“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
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.
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!
When that other lady tells her that it’s “not her fault” that she has slaveholder ancestors, I got so mad. If it’s not HER fault, why is it everyone else’s?
@@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.
Guess who sold white folks the slaves. Ya, black people sold eachother off and did it for centuries. White folks were just some of the most recent customers. The absurdity to try and put slavery solely on white folks is just insane.

@@YardDogBoxing 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!
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.

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
William Ellis was a freed slave, who then became a slave owner. He owned about 60 slaves and he became an extremely rich slave owner. This just goes to show how even former slaves, had no qualms against slavery.
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.
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.
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
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?
@@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 .🤣
Omg I can't believe she said that she thought she was half Puerto Rican and didn't know that her ancestors were slave owners. Well DUUHH! We Puerto Ricans are a mix of spaniards, indegenous (taino) and african. We typically don't blame our ancestors for what they did but we do embrace the good things they added to our culture such as food, music, language, etc. That's what everybody should be doing instead of blaming people for what their ancestors did based off of skin color.
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.
The same thing happened on the British version of the show. Various black celebrities found out that their ancestors were slaveholders. They were not happy.
It happend with one in the Netherlands too. He also said drinking wine with pizza in a restaurant was a white privilege. White people could just go out, and he had to go to an interview to complain about colonialism and racism. I just wished he would go out and have a wine with pizza. He's got the money for it. Then everyone is happy.
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.
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
@jenniferkatatumba8597 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?
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
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.
@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
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.
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.
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.”
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.

@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.

Specially brazil that today is economically richer than Britain and more soverign but their social conditions and inequalities are horrible
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 doesn't have a choice about remaining consistent in her views. People would rightly scream hypocrisy if she didn't. She is a hypocrite but her hypocrisy is more subtle than that. She says (twice) that she's 'enriched' by knowing about her family's slave owning history but fails to acknowledge that her slave owning family members were LITERALLY enriched by slavery (oh the irony!). She also says she's gratified to see how far her family has come from the bad old days. If she applies that justification to herself, she is obliged to apply it to everyone. She's very smug but not very clever, even if she can use big words to make a sentence sound intelligent. She is embarrassed, ashamed and humiliated and doesn't have anywhere to hide. Perhaps she needs to just stop, think ... and learn the oh-so-obvious lesson.
If you believe you are a "victim", there is not enough money to change the mindset. The best "payout" is to stop thinking you are a victim, esp when this happened 200 years ago.
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!
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.
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.
yes look at st patrick promising young welsh tallant. stollen from his home drag across the sea to be enslaved in gloomy rain sodden ireland. there's just no justice in the world... sorry shit i take it back.....Slaves, however, were a highly valued commodity and Patrick mentions that his family owned slaves, which was common for
@MB-sd9oz And that's the point....ALL races and cultures have been involved in slavery, and it is nonsense to claim blacks the only ones and seeing them as only slaves when, in fact, they were also owners, even in Africa.
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?
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 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
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”

Many of the people taken from Africa and placed into slavery, which was and is abhorrent, were sold into slavery by black Africans. Yes, that's right, some black people were profiteering from selling people into slavery they captured and imprisoned themselves. Moira Stewart, an awesome news reporter in the UK, found out that a distant ancestor of hers made money from selling people into slavery from Africa.

GOOD comment. I can guarantee you hostin's has more more money in the bank and a much nicer house than you. So why was she ever looking for reparations? She is a professional race grifter who has done well on that bandwagon
Germany did/does give some kind of direct reparations, but to those they directly wronged- not like, infinite generations afterwards. They also offer citizenship to the descendants of Jews they expelled. So TBH I think token gestures that are clear and direct are meaningful, or things like certain kinds of funding for services for native people in America/Canada/Australia, etc. But that isn't "money, please", nor should it be, and a lot along these lines have already been done for black Americans. Also, as stated, Germany has *absolutely* come to terms with their legacy, which helps a lot.
Tell me what has America done remotely close to what Germany has done to atone for the Holocaust? In Germany they teach about the Holocaust. In America they do not teach about the horrors of enslavement. They tell us George Washington had wooden teeth. Lies, George Washington's dentist wrote his false teeth were "yanked" from his slaves.

I'm a genealogist and very familiar with my ancestry going back to the 1700s in most cases; I'm descended from Pennsylvania farmers, coal miners, and railroaders. No slave owners for sure. I watched the episode before it became a topic of discussion; Ms. Hostin's ancestors were slave owners in Spain who migrated to Puerto Rico, bringing their slaves, because Spain was outlawing the practice. Should she feel guilty? No. And neither do I even though she would have me do so because I'm...light complected.
Any person with even a whiff of common sense will realize that none of us are responsible for the actions of our ancestors whether those actions can be considered " good" or " bad. "

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.
Amala, I want to say well said on your commentary. I did also learn quite a bit about my family history, by information passed down and research completed by my great Uncles. They visited the churches and graveyards of many past relatives and studied where they lived and moved to. I also did plenty of my own research online as well as visiting courthouses and other places to find out tidbits of information about my past relatives. I actually was able to meet older people who actually knew some of my relatives when they were younger and filled me in on what kind of people they were. It was all quite fascinating to me. Some had beaches named after them, some were very poor and others were wealthy. I learned that my father's earliest ancestor came here with his wife from the Netherlands about 40 years after the Pilgrim's first landed. They had 3 sons that survived to adulthood that we can document. The youngest son moved on and was lost. They never heard of him after. The middle son was said to have moved to Missouri area and married an Indian woman. The oldest son, of whom I came down from, stayed with his family and clan and went on to have 8 children. One of those sons married and had countless children. I am still finding out how many online as no one knew exactly but other people who were in the family had piece by piece added the info they had and it all began to unravel online. Photographs helped to verify. Some had photos of members young and some had photos of them older, but you could tell each had some part of the family legacy to put together as whole. I strongly encourage people to use the internet if they are interested in finding out info. It takes a bit of time and some work, but through the other agencies out there to help you it can be a very interesting road to travel. I found relatives throughout the United States that were related to me in some way. My great grandfather was one of the myriad of children in that last relation and he married the daughter of German immigrants. They had seven boys and my grandfather was the youngest. He married the daughter of English immigrants, my paternal grandmother. Her older sister had already married his older brother, so double cousins there so to speak. My grandmother was one of 14 children. 7 boys and 7 girls her mother had and they all lived. They had seven children come over on the boat with them and then farmed and had seven more here in America of which one was my grandmother. So, my father had a Dutch surname, but actually until his mother the family was mainly made up of Dutch/German ancestry. His mother brought in some English blood. My father married and had six children with my mother. My mother was Native American, Irish through her father and English. My mother's grandmother was full blood Ojibwe Indian from Michigan's upper region. Her husband was an Englishman from Canada. We found a copy of their marriage license. It stated that she was a Squaw from the Ojibwe tribe In the Soo area. Like my paternal great grandmother my maternal great grandmother also birthed 14 children. 7 boys and 7 girls in which all lived. They made their home on Drummond Island. That is near Mackinaw Island, MI. This was all back around the 1880's when they married. My maternal grandmother was one of the 14 kids. She married my maternal grandfather whose parents immigrated from Ireland in the 1890's. He was born in America. They had seven children together of which my mother was one. What I was able to learn was invaluable to me and my family. Basically, my father's ancestry has been in this country longer than my mother's. However, from him I gain Dutch/German flavoring with a dash of English thrown in. From my mother it would have flavored me with some Native American and Irish. I thought this kind of neat, also a bit of English thrown in on this side as well. My eldest brother married a German girl, my other brother passed in childhood. My two eldest sisters married German guys and my youngest sister married a Polish man. I never learned of my wife's ancestry, but my second relationship she was Danish. Now moving on to all our kids 3 have married Mexican bringing in some added spice. LOL Not sure what the ancestry of the others who are married, but we definitely continue the melting pot here in America. My apologies for spewing out my family history here, but I just wanted people to think of their family legacies and what they want to leave for the next generation to learn about them one day. The farther out we get the info is much easier to gather than from centuries ago. There was nowhere in my family line any slave owners or people living on plantations. I guess that was my main thought when I originally wanted to comment. Yet, people like Sunny always want to blame me for the ills of the past. To me the thought of owning someone, other than your children for a time, seems horrible. As you pointed out Amala, many of us did not grow up in that time. Maybe I would have been one of the people helping the slaves somehow. What research I have uncovered is that the overwhelming majority of white Americans did not own slaves or have plantations. They were simple people coming here for the hope of freedom and a better life. It was the wealthy people of the time who could afford that kind of thing. The masses were too poor and starving let alone how to afford a slave. You survived by hard work. Most were farmers. I think it is ridiculous to blame future generations for what past mistakes former generations have done. Should we had all of America back to the Native American tribes and tell the rest to get out, now! Should Spain have to give all of South and Central America reparations for killing off so many of the people they overtook. Does Rome have to pay all the countries that were in their realm through wars and conquering reparations. History happens. Hopefully, we learn from it and do not repeat the bad stuff. You move on together and fight to keep making things better for all. Just go down the centuries and ask yourself, particularly if your a woman; "what century would I have faired best in." Women have suffered terrible down through the years. More than half died in childbirth when the country was expanding. We have come a long way, but the main thing is we did it together. Maybe not hands unified , but every group of people made a difference somehow. There is one Bible verse that used to scare me. It was in Genesis, about the time they were building the tower of babel. It states, God said, "Let us go down upon the earth and see what the children of men are up to." Upon seeing their efforts to build a tower to God in the heavens he then stated. The People are one. They all speak with one language. This is what they propose to do. To make themselves on level with God. Therefore, let us confound their speech and scatter them abroad upon the face of the earth lest by working as one there will be no stopping what they can achieve together! Then he did just that. We may be scattered, but when we work with one another look at the things we have been able to do. Look at where our ingenuity and the brains God gave us have brought us to. We have been to the moon. Science is exploding at an astronomical pace from the computers we built. Powerful words from the book of the Lord. Also, a warning. He can step in at anytime and stop us from going further. Throughout the Old Testament there were many warnings of God being a jealous God and not wanting us to forget him. Most of us do until we need him for something. Anyhow, stop preaching, I know. I just feel as race of people on this planet we all are better off working together to fight the evils that persist continually in our world. Were all humans.
As a blonde English woman who stems from very poor farming ancestors who were enslaved by the Govt, watching this makes me happy to see that this women had Spanish slaver ancestors especially after the whole BLM movement in America and how some Americans pretend that it was ONLY ALL white English, French and Dutch who were slavers and that POC includes people from Sth America LOLZ.. The average citizens of Britain and Europe were ALL very poor farmers who were taxed heavily and died in poverty.
@@Edge-of-ReasonBLM as a movement and a message stands. If you look into the actual organization, y'all been scammed. Your 'leaders' buy mansions in gated communities, with all the mayonnaise monkeys who opressed them in the first place.
And throughout history Africans enslaved other Africans, Asians enslaved other Asians and Europeans enslaved other Europeans, etc. Sad but true. If you go back 9 generations you have over 500 ancestors so you cannot expect none of them ever did anything bad.
Have you forgotten England conquered many countries and subjected the peoples to centuries of all forms of tyranny, slavery, starvation, drug addiction and land theft? Even the poor of England migrated in their millions to these countries to occupy the stolen lands of the murdered natives.
They would say.. Nice try, you're white. That's what's great when you're allowed to make up the rules. There was a girl on a video I was watching saying that you can't be racist against white people or sexist against men.. Funnily enough, she was an Asian girl, so not white or a man. This gay guy who is often on piers Morgan's show was yelling at piers saying piers is not allowed to insult people because he's not a minority... Right after he said to most crass insult to Piers.. Funny how the rules allow him to insult white people but those people aren't allowed to insult him or anyone back.
Yes she can directly pay reparations based on the advantage and privilege her generational wealth had provided her. All built on the backs of slaves. She should lead the way and put her money where her big mouth is.
I see what you're saying and what amala is saying but that's not how it works.. Instead the logic they use is.. Some white people had slaves, therefore all white people have this generational guilt. Your parents immigrated after WW2, from Europe? Guilty..
Reparations were handed out after the civil war. Southern plantations were broken up by the occupying Union Army and given to the slaves. Land and wealth was redistributed.
When Britain ended slavery with their abolition act they used 40% of the national treasury to do it. They borrowed so much money to end slavery that it was actually only fully paid back in 2014. This amazes me because what it means is that everyone born in the UK and working in the UK for the past nearly 200 years has helped to contribute to the end of slavery by paying back that money through their taxes
@@jacwarner2324 why would it cost the governmment anything to make slavery illegal? They in fact purchased the slaves rather th as n just outlawing the practice. And it wasnt until 1917 that they ended indentured servitude a form of slavery.
@@pamelakoretsky9909 the UK taxpayer paid slaveholder families to stop slave trading and purchasing. So they were paid for their financial losses and future financial losses.
@@pamelakoretsky9909 It cost the lives of 2000+ British sailors fighting the slavers on the high seas. Perhaps their descendants should get reparations.
@@wendesmith6240 nobody should get reparations. And they shouldnt have essentially bought the slaves from those who owned them. Or should we pay sex traffickers for their sex slaves? How about drug dealers....its illegal to sell heroine now so we will buy all your drugs so you wont be financially harmed. I could see converting slaves to indentured servitude with holder responsibility to getvthem ready for complete freedom ... learning to read and write and basic law/rights snd a path to citizenship. That also hives holders time to adjust to a new economy. And the freed slaves are suppotted as they move into freedom and self reliance.
This is absurd. I know for a fact that one of my ancestors killed someone and,in attempt to avoid justice,he fled and changed his last name. Should I and half of those related to me feel guilty or held accountable for what our ancestor did centuries ago?
This is one of my favorite things, people finding out they're descended from slave owners. People finding out they're Spanish from Spain, being white and not native. Love that too, so much.
Funny I heard that they did background checks on all the former presidents and all had slave owners in their background except one ….. Donald J Trump …..
@@boxtradums0073Indeed. Perhaps those of white Spanish descent should demand reparations from those of African descent! At least from any who have Moorish ancestry. 😂
@@cmay7429 yes exactly right 🤣. Another hilarious historical fact for you is the first known interaction between Celt and Subsaharan African was actually in Britain where the remains of an African born Roman soldier was found next to Hadrian’s wall (a Roman built wall to keep who are now Scottish people out) an oppressive occupying army. Also the Barbary Slave trade affected Britain long before Britain engaged in the transatlantic slave trade. We didn’t start it 🤣🤣🤣
Damn near most if not ALL black people have the DNA of a colonizer/slave owner in their blood because they raped our ancestors. So that's not really a good argument.
A phrase that is often used, without any understanding of the context in which it was being said. As in the way here you speak as if Jesus was speaking out against being judgemental , which is completely FALSE and is forced to ignore EVERY TIME Jesus spoke out against wickedness…. The context in which the ONLY time that Jesus used this line was when a prostitute was being stoned to death by the town fathers WITHOUT ALSO identifying with whom she lay with. Why? Because of the mob of males preparing to stone her to death , to a man every one of them was one of her lovers and they were trying to silence her before she could identify them to their wives , AND THIER WIVES fathers ….. thats where the “he who is without sin “ comes from
How do you calculate how each person benefitted from it as well? In Scotland where I’m from - a country that did benefit from the plantations - well some more than others. But who actually benefited ? My ancestors were weavers mainly - did the slave trade have a trickle down effect and provide jobs in Glasgow and Edinburgh? Surely did, but my family were peasants - they didn’t own much and certainly not slaves. The point I’m making is that trying to work out who benefitted and didn’t benefit from slavery is far too complicated. Reparations chat should be buried for good
Everyone who has ever done something bad or horrific, had relatives. Parents, siblings and children. Their relatives should not have to suffer the consequences of that person’s actions.
My step daughter said I needed to pay retributions for something I had nothing to do with. I told her to pay for me since she cares and I don't. She walked away.
Well, start with the birthday presents you would have given to her, except these are going to pay for reparations. Next, her college education, etc. This will please her greatly, and she will love you.😄

She went on the white guilt crap of feeling guilty and whatnot that it was her and not them getting a Masters degree.

Shes clearly unhappy and they wouldnt say no. Never talked to me about white guilt shit again.
1619 was the beginning of the end of slavery. in just 200 years was being abolished in Britain and america but had visible remnants left in such as U.S south and Brazil
Slavery and Prisoners weren't about color and race. It was tribes and different civilizations wanting more resources, and the labour force is also a resource that is deemed a necessity
@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.
Tell that to the aboriginal people of Australia that “demand” a welcome to country They forget that the white man gave them longevity of life and all the good stuff but they chose to be drunks and drug addicts and violent criminals
I think they belive this because black americans have the highest amounts of christians in the whole world and christians belive in generational sin. So if anyone in your family, say 500 years ago, did a bad thing. You are still guilty of that sin

I'm Native American. I know as a fact my tribe was EXCEPTIONALLY brutal towards settlers. I don't feel guilt from this. Sonny has no reason not to be the same. It is what it is: we're all human.
I always feel a bit of pride when I see another native having a sensible healthy opinion like this. It feels like in a general sense native Americans have a healthy and honest view of the past and what happened to us. We're all the same, when people think they can take what you have and get away with it they will, the justifications they create are always secondary to that fact, before the whites came we were fighting each other and some of us even used the whites to make territorial gains of our own when the opportunity presented itself. The moment people start thinking they're not capable of evil is the moment they're most susceptible to it.
I have an ancestor that fought for the Union to free slaves. Shouldn't this fact keep my tax money from going to reparations'. Shouldn't all the ancestors of Union soldiers be absolved from paying reparations?
Oh NOW it’s a “fact of life” 😂 As a Scottish person whose ancestors faced centuries of oppression from our neighbours in England who we live in peace and harmony with - I find ancestral guilt and reparations utterly ridiculous.
“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 .
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!

Black people owned slaves too. Even here in America. Talk is cheap, facts are gold.
@@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
Guess who sold white folks the slaves. Ya, black people sold eachother off and did it for centuries. White folks were just some of the most recent customers.
The absurdity to try and put slavery solely on white folks is just insane.

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
William Ellis was a freed slave, who then became a slave owner. He owned about 60 slaves and he became an extremely rich slave owner. This just goes to show how even former slaves, had no qualms against slavery.

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.

We Puerto Ricans are a mix of spaniards, indegenous (taino) and african. We typically don't blame our ancestors for what they did but we do embrace the good things they added to our culture such as food, music, language, etc. That's what everybody should be doing instead of blaming people for what their ancestors did based off of skin color.
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.

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

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.

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.

She doesn't have a choice about remaining consistent in her views. People would rightly scream hypocrisy if she didn't. She is a hypocrite but her hypocrisy is more subtle than that. She says (twice) that she's 'enriched' by knowing about her family's slave owning history but fails to acknowledge that her slave owning family members were LITERALLY enriched by slavery (oh the irony!). She also says she's gratified to see how far her family has come from the bad old days. If she applies that justification to herself, she is obliged to apply it to everyone. She's very smug but not very clever, even if she can use big words to make a sentence sound intelligent. She is embarrassed, ashamed and humiliated and doesn't have anywhere to hide. Perhaps she needs to just stop, think ... and learn the oh-so-obvious lesson.

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?
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.
You are absolutely right. A very intelligent woman that seeks logic over stupidity. Keep enlightening those that will listen to fact over fiction.
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

@@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.
Many of the people taken from Africa and placed into slavery, which was and is abhorrent, were sold into slavery by black Africans.
Yes, that's right, some black people were profiteering from selling people into slavery they captured and imprisoned themselves.

GOOD comment. I can guarantee you hostin's has more more money in the bank and a much nicer house than you. So why was she ever looking for reparations? She is a professional race grifter who has done well on that bandwagon
Germany did/does give some kind of direct reparations, but to those they directly wronged- not like, infinite generations afterwards. They also offer citizenship to the descendants of Jews they expelled. So TBH I think token gestures that are clear and direct are meaningful, or things like certain kinds of funding for services for native people in America/Canada/Australia, etc. But that isn't "money, please", nor should it be, and a lot along these lines have already been done for black Americans.
Also, as stated, Germany has *absolutely* come to terms with their legacy, which helps a lot.
Tell me what has America done remotely close to what Germany has done to atone for the Holocaust? In Germany they teach about the Holocaust. In America they do not teach about the horrors of enslavement. They tell us George Washington had wooden teeth. Lies, George Washington's dentist wrote his false teeth were "yanked" from his slaves.

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…
I'm a genealogist and very familiar with my ancestry going back to the 1700s in most cases; I'm descended from Pennsylvania farmers, coal miners, and railroaders. No slave owners for sure. I watched the episode before it became a topic of discussion; Ms. Hostin's ancestors were slave owners in Spain who migrated to Puerto Rico, bringing their slaves, because Spain was outlawing the practice. Should she feel guilty? No. And neither do I even though she would have me do so because I'm...light complected.
Any person with even a whiff of common sense will realize that none of us are responsible for the actions of our ancestors whether those actions can be considered " good" or " bad. "
The thing is... she blames others for what their ancestors did... why she should be treated differently?
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.

And the Republican party most definitely did switch to become the party of racism NOW. Whatever they were before is irrelevant to now.

They visited the churches and graveyards of many past relatives and studied where they lived and moved to. I also did plenty of my own research online as well as visiting courthouses and other places to find out tidbits of information about my past relatives. I actually was able to meet older people who actually knew some of my relatives when they were younger and filled me in on what kind of people they were. It was all quite fascinating to me. Some had beaches named after them, some were very poor and others were wealthy.
I learned that my father's earliest ancestor came here with his wife from the Netherlands about 40 years after the Pilgrim's first landed. They had 3 sons that survived to adulthood that we can document. The youngest son moved on and was lost. They never heard of him after. The middle son was said to have moved to Missouri area and married an Indian woman. The oldest son, of whom I came down from, stayed with his family and clan and went on to have 8 children. One of those sons married and had countless children. I am still finding out how many online as no one knew exactly but other people who were in the family had piece by piece added the info they had and it all began to unravel online. Photographs helped to verify. Some had photos of members young and some had photos of them older, but you could tell each had some part of the family legacy to put together as whole.
I strongly encourage people to use the internet if they are interested in finding out info. It takes a bit of time and some work, but through the other agencies out there to help you it can be a very interesting road to travel. I found relatives throughout the United States that were related to me in some way. My great grandfather was one of the myriad of children in that last relation and he married the daughter of German immigrants. They had seven boys and my grandfather was the youngest. He married the daughter of English immigrants, my paternal grandmother. Her older sister had already married his older brother, so double cousins there so to speak. My grandmother was one of 14 children. 7 boys and 7 girls her mother had and they all lived. They had seven children come over on the boat with them and then farmed and had seven more here in America of which one was my grandmother.
So, my father had a Dutch surname, but actually until his mother the family was mainly made up of Dutch/German ancestry. His mother brought in some English blood. My father married and had six children with my mother. My mother was Native American, Irish through her father and English.
My mother's grandmother was full blood Ojibwe Indian from Michigan's upper region. Her husband was an Englishman from Canada. We found a copy of their marriage license. It stated that she was a Squaw from the Ojibwe tribe In the Soo area. Like my paternal great grandmother my maternal great grandmother also birthed 14 children. 7 boys and 7 girls in which all lived. They made their home on Drummond Island. That is near Mackinaw Island, MI. This was all back around the 1880's when they married. My maternal grandmother was one of the 14 kids. She married my maternal grandfather whose parents immigrated from Ireland in the 1890's. He was born in America. They had seven children together of which my mother was one.
What I was able to learn was invaluable to me and my family. Basically, my father's ancestry has been in this country longer than my mother's. However, from him I gain Dutch/German flavoring with a dash of English thrown in. From my mother it would have flavored me with some Native American and Irish. I thought this kind of neat, also a bit of English thrown in on this side as well. My eldest brother married a German girl, my other brother passed in childhood. My two eldest sisters married German guys and my youngest sister married a Polish man. I never learned of my wife's ancestry, but my second relationship she was Danish. Now moving on to all our kids 3 have married Mexican bringing in some added spice. LOL Not sure what the ancestry of the others who are married, but we definitely continue the melting pot here in America.
My apologies for spewing out my family history here, but I just wanted people to think of their family legacies and what they want to leave for the next generation to learn about them one day. The farther out we get the info is much easier to gather than from centuries ago.
There was nowhere in my family line any slave owners or people living on plantations. I guess that was my main thought when I originally wanted to comment. Yet, people like Sunny always want to blame me for the ills of the past. To me the thought of owning someone, other than your children for a time, seems horrible. As you pointed out Amala, many of us did not grow up in that time. Maybe I would have been one of the people helping the slaves somehow. What research I have uncovered is that the overwhelming majority of white Americans did not own slaves or have plantations. They were simple people coming here for the hope of freedom and a better life. It was the wealthy people of the time who could afford that kind of thing. The masses were too poor and starving let alone how to afford a slave. You survived by hard work. Most were farmers.
I think it is ridiculous to blame future generations for what past mistakes former generations have done. Should we had all of America back to the Native American tribes and tell the rest to get out, now! Should Spain have to give all of South and Central America reparations for killing off so many of the people they overtook. Does Rome have to pay all the countries that were in their realm through wars and conquering reparations.
History happens. Hopefully, we learn from it and do not repeat the bad stuff. You move on together and fight to keep making things better for all. Just go down the centuries and ask yourself, particularly if your a woman; "what century would I have faired best in." Women have suffered terrible down through the years. More than half died in childbirth when the country was expanding. We have come a long way, but the main thing is we did it together. Maybe not hands unified , but every group of people made a difference somehow. There is one Bible verse that used to scare me. It was in Genesis, about the time they were building the tower of babel. It states, God said, "Let us go down upon the earth and see what the children of men are up to." Upon seeing their efforts to build a tower to God in the heavens he then stated. The People are one. They all speak with one language. This is what they propose to do. To make themselves on level with God. Therefore, let us confound their speech and scatter them abroad upon the face of the earth lest by working as one there will be no stopping what they can achieve together! Then he did just that. We may be scattered, but when we work with one another look at the things we have been able to do. Look at where our ingenuity and the brains God gave us have brought us to. We have been to the moon. Science is exploding at an astronomical pace from the computers we built.
Powerful words from the book of the Lord. Also, a warning. He can step in at anytime and stop us from going further. Throughout the Old Testament there were many warnings of God being a jealous God and not wanting us to forget him. Most of us do until we need him for something. Anyhow, stop preaching, I know. I just feel as race of people on this planet we all are better off working together to fight the evils that persist continually in our world. Were all humans.
As a blonde English woman who stems from very poor farming ancestors who were enslaved by the Govt, watching this makes me happy to see that this women had Spanish slaver ancestors especially after the whole BLM movement in America and how some Americans pretend that it was ONLY ALL white English, French and Dutch who were slavers and that POC includes people from Sth America LOLZ.. The average citizens of Britain and Europe were ALL very poor farmers who were taxed heavily and died in poverty.
@@Edge-of-ReasonBLM as a movement and a message stands. If you look into the actual organization, y'all been scammed. Your 'leaders' buy mansions in gated communities, with all the mayonnaise monkeys who opressed them in the first place.
And throughout history Africans enslaved other Africans, Asians enslaved other Asians and Europeans enslaved other Europeans, etc. Sad but true. If you go back 9 generations you have over 500 ancestors so you cannot expect none of them ever did anything bad.
Have you forgotten England conquered many countries and subjected the peoples to centuries of all forms of tyranny, slavery, starvation, drug addiction and land theft?
Even the poor of England migrated in their millions to these countries to occupy the stolen lands of the murdered natives.
They would say.. Nice try, you're white. That's what's great when you're allowed to make up the rules. There was a girl on a video I was watching saying that you can't be racist against white people or sexist against men.. Funnily enough, she was an Asian girl, so not white or a man. This gay guy who is often on piers Morgan's show was yelling at piers saying piers is not allowed to insult people because he's not a minority... Right after he said to most crass insult to Piers.. Funny how the rules allow him to insult white people but those people aren't allowed to insult him or anyone back.
although I'm french my ancestors were italian (fahter's father) and german (mother) so I should be safe ... oh wait ^ç^
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*
Show should be called- The Irattional View
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....
Too many people connect to the actions of those who came before them - none of that had anything to do with you. Focus on you!
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.
Yes she can directly pay reparations based on the advantage and privilege her generational wealth had provided her. All built on the backs of slaves. She should lead the way and put her money where her big mouth is.
I’m 2% black, this lady owes me money!!!
Should children to serial killers be responsible for what their father/mother have done as well then?
I see what you're saying and what amala is saying but that's not how it works.. Instead the logic they use is.. Some white people had slaves, therefore all white people have this generational guilt. Your parents immigrated after WW2, from Europe? Guilty..
Reparations were handed out after the civil war. Southern plantations were broken up by the occupying Union Army and given to the slaves. Land and wealth was redistributed.
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
When Britain ended slavery with their abolition act they used 40% of the national treasury to do it. They borrowed so much money to end slavery that it was actually only fully paid back in 2014. This amazes me because what it means is that everyone born in the UK and working in the UK for the past nearly 200 years has helped to contribute to the end of slavery by paying back that money through their taxes
@@jacwarner2324 why would it cost the governmment anything to make slavery illegal? They in fact purchased the slaves rather th as n just outlawing the practice. And it wasnt until 1917 that they ended indentured servitude a form of slavery.
@@pamelakoretsky9909 the UK taxpayer paid slaveholder families to stop slave trading and purchasing. So they were paid for their financial losses and future financial losses.
@@pamelakoretsky9909 It cost the lives of 2000+ British sailors fighting the slavers on the high seas. Perhaps their descendants should get reparations.
@@wendesmith6240 nobody should get reparations. And they shouldnt have essentially bought the slaves from those who owned them. Or should we pay sex traffickers for their sex slaves? How about drug dealers....its illegal to sell heroine now so we will buy all your drugs so you wont be financially harmed. I could see converting slaves to indentured servitude with holder responsibility to getvthem ready for complete freedom ... learning to read and write and basic law/rights snd a path to citizenship. That also hives holders time to adjust to a new economy. And the freed slaves are suppotted as they move into freedom and self reliance.
@@pamelakoretsky9909Seriously shut up.
This is absurd. I know for a fact that one of my ancestors killed someone and,in attempt to avoid justice,he fled and changed his last name. Should I and half of those related to me feel guilty or held accountable for what our ancestor did centuries ago?
I absolutely love your take on this.
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.
This is one of my favorite things, people finding out they're descended from slave owners. People finding out they're Spanish from Spain, being white and not native. Love that too, so much.
Funny I heard that they did background checks on all the former presidents and all had slave owners in their background except one …..
Donald J Trump …..
It’s debatable how W the Spanish are when you consider they were colonised for 450 years from people from Africa 🤣
@@boxtradums0073Indeed. Perhaps those of white Spanish descent should demand reparations from those of African descent! At least from any who have Moorish ancestry. 😂
@@cmay7429 yes exactly right 🤣.
Another hilarious historical fact for you is the first known interaction between Celt and Subsaharan African was actually in Britain where the remains of an African born Roman soldier was found next to Hadrian’s wall (a Roman built wall to keep who are now Scottish people out) an oppressive occupying army. Also the Barbary Slave trade affected Britain long before Britain engaged in the transatlantic slave trade. We didn’t start it 🤣🤣🤣
Damn near most if not ALL black people have the DNA of a colonizer/slave owner in their blood because they raped our ancestors. So that's not really a good argument.
Here's how I see it. I'm not a religious man but the quote "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Comes to mind.
There is still slavery, and real oppression all over the world TODAY, and these people are silent.
By fundamentalist logic you can kill everyone on the planet because you were given free will. And on top of that, it´s not an unforgivable sin.
A phrase that is often used, without any understanding of the context in which it was being said.
As in the way here you speak as if Jesus was speaking out against being judgemental , which is completely FALSE and is forced to ignore EVERY TIME Jesus spoke out against wickedness….
The context in which the ONLY time that Jesus used this line was when a prostitute was being stoned to death by the town fathers WITHOUT ALSO identifying with whom she lay with. Why? Because of the mob of males preparing to stone her to death , to a man every one of them was one of her lovers and they were trying to silence her before she could identify them to their wives , AND THIER WIVES fathers ….. thats where the “he who is without sin “ comes from
How do you calculate how each person benefitted from it as well? In Scotland where I’m from - a country that did benefit from the plantations - well some more than others. But who actually benefited ? My ancestors were weavers mainly - did the slave trade have a trickle down effect and provide jobs in Glasgow and Edinburgh? Surely did, but my family were peasants - they didn’t own much and certainly not slaves. The point I’m making is that trying to work out who benefitted and didn’t benefit from slavery is far too complicated. Reparations chat should be buried for good
Everyone who has ever done something bad or horrific, had relatives. Parents, siblings and children. Their relatives should not have to suffer the consequences of that person’s actions.
Maybe she can find it within herself to give the sane grace to others that she’s so quickly given herself.
My step daughter said I needed to pay retributions for something I had nothing to do with. I told her to pay for me since she cares and I don't. She walked away.
Sorry to hear that. I don't know how old your stepdaughter is, but the younger generation have been so brainwashed.
Well, start with the birthday presents you would have given to her, except these are going to pay for reparations. Next, her college education, etc. This will please her greatly, and she will love you.😄
@cherylk.2474 She is in her 20s. There was no way in hell not being my biological offspring I was paying for her college. After Covid hit, she never went back.
when she marries a colored person,ask her is this your reperation.
@@cherylk.2474Oooph, met a white girl whose family owned a whole ass piece of land in a sea of not so white people, many poor. She went on the white guilt crap of feeling guilty and whatnot that it was her and not them getting a Masters degree.
I told her if I were her Id appreciate my luck and if she feels so strongly, why doesnt she drop out and give some of the money to the people back home who are poor instead? Shes clearly unhappy and they wouldnt say no.
Never talked to me about white guilt shit again.
Some folks will whine about reparations a thousand years from now. They need to shut the blank up !
Exactly great point. Slavery is Human history. People being horrible to people colour & race has nothing to do with it. Thank you
1619 was the beginning of the end of slavery. in just 200 years was being abolished in Britain and america but had visible remnants left in such as U.S south and Brazil
Slavery and Prisoners weren't about color and race. It was tribes and different civilizations wanting more resources, and the labour force is also a resource that is deemed a necessity
@@chael9323 They are talking about slavery in the U.S., which was based on race
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.
No one is responsible for what their ancestors have done.
Tell that to the aboriginal people of Australia that “demand” a welcome to country
They forget that the white man gave them longevity of life and all the good stuff but they chose to be drunks and drug addicts and violent criminals
Really
Unless you happen to be white
I think they belive this because black americans have the highest amounts of christians in the whole world and christians belive in generational sin.
So if anyone in your family, say 500 years ago, did a bad thing.
You are still guilty of that sin
tell that to some groups
Amala Ekpunobi, is an amazing young lady. Love this channel.
"Wealthy woman related to slave owners."

"Wealthy black woman demands reparation from poor white people. In the name of equity"
RIP common sense 🤦♀
@@r.walker7986she clearly isn’t that intelligent if it’s surprised her she had white ancestors from Spain 🤣🤣. Where did she think the Spanish language came from. Languages never supplant other languages without oppression 😉
I loved instead of labeling her ancestors as horrible people, it was look how far we've come. lol Smells of hypocrisy.
Yes it does.

Oh it's just a fact of life she said right....
I'm Native American. I know as a fact my tribe was EXCEPTIONALLY brutal towards settlers. I don't feel guilt from this. Sonny has no reason not to be the same. It is what it is: we're all human.
Which tribe? Comanche? That’s a big reason why our military names American weapons after the natives, they fought hard.
@@Great_Scot you made this a loaded dialog for no reason.
I don’t think it was meant to be “loaded” - more a form of respect, I thought?
@@Great_Scot Mohawk
I always feel a bit of pride when I see another native having a sensible healthy opinion like this. It feels like in a general sense native Americans have a healthy and honest view of the past and what happened to us.
We're all the same, when people think they can take what you have and get away with it they will, the justifications they create are always secondary to that fact, before the whites came we were fighting each other and some of us even used the whites to make territorial gains of our own when the opportunity presented itself.
The moment people start thinking they're not capable of evil is the moment they're most susceptible to it.
I have an ancestor that fought for the Union to free slaves. Shouldn't this fact keep my tax money from going to reparations'. Shouldn't all the ancestors of Union soldiers be absolved from paying reparations?
To be fair, She was acting "Holier Than Thou" for a LONG TIME before placed on "The Spew".
Oh NOW it’s a “fact of life” 😂
As a Scottish person whose ancestors faced centuries of oppression from our neighbours in England who we live in peace and harmony with - I find ancestral guilt and reparations utterly ridiculous.
