Despite her family coming from slaveholders, "The View" host Sunny Hostin declared "I still believe in reparations!"
On Thursday’s episode of the ABC daytime talk show, Hostin addressed her recent appearance on the PBS documentary show "Finding Your Roots." The show’s host Henry Louis Gates Jr. revealed to Hostin that one of her ancestors on her maternal side was likely involved in the slave trade in colonial Spain and "owned at least one human being."
Though she acknowledged the news with the panel, she insisted that she still "deserved" reparations.
"I still believe in reparations, by the way. So, y'all can stop texting me and emailing me and saying that I'm a White girl and I don't deserve reparations!" Hostin said.
