The heated discussion on race among the hosts of ‘The View’ sparked intense debate at the Hot Topics table. The conversation stemmed from Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s recent comments about America’s racist history. In the midst of the discussion, legal expert Sunny Hostin criticized Haley’s understanding of secession after the Civil War, while also theorizing that white people felt threatened by Barack Obama’s presidency, leading them to vote for Donald Trump. Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former White House staffer, disagreed with Haley’s views on race but argued that the majority of Americans are not racist. However, Hostin strongly disagreed, sharing her own personal experience of her son being called racial slurs. The debate highlighted the complex and deeply rooted issues surrounding race in the United States. Sara Haines criticized Haley for engaging in double-talks and pandering to a specific base, while Joy Behar questioned the certainty of Griffin’s viewpoint. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg emphasized the importance of acknowledging historical racism and teaching it to prevent its repetition in the future. The intense discussion shed light on the divergent perspectives on race among the hosts of ‘The View’ and the challenges of addressing such a sensitive topic in today’s society.
