      @@valkimura1053For those of us who have studied media history, Sunny Hostin was simply stating a historical fact. Books by Hollywood history researchers like Donald Bogle and Gary Null show that hundreds of Black entertainers (not to mention scientists, athletes, models, and on and on and on and on) never got the opportunities they earned because Euro-Americans who controlled strings didn't want them to have it. That's NOT a victim story; that's just straight-up history. Don't hate the historian; hate the story. As for Billy Dee, he is fun to watch on the screen, but he has often shown an alarming and careless lack of consciousness about history--all the way back to some of his 1960s interviews. His focus was to swirl, so nothing new to see here. But just because some states are so ashamed of their history that they don't want you to learn it doesn't mean that Sunny has to act scared of history, too.

But when a clearly brown skinned man says I’m brown not black no one has to comment or question why. He’s not seeking approval or a conversation about his views they are simply his views of himself.

    So Sunny can flirt....how quickly that turned too... but her hubby can't even look at another co worker.....cool cool cool cool, gotcha, registered and understood. BTW, as an aspiring performer, what Mr. WILLIAMS about perseverance as an entertainer, being innovative, doing whatever comes your way, etc....is so true and powerful. I appreciate him more than words.

    I love how Billy politely shot back at sunny when she tried to put words in his mouth. He's not a victim and doesn't call himself black. Quit stereotyping people especially when you don't know a thing about them. If you always play the victim and race card you will be spinning your tires all your life and next thing you realize most your life has passed you bye. Good job BDW.

      If a person identifies as "black" then their default is a victim narrative? That's a pretty broad brush.
