The American flag has always meant different things to different people. For many, it’s a symbol of freedom, military service, family, and the country they love. For others, it can stir up more complicated emotions tied to America’s past and present.
That debate erupted this week after The View co-host Sunny Hostin said neighborhoods filled with American flags make her feel “unsafe” following a discussion about a recent white nationalist march in Washington, D.C.
The Hill covered the exchange, which quickly lit up social media and drew criticism from Republican lawmakers.
“There are times when I walk into a community and I see American flags all over the community and I suddenly feel unsafe,” Hostin said. “There is a section of this country that has co-opted the American flag and they equate being an American… with white supremacy.”
It’s a comment that landed like a grenade.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz fired back on X, asking, “Why do liberals hate America?” South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace added, “Freedom is triggering for communists.”
Hostin’s remarks came after discussing Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization that recently marched through Washington, D.C., carrying American flags. Her argument wasn’t that the flag itself is racist. Rather, she suggested extremist groups have appropriated the symbol in ways that make some Americans feel uncomfortable.
That prompted an interesting debate on The Hill’s “Rising” program.

One panelist argued that Hostin was describing what she called “exclusionary patriotism.” In her view, some minority Americans may associate large displays of flags with people who don’t believe they fully belong in the American story. She pointed to the country’s history of slavery, segregation and delayed civil rights as reasons some people may experience patriotism differently.
The other member of the panel wasn’t buying it.
One commentator argued there is little evidence that neighborhoods displaying American flags are inherently dangerous. In fact, he suggested the opposite may often be true, saying people are far more likely to feel unsafe because of violent crime, gang activity, robberies or poor policing than because of flags flying on front porches.
He also noted that while Patriot Front deserves condemnation, it represents only a tiny fraction of Americans.
That raises an interesting question.
If a few hundred extremists march carrying American flags, do they get to redefine what that flag means for the other 340 million Americans?
That’s a difficult standard to apply.
History is full of symbols that have been misused by bad people without permanently losing their original meaning. The overwhelming majority of Americans displaying Old Glory aren’t endorsing white nationalism. They’re celebrating Independence Day, honoring military service, remembering a loved one who served, or simply expressing pride in their country.
At the same time, it’s also fair to acknowledge that people bring different life experiences to the conversation. Feelings (whether others agree with them or not) are still real to the people experiencing them.
Where many critics part ways with Hostin is over whether those feelings accurately reflect reality. Feeling unsafe isn’t the same thing as being unsafe.

Most Americans who worry about safety today are thinking about violent crime, home invasions, carjackings, drug trafficking or gang violence. Not whether their neighbor has an American flag hanging from the porch.
And if extremists truly have tried to hijack patriotic symbols, many would argue the answer isn’t to surrender those symbols. It’s to reclaim them.
The American flag has flown over battlefields, hunting camps, football games, schools and family homes for nearly 250 years. Millions of Americans (including veterans, legal immigrants, civil rights leaders and everyday citizens from every race and background) see it as a symbol of liberty, not division.
With that said, what say you.
Has the American flag been unfairly associated with extremism? Does it make you feel unsafe? Do you understand where Sunny Hostin is coming from? Or do you think she’s nuts?
Can extremists really “co-opt” one of the nation’s oldest symbols, or does giving them that power hand them a victory they haven’t earned?

America has never had a King and Queen for Americas Far Right to worship so the Far Right in America have substituted the Flag as their religious icon. In most European countries do not worship their countries flag as a religious icon.
Too often the far Right often wave the flag because of blind patriotism while letting the Government do their thinking for them especially when it comes to foreign policy or the treatment of foreign peoples and their governments with disastrous consequences. The Vietnam war was a primary example of blind patriotism proving to be a National and International black mark on American History. In fact the Left proved to be the “real patriots” by “not” worshiping the flag but using the grey matter between their ears to look past U.S. Government lies and propaganda and flag waving that came from both a Democratic and Republican Presidencies.
You do not have to worship the flag as a religious icon to be a patriotic American, history has certainly proven that and the flag burning during the Vietnam War proved that the Left was making a statement by refusing to be blinded by all the Far Right flag waving and worship which resulted in a war that never should have been.
In fact the “Cult of the Far Right flag worship” has taken more lives through senseless wars than it ever saved from protecting America from an invasion that only occurred once in the early history of the country and was really retaliation by the British for the U.S. invasion of Canada in order to enslave the Canadians. Thank God that was not successful or Canada would have lost a Parliamentary Government with true democracy and and multiple political parties which the U.S. Government screwed its own citizens out of by establishing an Oligarchy of the Super Rich which is still in control to this very day.
Flag wavers have come to be associated with the ignorant Far Right which are blinded by it and too readily accepting anything the Government tells them when the Government wants to enhance its own wealth and power over other countries in the world. Trumps flag waving as an excuse to invade Greenland (a NATO Country) comes to mind in recent days and certainly one of the most outrageous examples of blind flag waving designed to dupe the American Far Right. Its like taking candy from a baby.
NONSENSE
“…The Germans got what they described when they finally surrendered. I personally would have starved them all to death, they were monsters not human beings…” -dacian
Hey dacian, explain why you admit on one hand that you would starve all Germans to death and flop to race does NOT matter when talking about Talmudic Communists like Lenin?
I should have been more specific in that comment. I meant the Nazi’s not the entire race of the German People because many of them did not even know what was going on in the Concentrations Camps. I was speaking of the people (Nazi’s) that did know and did murder people as they did when they moved Jews from one Concentration to another one further away from the approaching U.S. Army and murdered many of them on death marches. Yes indeed I would have starved all of those bastards to death and been proud of it because the Nazi’s where depraved animals. Last night on the WWII Tom Hanks special it had an actual picture of the Nazi’s making naked women lay flat on the ground while they blew their brains out. In Warsaw the Nazi’s raised the entire city to the ground and murdered everyone and raped all the women. Exterminating Vermin like this is not a crime otherwise you are condemning the brave U.S. and Allied soldiers who did the same and did know what to do with them. Dead they could no longer teach their children to hate as they did or survive WWII to later laugh about what they did.
And since you know zero about WWII because Canadians and American G.I.’s seldom took Nazi prisoners, when they came out with their hands up they were just blown away. Russians did the same as everyone knew what depraved monsters the Nazi’s were. On the other hand the regular German Soldiers were indeed taken prisoner by the Allies in WWII.
Your attempt to play pseudo Historian only shows you know nothing at all about History except the propaganda and lies your Far Right Web sites pander and you are gullible enough to swallow it hook line and sinker. Next you will be telling us the Holocaust never took place. That is part of the twisted thinking and depraved ideology of the Far Right.
People like you are a danger to humanity. Your constant racist comments leave no doubt what your gang would do if they heaven forbid ever took over this country by force as they tried to do on Jan. 6th. And they came damn close to doing it.
Try again Kane you only keep falling head first into the outhouse.
“I should have been more specific in that comment. I meant the Nazi’s not the entire race of the German People…” -hazmat liar dacian
Stop, that was a rare, honest moment for you and now you hope to obfuscate your true meaning and the “danger to humanity” you would pose if you were more than just an old peon on. You recklessly throw around pejorative terms like “Nazi’s” without justification over and over again. Now you are trying to sell the lie that when you really were talking about actual Nazis you chose a vague term even though you never before passed up the chance to use the specific term Nazis, no matter how inappropriate.
“…The Germans got what they described when they finally surrendered. I personally would have starved them all to death, they were monsters not human beings…”
You “would have starved them all to death.” All approximately 90,000,000 Germans, little girls and boys, slowly and painfully starved to death by extreme left-winger dacian if dacian ever had any power. You are a character much like the Soviet propogandist Ilya Ehrenburg, except you will live and die without any real power. How have you made this long?
Just own it. Everyone here that has read your posts and your use of “Nazis” over and over and over and over again labeling people because they posted something that you disagree with. No one will believe the “I meant the Nazi’s” lie but somehow dacian used the term “Germans” in this one instance.
At least dacian shoud be honest, just this once.
Folks, I’m not going to rant or rave against any particular group or ethnicity… for the record, I’m a 75 year old U.S. Marine who loves his Family and Country. TV shows & networks like the one mentioned in the article make their money pandering to the idiots who get their jollies trash-talking Our Country.
Interesting how none of them make any effort to move out of their terrible place, isn’t it??
I have no need to issue threats or any such nonsense… I will, however, always defend Our Country and her Flag with my life as long as I draw breath. I pledged my Allegience as a young school kid and gave my Oath when I became a U.S. Marine… for me, this Oath is forever. As others have said, anyone who hates Our Country is welcome to leave… none of them have an anchor chained to their asses.
I pray that our America and honorable Americans will always be Blessed… keep the Faith, my friends… we are still here.
I will help her pack, and tell her to not let the door hit her in the ASS on the way out of AMERICA!!!
The View is one of sources of the mental illness in this country that’s causing all the problems. Why is that program still on and why do people pay attention wit
Had enough of the lies and BS from these lunatics and #1 domestic terrorists?
I am fatigued thru and thru.
What a sad and pathetic person. I almost feel sorry for her and her family!
If Sunny Hoston is feeling unsafe seeing all the American flags, maybe she should go to Iran or Russia so she can feel “safer” without all the American flags around.
She needs to GTF out of our country, then.
Amen. The laws from all crimes to treason MUST BE ENFORCED !!
obama committed treason, sedition, and a coup against the USA
Convict and PUNISH obama and it’s co-conspirators.
Oh brother are you brainwashed. Obama did not try to take over the Government by force as Herr Drumpf and his mad dog Stormtroopers did when on Jan 6th they tried to establish a Trump dictatorship. Four Republican investigations proved there were no mass of votes changed or stolen during the election and remember these were actually Republican investigations. Of course brainwashed people like you will belleive anything Herr Drumpf (the Donald) tells you.
If you want to stop future treason attempts then lock up Herr Drumpf as even a 5th grader is aware of what he attempted to do on Jan 6th.
You know when an American flag makes me uncomfortable? When it’s draped over a Coffin of an American hero! Go live somewhere else that makes you “feel comfortable ” might I suggest Iran or Russia?
While it ‘may’ be true that Old Glory can be coopted by extremist groups, anyone that is so easily ‘triggered’ or frightened by it is certainly able to pack up their bags and depart, post haste.
It would be ‘interesting’ if a group of veterans marched outside her house while singing patriotic songs, with the proper permits of course.
This is unbelievable. How in the world could she come to a conclusion like this? Really? I am a veteran. If our flag honestly makes her feel that, then she should find another country to move to whose flag doesn’t cause her stress and worry. She should probably seek some counseling too.
I am so tired of this BS with people like her. She should move to Iran, or Iraq and see what things are like there for their citizens. Go cry somewhere else.
F!! her!!!
For Sunny, I would ask why? Ask her to verify just one time (with evidence) when she was ever personally attacked, robbed, or raped in such a neighborhood. She should kiss that flag for all the easy success, fame, and money she’s acquired under its protection in her life. However, if she prefers, she has the freedom (and money) to move to any other country of her choice.
The picture used, a normal, 4th of July decorated, older suburban neighborhood, is an absolute different tune than a bunch of ‘white sheets’ marching with flags, viking shields, and swastikas… & they don’t come anywhere near the numbers that flood the whatever ‘pride’ parades & cause the most damage…
I don’t care about race. I care about class. Equality is earned for all of us. Trailerpark Bob & ghetto Cornpop occupy the same class. We all have access to a free education. Make use of it & you find the starting lines are roughly equal. (Yes, I’m aware of the difference between my small town highschool and inner city schools that require guards and metal detectors.) But there have been plenty of excellent people that mamaged to crawl their way through and succeed.
Kane incorrectly claimed that: “Among the most hateful Jewish mass murderers were Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (fake name Lenin), Genrikh Yagoda, Nikolai Yezhov. Most likely crypto Jews were Joseph Lavrentiy Dzhugashvili (debate on the Ossetic translations are son of a Jew) (fake name Stalin) and Lavrentiy Beria”. FWIW, Lenin wasnt Jewish, he came from an Orthodox Russian family whose father was minor Tsarist nobility. Yezhov was of mixed Lithuanian and Russian blood; Dzhugashvili and Beria both came from Georgian families and in no way were they Jewish. This is documented historical fact. Genrikh Grigorevich Yagoda, a Chekist under Lenin and founder of the OGPU, was in fact Jewish. There were many Jews in the leadership of the early bolshevik party, not surprising considering the rampant anti-Semitism among Orthodox Russians of the time and in the Tsarist State.
Dunne incorrectly claimed that: “Lenin wasnt Jewish, he came from an Orthodox Russian family whose father was minor Tsarist nobility.”
You better check your sources more closely on the fake named Lenin (took a name of a river), he was at least 1/3 Jewish from his maternal grandfather’s side of the family of Moshko (Alexander) Blank. His father may have been considered a member of the Czar’s Second Estate as a 3rd class Active State Councilor who was a mere teacher and school inspector (a very minor position) and had a relatively privileged up bringing he was not very high in Russian society.
His terrorist brother who tried to assassinate the Czar was offered a pardon to repent yet refused the merciful gesture. Lenin’s hate of grew for the Christian aristocracy when he tried to raise money for his mother to visit his brother in prison, all my points are established history. Lenin was coddled while in custody Even Molotov who knew both Stalin and Lenin said that Lenin was far more vicious than Stalin, hard to believe that was possible.
Both Stalin and Beria are suspected of being crypto Jews as I stated even though both sought an education a Seminarians but that and being from the Georgia region, converting to Christianity and attending the seminary are hardly proof of having NOT having Jewish blood in those societies and that era and Solzhenitsyn clearly states his views on the under lying causes of the Bolsheviks. Maybe you missed this the first time around, feel free to explain his perceptions and if he was NOT talking about Lenin etc, then who was he talking about?.
‘You must understand. The Ieading Bolsheviks who took over Rússia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. It cannot be overstated. Bolshevism committed the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant and uncaring about this enormous crime is proof that the global media is in the hands of the perpetrators.’
-Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Kane my Father fought Nazi’s just like you during WWII. He hoped with the defeat of Hitler ( your God) that the U.S. would put an end to racist Nazim “like yours” for good. Unfortunately you are a living Jew bating racist every bit as evil and depraved as Hitler’s Storm troopers. Every one of your posts seethe with hatred for not only Jews but of all minorities.
This post was really over the top when you were screaming from the rooftops that Lenin was 1/3 Jewish which you believe was some sort of a crime. Hitler would have adored you.
Since you obviously flunked History Classes and Political Science Classes and Economics just to name a few what Lenin established in the way of Social Programs were soon adopted by every industrialized and civilized nation on the planet including Capitalvania U.S.A. Ever hear of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, educational grants, school lunch programs, aid to dependent mothers etc, etc. all of which are Socialism. Of course not!!! This is all way over your head.
And since you are attempting to play Jewish race bating Historian here is one for you. Your God Adolf Hitler was part Jewish because his maternal Grandmother was raped by a Jewish man who had employed her as his housemaid. Hitler was in a blind panic over this and had his own anti Jewish Law changed to exempt him if this were ever revealed and released publicly.
Aren’t you spending too much time away from your friends in the Proud Boys, Patriot Front and the KKK. Like Trump you probably have a copy of Mein Kompf at your beside. I would not doubt you also have a picture of Adolf over your bed as well.
Your worship of the gang of Strom Troopers who on Jan 6th tried to establish a Trump dictatorship really revealed to everyone who and what you are.
Kane ignoramuses like you are always their own worst enemy. It never occurs to you that if you supported Socialism as Europe and even some Asian Countries have that you would get to retire earlier, receive a livable Soc. Security Wage, have Universal Health Care, have paid for drug care, have a safer country to live in with some sane gun control laws like Universal Background checks. And those are just a few of the Social benefits you would receive. Your philosophy due to blind greed and selfishness is that “I will save a penny today in taxes and then go bankrupt tomorrow when I need Social Programs to economically or even physically survive”.
Kane you are one sick, greedy and selfish puppy.
I provide historical facts and you apologize for the murders of a Talmudic maniac like Lenin. I was watching a journalist from Seattle who lost his job writing for a local paper because he compared Hitler and Lenin which is a “thought crime” by lefty tyrants like dacian. Also, he pointed that Communist chumps like dacian want Wasshington and Jefferson statues destroyed while a statue for the mass murderer Lenin was fine for the lefties in Fremont. Look it up, you seem to live in that area but are so uninformed of every issue.
What Lenin really “established.”
the Gulag system, the Cheka, Collectivization and the resulting famines, mass executions, one party system, no private property for the workers, no free speech, state control and the media, mass murder, invading sovereign nations
and the dacian by it’s own words cheer this on.
“Kane my Father fought Nazi’s just like you during WWII. He hoped with the defeat of Hitler ( your God) that the U.S. would put an end to racist Nazim “like yours” for good. Unfortunately you are a living Jew bating racist every bit as evil and depraved as Hitler’s Storm troopers. Every one of your posts seethe with hatred for not only Jews but of all minorities.”
Fought Nazis?
How so?
Was your father serving in the military?
The Red Army?
Around WWII the population of Germany that you would starve to death was about 90,000,000.
Would your father also want to starve 90,000,000 Germans?
The apple does NOT fall far from the tree.
Provide any and all quotes of mine that support your above statement.
You never deliver with a relevant and genuine quote.
You know I always support my statements with quotes.
Do you deny now any quotes of yours that I have provided?
I understand you Will because now you are saying because the Nazi Patriot Front may be smaller in numbers its acceptable to form or accept an All White State and discriminate or use gas chambers on anyone not White, Protestant, Liberal, or Heterosexual. In reality there is no civilized excuse for supporting such scum as the Patriot Front who are nothing more than modern day Nazi fanatics. They represent everything America is not and the first monument they would destroy would be the Statute of Liberty which they have said they hate with a passion especially the poem inscribed upon it. After all the poem is pro-immigration something the tribalistic Proud Boys hate with a passion.
You can speak of them all whether they be the Proud Boys, Patriot Front, Oath Keepers or the KKK they all want an all white supremacist state and they do not deny it. Yes if G.I. Joe from WWII were still alive he would dust off his old Thompson machine gun and do what he did in WWII i.e. blast off their feet all the U.S. Nazi’s the same as he did the German Nazi’s. G.I. Joe’s even called themselves “Antifa” meaning Anti Fascist and that is certainly what the Proud Boys and their ilk all are. They all are hard core modern day Nazi’s. Remember Black Lives Matter did not storm the Capitol on Jan 6th Trump’s Proud Boy Nazi’s did and were the organizers of the attempted 1932 style Beer Hall Putsch only it was here in America. History almost repeated itself.
No real Americans should make any excuses for these very dangerous Stormtroopers who tried to overthrow the U.S. Government by force on Jan 6th. The entire world watched in horror and saw who and what they really were. Shades of Adolf Hitlers attempt to overthrow the German Government in 1932 but the Germans knew what to do with Hitlers crowd they turned the machine guns on them. Its a shame the U.S. Military did not rush in and do the same except they could not because Herr Drumpf was protecting his Stormtroopers, Hitler did not have that advantage in 1932 he and his gang of thugs got their asses shot off. Herr Drumpf pardoned all his traitors to America.
Sunny has no perspective as to the amount of freedoms she has everyday. The White Nationalist that was mentioned were peaceful unlike Antifa and BLM who do what the leftist say the white nationalist are doing. In fact, the photo taken of a black woman surrounded by these white nationalist wasn’t threatened or harassed. Those White Nationalist left her alone, which I have to question whether the media has put a label and narrative about this group that has been distorted.
No Randal you are mouthing Far Right propaganda. Most of the Black lives matter protests were peaceful. During the Portland Oregon riots the FBI found out that the people arrested for setting fires were the Proud Boys posing as Black Lives Matter people. Anyone can look up that fact.
Even a superficial search of violence in America such as the murder of people at abortion clinics or minority people while they were in their own churches i.e. Jews and Blacks and Muslims were done by Far Right White Racists who often wore or had Nazi paraphernalia on their person or in their homes like Dillon roof.
The Patriot Front is a Far Right Nazi Hate group that wants an “all white America” and they are proud of it and admit it. It is they who have no place in America. Your sympathetic post about them is really quite appalling and leaves no doubt as to your political leanings.
Sunny who?
The Sunny who works with Joy.
well the commies that you support proliferated that narrative with lies……you don’t like it pick a country with a flag you like than move there!
I understand exactly why Ms. Hostin feels that way. The American Flag has been used in recent history as a form of intimidation by those Christian
Nationist as a form of intimidation. This message and use has been supported by our political leadership. However, for many in this country it still stands for freedom, raisal equality and the sacirfice brave individuals have made to make it that way. I refuse to be intimidated, and will continue to display my flag when appropriate as symbol of what this country was intended to be.
Amen brother!
I’m White Christian and a Nationalist without apologies but I am sure my definition of those terms differ from people like Sunny and Art. I do NOT like seeing the gay flags flying everywhere in the US that was once a had strong conservative Christian culture but neither Sunny of Art care about that side of the coin. The same groups that not too long ago called for tolerance and praised diversity seem to be changing their tune.
Hey Herr Hauptmann Kane why don’t you be honest and proud of what you are i.e. a modern Day Nazi. Even a 5th grader would understand that people like you would gladly construct gas chambers to murder everyone not White, Anglo Saxon, Protestant, and Heterosexual or Far Right. You are the bottom of the barrel of humanity. You believe no one in the country has any rights but you and your Stormtroopers.
I have never claimed to be a “White, Anglo Saxon, Protestant” and have given these details to you but you have the memory span of a house fly.
I dunno about YOU, Mr Art Morgan, but the US flag to ME is the symbol of my COUNTRY, not my politics. The fact that dubious people with whom I profoundly disagree fly it in no way changes that fact- and that flag is the symbol of THEIR country, too. That flag has meant many things to many different Americans over the 250 years we have been a nation, and some of those things havent always been nice.. Still, it was the symbol of THEIR country, too.
The fact that Hostin feels uncomfortable when around the US flag says a lot more about her and her upbringing than it does about those who like myself chose to fly the flag on holidays and special occasions. Again, the flag is the symbol of my country, not my politics.
I don’t give a solitary shit how my flag makes you feel.
That sounds like a “you problem”.
The American flag unfortunately has been coopted by certain groups. Much like the term Patriot. To me Patriot has were willing to ensure that all Americans got to enjoy those standards. Standards are different than values. Values can be an individual belief that may not be shared with our fellow Americans. And that’s okay. But standards are enshrined within our Constitution and our Bill of Rights. So basically being a Patriot means the willingness to respect and defend all Americans, not just those who look or sound like us. I used to ask people who claimed to be Patriots when and where did they serve. But I then came to a realization that serving your country isn’t just the military. If you are serving your fellow citizens, then you are a Patriot. If you are treating your fellow citizens like crap, then you are not. Pretty simple.
Sunny Hoston would maybe would feel safer in Africa. Blacks have come a long way and are involved in everything including politics, athletics, TV, business, etc. She has to bitch about something obviously. My question is, why is she getting all of this publicity including this big write up i Guns America?
The most racist people in the world are TDS-suffering retards like these evil minded women, and CBS for airing them, that have nothing better to do than spin their ridiculous racist narrative day in and day out. Even Democrats are growing weary of it. The democrats approval rating is the lowest in history. I find it rich that she screamed for reparations until she found out her own family were slave owners.
She’s nuts. Are those real feelings or brain washed and racist comments? She obviously doesn’t know her own history or the history of the United States. More than 12,000 slaves were owned by black share croppers. Why are white people the only “bad” people when it comes to slavery discussions? Ask her why are there black only organizations, colleges and schools. Segregation. Teaching racism. Shouldn’t that be illegal? The flag stands for freedom and independence. If we trace our tree back far enough we all have ancestors that were slaves. She should definitely go live in another country so she’ll feel safer. lol
You know the funny thing is – her own family were slave owners. You never hear THAT in their racist narrative.
White people are blamed because the accusers do NOT care about the truth and most people have little understanding of history. Slavery was set up by the British Empire as one of the major economic pillars in the American Colonies. The US inherited slavery and in less that 90 years fought a costly war to end slavery, never has a civil been fought over slavery other than the US. Young Blacks and Whites have been duped by the curriculum of the ignorant perverted liars that dominate the school systems. I know you understand more than the majority by your post.
Once again Herr Hauptmann Kane you flunked history classes. In reality the British Empire outlawed slavery years before the U.S. did. In fact the Civil War was fought over slavery despite the radical Far Right denying it. In fact the Far Right still parades around with Confederate Flags on purpose to intimidate Blacks and show their hatred of Blacks.
You are also ignorant of the fact that slavery in Britain as you seem to imply “was not” a sole product of the British Empire it was practiced in white European countries as late as the late 1800’s. Samuel Baker the famous explorer in Africa bought a white Hungarian slave for a wife at a slave market while he was living in Europe.
And after the Civil War was over a large number of Far Right Racists that immigrated to South America and their decedents still live together today and are well aware of why they are there.
Go back to school Kane you never cease to make a complete fool of yourself. You are out of your league.
Wow, are you clue-less, sloppy and lazy.
I wrote about slavery in the American colonies as an economic pillar.
Did the British Monarchy end slavery in the American colonies? Answer that simple question.
Never said anything about a “sole product” you lie and then you use quotations on words I did not write in these posts (was not). You take out of context, never back up your accusations with true quotes. You are the worst person ever on this or any message board.
You proved my point. The Romanian raiders, probably the country less nomadic tumble weed dacian tribe killed her family and sold the Hungarian girl to the Turkish official. Whether Baker somehow freed the captive girl and later married her. The Muslim’s were one of the most vicious slave traders and targeted European girls.
Here is another fact; During WWII the Soviets committed the greatest mass rape including the nations of Poland, Romanian, Moldavian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Slovakian, Hungarian. Plenty of very young dacian girls and very old dacian women raped by the Communist Red Army that dacian loves so much.
Kane you know as much about European history as you know about rocket science which is zero. Your whole rant was a juvenile/racist attempt to explain the History of European race relations in a nut shell. Its not only ignorant its laughable.
The point I made was that slavery was not a British invention as you implied, it was practiced for thousands of years.
quote——-Did the British Monarchy end slavery in the American colonies? Answer that simple question.———-quote
Kane you are showing that you flunked High School History classes. When Britain ended slavery the Americans were now a separate country no longer subject to any British laws and since Britain had just lost a war with the U.S. do you think they would have invaded America over slavery? No of course not but they did indeed seize slaver ships leaving Africa no matter where they were bound or what country owned the ships. Quit trying to play pseudo Historian you are only making a complete fool of yourself (as usual).
Have you noticed that almost everything that involves being an American Sunny finds is white supremacy! I feel she need to be like some of the other celebrities and leave the country. I believe enough people will come together and buy her the Ticket.
Sunny Hostin hates America and everything we stand for, that much is obvious after watching her for some time. She should be fired.
Umm…. did you just admit to repeatedly watching that trash?
You don’t have to watch that trash to know the true. They are all disgusting human beings. It’s the new trailer-trash version of the Jerry Springer show.
Yes, I’ve watched the view. So what? It is wise to know what the enemy is thinking and saying, attentiveness isnt the same as agreement. And no, I didnt “just admit to repeatedly watching that trash”… Think what you will, your attitude is noted and logged.
If she doesn’t like then she needs to move.
Please leave America. ASAP. Don’t forget get to take your husband as he obviously is dumb as a rock for marrying you!
Anyone that says they fear the US Flag has never sought the protection of a US Embassy or Consulate when traveling abroad and faced with an emergency or simply a place where safety was assured by the presence of the Stars and Stripes.
I feel the same way about the queer flag. I don’t whine, I just deal with it.
The flag always makes “progressives” feel unsafe. Until something bad happens and they want somebody with a flag patch or pin to bail them out.
The funny thing about people who look for racism in everything is that they always seem to find it whether it exists or not.
So true….
The left constantly spins that narrative because they have nothing else positive to add to society. I work with over a 500 people, half black, and even they admit the most racist people in the world are black democrats. Go figure…🙄
It is communist, progressive criminal seditious traitorous trash, like on the PHEW, and other Hollyweird programming, that makes all of us normal Americans feel unsafe.
When is the government going to start rounding up these seditious, traitorous, communist, progressive, criminal trash, and throwing them in Guantánamo Bay or worse?!
So many OPINIONS, so much hot air. Thanks for contributing to global warming!
So much stupidity by people with letters for their name, end of the alphabet no less!
Thanks for adding to the stupidity of your kind!
I think what bothers me the most about this is the idea that some people will just automatically assume that if you carry a flag, fly a flag on your house etc, that you are somehow racist or bigoted in some way. How do we get to this point? I proudly fly my flag because it represents ALL of our country, not a select group.
Perhaps Sunny Hostin would feel safer under a flag with a hammer and sickle prominently displayed!
Send her to Iran. Let her learn what feeling “unsafe’ really means!
She should be afraid of her family history, which included slave ownership in Spain and Puerto Rico…..
She needs to find a Rainbow flag community.
Were men, are woman & woman are men, & enjoy all the mentally ill side affects they are suffering, from the drugs they are on.
Enjoy!
She is FREE TO MOVE HER FAT ASS OUT of America.
Are we seriously going to discuss this Can’t Understand Normal Thinking? The man/constitution/America/workforce hating TV show that no one with a job watches anyway? Is this seriously worth our time?
Nothing “makes” anybody anything. You chose to feel a certain way.
Perhaps Sunny can move to, say, North Korea. No American flags there.
Sonny should thank a WHITE MAN for being part of a group that put her at the top of the food chain. Instead, lefties like her take false comfort with the hateful Talmudic Communist hammer and sickle that killed hundreds of millions.
Talmudic???
Sounds kind of anti-Semitic to moi.
Should the truth about a hateful philosophy of the Talmud get a pass by hiding behind the accusation of being “anti-Semitic”?
Would you please share this philosophy so that I and others can reference it? TIA
Since the Talmud is mostly an oral record there is much debate as to how low the philosophy reaches. There is no doubt that the Talmud talks of Jesus as “Yeshu” and he was supposedly a sorcerer who performed necromancy and said that Jesus is being punished by spending eternity being “boiling excrement” (Tzoah Rotachat).
And don’t forget the Soviet tie in with the hate of the Christian Russian Empire that was according to Alexander Solzhenitsyn (1970 Noble Prize in Literature) a takeover by a minority that was not Russian but in fact Jewish Bolsheviks. Solzhenitsyn views in Jewish history in Russia are hardly unknown and difficult to dispute but often called ‘anti-Semitic.”
‘You must understand. The Ieading Bolsheviks who took over Rússia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. It cannot be overstated. Bolshevism committed the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant and uncaring about this enormous crime is proof that the global media is in the hands of the perpetrators.’
-Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Among the most hateful Jewish mass murderers were Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (fake name Lenin), Genrikh Yagoda, Nikolai Yezhov. Most likely crypto Jews were Joseph Lavrentiy Dzhugashvili (debate on the Ossetic translations are son of a Jew) (fake name Stalin) and Lavrentiy Beria. The Bolsheviks were NOT champions of the working man; they hated the Christian society of Russia.
Now your turn, is the Talmud embraced by all Judaism?
What did I post that should be considered “anti-Semitic” and why?

Once again your racism and ignorance shows. Just as Americans are combinations of many ethnic tribes so are Russians. Would you say anyone in America that is not descended from the English Immigrants on the Mayflower are not Americans? Lenin’s great grandfather was Russian but he had Mongol and Tartar in him as well so does this in your racist twisted way of thinking make him a foreigner in his own country? Your Jackboots are showing Herr Hauptmann Kane.
I will not bother to go into the ethnic background of all of the other members of the 1917 Revolution but anyone who cares to do so can spend hours doing so. Many were born in Russia, spoke Russian and lived in Russia. Your racist rant is as ignorant as it is sickening. I am sure you think anyone in America that is not White is not a “real” American. You are really sick.
“…The Germans got what they described when they finally surrendered. I personally would have starved them all to death, they were monsters not human beings…” -dacian
Hey dacian, explain why you admit on one hand that you would starve all Germans to death and flop to race does NOT matter when talking about Talmudic Communists like Lenin?
Oh honey.
Hope you thought of your Dear Mom on Mother’s Day.
Eh you know, good try Kane.
Gotta say though your identity politics and racial grievances really crack me up. You’re all over these comments like – wait for it – white on rice.
Anyway, good luck with your endeavors. Maybe you whites will catch a break someday.
Thanks for the amusing regards.
Herr Hauptman Kan you are so ignorant you are laughable. You scream about the boogie man Socialism killing people not realizing it was the Government not a humanitarian program that murdered people. You are so ignorant you do not know that South American dictators like Pinochet were rabid Capitalists yet murdered their countrymen. So according to your twisted ignorance then Capitalism would be evil as well. Put your brain in gear and think about that one for awhile.
Try Again Herr Hauptmann Kane once again you made a fool of yourself.
I have never embraced the pejorative term “Capitalism” that was used by Marx, Engels, Blanc, Proundhorn etc. You are an idiot that fails to see how empty your points are, go “howl at the moon” while wait and hope for White Americans to disappear.
Thank God the majority of White Americans are not racists like you Herr Hauptmann Kane. Your posts are always seething with rabid racism especially against Jews. Tell us Herr Hauptmann just what do you plan to do with everyone that is not White, Anglo Saxon, Protestant and Heterosexual? As if we did not know.
quote———————-. I do NOT like seeing the gay flags flying everywhere in the US that was once a had strong conservative Christian culture———–quote
Then get the hell out of our country Herr Hauptmann Kane. Kane we all know you would mimic Hitler and murder Gays if you got even half a chance because your hate for them is evident in your posts. Who the hell are you to tell someone what religion they should have or what sexual orientation they should chose. If you do not like living in Multi-Cultural, Multi-Sexual America with equal rights for everyone then quite polluting the air we breath and leave.
Quote me, I tell the truth on history and social issues. You wanted to starve German women and children to death and I have the receipts. I believe the Morals of Christianity; your ‘culture’ is Caligula revisited and there will be a steep price at some point.
