Candace Owens: I DO NOT support George Floyd as a martyr! & Here's Why!
 
Wow! A lot to think about. Can you imagine if a white person spoke these exact words?

When one has courage of conviction it is easy to speak ones opinions, feelings or beliefs.

I am sure she will not try to take it back after she gets feedback, especially from her peers....

The silent majority rears it's head every now and then!!

anothersteve 06-05-2020 05:28 PM

Good find, Thanks.

She sure doesn't hold anything back! I appreciate her passion and her solid reasoning for her positions. I just can't get over my belief she'd have death threats if she were white and expressed her opinion so passionately. :ohdear:

She's assuming he was high because he had the presence of methamphetamines and fentanyl in his bloodstream. Either that or she understands full well that the amount in his bloodstream indicates that he wasn't high, and she's lying on purpose to prove a point that she isn't able to make without lying.

Not surprising for her, she does this often.

She has courage! I respect her!

mtdjed 06-05-2020 08:05 PM

I stumbled onto that Video and had no idea who Candace Owens was. There was so much in that video that is worth considering. A very logical review of the situation.

I see her statement as very logical as opposed to those that simply decide that protestors and looters have a right to their behavior.

zonerboy 06-05-2020 08:51 PM

Candice Owens is a frequent political commentator on Face Book, particularly representing Prager University. She is a rarity these days.....a well spoken conservative black person.

anothersteve 06-05-2020 09:53 PM

I agree but you lost a few at
"a well spoken conservative black person."
(doesn't fit the "agenda" ya know)

According to the 911 call he appeared drunk.

manaboutown 06-05-2020 11:16 PM

Look at the video where the police walked Floyd away from the wall.. While walking he staggered like the stoned druggie he was.

Love2Swim 06-06-2020 05:05 AM

You've got to be kidding. Candice Owens is the black Ann Coulter - a real hater. She has defended the white woman who called the police on a black man who asked her to leash her dog while bird watching. She has publicly defended Hitler. She is way, way to the right of mainstream America which endears her to many conservative Republicans and has landed her on Fox News, with her outrageous comments - for her its about the fame, attention, and money. Accuracy and truth telling - not.

jacksonbrown 06-06-2020 05:21 AM

"She is way, way to the right of mainstream America"

Baloney, she is mainstream America, just not Main Stream Media, which continues to ignore her comments.

Chloe Girl 06-06-2020 05:30 AM

Oh my gosh, my brother and I played the game of Cootie all the time when we were kids. Thanks for the memories!!!

Tom2172 06-06-2020 05:42 AM

Candace brings out more information in 5 min video then media has in 10 days.
Why? Candace thinks for her self, something most of us are no longer allowed to due. Drew Learned that

As soon as I saw she was basing her opinion on something that wasn't true, I stopped the video. There's no need to continue watching it at that point.

GOLFER54 06-06-2020 06:07 AM

I listened to every word she had to say and she is 100% correct in her opinions and factual information about the black communities and George Floyd.

Jewelz 06-06-2020 06:09 AM

She has some great points- I really like her!

GOLFER54 06-06-2020 06:12 AM

You got to be kidding me, the fact that he carried these illegal substances on him you believe that he wasn’t high at the time. The coroner’s reports affirmed that he had fentanyl and other drugs in his system.I presume if I had a stolen Tv on me, you’d think I was just returning it to the store I stole it from.

Pamelah 06-06-2020 06:13 AM

I don’t get it. I thought people were protesting because of how he died. Yes he is a martyr because he was black and murdered by a cop. His history is irrelevant. She’s the nut case.

And that is just what is wrong with the post baby boomer generations.

When reading an article, or listening to a speaker, once they sense "anything" that doesn't jive with their opinions then they reject the entire hypothesis.

That's termed "narrow-mindedness".

GOLFER54 06-06-2020 06:13 AM

Sure block out the truth !!!

Absolutely nailed it! :thumbup:

I guess you didn’t try to hear her message. She made the point that he was taking drugs. Whether or not he was high is irrelevant.

Stop hearing only what you want to hear and rejecting everything else out of hand. Seek the actual truth. Your news channel has taught you how to only hear one narrative instead of listening to both sides and THEN deciding.

Listen to it again and tell us what she says that isn’t true that is actually relevant.

They are simply using their standard operating procedure...in trying to blame the victim. :oops:

Analogous to blaming the victim for sexual harassment, rape and abuse...because of the way they dressed or that they were drinking.

Simply disgusting.
:mad:

From the Medical Examiner's report

Other significant conditions: Arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease; fentanyl intoxication; recent methamphetamine use

You do understand what intoxication means don't you? Somebody is lying and it isn't Candace Owens.

A white person shouldn’t speak them...not our words to say. Candice is a great speaker been listening to her for a while.

Lindsyburnsy 06-06-2020 06:34 AM

She has been known for cozying up with Inforwars, which we all know is full of facts; ie; pizza gate.

"Candace Amber Owens Farmer is an American conservative commentator and political activist. She is known for her pro-Trump activism that began around 2016 after being initially very critical of Trump and the Republican Party, and her criticism of Black Lives Matter and of the Democratic Party." Wikipedia

This says it all.

Arl 06-06-2020 06:35 AM

She is very smart and does her homework before speaking. And yes she’s to the point and really doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her. She speaks the truth. Sorry you don’t like her but sometimes the truth hurts.

nhtexasrn 06-06-2020 06:54 AM

I've been following Candace Owens for quite some time. She is an amazing and uplifting person who tells it like it is. People will be seeing a lot more of her in the future.

WesMan 06-06-2020 06:57 AM

The Truth
 
She speaks the truth!!!!

drgoofy 06-06-2020 07:01 AM

Death sentence?
 
Being high/intoxicated or passing counterfeit $ doesn't carry a death sentence...at least last time I checked. Even if so, it would need to be arrived at via a judge and jury...not some renegade cops.

merrymini 06-06-2020 07:09 AM

Candace Owens is smart, beautiful, courageous and honest. Something we do not see much today, from anyone.

Nice, continue to try to perpetuate a lie and have an equally uninformed poster (Nailed it - CNM) agree. Here is a clip of congressman Ted Lieu trying to make that same assertion and Candace’s reply. Rep. Ted Lieu plays recording of Candace Owens statement on Adolf Hitler (C-SPAN) - YouTube
