“The View” Sunny Hostin Discovers that She is a Descendant of Slave Owners from Spain

GP: In a twist that sounds like it’s straight out of a satirical comedy, Sunny Hostin, a far-left progressive political commentator and a co-host of The View, experienced a jaw-dropping revelation on PBS’ Finding Your Roots.

Hostin, an outspoken advocate for slavery reparations, was shocked to learn that her own lineage traces back to Spanish slave owners.

The episode left the 55-year-old far-left host grappling with a complex personal revelation.

Hostin, whose mother is Puerto Rican and father is African American, has long identified with her Puerto Rican heritage and the civil rights movement.

However, the PBS series hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr. uncovered that Hostin’s maternal ancestors were far from the freedom fighters she had imagined; they were slave owners in Spain.

According to Daily Mail, Hostin’s third great-grandfather, Fermín, a son of a Spanish merchant who was likely involved in the slave trade, was revealed to have owned slaves. Hostin also found out that she is only 7% indigenous Puerto Rican. more

  1. “Finding Your Roots” might get cancelled by the left. It’s exposing the truth about “Person of Color” racists’ genealogies. Confirming the fact they don’t have a racist leg to stand on.

    Ironically, the host, Henry Louis Gates Jr. is a rabid racist, too. He’s so myopic, he doesn’t realize he’s damaging the hate-filled reputations of these high profile racists like Angela Davis, Levar Burton and now elitist Sunny Hostin . LOL!
    Hope this train wreck continues.

  2. If her mom is Puerto Rican and dad is African, does it make her racist for calling herself Puerto Rican?
    Why doesn’t she refer to herself as Af-Rican?

  3. Somebody need to tell these African-American people that virtually all slaves that came east were purchased from other black Africans. Africa is overloaded with slave traders even now. Maybe they could donate some of the reparations.
