Sunny Hostin Did Not Apologize To Coleman Hughes For Lying About Him, Calling Him A Charlatan

Hughes's book, The End of Race Politics, makes the case against race-based policies as a means to end American racism.

Why haven't we seen this VERY telling study on police & racism? Probably because the left covered it up



Author Coleman Hughes recently brought an argument in favor of colorblindness to the leftist panel of "The View," and they weren’t having it.

“Your argument for colorblindness is something that the right has co-opted,” one of "The View" cohosts said to Hughes. “You are being used as a pawn by the right,” she added.

The host then accused Hughes of saying that he was a conservative, which he denied.

“I think it’s better, and it would be better for everyone, if we stuck to the topics rather than make it about me with no evidence that I’ve been co-opted,” Hughes said.

“Who’s the racist here?” Glenn Beck asks, astounded. “We have gotten to a place or we were at a place to where we wanted to see people for the content of their character, thought that was right, and in many cases, that’s the way we judged the world.”

Hughes also mentioned a study brought up by Roland Fryer during a speech at the Free Press. The study was on police violence — and it didn’t fall in line with the left’s assumptions of bias in the police force.

“I collected a lot of data,” Fryer, who is also African-American, said. “We collected millions of observations on everyday use of force that wasn’t lethal. We collected thousands of observations on lethal force, and it was in this moment in 2016 that I realized people lose their minds when they don’t like the result.”

Fryer noted that he found “some bias in the low-level uses of force everyday,” which included “pushing up against cars and things like that.”

“People seem to like that result,” he said. “But we didn’t find any racial bias in police shootings,” he continued, noting that he had eight full-time RAs that it took to do the study over the course of a year. When he found the result, he hired eight fresh ones — and the study came back the same.

“I had colleagues take me to the side and say, ‘Don’t publish this, you’ll ruin your career,’” Fryer explained. “I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ I said, ‘What’s wrong with it?’”

Coleman Hughes makes Sunny Hostin regret attacking him in brutal smackdown on 'The View': 'That's an ad hominem tactic'



Author Coleman Hughes shut down "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin on Wednesday after she accused him of being a conservative "pawn" and "charlatan."

While discussing his new book, "The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America," Hughes said his argument for a color-blind society centers on treating people "without regard to race," stressing the importance of using socioeconomics — not race — as the proxy for better understanding the disadvantaged.

When Hughes laid out his argument, he received loud applause from the audience. But Hostin took issue with it.

Hostin, who recently learned that her ancestors owned slaves, claimed that Hughes' thesis is "fundamentally flawed," arguing that race is baked into socioeconomic disparity.

But Hughes disagreed, advocating for what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called a "bill of rights for the disadvantaged," a plan to help all impoverished Americans.

That's when the show took a bizarre turn.

Hostin claimed MLK didn't believe what Hughes had argued. Instead, she said MLK wanted reparations for black people and implied that her view carries more weight because she knows MLK's daughter. And if the faux appeal to authority wasn't enough, Hostin then attacked Hughes personally.

"Your argument for color-blindness is something that the right has co-opted," Hostin said. "So many in the black community — if I'm being honest with you, because I want to be — believe that you are being used as a pawn by the right and that you're a charlatan of sorts."

Hughes immediately asked Hostin to back her claims, and co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin interjected to note that Hughes is not a Republican.

When Hostin couldn't name a single person who she claimed had made the accusations that she alleged, Hughes corrected the record.

"I don't think I've been co-opted by anyone. I've only voted twice — both for Democrats. Although I'm an independent, I would vote for a Republican, probably a non-Trump Republican if they were compelling. I don't think there's any evidence I’ve been co-opted by anyone, and I think that's an ad hominem tactic people use to not address the important conversations we're having here," he said

"There's no evidence that I've been co-opted by anyone," Hughes explained. "I have an independent podcast. I work for CNN as an analyst. I write for the Free Press. I'm independent in all of these endeavors, and no one is paying me to say what I'm saying. I'm saying it because I feel it."

Case closed.

Coleman Hughes Silences CNN Host by Calling BS on Blaming Racism

Coleman Hughes Silences CNN Host by Calling BS on Blaming Racism

CNN guest makes host regret playing race card to defend former Harvard president: 'No one to blame but herself'



Coleman Hughes is refusing to buy the left's narrative about the ouster of now-former Harvard president Claudine Gay.

After Gay's resignation on Tuesday, progressives claimed Gay had become the victim of a racially motivated campaign against her. The narrative argues that conservatives targeted Gay because she is black and a proponent of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

On CNN, network anchor Abby Phillip tried to bait Hughes into giving legitimacy to the argument.

"Don't [you] think there was anything about this that had to do with the fact that she was a black woman from the people who were claiming this as a victory against DEI?" Phillip asked.

"I don't think it did. And, you know what? Even if it did, that doesn't justify [the plagiarism]. If you or I did this, or even any white scholar, it would be career-ending to have 50 examples of plagiarism," Hughes fired back. "And it has to be because: How can you be the one upholding Harvard's integrity when you yourself have failed? It's as if the commissioner of the Major League Baseball or the NBA had a lifelong history of steroid use and was now the person in charge of kicking other people out for steroid use.

"It's completely untenable," he explained.

— (@)

Throughout the interview, Phillip and guest Mussab Ali repeatedly defended and excused Gay's behavior, suggesting she was the victim of an unfair process in which her race played a role or that her plagiarism wasn't serious. But Hughes remained strong in the face of their excuses.

"Students get expelled for this," Hughes argued, later saying, "This is a pattern of serious fraud that would destroy the career of any journalists, any author."

Gay, according to Hughes, "has no one to blame but herself in this situation."

"If you're the president of a university, that means you're in charge of policing plagiarism among students. Every year, some Harvard students get disciplined for plagiarism. You cannot yourself be trailing a history of almost 50 credible allegations of plagiarism," he explained.

"She took the easy way out by plagiarizing over and over again rather than the hard way of constructing your own original prose," he added.
