Candace Owens is a grifter. No more, no less. 

I hate that incorrect, debunked, dangerous views get equal screen time with scientifically sound ones out of some misguided notion of “fairness”. It was the one thing I really disliked about Wilmore’s Nightly Show - he’d invite a vocal antivaxxer, say, when they were talking about vaccines. There aren’t always two

People invite a bullshitter to spew their bullshit and are outraged when the bullshit is spewed?

She was invited for racial click-bating that they wanted and that’s exactly what they got.

Why the fuck was she invited? Who the fuck asked her to show up? What the fuck is that person’s problem? How is that person in charge of booking an invent that has to do with black perspectives? When is that motherfucker gonna get fired?

OhMyGod, Karen.

I really would like to know why we need to give a hug and a cookie to every person who isn’t a sack of shit? In 2019, 400 years from the first slaves to this country any white person going “wow, black people are...just people” isn’t special and does not deserve a parade and that person shouldn’t immediately be hoisted

Why, those two black people are some of his best friends, I tell ya’!

If Lauren’s letter wasn’t enough to convince anyone that she is indeed white, the fact that she had the nerve to reply back making a dig about not having received a reply (as though she were entitled to one) should remove all doubt.

I’m not telling you how to do your work but

You can’t treat a problem until it is acknowledged as a problem. Each and every single time I see Trump doing/saying/being stupid I just stop and think: and white people voted for this man. He was everything he is now before the election. They just weren’t paying attention. I knew Trump was trash and like more than

Funny you should say that; I live in Chicago now. I honestly feel safer walking around here at night than I did in those backwoods.

I lived in rural PA for a while and one year there were four murders in my town of 5000 people. One was heroin related and the other three were men killing their female partners. I’m not great at math but I’m pretty sure 4 out of 5000 is a higher murder rate than Chicago’s.

I think the false connection that white people make between police violence against black people and “black on black crime” is their false belief in cause and effect between the two. In other words, they think that the police are already focused on black people for good reason, that reason being: (their mistaken

Regrettably I’ve had this thought before, though I’ve never said it out loud. This article was VERY well done and helped me reframe everything in my mind. Bottom line is, it’s none of my business. The black community is reaching out to talk about one thing, so people need to engage rather than distract or divert.

More unarmed white people ARE killed by police than unarmed blacks, but black people are much, much, much more represented in the statistics than they should be (13-ish% population vs 33-something% police deaths). It’s not just that cops are biased against black people (though yes, they obviously are), it’s that they

Why is the rate of violence actually higher among poor, urban whites? Why don’t we ever discuss the economic impact of redlining and segregation on rates of violence?

There are two types of white people who derail the conversation with “what about black on black crime?’ The first type are the ones who don’t know any black people in real life. They’ve seen black people on TV, but they don’t know any black people. The second type are the ones who only know downtrodden black people.

Instead of that red (or black) herring, I’d rather talk about the rationalizing of people like Bill “Gun Violence is the Cost of Freedom” O’Reilly. Gun-related homicides since 2001 total close to 200,000 (10-12,000 per year); deaths from foreign terrorism about one-fiftieth that number. And yet if anybody said
