Apparently, you could be a multi-millionaire who brags about taking their household holidays to Martha’s Winery and Sag Harbor, has a husband who’s a famend orthopedic surgeon in New York Metropolis, and be a co-host of the top-rated daytime speak present and nonetheless be “oppressed.” That’s what the racist co-host of The View, Sunny Hostin needed viewers to consider throughout a dialog concerning the woke efforts to censor influential literature, whereas additionally pushing the debunked narrative that black historical past was being erased.

At challenge had been the current rewrites of the works of Roald Dahl and Ian Fleming. Hostin was the odd one out on the set in that she was adamantly in favor of censoring literature, seemingly suggesting she was an excellent arbitrator for that endeavor.

“I will disagree,” she introduced in opposition to the 4 different co-hosts (Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, and Alyssa Farah Griffin). Hostin was all for censoring the James Bond novels regardless of asserting she’s a “big” fan:

When you consider a guide like James Bond – and I am an enormous James Bond fan – in his Reside and Let Die guide – in that novel, he visits Harlem and he makes use of the N-word to explain nearly each black individual he sees there. And in my opinion, the sensitivity of the edits now say “black man,” “black lady,” “black individual.” I respect that.

Hostin, who has beforehand demanded reparations, urged that viewers wanted to take her phrase take her phrase for it as a result of she’s an oppressed individual. “You do not have to name me the N-word for me to know my oppression. And I feel when somebody who’s oppressed tells you that, I feel that you must hear,” she lectured.

In sharp distinction, Goldberg was staunchly towards censoring the N-word and even warned towards it. “That was a part of how we recognized ourselves…The underside line is: if we are saying it needs to be faraway from all of the literature, that features our literature,” she knowledgeable the solid.

“Y’all obtained to cease this. Simply put a disclaimer…Children ought to have the suitable to learn how individuals thought in order that they know find out how to make the change,” she mentioned concerning the censorship on the whole.

Fake Republican Navarro was additionally towards the censorship, not simply because eradicating gendered language concerning the Oompa Loompas was ridiculous but in addition as a result of it gave the “people on the suitable” ammunition to be “anti-woke”:

What else occurs is I feel overreaching and overcompensating and overdoing it as a result of to me whenever you’re eradicating all gender-specific phrases from the Oompa Loompas – I imply, individuals, the Oompa Loompas are fictional! They’re made-believe. However you understand, whenever you’re doing that form of factor it lends itself for folk on the suitable to say, “Oh, that is what woke is all about. You’ve obtained to be anti-woke. Let’s go an anti-woke act.”

Navarro then pushed the debunked conspiracy concept that black historical past was being eradicated from college curriculums. “I am not involved about you modifying out phrases from a guide. I feel that is silly. I’m involved about you modifying out black historical past research AP programs in Florida,” she shouted.

That falsehood was echoed later by Hostin and Goldberg after they urged colleges weren’t educating the historic context of various works of literature.

FARAH GRIFFIN: Like, I grew up studying Mark Twain within the California public college system. We had an entire dialogue; sure, we realized the literature, however we realized why the N-word was used and the racist historical past related to it. And that caught with me greater than the story did. So, I feel contextualizing it and educating it –

HOSTIN: However they don’t seem to be doing that anymore.

GOLDBERG: Nicely, that’s why we’re bitching about it. As a result of they’re not doing that anymore.

HOSTIN: They’re not doing that.

Lecturers, are you offended by the lies of Whoopi and the oppressed Hostin?

This ridiculousness from Sunny Hostin was made doable due to profitable sponsorships from AARP and Purina. Their contact data is linked.

ANA NAVARRO: What else occurs is I feel overreaching and overcompensating and overdoing it as a result of to me whenever you’re eradicating all gender-specific phrases from the Oompa Loompas – I imply, individuals, the Oompa Loompas are fictional! They’re made-believe. However you understand, whenever you’re doing that form of factor it lends itself for folk on the suitable to say, “Oh, that is what woke is all about. You’ve obtained to be anti-woke. Let’s go an anti-woke act.”

Let me inform you what I’m involved about. I am not involved about you modifying out phrases from a guide. I feel that is silly. I’m involved about you modifying out black historical past research AP programs in Florida.

[Applause]

And I – you understand – I feel it ought to make us really feel uncomfortable. We went to see Piano Lesson, the play by August Wilson. The N-word is used there like each different sentence. And it ought to make us really feel uncomfortable. However it’s what it’s – it was what it was and we can’t erase historical past.

[Crosstalk]

SUNNY HOSTIN: I will disagree. I feel that — I imply, I am within the specific place the place I’ve a toddler in highschool. And he is studying issues like Toni Morrison and she or he’s studying issues like James Baldwin and she or he’s studying concerning the struggles.

And she or he’s additionally educated concerning the erasure of African American historical past at this time and the way white households don’t need their youngsters to be taught sure issues as a result of they may really feel like they’re the oppressors. And so, whereas all this sounds great, what is not great is that if these youngsters do not be taught sure issues which might be uncomfortable they may, you understand — previous can turn out to be prologue.

That being mentioned, when you consider a guide like James Bond – and I am an enormous James Bond fan – in his Reside and Let Die guide – in that novel, he visits Harlem and he makes use of the N-word to explain nearly each black individual he sees there. And in my opinion, the sensitivity of the edits now say “black man,” “black lady,” “black individual.” I respect that.

You do not have to name me the N-word for me to know my oppression. And I feel when somebody who’s oppressed tells you that, I feel that you must hear.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: I feel that is a legitimate level.

Simply the thought I had is you do not need to whitewash the historical past a lot that youngsters nowadays do not even realize it was there. Like, I grew up studying Mark Twain within the California public college system. We had an entire dialogue; sure, we realized the literature, however we realized why the N-word was used and the racist historical past related to it. And that caught with me greater than the story did. So, I feel contextualizing it and educating it –

HOSTIN: However they don’t seem to be doing that anymore.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Nicely, that’s why we’re bitching about it. As a result of they’re not doing that anymore.

HOSTIN: They’re not doing that.
