"The View" host Sunny Hostin was shocked to discover her family's hidden history in a new episode of the PBS documentary show, "Finding Your Roots."
The documentary show researches prominent figures' family histories through historical records and DNA testing. On the February 6 episode, show host Henry Louis Gates Jr. revealed one of Hostin's ancestors on her maternal side was likely involved in the slave trade in colonial Spain.
Her third great-grandfather also "owned at least one human being," he said.

GREAT SCENE OF HER IN THE MOVIE DEATH OF STALIN.
Go back far enough and we are all the descendants of slave owners and slaves....almost certainly of rapists, murderers and some ancestors who were extremely selfless in helping others.
Its just a question of how far back you want to go.
That’ll balm my conscience.
THAT is what I LOVE about Louis Gates doing this to these self-righteous, pontificating POSs!!
I would bet 80% of blacks who have ancestors in America before the Civil War have slave-holders in their lineage!
Just like I would bet 90% of whites who owned slaves have blacks in their lineage!
Each of their ancestors can hate on each other all they want, but they are both just stupid hypocrites!!
Growing up in Texas, I’ve heard it said:
You look enough, you’ll find a horse thief in every family.
It’s interesting, perhaps amusing, to find out who, when and where. But it’s the last two generations that counts.
I amuse myself with Colt’s revolvers and good mountain rifles, and even the kilts my ancestors may have worn, but it is only that.
So does Barrack Hussein Obama.
He’s got a bunch of slave holding ancestors from his mother side.
His Kenyan father side slave owning history is not known, but possibly too.
In Africa there were either slaves or slave owners.

I think I read that the first recorded sale in America of an African slave was to a Black farmer.
Good! Now Sunny can have discussions and share notes on self loathing with Barry O. and Kammy Harris, and of course Joey “I see dead people” Biden.
‘’she was so righteous and pontificating how white people are so bad, she got slapped in the face’’.
Self righteousness is just a phony form of respectability.
“Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue.’’
Write yourself a check, Sunny.
The lingering outrage for many of those African-Americans who find out they had a white anestor is their suspicion (and the likellihood) that black women were coerced or raped by their owners to produce even more slaves after the U.S. declared a moratorium on importing slaves. So they continue to hate the white part of themselves.
It is a sad condition to be fixated on a past that no one can change; meanwhile, no one can know by looking at a white person, either, the grinding poverty and abuse many poor whites experienced in those same days, because human organization is heirarchical.
Even today, when DEI blowhards are trying to erase all stepladders of accomplishment, there are new heirarchies. It’s just that today’s heirarchies are based not on any measure of worth, but on hatreds.
What? You mean she isn’t going to be cancelled? She ought to lose her job, per their rules.
Disappointing? Wouldn’t that be, well, raciss?
Most of these nincompoops fail to understand that it was black Africans that captured their tribal enemies, and turned them over to the white slavers.
You look enough, you’ll find a horse thief in every family.
When my mom asked her mother about a couple of ancestors, my grandma - who was was oddly snooty, given her humble origins - told her, "Don't ask questions about things you might not like the answers to."
We eventually found enough Iowa variations on "horse thieves" on both sides of my family to fill a good sized closet with a wide variety of skeletons... and, sad to say, I have not been exactly saintly myself.
I do find it amusing when people are embarrassed by their ancestors, yet never stop to wonder if their ancestors would be equally embarrassed by them. Is there some spaniard on the other side of the veil saying, "You mean I am partly responsible for Sunny Hostin? That virtue-signalling estúpida on The View? Ay! Eso es vergonzoso!"
