The writer Coleman Hughes went on “The View” and was greeted almost as though he had shown up wearing a white hood.
Hughes, a soft-spoken black intellectual who is a political independent, was talking about his new book, “The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America.”
Once upon a time, colorblindness was an uncontroversial idea. It was considered a core American ideal and worth aspiring to, even if we were failing to live up to it.
In recent decades, though, it has run into a buzz-saw of opposition. It clashes with the Left’s near-theological commitment to racial preferences, especially on college campuses, and with fashionable new forms of left-wing racialism.
So it is naive, out-of-date and, worse, even a tool of oppression used by sneaky racists to hide their malignant designs in lofty rhetoric.
This was the attitude of co-host Sunny Hostin when Hughes showed up on set.
This is just another show that should be taken off the air. Nothing but a bunch of racist old hags. There is not a single host on this show that wants an intelligent conversation. If the guest doesn’t absolutely agree with them, the guest gets ridiculed, yelled at, talked over. These gals can’t hold a civil conversation. The worse part is, there are many shows just like this that start early in the morning through LATE at night.
