I respect Coleman Hughes. One of the things that bugs me about Sunny is how she thinks she speaks for ALL black people and how if you're a black person who does not think exactly like her, you are a traitor or an Uncle Tom or whatever. While this is an on going battle that takes all of us to get through together, where I draw the line is when Sunny starts talking as if she knows every black person in this country. I'm a black man, I don't need Sunny to speak for me. I can take care of and speak up for myself. I appreciate Sunny for continuing to call out injustices to our people when that happens. However, Sunny has a problem and that is believing that she is speaking on behalf of all black people. As a black man, while I believe there are some ideas and values that all black people must keep, I also believe that you cannot enforce that feeling down someone's throat.

I think you’re projecting a lot onto Sunny. She never said that she speaks for all Black people. In fact, she has said that she is speaking for herself, and it is her opinion. She has every right to have her own opinion, just as you have every right to have your own opinion. The only differences, she happens to have this platform where she’s speaking on national television. And you do not. But that doesn’t mean that she is speaking for all Black people.

Exactly. And what you just said has been proven in practice and in policy that it works. While we can all see how affirmative action and DEI do not work out in favor of removing racial divides or dispelling racial disparities, but on the contrary they promote and exacerbate racial divides and further expand racial inequalities.

I don't really get why Sunny Hostin thought it it was necessary to name drop MLK's daughter Bernice's name. Other than to attempt to speak from a superior moral position. Bernice was barely 5 years old when her father was assassinated. Its not like she would have better incite into her father's thinking that she shared with Sunny. My understanding is that Dr. King was an open book about who he was and what he thought.

I'm a bit taken aback at Whoopi's statement about how things were "when we went to school". This would have been exactly when I went to school in NYC. in the 1960's and 70's. This was also the time of the Black Arts Movement which highlighted some of the most powerful black voices of the time. People like Amiri Baraka, Ntozake Shange , James Baldwin, Nikki Giovanni, Sonia Sanchez, Audre Lorde, Gil Scot Herron, and many more, all of which I was introduced to in HIGH SCHOOL ,junior and senior grades! NYC schools at that time, were filled with young progressive teachers who wanted to expose kids in areas like the South Bronx where I went to school, to more black writers. The idea was to widen the narrow Euro-western classics track, and in turn present stories written by writers who presented a similar cultural experience. Not that the classics were not relatable. These were kids living in areas that are now referred to as "underserved" , or the Ghettos of America. Coleman is a brilliant young man, and I agree 100% that it is time to move forward away from making color the central focus of our lives.
