I recently shared her now infamous George Floyd video on social media and two black people and two social justice warriors hell bent on scoring white knight points completely threw a fit about it.

After being referred to as a racist, I went back and clarified my stance that both sides of this great argument need to take accountability for their actions (something Owens speaks frequently about). You can imagine how that went over, I was racist yet again.

Anyways I really like her and her stance/perception on these matters. She has apparently been ex-communicated from the black community for her “We need to do our part” mentality as well.

Let’s be honest, she’s pretty cute too.

Thoughts?

She's very intelligent, and I agree with many of her takes and stances. But her issue is her abrasiveness, she does a lot for shock value but if her goal is to communicate or get buy in from the a African American community she'd be better served to soften the rhetoric some.

I agree. She’s sort of a black Ann Coulter. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but they can both be very strident, binary and jingoistic.

I have intentionally stayed away from her infamous comments just for the fact that many of her most recent comments are like nails on a chalkboard.

But, if what is highlighted above is true, I will listen to what she said and give my opinion. I'll just tell you that I'm already going in with a bias, however.

I like hearing from Candace. I don't always agree with her but she is sharp as a tack and she rips the democrats she debates a new one almost every time.

Candace, like most black conservatives, is a former democrat. She talks a lot about Blexit. The black exit from the democratic party. Leaving the liberal plantation is not easy and takes a lot of introspection and courage because you will get ostracized. If you study her enough she will walk you through when the light bulb came on for her.

She also explains how the democratic party has dominated the black vote. She is scary for those that want to continue the lies and continue profiting from the victimization of the black community.

I feel like she is paraded out too much as "see? A black person feels like this!" chess piece but I commend her for speaking an unpopular opinion and not budging.
Unfortunetly, there really is no other option if you want to have a conversation with someone on the left about any real topic, especially about race, in a public forum. Which we are clearly at our last gasps of breath at an actual dialog, but someone has to be able to get past "You can't understand because of your white privilege." Might as well be her. There are plenty of black conservatives with more academic and articulate views than her, but there is a time and place for everything.

This. Good post saved me time.

Much like Ben Carson etc etc she is branded an Uncle Tom, Oreo, and any other synonym of the day.....for getting an education, speaking about what the Dem policies have done to black folks, being smart and articulate, and above ALL else championing personal responsibility rather than victimhood.

THAT is the deadliest sin. She is insulted by affirmative action (as one should be) and doesnt make excuses for some very uncomfortable to discuss problems in our communities, families, and within each person. HONESTY is what really pizzes the Dems off ....every time she makes a wise statement on twitter etc it is HILARIOUS to watch the SJW white folks try to tell HER how she is oppressed, held back, and victimized.

Always good for a laugh

Candace has a key position with Turning Point USA. She is young and has a keen understanding of how liberals have won the cultural war. Her work on college campuses is vital that more experienced voices might not be able to reach.

I would like to see her take a softer approach at times. Something I can learn to do myself.

If you listen to Candace she talks about the American dream and hiw black America can be apart of it. A positive message. That is common among black conservatives. You'll notice black liberals talk about blacks in terms of victimization and racism. About every time.

Btw, I love listening to David Webb.

Coulter is a carnival barker, masquerading as an intellectual. Surprised she hasn't yet found her place in the Trump administration. Maybe acting Secretary of Shrillness if he wins again?

It’s encouraging that more people of Candace Owen’ persuasion are coming forward. As far as her demeanor, I would argue that the “soft” or “gentle” approach that conservatives have employed for years has been an utter failure while the screaming leftists have gotten their way for years. The conservatives need a lot more street fighters and fewer choir boys.

She's definitely been tagged by some group as a enemy. Couple of friends on Facebook posted some copy/pasted text that read like it came off whitepeopleareracistdotcom about why white people shouldn't post or share Candace Owens videos.

I opened this thread expecting it would be about smashing or not smashing...but it's actually about viewpoints. Interesting.

Is this the same candace owens that said hitlers actions were noble? The same woman that says that racism doesn't exist, after she enlisted the help of the NAACP to sue the Stamford Public Schools for racial harassment. Shes a grifter. Shes an intellectual lightweight.

Do better, that's the misquote of a lifetime.

Sure seems to do well with prepared statements and the talking points she's repeated many times. She doesn't appear to have more than a superficial understanding of much though

"You know, he was a National Socialist, but if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay fine," she said. "The problem is he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize. He wanted everybody to be German."

She knows her audience. They eat it up.

Good job proving his point Cletus.

"I think that the definition gets poisoned by elitists that actually want globalism. Globalism is what I don't want," Owens said. "Whenever we say 'nationalism,' the first thing people think about, at least in America, is Hitler. You know, he was a national socialist, but if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, OK, fine."

She continued, "The problem is that he wanted — he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize. He wanted everybody to be German, everybody to be speaking German. Everybody to look a different way. That's not, to me, that's not nationalism. In thinking about how we could go bad down the line, I don't really have an issue with nationalism. I really don't. I think that it's OK."

I don’t think she’s big enough for everyone to stand on. Also that’s rude and potentially unsafe.

She is smart. She knows there is a niche for a black person to say racist crap that white people can't get away with. Dumb racists eat that up. Its a lucrative field if you don't mind selling your soul for a few dollars.

She won a discrimination settlement before her money grabbing no racism heel-turn.

Cute? really?

You have an issue with reading comprehension. She said what Hitler was doing in Germany was "fine"....the problem is that he wanted to Globalize. He wanted everyone to look a certain way.

Of course when I wrote that she said Hitlers actions were noble, that is paraphrasing. Do you know what paraphrasing means?

I don't know too many black people that look to candace owens as an authority on social issues.
