Candace Owens to run for office.

Why are liberals so upset that conservatives have a Black Woman as a lead? Are they that amazed.... to the level that Biden and Reid were in 2008 that their own party could elect a black candidate that was “clean and articulate without the dialect?”

What is she running for? Dog catcher. Come on LOL you guys claim to support her, let's see what happens when you get in the voting booth.

I voted for Ben Carson over Donald Trump in the ‘16 primary. My dream was to have Herman Cain run against Obama in ‘12 so we could get to the post racial era Obama kept promising.
 
I 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."


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?
NAACP defended Candace Owens when she needed it. Got her a $37,000 settlement

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.
Owens claimed she was “traumatized” by the racist taunts of a 14 year old white boy.

10 years later she told Fox she had never experienced racism

When and where did she say this? Do you have a link?



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.
WTF?

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)

Racism does not qualify as a “race issue”?

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.

She cashed in her $37,000 payout the year before Obama was elected. Then claimed Obama was responsible for the race issues in this country?

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.
I have yet to see any significant change in black support of Trump

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.
There is no proof of that

Oh, so now you want proof after making an entirely subjective judgment about why Owens switched parties. Incredible.

The fact that Owens has a history of demanding payment for racial discrimination,

A "history" of demanding payment for racial discrimination? It was just the one lawsuit, was it not?

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 would it be? I leaned left myself at one time and eventually became a conservative. So what?

So are you telling me that being a victim of white discrimination and bashing Trump paid off for her so she decided to, what, go in the completely opposite direction out of greed?

Seems to me that remaining a Democrat racism victim would have been more lucrative.
No, it didn't pay off for her you dunce...

$37,000.

This is why she switched.....if it paid off for her --- you would have known who she was "BEFORE" then.....because she would have been yet another black liberal whom you folks love to demonize....

And now she's a black conservative whom you folks love to demonize....

Tell me, what is the moral difference between conservatives demonizing a black liberal and liberals demonizing a black conservative?

But ironically, it wasn't until she started putting on a minstrel show for the entertainment of closet racists did she become popular.....and due to the thirst and desperation of closet racists to find them a black minstrel that they can use to say "hey, we're not racist, we have a black woman ...look at her" -- ONLY because of that desperation did she instantly become a millionaire...

Wait, is she a millionaire? If so, how do you know this?

And what is her claim to fame?? Did she work with conservative politicians and think tanks to get some major policy initiatives passed? Nope....she is famous because she is a black woman saying things closet racists wish they could say....

She's famous because she's a black woman saying things that few other blacks are saying. That's it. And do you know who is partly responsible for making her famous? People like you. All of your bitter vitriol and your hypocritical judgments against her accomplished nothing more than shoring up support for her from conservatives and making her even more famous.

Now just think about it.....for someone who has had a history of bashing conservatives as racist, bashing Trump -- you would think a person like that would have to prove themselves for at least a couple of years before her so-called conversion can be taken seriously --- and not some grift.....but again, since closet racists are so desperate to find them a black minstrel -- they didn't even bother to ask about her past....

Did you bother to ask her? What do you actually know about this woman other than that she now expresses a viewpoint you disagree with?

This is also the same reason this guy did a similar thing....and now he is famous ONLY for claiming he is a thug -- but a thug for Trump....and morons like yourself pour money into his pockets too.....and this guy basically admits he is doing it for the money...and yall still don't care....
View attachment 320595

Morons like myself? I don't even know who the fuck this guy is let alone gave him any money.

Get your facts straight before making these kinds of allegations.

Let me make it simple for you......this black woman was able to scam Trumpers out of thousands and thousands of dollars just because she pretended to be a Trump supporter who was being attacked by the "left" --- and since these Trumpers are so desperate to buy into this "Walkaway" nonsense -- they fell for it.....that is ONLY possible when your party is so unpopular among black folks -- that just announcing you are a black republican gets you treated like a celebrity...



I couldn't help but notice that you reserve all your revulsion and disdain for those who believed her scam rather than for the person who perpetrated the scam. Even the author himself says at one point: "Everyone loves a good scam and she seemed to be scamming the right people."

"Everyone loves a good scam"? What color is the sky where this idiot lives? And "...scamming the right people."? So it's morally okay to scam conservatives?

It is precisely this kind of hypocrisy that compels people like Owens to switch allegiances. But you'd rather believe that they do so out of malice and greed because it's easier for you.
Because I have no sympathy for people who are willfully ignorant to the point they will let a conman scam them...i.e. Trump voters...

"Willfully ignorant"? You just accused me, without evidence or even attempting to ascertain the truth, of putting money in the pockets of some guy I never heard of. It doesn't get more willfully ignorant than that.

Which is why I will also have ZERO SYMPATHY when those same Trump sycophants go thru another rebranding operation to convince the rest of us that they really didn't like Trump like that..."I didn't like his tweets" -- "He wasn't really a conservative" -- "I'm an independent now!!"

The same rebranding effort that we saw after the Bush years

Let's not be coy. I think what you really mean to say is that you have no sympathy for Trump supporters who get scammed. That being the case, your morals are up for grabs.

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.
What is wrong is to suck up to Fox and clam you didn’t see racism before Obama

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.
The political posture of the Obamas remained the same.

Owens, like Trump, jumped sides when they saw there was money to be made by pandering to Conservatived

Candace Owens does not try and hide the fact that she grew up liberal and flipped. Trump was a Democrat for years ripping on Republicans. The Obamas, however, are not as transparent. Obama had to be reminded by George Stephanopoulos on National TV the he was Christian, not Muslim.
BS

Show me the tape

No aspect of witnessing every day life provides that sort of info for any of us do will reject as Fake,
The idea that black men spend more time with kids they fathered when 80% of them do not live in the home is so utterly preposterly ridiculous that tears of laughter are running down my face
Since that 80 percent figure is untrue. I'll just chalk up your ignorance to racism.
Provide a corroborating source that’s not limited to 5 year old and under. Not talking about drop in dad’s, talking about ones who live in the home
You can attribute your response to racism and mine to eyes wide open and fact trumping feeling and wish

Quite a metamorphosis from Owens

From arch Liberal to arch Conservative in a few months

You do realize that she's not the only black person to make the switch, yes? And you do realize that other blacks who switched received no money for doing so, right?

What positive message has Candace really given too anyone?

It goes without saying that if you don't agree with her views, it will not be a positive message to you.

And continuing with the greed line of argument continues to ignore the fact that other blacks have switched with no financial gain.

Name a few.

I will when you give me proof that Owens only switched out of greed.

She learned the Diamond and Silk lesson

There is one thing that neither you, IM2 or any other Candace Owens-hater has bothered to do to gain some actual knowledge and perspective on this: Ask her.


You have. So what did she say?

We are still waiting for her to tell us what time period America was great for black folks, for some odd reason she couldn't answer that question.



This is irrelevant to the question I asked. I asked if anyone ever asked her why she switched.

Besides, I saw that video. Every time she tried to answer the idiot kept shouting her down. Sorry, but this one doesn't cut it.

What do you actually know about this transition of hers other than that it seemed (to you) to happen so quickly? Don't give me "It looks suspicious" or speculation, assumption and conjecture. What do you actually know?

She claims she has never experienced any racism, which was found to not be true.

Wrong. She never made that claim.

“Obama did a lot to tear this country apart. I do not remember when I was growing up, having all these race issues, okay? I really don’t remember it. And suddenly, toward the end of Obama, we started hearing all of this rhetoric drummed up. It became White versus Black all over again. I shouldn’t even say all over again because when I was alive, it was not an issue. It all became about race. Candace Owens.

I see nowhere in this quote that she said she never experienced racism.

The subject of race, racism and cultural appropriation have gripped this country like it never has before, even when she was a victim of racism. This is what she was talking about.

She didn't say racism was not an issue, she said race was not an issue like it is today. Meaning, we've never had this level of accusations, allegations and paranoia about race. We didn't have the problem we have today of people making issues about race that are not.

The way Owens and people like myself see it, racism exists. However, the number of people being publicly accused of racism has skyrocketed. People are being accused of racism for everything from smiling at an elderly Native American to not showing the proper level of contrition for white privilege. We're being hounded from all directions and usually it's for the most ridiculous reasons imaginable.

This switch she has done is just like those 2 boot licking clowns Diamond and Silk, it is any opportunity for a financial gain.

Did Diamond and Silk switch or were they always conservatives?

What did they switch from?

Ask him, he's the one who said it.

Owens claimed she was “traumatized” by the racist taunts of a 14 year old white boy.

10 years later she told Fox she had never experienced racism

When and where did she say this? Do you have a link?



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.
WTF?

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.

Racism does not qualify as a “race issue”?

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.

She cashed in her $37,000 payout the year before Obama was elected. Then claimed Obama was responsible for the race issues in this country?

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.
I have yet to see any significant change in black support of Trump

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.
There is no proof of that

Oh, so now you want proof after making an entirely subjective judgment about why Owens switched parties. Incredible.

The fact that Owens has a history of demanding payment for racial discrimination,

A "history" of demanding payment for racial discrimination? It was just the one lawsuit, was it not?

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 would it be? I leaned left myself at one time and eventually became a conservative. So what?

So are you telling me that being a victim of white discrimination and bashing Trump paid off for her so she decided to, what, go in the completely opposite direction out of greed?

Seems to me that remaining a Democrat racism victim would have been more lucrative.
Quite a metamorphosis from Owens

From arch Liberal to arch Conservative in a few months

You do realize that she's not the only black person to make the switch, yes? And you do realize that other blacks who switched received no money for doing so, right?

What positive message has Candace really given too anyone?

It goes without saying that if you don't agree with her views, it will not be a positive message to you.

And continuing with the greed line of argument continues to ignore the fact that other blacks have switched with no financial gain.

Name a few.

I will when you give me proof that Owens only switched out of greed.

She learned the Diamond and Silk lesson

There is one thing that neither you, IM2 or any other Candace Owens-hater has bothered to do to gain some actual knowledge and perspective on this: Ask her.


You have. So what did she say?

We are still waiting for her to tell us what time period America was great for black folks, for some odd reason she couldn't answer that question.



This is irrelevant to the question I asked. I asked if anyone ever asked her why she switched.

Besides, I saw that video. Every time she tried to answer the idiot kept shouting her down. Sorry, but this one doesn't cut it.

What do you actually know about this transition of hers other than that it seemed (to you) to happen so quickly? Don't give me "It looks suspicious" or speculation, assumption and conjecture. What do you actually know?

She claims she has never experienced any racism, which was found to not be true.

Wrong. She never made that claim.

“Obama did a lot to tear this country apart. I do not remember when I was growing up, having all these race issues, okay? I really don’t remember it. And suddenly, toward the end of Obama, we started hearing all of this rhetoric drummed up. It became White versus Black all over again. I shouldn’t even say all over again because when I was alive, it was not an issue. It all became about race. Candace Owens.

I see nowhere in this quote that she said she never experienced racism.

The subject of race, racism and cultural appropriation have gripped this country like it never has before, even when she was a victim of racism. This is what she was talking about.

She didn't say racism was not an issue, she said race was not an issue like it is today. Meaning, we've never had this level of accusations, allegations and paranoia about race. We didn't have the problem we have today of people making issues about race that are not.

The way Owens and people like myself see it, racism exists. However, the number of people being publicly accused of racism has skyrocketed. People are being accused of racism for everything from smiling at an elderly Native American to not showing the proper level of contrition for white privilege. We're being hounded from all directions and usually it's for the most ridiculous reasons imaginable.

This switch she has done is just like those 2 boot licking clowns Diamond and Silk, it is any opportunity for a financial gain.

Did Diamond and Silk switch or were they always conservatives?

What did they switch from?

Ask him, he's the one who said it.

When another conservative called her out about her RECENT past and her attempt to start a site meant to dox people who she accused of "bullying" (This was when she was a "liberal") -- conseratives and liberals called her out on it....and Candace cried victim.....

"Nearly two weeks later, Owens posted a bizarre attack on me on her now-defunct blog [Social Autopsy] -- and interpreted my lack of allegiance to any political tribe as chameleon-like lack of identity. Is it possible that Owens has changed and grown up? I doubt it. She is still lying about the Social Autopsy fiasco"


 
Why are liberals so upset that conservatives have a Black Woman as a lead? Are they that amazed.... to the level that Biden and Reid were in 2008 that their own party could elect a black candidate that was “clean and articulate without the dialect?”

What is she running for? Dog catcher. Come on LOL you guys claim to support her, let's see what happens when you get in the voting booth.

I voted for Ben Carson over Donald Trump in the ‘16 primary. My dream was to have Herman Cain run against Obama in ‘12 so we could get to the post racial era Obama kept promising.

Ben Carson and Herman Cain, it pretty much speaks for itself.
 
I 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.

Correct, they only talk about the black folks they would vote for until they get into the voting booth.
Republicans have only elected eight blacks to higher office in the last 100 years.

Candace doesn’t have a prayer
 
Which office? No idea, but whatever it is...GOOD!!! Should piss off ol IM2, too. :D

Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO

12h

I’m now honestly considering running for office. Never had any desire to previously, but something changed in me last night. Had a conversation with my husband and I think it’s a plan.

Good for her.

And might I add, anyone who doesn't support her is a racist. The left taught me this.

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.
What is wrong is to suck up to Fox and clam you didn’t see racism before Obama

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.
The political posture of the Obamas remained the same.

Owens, like Trump, jumped sides when they saw there was money to be made by pandering to Conservatived

Candace Owens does not try and hide the fact that she grew up liberal and flipped. Trump was a Democrat for years ripping on Republicans. The Obamas, however, are not as transparent. Obama had to be reminded by George Stephanopoulos on National TV the he was Christian, not Muslim.
BS

Show me the tape
 
I 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."


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?
NAACP defended Candace Owens when she needed it. Got her a $37,000 settlement

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.
Owens claimed she was “traumatized” by the racist taunts of a 14 year old white boy.

10 years later she told Fox she had never experienced racism

When and where did she say this? Do you have a link?



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.
WTF?

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)

Racism does not qualify as a “race issue”?

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.

She cashed in her $37,000 payout the year before Obama was elected. Then claimed Obama was responsible for the race issues in this country?

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.
I have yet to see any significant change in black support of Trump

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.
There is no proof of that

Oh, so now you want proof after making an entirely subjective judgment about why Owens switched parties. Incredible.

The fact that Owens has a history of demanding payment for racial discrimination,

A "history" of demanding payment for racial discrimination? It was just the one lawsuit, was it not?

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 would it be? I leaned left myself at one time and eventually became a conservative. So what?

So are you telling me that being a victim of white discrimination and bashing Trump paid off for her so she decided to, what, go in the completely opposite direction out of greed?

Seems to me that remaining a Democrat racism victim would have been more lucrative.
Quite a metamorphosis from Owens

From arch Liberal to arch Conservative in a few months

You do realize that she's not the only black person to make the switch, yes? And you do realize that other blacks who switched received no money for doing so, right?

What positive message has Candace really given too anyone?

It goes without saying that if you don't agree with her views, it will not be a positive message to you.

And continuing with the greed line of argument continues to ignore the fact that other blacks have switched with no financial gain.

Name a few.

I will when you give me proof that Owens only switched out of greed.

She learned the Diamond and Silk lesson

There is one thing that neither you, IM2 or any other Candace Owens-hater has bothered to do to gain some actual knowledge and perspective on this: Ask her.


You have. So what did she say?

We are still waiting for her to tell us what time period America was great for black folks, for some odd reason she couldn't answer that question.



This is irrelevant to the question I asked. I asked if anyone ever asked her why she switched.

Besides, I saw that video. Every time she tried to answer the idiot kept shouting her down. Sorry, but this one doesn't cut it.

What do you actually know about this transition of hers other than that it seemed (to you) to happen so quickly? Don't give me "It looks suspicious" or speculation, assumption and conjecture. What do you actually know?

She claims she has never experienced any racism, which was found to not be true.

Wrong. She never made that claim.

“Obama did a lot to tear this country apart. I do not remember when I was growing up, having all these race issues, okay? I really don’t remember it. And suddenly, toward the end of Obama, we started hearing all of this rhetoric drummed up. It became White versus Black all over again. I shouldn’t even say all over again because when I was alive, it was not an issue. It all became about race. Candace Owens.

I see nowhere in this quote that she said she never experienced racism.

The subject of race, racism and cultural appropriation have gripped this country like it never has before, even when she was a victim of racism. This is what she was talking about.

She didn't say racism was not an issue, she said race was not an issue like it is today. Meaning, we've never had this level of accusations, allegations and paranoia about race. We didn't have the problem we have today of people making issues about race that are not.

The way Owens and people like myself see it, racism exists. However, the number of people being publicly accused of racism has skyrocketed. People are being accused of racism for everything from smiling at an elderly Native American to not showing the proper level of contrition for white privilege. We're being hounded from all directions and usually it's for the most ridiculous reasons imaginable.

This switch she has done is just like those 2 boot licking clowns Diamond and Silk, it is any opportunity for a financial gain.

Did Diamond and Silk switch or were they always conservatives?

What did they switch from?

Ask him, he's the one who said it.

When another conservative called her out about her RECENT past and her attempt to start a site meant to dox people who she accused of "bullying" (This was when she was a "liberal") -- conseratives and liberals called her out on it....and Candace cried victim.....

"Nearly two weeks later, Owens posted a bizarre attack on me on her now-defunct blog [Social Autopsy] -- and interpreted my lack of allegiance to any political tribe as chameleon-like lack of identity. Is it possible that Owens has changed and grown up? I doubt it. She is still lying about the Social Autopsy fiasco"



I'm not sure that any of this is evidence that she switched parties for money.

Are you so brain damaged that you can't see the hypocrisy of a person who tells white people today how racism wasn't a problem when she was younger even though she filed a suit against a school district for racism when she was younger?

My brain is alive and well exposing you people who have no problem smearing a Black girl who experienced real racism and now ignore her rights to advancement and protection because of her political views. That is hypocrisy.

You are a brain dead hypocrite. Candice Owens is over 30 yeasrs old. That's and adult woman. She said that racism was not a problem when she was young. But she got money for what those like you would call whining about racism. You guys defend her because she has made claims about how racism isn't a problem. If she had been a democrat you be telling her to shut up, that she's complained about racism because she's a loser. We are talking about real racism and you need to shut up about blacks and what we are supposed to think when you are white. We oppose Owens because she damages our ability to get rid of racism by making those claims about how white supremacy is made up then she gets used as an example to derail conversations and attempts to stop white racism by people like you.
 
Which office? No idea, but whatever it is...GOOD!!! Should piss off ol IM2, too. :D

Candace Owens

I’m now honestly considering running for office. Never had any desire to previously, but something changed in me last night. Had a conversation with my husband and I think it’s a plan.

Good for her.

And might I add, anyone who doesn't support her is a racist. The left taught me this.
Wrong. The left has taught you nothing. You make an assumption that is untrue. We oppose her because her beliefs support racism and racists. Because that is what the right is.

Candace Owens is a woman......she will definitely take offense to you calling her a girl......but not if she thinks it will cost her money of course...

But for the purpose of this discussion -- can you please refer to this grown married woman as a woman -- and not a girl....is that too much to ask??

Blacks who don’t behave the way they are expected to are called “boy” or “girl” by Democrats. It’s in their legacy of treatment of Blacks.

The democratic legacy includes the signing of our second emancipation proclamation and the only black president. Candice Owens is despised by blacks because she has helped whites continue their racism by her telling white people how white supremacy doesn't exist, that there are no white supremacist groups and that racism doesn't really exist. I am quite sure whites like you would not accept a white person who told you that Islamic terrorist groups don't exist, that Islamic terrorism is not real and that terrorism is made up because whites have a victim mentality.

You racists in the republican party have told yourself a lie about black people. I am black, shut the fuck up with that lie.

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.
Owens claimed she was “traumatized” by the racist taunts of a 14 year old white boy.

10 years later she told Fox she had never experienced racism

When and where did she say this? Do you have a link?



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.
WTF?

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)

Racism does not qualify as a “race issue”?

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.

She cashed in her $37,000 payout the year before Obama was elected. Then claimed Obama was responsible for the race issues in this country?

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.
I have yet to see any significant change in black support of Trump

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.
There is no proof of that

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.
What is wrong is to suck up to Fox and clam you didn’t see racism before Obama

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.
No, it's not like the Obamas who were lifelong democrats and Obama had served in the state senate and US Senate before he ran for president. There is no sane comparison between them and Candice Owens deciding to sellout so she could get paid.

Nobody has a problem with her getting a settlement for the racism she suffered you fucked up retard. It is getting the money then running around the nation telling everybody how racism doesn't exist or how it is not a problem that's the motherfucking issue.
 
I 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."

Oh, so now you want proof after making an entirely subjective judgment about why Owens switched parties. Incredible.

The fact that Owens has a history of demanding payment for racial discrimination,

A "history" of demanding payment for racial discrimination? It was just the one lawsuit, was it not?

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 would it be? I leaned left myself at one time and eventually became a conservative. So what?

So are you telling me that being a victim of white discrimination and bashing Trump paid off for her so she decided to, what, go in the completely opposite direction out of greed?

Seems to me that remaining a Democrat racism victim would have been more lucrative.
Quite a metamorphosis from Owens

From arch Liberal to arch Conservative in a few months

You do realize that she's not the only black person to make the switch, yes? And you do realize that other blacks who switched received no money for doing so, right?

What positive message has Candace really given too anyone?

It goes without saying that if you don't agree with her views, it will not be a positive message to you.

And continuing with the greed line of argument continues to ignore the fact that other blacks have switched with no financial gain.

Name a few.

I will when you give me proof that Owens only switched out of greed.

She learned the Diamond and Silk lesson

There is one thing that neither you, IM2 or any other Candace Owens-hater has bothered to do to gain some actual knowledge and perspective on this: Ask her.


You have. So what did she say?

We are still waiting for her to tell us what time period America was great for black folks, for some odd reason she couldn't answer that question.



This is irrelevant to the question I asked. I asked if anyone ever asked her why she switched.

Besides, I saw that video. Every time she tried to answer the idiot kept shouting her down. Sorry, but this one doesn't cut it.

What do you actually know about this transition of hers other than that it seemed (to you) to happen so quickly? Don't give me "It looks suspicious" or speculation, assumption and conjecture. What do you actually know?

She claims she has never experienced any racism, which was found to not be true.

Wrong. She never made that claim.

“Obama did a lot to tear this country apart. I do not remember when I was growing up, having all these race issues, okay? I really don’t remember it. And suddenly, toward the end of Obama, we started hearing all of this rhetoric drummed up. It became White versus Black all over again. I shouldn’t even say all over again because when I was alive, it was not an issue. It all became about race. Candace Owens.

I see nowhere in this quote that she said she never experienced racism.

The subject of race, racism and cultural appropriation have gripped this country like it never has before, even when she was a victim of racism. This is what she was talking about.

She didn't say racism was not an issue, she said race was not an issue like it is today. Meaning, we've never had this level of accusations, allegations and paranoia about race. We didn't have the problem we have today of people making issues about race that are not.

The way Owens and people like myself see it, racism exists. However, the number of people being publicly accused of racism has skyrocketed. People are being accused of racism for everything from smiling at an elderly Native American to not showing the proper level of contrition for white privilege. We're being hounded from all directions and usually it's for the most ridiculous reasons imaginable.

This switch she has done is just like those 2 boot licking clowns Diamond and Silk, it is any opportunity for a financial gain.

Did Diamond and Silk switch or were they always conservatives?

What did they switch from?

Ask him, he's the one who said it.




Here is a video of her weak ass excuse of why she switched parties.


First of all, I've seen this video and I happen to agree with a lot of what she says. I don't see it as a "weak excuse" at all. Secondly, no one needs an "excuse" to switch to the Republican party. "Excuse" implies that the action is immoral, unethical or frowned upon. To say she needs an excuse to switch implies that one needs an excuse to be a Republican at all.

Switching to the Republican party needs no excuse or justification and neither myself, Candace Owens, or any other person who decides to cross the aisle needs your blessing or absolution or your permission.

Ghost rider needs to shut the fuck up. The only reason he's sucking Owens pussy is because she supports his racist point of view. I have done plenty of research on Owens and I have seen plenty of sellouts like her in my life. She's a sellout, I don't want to talk to her and don't need to.

There are black republicans who do not hold the views of Owens and they don't get shot up to national prominence like she is because they don't run around dissing blacks who oppose racism and they don't lie about how racism doesn't exist or that blacks have this mysterious victim mentality that was first made up by the fat cancer patient.

I’m now honestly considering running for office. Never had any desire to previously, but something changed in me last night. Had a conversation with my husband and I think it’s a plan.

Good for her.

And might I add, anyone who doesn't support her is a racist. The left taught me this.
Wrong. The left has taught you nothing. You make an assumption that is untrue. We oppose her because her beliefs support racism and racists. Because that is what the right is.

Nope. You don't like her because she's black. You're a racist.

I am black. And you have been told why blacks don't like her. So try again. Or take your pasty white ass to a forum that is majority black and hail to the greatness of owens and see what you get.
