    Hey! My favorite topic ever, Candace Owens!

    So, in the name of being sure that I understand what I understand and that I know what I know, I have actually watched a fair amount of interviews with Candace and I have even managed to watch a handful of her show on youtube.

    My big fat complaint about her and the whole Blexit bullshit is that its all about screaming about how you’re not lazy like the other blacks while talking about having a job and blaming that rap music for ruining the community. They have no actionable plan, there is no outline or vision. Its all a word salad of...“the democratic plantation...slavery was a long time ago...stop blaming the white man because you can’t get a job...racism does not exist...join the republican party because it was the democrats who invented the KKK and we all know they are the real racists”.

    If you really listen she and them arent saying anything to benefit black people...if anything its a plan to assuage white guilt and to say to a particular segment of white America “You’re ok, you’re good, you’re good and moral people, we’re the good negroes, we’re not here to change anything, we agree, we’ve been too loud and too proud”

    After going deep my conclusion is that shes a dumb, ignorant, short sighted ass whose only goal is to to be a troll jackass to push the loud and wrong agenda.

    For a long time I lumped her in with all black conservatives but shes totally different. Black conservatives operate in a traditional manner and I saw a very clear difference in stance when she interviewed Larry Elder and Robert Smith (I’m not a conservative but this brother kind of has some star power...too bad hes on the other side) and while watching those interviews I observed quite a few moments where I swear Larry or Robert wanted to say

    “Negro, fuck is you talking bout? You sounding crazy as fuck right now”

    Candace Owens is Stacey Dash after reading half of a Thomas Sowell book.

      The next time I’m inevitably stuck writing about either of these women, I’m definitely gonna have to cite Screaming Yellow Zonker Harris. Because accurate.

    She added, “The problem is 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. To me, that’s not nationalism. So in thinking about how it could go bad down the line, I don’t really have an issue with nationalism. I really don’t.”

    The problem is not that Hitler wanted to exterminate Jews but that he wanted to exterminate the Jews outside of Germany.

      Also, wanting everyone to speak German is nationalism.

      Nationalism is about being grateful for what you have and not invading I guess?

    Of course, those with a predisposition to Omar will take anything she says and infer it is 100% anti Israel. But her tweet does not call out Israel at all. It talks of a cycle of violence, which is on both sides.

    And she’s correct, the status quo is unsustainable. So I guess because she didn’t just say “ Israel should herd the palestininians out in their own trail of tears”, it’s all anti Israel.

      I am not sure if she’s right. The status quo and cycle of violence is completely sustainable.  As long as Hamas wants Jews dead and as long as the Jews live...

      I agree her tweet didn’t callout Israel, but I think she should have. A sister site to this one (Gizmodo, I think) reported that Israel bombed a building it had identified as the source of a cyberattack the other day.

      I can’t argue the damage caused by a cyberattack or Israel’s right to defend itself. I will argue that even if Israel was able to positively conclude the attack originated from the building in question, bombing the building with no thought to innocent lives is insane.

      The cyberattack could literally have been carried out by the 400lb guy Trump imagined in 2016. This isn’t mortars on the roof that which everyone in the building would hear about. It’s likely that many people all over the building had no idea someone was attacking Israel with “the cyber”. Bombing the shit out of them is even more heartless than bombing people who are aware there are mortars on the roof, but who are powerless to do a damned thing about it - including moving.

      She is absolutely right that this is unsustainable though.

    This tweet makes sense coming from the person who believes that gangs and immigrants are the biggest threat to American lives.

    On a definitely unrelated sidenote, wouldn’t it be like totally hilarious if Candace NoFriends was on the receiving end of a white neighbor’s 911 call ?

      Considering she already tried so sue someone for discrimination...yeah she’s one of those types who doesn’t believe in racism--until it happens to her.

    After her recent resignation from Turning Point USA, you would hope she would finally descend into an irrelevant abyss.

    A good way to help that happen is to stop amplifying her clownery.

      See the problem with that is....she’s fucking dangerous. It might not seem like it, but there are waves of people buying into her grift, and unabated could be incredibly troubling.

      Unless every single mainstream site all agree to knock her off, then yeah I think it’s important for at least someone to continually call her out on her bullshit.

    Candace Owens is fucking crazy and a terrible human being. A few days ago Splinter posted an article that reminded me of her, it was about a healthcare accountant who created the deductibles for healthcare plans. They advertised it as a way for patients to have “skin in the game,” (as if people were consuming too much healthcare or something), when really it was a way for companies to save money on their healthcare policies.

    Later, he said that he regretted it, because companies have abused it to the point where people *have* insurance but can’t afford to use it because their deductible is so high.

    And the reason this guy reminds me of her is because I look at them and think, “How much damage have you done, how much evil have you let into this world, so that you could make a few bucks?” This dude is probably responsible for hundreds of thousands if not millions of people being unable to afford care, and Candace Owens is out here stanning for a lot of racist shitheads who are definitely hurting people of color any way they can.

    When I was 18, I was so depressed that I contemplated suicide, and what I decided was that I had to look myself in the mirror every morning, and I had to be the guy that lived up to who I was looking at. That I needed to take my principles and beliefs and live by them, so much so that I saw them in myself every time I look in the mirror.

    How the fuck does Candace Owens look herself in the mirror? Then again, looking at those nasty split fringes in her hair, I’d bet she doesn’t look herself in the mirror at all.

      Unfortunately, empathy is not something that simply happens—it’s a learned ability. You learn it through education and by experience. People like Candace Owens, who are either privileged or sheltered beyond believe cannont, and will not think of anyone but themselves. Considering the fact that she, herself, was a victim of racism, the fact that she can’t put two and two together and realize how her experience is something that PoCs experience all the time in America is kinda ridiculous.

      I’m sure she lies to herself. I’m sure she tells herself that she’s not really doing anything wrong, that everyone screaming at her are just overly sensitive. Or, and as I’ve seen in a lot of articles about alt-righters trying to move away from the movement, maybe she’s just so far-gone the rabbit hole that she can’t really do anything else but continue the grift. If she apologizes for the things she’s done, she opens herself to attacks by the right. Her entire livelihood is dependent on shucking and jiving for white folks, and that all disappears the moment she starts to criticize the party.

      Owens is a coward. And my only hope is that she’s self-aware enough that it slowly causes her to lose it.

    I don’t think we should be calling her Auntie Ruckus. She comes off to me more like she’s his kid but when she was younger she wasn’t racist enough and didn’t get enough attention, so now she’s acting extra racist to try to finally win his approval. Plus she’s probably holding some resentment because Uncle Ruckus didn’t even want to claim her. See, then it would be on the record that he had a baby with a darkie. He couldn’t have that. He didn’t want to live with that shame instead of having a beautiful white baby with the mayosapien maidens he really loves. “My name might be Uncle Ruckus, but I ain’t no damn monkey’s uncle!”

    In other words, comparing her to her daddy would be a compliment. She’s not even on the level of that cartoon character.
