Sunny Hostin’s Bold Claim: Is Criticizing Woke Culture Really “Un-Godly”?
On a recent episode of The View, Sunny Hostin stirred the pot by declaring that opposing woke culture is “un-Godly” and “not Christian.” Alongside co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Ana Navarro, Hostin passionately argued that resisting woke ideology means turning a blind eye to human suffering.
Hostin kicked things off by lamenting how conservatives have twisted the term “woke” into something negative. She reminded everyone that it originally came from the African American community as a call to recognize social justice issues. For her, being woke is about caring for others and acting on their behalf. “It’s not a bad thing to care about other people,” she insisted.
Hostin escalated her argument, suggesting that those who push back against woke culture are indifferent to marginalized communities. Her words were pointed: “That’s telling me that you don’t care about my lived experience… And that is un-Godly, that is not Christian.”
Ana Navarro chimed in with her own critique, accusing conservatives of hypocrisy while wearing religious symbols. Whoopi Goldberg added her two cents, claiming exposure to woke culture forces necessary confrontations with uncomfortable truths.
But here’s the kicker: Is rejecting woke ideology really about lacking compassion and morality? Or is it about pushing back against what many see as an overreach in modern social justice activism?
Hostin and her co-hosts frame wokeness as pure kindness and justice. Yet this view sidesteps the controversies making it such a hot topic today. Critics argue opposition isn’t about shunning fairness but rejecting constant language changes, silencing dissent, identity politics obsessions, and radical policies lacking common sense.
When Hostin suggests anti-wokeness defies Christian values, she overlooks many religious Americans who feel it’s their duty to oppose what they see as an ideology more focused on control than justice. They argue wokeness demands strict adherence where disagreement isn’t tolerated—where dissenters are often vilified by those preaching tolerance yet showing little themselves.
