Sunny Hostin says she brought her son to the police to prevent harassment calls from her all-white neighborhood
In a bizarre moment on "The View," co-host Sunny Hostin offered her paranoia about racism from her white neighbors as evidence of racial tension in America.
The hosts were discussing a newly released Netflix documentary titled "The Perfect Neighbor," about a white woman who shot her black female neighbor in Florida, when Hostin made the comments. They described the documentary as "heart-wrenching" and "powerful."
'I know that black boys are not given the presumption of innocence and the presumption of youth.'
Hostin told the story in the context that the black mother who was shot had also gone to defend her child from racist harassment.
"As a mother of black children, I know that black boys are not given the presumption of innocence and the presumption of youth," Hostin said.
She then offered the story about her son.
"For me, what was interesting was I have had to be in the position where I have gone to my local police department because I know my son is going to be training for the Junior Olympics — running around the neighborhood in an all-white neighborhood — and I have brought him to the police and said, ‘He belongs to me; this is my son. Do not harass him; do not stop him,'" she recalled.
"So she was doing what so many black mothers do," Hostin added.
Video of the comments was posted to social media, where many users responded with ridicule.
"Ironic. She makes the absolute worst assumptions about her White Neighbors having the absolute worst assumptions about her," read one response.
"Her accusation isn't remotely credible. She could easily choose to live in an all-black neighborhood and see how safe for son is then," responded another user.
"This is the kind of delusional performance that’s made The View a circus instead of a serious show," read another response. "Sunny Hostin turns every personal anecdote into some grand race narrative like she’s living in a 1950s movie instead of a multimillion-dollar mansion."

Others, however, offered their own stories in confirmation of the bias Hostin was describing.
"It happens. I live in a gated community, and I have been there for over 13 years, and they still call the local police on me while I am out walking my dog at least 3 times a month," responded another user. "It has gotten to the point where I know all the cops by name, and they know mine."
The entire segment about the documentary can be viewed on the show's YouTube channel.

‘The View’ co-hosts try to humiliate Cheryl Hines over vaccines and RFK Jr.— and fail miserably
If the show “The View” isn’t paid for by advertising from pharmaceutical companies, you’d never know, because they defend vaccines with a tenacity that can only be rivaled by the manufacturers themselves.
And in a recent interview with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s wife, Cheryl Hines, the panel could not have fought harder in favor of those pharmaceutical companies — never once grazing the truth despite minutes of speaking over Hines.
“You know, Cheryl, it’s not fair to really put you on the spot about him because you’re his wife. I know that. But when you say that they are pro-vaccine, it seems as though Bobby and Trump are casting doubt on the efficacy of the vaccine, which makes Americans very nervous,” co-host Joy Behar said.
“So, that’s the problem that we’re having,” she added.
“It’s interesting because I don’t know if you saw ‘60 Minutes’ just did a piece about the vaccine injury compensation program. So, people that have had vaccine injuries can be compensated if they can prove it. And they have paid out $5.4 billion for vaccine injuries,” Hines replied.
“So, my question is, can we do better?” she asked.
“Is it all vaccines or just the COVID vaccine?” Whoopi Goldberg interjected, to which Hines replied, “It’s all vaccines.”
“So, the question is — yes to vaccines. Yes, they are important, and they are an important part of our health care. Can we do better? Can we make them safer? Can we listen to parents who say, ‘My child got the vaccine and changed and stopped hitting markers, stopped developing the way they were developing.’ Can we listen to people when they say that instead of saying, ‘You’re crazy?’” Hines continued.
But that wasn’t all the ladies of ‘The View’ went after Hines for.
Sunny Hostin called RFK the “least qualified Department of Health and Human Services head that we’ve had in history,” lamenting that this is “very dangerous.”
Having previously pointed out that Obama’s head of HHS was an economist, Hines responded, “Why is he less qualified than an economist?”
“He has spent his career studying toxins, studying people’s health, fighting for one guy who was using Roundup for his job,” Hines continued.
“He has also spread a lot of misinformation, a lot of chaos, a lot of confusion. And I think it’s just a very dangerous thing,” Hostin continued, adding, “and I say it with the utmost respect.”
BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales isn’t shocked by what she’s hearing from the women on ‘The View,’ but she is disgusted.
“‘The utmost respect,’” she mocks. “Like, it’s just so tacky. ‘With all due respect, I actually think your husband is a terrible ... person.’ Like, you can’t just say stuff like that. And it’s just so laughable.”
Gonzales points out that Joe Biden’s HHS secretary was Xavier Becerra, who had zero medical background.
“He was also a former politician and a lawyer. And the closest thing that he came to anything health-related was bringing felony charges against the Center for Medical Progress activists who exposed Planned Parenthood for allegedly selling fetal tissue,” Gonzales explains.
Not only that, but Biden’s assistant secretary for health was “Rachel” Levine — a transgender woman.
“That just tells you all you need to know about all of these recent Health and Human Services secretaries who haven’t given a s**t that we have become more sick,” Gonzales says, “We have become sicker than ever before.”
