Kira Davis: Candace Owens is a problem | RedState.com

In the wind
.......What is problematic for me and others like me is that white conservatives (and some black conservatives) have gleefully thrust Owens into the position of not only speaking for all black conservatives, but for the black community in general.
I hear so many white conservatives describe her as “articulate” and it makes me cringe. I find it reminiscent of how white liberals condescendingly fawned all over Obama as “articulate”. Owens parrots talking points — some of which actually have merit — but has neither the experience nor the historical knowledge to expound on those talking points. Worse, she does not have enough depth to draw out what should be the larger goal with those talking points — lifting up black America and promoting racial unity. She’s the punditry equivalent of what Rush Limbaugh so famously dubbed the “drive-by media.” She pulls up, throws a bomb, and then catches all the cash that rains down in the aftermath before darting off to the next crime scene.
In particular, it is Owens’ “plantation” rhetoric that has been so problematic, and it is a great example of how the conversation in black conservatism has advanced while Owens remains stuck in first gear.........

If the author doesn’t like some of Owens’ views, discuss them. But, this article amounts to vague character assassination and impugning motive. It comes across as petty. Even bitchy.
NAAAASTY
I don’t think anyone on planet earth has ever said Trump will win because of Candace Owens. Trump will win because of Trump. And, Joe Biden. God bless Joe Biden.
Joe ain't my first choice but he is going to win bigly LOL
Agree. Not only is she attractive, she’s smart, confident, and seems like she could beat you with a hammer if you pissed her off. My kind of gal.
These planned, organized riots had one goal. It was to provoke Trump into a violent response, causing the public to want to oust the Tyrant from office. Trump didn’t fall into that trap but the Dem stooges keep burning cities and making fools of themselves in Seattle. Who is in the hole and who is digging ?

Anyone with good sense would know that Candace Owens is nothing but a con artist who uses her Black ethnicity to get money from racists.
Comparing pictures of Congresswoman Maxine Waters and Candace Owens can only be viewed as an insult against the Black community.
In other words, she “ain’t black” and any white person who agrees with her ideas is racist. I think I understand.
I won’t bother asking how you feel about Clarence Thomas or Tim Scott.
Chaos is not a plan and that’s all your guy has gotten after more than 3 and a half years there is very little of substance to show and all he has done is fall back on his old canards, the folks that support him are lacking in imagination I laugh here it’s two plus years later and he’s still attacking Colin Kaepernick over three years and still going after Hillary, shit he can’t even have a rally without getting everyone who attends to sign a waiver. Some leader he’s turned out to be.
Hell he couldn’t get a wall built on the Mexican border so he put one up around the people’s house, how sad he is, but you go on dreaming about the con job this guy sold y’all a false bill of goods.
Nearly all of the new fence on the Mexican Border is replacement and as far as we know Mexico hasn’t contributed a single peso despite Trumps promises that the Mexicans would pay for all of it.
- Police Racism
-Disintegration of the family/ Single parent households
-Failing public schools
-Gangs/Black on Black violence
-Trapping the community in welfare rather than building jobs
Candace Owens’ is simply saying that, by focusing exclusively on racism in the police force, the black community and its leadership has the wrong priority.
It’s a priority that ignores 55 years of failure on the war on poverty. But, current black leadership relies on the old, stale, failed ways to stay in power. And yes, politicians like Maxine Waters are standing in the way of a fresh search for solutions. People like Candace Owens and Ben Carson are bringing those fresh solutions.
Simply not true. But, claiming that all “legitimate” news sources agree on this democrat talking point is the kind of circular logic that blocks you from learning things outside the echo chamber.
Maybe one day you’ll manage to convince someone who’s not an idiot that the moon is made out of green cheese, good luck
OK

Definition of right:
1: RIGHTEOUS, UPRIGHT
2: being in accordance with what is just, good, or proper right conduct
3: conforming to facts or truth : CORRECT the right answer
4: SUITABLE, APPROPRIATE the right man for the job
5: STRAIGHT a right line
6: GENUINE, REAL
This pretty much sums up the right, conservatives, Republicans, or whatever you wish to label them.
Now let's see some antonyms for right:
1. bias
2. one-sidedness
3. partiality
4. prejudice
5. unfairness
6. unjustness
7. wrongfulness
8. corruption
9. impropriety
10. crime
11. offense
12. wrongdoing
13. disservice
14. harm
This AUTHORITY sums it up pretty accurately!
Possibly be conservative!
