This says it all.

AND herewith lies the problem in America, FOR BOTH SIDES! It is obviously repugnant to you that a person could be known as "...an American conservative commentator and political activist." Therefore: you automatically tune out and go on record are against ANYTHING they say. That's sad, because I would challenge you tell me what was untrue in her 18 minute video.

Thankfully, I haven't fallen that far into the abyss! I am admittedly conservative and Republican. BUT, I actually listen to opposing positions and sometimes even agree with them.

Particularly noteworthy, when it's coming from a mouthpiece/sock-puppet whose lone 'claim to fame'...is to foment lies/anger/hatred.

Which is then perfectly summed up, and breathlessly and wholeheartedly embraced, by the statement of..."just shut up and dribble."

And who would even try to deny, the coded racism...in such a statement?

Not trying to be insulting but … could you please write more legibly; I have no idea what you're trying to say!

You make two statements, both addressed and disproved by the video. (1) You claim George Floyd was not a criminal. If 5 proven prison sentences, the last being armed home invasion against a pregnant woman, don't prove you ARE a criminal, what does. (2) She addressed, and you can easily research yourself, to disprove that blacks are more likely to be falsely suspected and inhumanely treated.

Candace Owens vehemently clarifies that George Floyd was wrongfully killed by Derek Chauvin, and that Chauvin should be convicted for same. Her point was simply stated that she was tired of her race deifying the "bottom feeders" of her race as martyrs and heros.

You embarrass me Bill because I too am retired Army! You offer nothing but a two personal insults about the author. How about pointing out even one falsehood contained in the 18 minutes of video?

If you listen to her words and forget your mass media supplied opinions of the entire situation you will realize she is intellligent and thought provoking. Regardless of your political stance, she points out the death was wrong and should be punished, however, the martyar creation of people dying at the hands of police is not what the black community should be advancing. All Lives Matter.....black, white, yellow, or brown. Wrongful death should not be tolerated and must be punished to the fullest extent. At the same time, all deaths should be held to the same standard, whether Minneapolis, Chicago, Dallas, St. Louis, or rural America.

She's an Opportunist and a Hater! She's Courageous and Brilliant! You're both right (or left) depending on your ideological views. For those of you who have an open mind and want to hear from a true scholarly black conservative set your DVR to Fox News tomorrow (Sunday) evening at 11 PM. I would say watch it but it is at 11 PM and I am corresponding with TV residents so I know better. One of the speakers will be Shelby Steele. He's a Senior Fellow at Standford University. That's kind of an oxymoron, a Conservative at a California university. Sorry got sidetracked. Watch it and I think you'll be both educated and amazed. I've heard him speak before and that was my reaction.

Drunk? So what??? Big guy? Yes. Strong guy? Yes. 4 rotten cops couldn’t subdue him ( if that be the case) so one kneeled on his neck and killed him. People are wrongly focusing on the man. I’m focusing on the intentional murder of a black man.

No matter what George Floyd’s condition was, killing him was not the answer

And it sounds like he was trying to pass a counterfeit 20 dollar bill and if in a drugged state would not have had the intention to commit a crime. He probably did not know it was a phony bill. But I do not have the facts.

The MN Attorney General was very careful as a law student at the U of MN. He was class of 1990. I am Class of 1989. I did not have any classes with him that I recall but my girlfriend while in law school was Class of 1990 and would have had classes with him. She did mention him quite often though as he was one of the few African-American students at the U of MN Law School while I was there.

Keith Ellison would go by the facts. He is the AG for Minnesota right now.

What a horrible thing to say. The druggie that he was? The man was casually murdered and you come out with that comment? Obnoxious.

Not surprising for her, she does this often.

Good to point out that she may also have history. Maybe a perspective. But, Fentanyl has a reputation for making people crazy and violent. How much is just a little?

I read that the person that called 911 said Floyd was acting high and not in control of himself.

Besides being provocative, very harsh.
