to be genuine.

[@Salsero12]

Disagree. She definitely looks Latina.

[@momoiida5505]

@@Salsero12 I never said that she didn't (whatever latina looks like, remember it not a race). I was speaking to the fact that companies didn't want to hire her because to them, she seemed too black and didn't fit the stereotype esthetic of "white" latina. She's a Afro-Latina and they didn't want that.

[@madreep]

I have learned to like her from this interview, and now I'm going to have to order her book. She definitely speaks to me and for me. So much of her story mirrors my own. It's incredibly difficult to grow up biracial. Especially when you're of the age when you had to pick one. The colorism.is real in the Hispanic community. I identify as Black because it was the race that was most influential in my life but it was also the race that was most accepting of me as a person. There are some who assume that I think I'm cute because I am light skinned, but overall it's the community who doesn't care. We come in all colors of the rainbow and I am always so comfortable because we speak the same language. Not a spoken language but the language of our hearts is the same.
