Candace Owens

She’s just a female version of Piers Morgan / Jeremy Clarkson. Utterly obsessed with the Sussexes (however ridiculous they may be) but for the love of God woman give it a break.

I do actually but that wasn’t the point of my question.

What is your point? She's talking about H&M because they are constantly talking and being venomous to his family. People will judge them and speak about them not so kindly, why shouldn't they?
She has lots of views i don't agree with and a few I do. She is entitled to her views.

Nobody is obsessed with H&M apart from themselves and the DM.

Candace Owens is a very intelligent commentator.

She's just another right wing grifter.

Claims she's never suffered racism. And certainly never publicises the fact she once sued for racial discrimination.

To get a lucrative career with the right wing media you need to comply with their narrative that black Americans are just whining about racism. Hence her wearing a 'white lives matter' t-shirt and pretending she can't see all the racist comments that a photo of her newborn garnered. Comments from her supposed base.

Indeed. It seems white, extremely privileged men are allowed to speak constantly with no restraint, but a woman of colour, speaking and opining too much is “dangerous” and should have her platform removed. Worrying.

have you been sniffing glue?

The OP specifically called out two white men in her post.

FormerlyPathologicallyHappy · 14/01/2023 16:04

I like her, I've seen her debating with people who she doesnt agree with but staying respectful and calm.

I'm pro-vax but if she isnt then that's her opinion.

TheWitchesAreBackInTown · 14/01/2023 16:04

Candace Owens has some interesting takes. I only watch the bits I'm interested in. There's a lot I don't agree with but she does make me think.

Great to see a conservative WOC getting so much coverage because it messes with some liberal left wing people's heads and I say that as a lefty. I want to see her film.

BellePeppa · 14/01/2023 16:12

As far as I can tell you have to seek Candace out as she’s not on mainstream tv, unless you are in the US and not the U.K. ?

I agree with her on some things and don't on many others.
She's way more conservative and religious than I'd ever be but I sometimes like watching her take down others who aren't half as articulate as her.

I don't get the modern thing of trying to shut down others just because you don't agree with what they're saying.
Just scroll past and move on with your life.

This absolutely. I am the same with Piers , I don’t always agree with him , but sometimes he is spot on . And I thought the interview that Candace did with Dan Wooton was spot on ( don’t like him either generally ) .Just remember opinions are not facts and you will be fine .

it’s a bit like politics , just because you support a certain party does NOT mean you have to agree with every policy they put forward do you ? That would be blinkered.

‘Meghan found someone dumber than she is’ - hardly articulate or intelligent commentary.

But pretty accurate

I think she’s awful from what I do hear of her, but I don’t continue to listen or read what she says. Feels quite easy to avoid her so she doesn’t bother me too but much, but I agree her Sussex obsession is pathetic and just done to appeal to the equally awful people who support her. She is terrible on other issues too.

ToWhitToWhoo · 14/01/2023 16:32

I haven't followed her remarks about Harry and Meghan, because I've been avoiding that soap opera as much as I can. However, I am aware of her as an American commentator and she is pretty vile: very right-wing (and 'right-wing' there doesn't mean what it usually does here; it means VERY hard-right); pro-Trump; convinced that Trump won the election and was defrauded; anti-welfare; strongly anti-abortion; climate change denier; anti-vaccination; etc. etc.

I dont agree with your opinion about her. But you can see how others ate trying to shut you down by making this a race thing .

And examples of her supporting white supremacy

MaverickGooseGoose · 14/01/2023 16:39

I don't see her anywhere, just had to Google who she is. If you don't want it don't feed in to the algorithms

phoenixrosehere · 14/01/2023 16:41

A woman who sprouts nonsense that racists love to hear about her own race and other non-whites. but ask her a legitimate question she doesn’t expect and she turns into a malfunctioning robot only repeats the same words over and over but doesn’t actually answer the question.

Says racism doesn’t exist yet won a court case in high school due to being harassed by white teenage boys because she was black.

Started off as a liberal but that didn’t work the way she wanted and switched sides.

There are very few things I agree with that she has says but the majority of it shows me that she is a woman who knows nothing about history and is only helping racism flourish against Black peoples.

Well, exactly…interesting that a) I didn’t mention her race and b) no one knows what race I am!

She is. However she doesn’t agree with currently dominant political views so is despised for it. They can’t go too far though as she as WOC, so they’re not really sure what to do with her 😁

Umm, these views are pretty dominant in many parts of the US. Until recently, they had a president who held such views, and might well have him or someone else with such views again. And this has an impact on other parts of the world. I don't despise Candace Owens, in the sense of looking down on her; I find people like her terrifyingly dangerous. Whatever their race or gender.

defi · 14/01/2023 16:48

She's a grifter that will latch on to any popular right wing topic.

FlozzaR · 14/01/2023 16:52

Dr shola M-S, Ash Sarkar, Owen Jones to name 3 loonie left wing idiots always aggressively spouting crap

You asked what people thought about her and if you know who she is and her platform, race is going to come up because that is the major thing she speaks about.

Nothing to do with you or what rave you are.

Mayorquimby2 · 14/01/2023 16:57

She's a right wing scumbag, I wouldn't really put much weight in what she has to say.

Just another evil scumbag alongside the evil scumbags she alligns herself with like Jones, Tate and Tucker

Their only redeeming feature is that at least it means that bigots and scumbags identify themselves but vocalizing their support for these cunts.
