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.

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.

*One of the major things

*race

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.

Are people on here really defending a pro-trump, anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorist as intelligent?

I keep seeing her everywhere - TV, Twitter, TikTok etc. I’m not seeking her out to be annoyed by her opinion.

The wider point I’m making is that I think it’s dangerous to allow people a platform to incessantly target the same people again and again.

MyRiverThee · 14/01/2023 17:02

I think it’s quite ironic that she comments so much on the dynamics of Harry and Meghans relationship with each other and with the Royals.

How can a young WOC be put in the same category as the likes of PM & JC? She doesn’t have a remotely similar platform or background.

You are agitating for a WOC to lose her platform, a platform she will have had to work ten times as hard for than all the other white men you mentioned, because she’s saying things you don’t like, expressing her own opinions. Harry is also in constant attack mode and is absolutely everywhere but responses to it must be curtailed and he can speak freely?

When Trump was desperate for the POC vote, her, as his supporter didn't have to work hard. Better yet, she was anti Black lives matter, so was handed another platform. Then she went very pro life, so was everywhere. On every matter she advocates she's completely changed her stance. No she's all about 'Rusdian lives matter' and claims that Russia created the Ukraine, so have the right to take it back. Her anti-vaccine/restrictions etc stance showed her not to be a very deep thinker. Her harrasment of the family of murdered Mollie Tibbets and her influencing a shooter shows that she can be dangerous.

Yes, like Donald Trump, for example.

No, it does NOT!!! There are too many people like that already!!!

Hanschenklein · 14/01/2023 17:25

Lol @BethDuttonsTwin have you heard of Suella Bravermann or Priti Patel ?
Well known for their humane treatment of refugees 🙄

OriginalUsername2 · 14/01/2023 17:26

I find her very interesting but haven’t run across her on the internet without seeking her out. You need to clear your history if she’s popping up that much. The algorithms clearly think you like her content.

JulieMarooley · 14/01/2023 17:28

She is too heavy on the vitriol sometimes, and blinded by ideology sometimes, BUT I think she’s generally got some good points to make and makes them very well.

DogBowlsAreMyWeapon · 14/01/2023 17:29

I brought her race into it (you have no idea my skin tone) because of your political bias - but, that goes both ways and, when people are critical of (off the top of my head) Meghan Markle/Diane Abbott- the word racist is thrown.

It’s illogical and daft and driven by political bias

ironically Suella Braverman/Priti Patel/Candace are fair game and I’ve heard vile slurs (fruit related) directly referencing their race - this would NEVER be tolerated at the other end of the spectrum.

its patronising and belittling to demand PoC may only vote/think a certain way.

Candace Owens talks about a range of topics and has done for some time. Sometimes I agree with her, sometimes I don’t

I’ve only heard her talk about PH this week.

Bard6817 · 14/01/2023 17:34

The boundaries of america politicians are skewed from a uk standpoint.

Republicans are pro life, but our closest equivalent being pro choice. Democrat the party of equity/equality, matching our Labour party, but has issues with anti semitism.

CO is republican and not a supporter of BLM, never has been. For that, i like her views on that issue - but i believe she is pro life - and i don’t support that.

Never ever heard her speak of that ex royal couple - but tbh, i despise them so if it’s something bad she’s saying - and more and more americans and media outlets are being more critical just lately - they are reaping the hate they are spewing.

I detest both PM and JC; but neither has views anything like as vicious as hers. So far as I know, neither opposes vaccination or supports the religious right; and both, though generally right-wing, have supported specific progressive causes: PM is a gun control advocate; JC was a Remain supporter. As such, both would be deeply suspect to the American hard-right.

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

I think she has a point

LadyKenya · 14/01/2023 17:44

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 14/01/2023 16:02

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.

All for the $$$

This. she forgets, or wants to, who she is. She is happy to say whatever to appeal to a certain demographic, just like Suella Braverman.

have you been sniffing glue?

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

What an obnoxious posting style you have. Just wanted to tell you that before I ignore you completely :)

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

And I'm anti-drunk-driving and anti-playing-hopscotch-on-the-M1, but if someone isn't, I suppose that's their opinion!

I agree with this. I think the thing that annoys her detractors the most is that they can't easily call her racist.

And yes, all black people should have the same opinions apparently. Must only be democrats/labour, must support BLM, and must follow the party line.
Why don't they see that black people are actual whole humans who can see the same things as you, but come to a different conclusion?
When Rishi became PM the worst things I saw came from the left, not the right.

Notice which side resorts to name-calling first.

Do you really believe that all criticism of any POC is purely racism, never any other reason?

That goes both ways doesn’t it.? Why is it assumed that Black people who disagree with her are democrats, support BLM, etc.
