Candace Cameron Bure on racism in America: 'I want to be part of the answer'

Actress Candace Cameron Bure said white people can still have a compassionate heart and that "she wants to be part of the solution" amid America's ongoing issues of racial injustice.

The TV personality, who shot to fame for her role in "Full House," claimed it's still possible for a white American to care for colored people and other races.

"Doesn't mean I may not understand it from the personal level that you [Sunny Hostin] will, but I want to be part of the answer. I think we all do," said co-host Bure during a panel discussion for ABC's morning talk show "The View."

Former assistant United States Attorney Sunny Hostin, who acted as panelist for the show, just said that Bure doesn't have to contend with the same worries that black American parents have for their children growing up in the U.S.

The recent killings of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge and Philando Castile in Minnesota that revived the Black Lives Matter protests also highlighted the daily threats black people face in America.

Bure shot back by staking claims that she also has black relatives and friends whom she cared for. While she conceded that she doesn't have to worry over police treatment on her two teenage sons, 16-year-old Lev and 14-year-old Maksim, it doesn't automatically mean her "heart isn't compassionate."

She added, "The bottom line is it starts with our communities. Each of us taking the responsibility on ourselves. Whether you're white, black, Asian, old, young, Christian, Muslim — whatever. And we deal with it together as a community, and have these conversations and invite people that maybe are out of our comfort zone in to have that conversation."

The discussion sparked from New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's controversial comments that blamed most of the murders of black Americans on the black people and accused the Black Lives Matter movement as divisive and "inherently racist."

Actor Omari Hardwick accused the NYC mayor for ignorance while NBC's "Late Night" host Seth Meyers blasted Giuliani and told him to "shut the f**k up."
