The article critiques Hostin&#8217;s remarks as lacking factual grounding when considering these statistics. it also criticizes &#8220;The View&#8221; as being more about generating controversy and

inspired by the Fourth of July weekend to give a tremendously nonsensical take that in no way is reflective of reality.<\/p>\n<p>As the country celebrated its 250th anniversary of declaring independence from Great Britain, most gatherings were unapologetically patriotic, with massive fireworks displays across the country and plenty of proud Americans flying the Stars and Stripes.<\/p>\n<p>On that latter point, \u201cThe View\u201d couldn\u2019t leave a good thing alone, as co-host Sonny Hostin told the panel during Monday\u2019s show that the flag makes her feel unsafe \u2014 before she went into a diatribe about race in America.<\/p>\n<p>After noting this point had been previously made, Hostin told the audience, \u201cThere are times when I walk into a community and I see American flags all over the community and I suddenly feel unsafe because there\u2019s a section of this country that has coopted the American flag and they equate being an American or an American flag with white supremacy and that should never be the symbol of white supremacy, but they have weaponized\u201d it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\"

American flag, she\u2019s apparently in danger.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a strange take to say the least, but statistically, Hostin doesn\u2019t need to worry so much about white people hurting her.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/vpc.org\/when-men-murder-women-black-females\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Violence Policy Center<\/a>, the kind of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >anti-gun group liberals<\/a> like Hostin would tend to follow, black women who are victims of violence are more likely to be victimized by someone close \u2014 a \u201cspouse, an intimate acquaintance, or a family member than by a stranger.\u201d And that, obviously, means that the vast majority are targeted by offenders who are black themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Citing statistics from 2020, the Violence Policy Center noted that, \u201cOf Black victims who knew their offenders, 56 percent (259 out of 464) were wives, common-law wives, ex-wives, or girlfriends of the offenders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And then there was this staggering statistic: \u201cNinety-one percent (584 out of 641) of the homicides of Black females were intra-racial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIntra-racial,\u201d as in, members of the same race.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, black women are roughly nine times more likely to be killed by a black offender than a white one.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, no one wants a white supremacist as a neighbor, but to act like white people are this looming threat to black women does not withstand scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>Will Hostin be back Tuesday to tell everyone she\u2019s done her homework and that she\u2019s actually afraid of black America?<\/p>\n<p>Of course not. \u201cThe View\u201d is not about informing audiences.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s about being mad and spouting nonsense.<\/p>\n<p>Recall a remark by co-host Joy Behar in March 2025 when she nearly said \u2014 on-air \u2014 that she hoped President Donald Trump would buy a rocket from then-Department of Government Efficiency Chairman Elon Musk, board it, and that it would explode.<\/p>\n<p>Co-host Whoopi Goldberg saved her from enduring a Secret

While Americans celebrated 250 years of independence with fireworks and patriotic displays nationwide, co-host Sonny Hostin claimed that seeing American flags makes her feel unsafe-linking it to white supremacy. She argued that some communities have misappropriated the flag, equating it with racism and weaponizing it against her as a Black woman. However, statistics show that Black women are far more likely to be harmed by Black offenders than by white supremacists or white individuals. For example, data from 2020 indicates over half of Black victims who knew their attackers were involved with intimate partners or family members, and most homicides of Black women are intra-racial. Despite this evidence, Hostin\u2019s claim about feeling threatened by American flags due to white supremacy remains unfounded. \u201cThe View\u201d often seems more interested in sensationalism than factual accuracy; past remarks include near-incidents like Joy Behar joking about President Trump being targeted by Elon Musk\u2019s rocket.
