The political posture of the Obamas remained the same.What is wrong is to suck up to Fox and clam you didn’t see racism before ObamaThere is no proof of thatI have yet to see any significant change in black support of TrumpWTF?Owens claimed she was “traumatized” by the racist taunts of a 14 year old white boy.NAACP defended Candace Owens when she needed it. Got her a $37,000 settlementI wonder how Candace will deflect away from this....
As much as it may delight the closet racists in the GOP to hear Candace tell them that she never encountered any race issues in her life....
She will have to explain why she asked the NAACP to help her sue her school over racial bullying....
"Scot X. Esdaile, the Connecticut NAACP president who helped Owens with her lawsuit, was shocked to hear Owens become a conservative. Esdaile told Mic in 2018, “We’re very saddened and disappointed in her. It seems to me that she’s now trying to play to a different type of demographic.” He also said, “It’s the same type of thing Clarence Thomas did. [Thomas] reaped all the benefits of affirmative action and then tried to roll over on it. It’s that kind of mentality and disrespect.” Owens now calls the NAACP “one of the worst groups for Black people,” even though the organization helped her win a racial discrimination lawsuit."
Candace Owens Says She Never Had 'Race Issues' Even Though She Sued For Racial Discrimination
The NAACP helped Candace Owens win a lawsuit where she claimed she was racially harassed, now she says she never had "race issues" growing up.newsone.com
I thought the NAACP’s mission was to support the advancement of all colored people? What happens when a person of color becomes conservative? Are they no longer eligible for support from the NAACP?

Candace Owens Says She Never Had 'Race Issues' Even Though She Sued For Racial Discrimination

She threw them under the bus
The lawsuit says she was being threatened by white boys. Like or dislike Owens, the mission of the NAACP is that they should assist her or any other person in that situation. Does that mean Owens is then forbiddened to disagree with the organization? If so, then you just validated my point that support from the NAACP is conditional.
10 years later she told Fox she had never experienced racism
When and where did she say this? Do you have a link?
Candace Owens tells Fox News race wasnât an issue when she was younger, but she seems to be forgetting something
Turning Point USA’s Candace Owens talked to Fox News host Laura Ingraham about how Democrats, ahead of the 2016 election, were “laying down the groundwork...www.marketwatch.com
I thought so. I did a quick search myself and came across this article and wondered if this was what you were referring to. I'm sorry but I have to say, that is not what she said.
She said: "I do not remember when I was growing up having all of these race issues."
She did not say she never experienced racism herself and, contrary to what IM2 says, she never said racism doesn't exist.
Saying "race issues" is not the same as saying "racism". What she's saying is that the subject of racism and race issues were not as prominent and had not gripped the country as it has in the last few years. Not even you can deny this.
I don't know if Owens has ever said anything along these lines but I and a lot of other people are getting sick and tired of people seeing racism in everything from movie roles to a bowl of corn flakes. It is a major source of frustration and anger for people like myself and Owens.
She never experienced any “race issues” until the Evil Black Man Obama but she had no problem pocketing $37,000 because she was so traumatized by racism
She is a con artist whose new scam is bilking Conservatives
Wrong. Again, she said: "...all of these race issues...". She did not say there were never race issues before and she did not say she never experienced racism.
Not even you can deny that race and racism was not as prominent an issue in this country when she had her experience as it is now. The whole country has gone batshit crazy on the issue to the point that we're seeing and hearing accusations every day by celebs, politicians and others and most of the time they're frivolous.
If you refuse to interpret Owens' remarks the way they were meant because you think she's an Uncle Tom then perhaps you'll accept my words the way they're meant: There is racism in this country. There was then and there is now. But is the issue of racism more prevalent and at the fore of the national conscience now than it was ten, fifteen years ago? Absolutely. Are we seeing more accusations and allegations of racism now than we did then? Absolutely. Are some of these accusations spurious and false? Absolutely.
So you see, it's possible to acknowledge that racism exists while at the same time decrying the hysteria and paranoia that has sprung up around the issue.
Racism itself is damaging enough. But when people are seeing racism where there is none and making kneejerk accusations because of a misunderstanding or lack of information, it is even more damaging.
I was called a liar by IM2 because I'm white and he called me racist for nothing more than disagreeing with him. JoeB calls me racist for defending Nick Sandmann when Sandmann did nothing but stand there and smile at a guy who got in his face unprovoked.
These are just a couple of personal examples but it shows how it has gotten completely out of control and it is damaging lives of those who don't deserve it.
Why do Conservatives struggle so much with our language?
Why do liberals?
It's simple English composition and it's a simple comment with no room for interpretation. Seriously, how do you get "I never experienced racism" out of "I do not remember when I was growing up (the country) having all of these race issues."? (insert is mine)
Of course it does. But I'm not the one constraining the context, you are.
"Race issue" entails any matter pertaining to race relations. Ergo, this involves people saying a decorative cotton plant is racist or that a white person with dreadlocks is race or cultural appropriation.
Before ten to fifteen years ago we hardly ever heard these kinds of ridiculous claims and accusations and now we hear them every fucking day.
I am honestly baffled as to how you can look at the fact that race issues, accusations and allegations have exploded in the last few years and not know what Owens is talking about. You're not stupid so you know this as well as I do.
Knowing that other blacks have switched parties and changed their minds about Trump while not receiving a dime to do so, I fail to see your point.
Does that make it a “race issue”?
Sigh That's not the point. The point is, other blacks have switched parties and/or changed their minds about Trump and none of them have gained anything from it except disdain from other blacks. In fact, many were conservatives and supported Trump from the beginning. So this argument that Owens only switched for the money is specious.
The fact that Owens has a history of demanding payment for racial discrimination, started a far left website that was critical of Trump, shut it down and emerged six months later as an arch conservative and FoxNews darling is not suspicious to you?
Why is it wrong to demand payment from a school system that failed to protect you from violent racist threats? You have a problem with that simply because she is conservative.
Like Michelle Obama and Obama becoming President, Candace Owens simply had a “for the first time in my life” episode. If it was good enough and acceptable for Michelle, it’s good enough and acceptable for Candace.
Owens, like Trump, jumped sides when they saw there was money to be made by pandering to Conservatived
