Sunny Hostin and other members of the media celebrate Kamala Harris’s membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) on "The View." They criticize a reporter for not knowing the sorority's specific "screech" or colors, framing it as a lack of respect for black female excellence. The hosts argue this focus on "representation" and sorority ties is a distraction from the lack of substantive policy for the broader black community.
Sunny Hostin and the hosts of The View defend the traditions of black sororities, noting that figures like Michelle Obama are also members of Alpha Kappa Alpha. The hosts joke about the power of these organizations and the potential risks of criticizing them publicly.
A 1928 letter from a Howard University student is read, exposing color discrimination within black fraternities and sororities. The letter describes how light-skinned students were prioritized for membership while darker students were excluded. The hosts note that Kamala Harris is an alumna of Howard and a member of the organizations mentioned in the context of the "Boule."
