WATCH: TheView host says Martin Luther King Jr. was a 'radical' who wanted 'reparations'
According to The View's Sunny Hostin, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a"radical" who believed in the redistribution of wealth and reparations for black people.
"We always hear this, 'I want my little girls and boys to be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.' That’s all you ever hear anyone saying, but he was a radical. He was deeply invested in economic equality, and he was deeply invested in making sure that black people got reparations and that there was wealth distribution — redistribution," Hostin added.
Whoopi Goldberg chimed in, telling her co-hosts that the banking system needs to be changed because it"was not set up for black people."
