Black America: White People ARE NOT Holding You Back...

you know what we've started here and and. this is why we finished with with the. promised land because this is why we. keep fighting right people say how do. you get up out of bed and take the hits. that you take. i mean i've been accused literally i. woke up one morning and i was accused of. a mosque shooting in new zealand did you. guys follow that i mean it was the most. ridiculous i'm like i speak about black. america. i speak about minority america refusing. the lies of a left. i get up on stage and i basically say.

the same thing every time i say black. america i believe in you i believe in us. hey hispanic america minority america. asian america i believe in you i believe. in us. that's it that message is considered. dangerous. so dangerous that they are willing to. put out a media hit against me anybody. that can take candace owens down there. will be a prize the headlines i have. read about myself.

they call me a black white supremacist. and anybody see white supremacy here. tonight. i mean the stupidity that it takes to. come up with something like black. white supremacy oh yes please i would. like to help create a society that i. can't live in that would be the logic i. get up on every stage and i say please. please please oppress me that would be. the logic. and yet we have pockets of people that. fall for it we have pockets of people. that are still believing the media lies.

we have pockets of people that don't. realize that the media do you want to. know what they're after. a civil war. when i turn on cnn and msnbc and i watch. what they are saying and the lies that. they are spinning they are after a civil. war. what do you think they want when they. say things like candace owens is a nazi. sympathizer like candace owens hates. black america that candace owens is. inspiring mass shootings what are they.

doing they are giving permission for. people to come attack me that is what. they are doing they are saying to antifa. you can show up where she is and you can. do what you do and you can threaten her. you we are giving you the permission and. our hands are going to be clean that is. what they are doing it is a sin and it. is wrong and they have gotten away for. it for too long. people ask me all the time what is. blexit what is blexit candace what is it.

right it's blacks it's latinos it's. asians it's also white people white. people too waking up we are all waking. up to the left we are waking up to what. they've done. and it's not just a wake up guys. it's an education it's a re-education. look at our schools. in baltimore not being able to find a. single child that could pass a literacy. exam across five schools. why are they doing that.

because they know the truth. an educated mind can't be enslaved so i. have to make sure that we remain. uneducated. they like their minorities emotional and. reactive and not logical and rational. and so the challenge that i ask all of. you minorities here today is when you. see a story on any headline and it makes. you feel something stop right there and. think first.

think first in 2016 i had to do that. because i was hurt just like you heard. brennan talk i was hurt when i watched. who every person in this room felt. something when we watched people. bleeding out in cars because of a police. officer we all felt something because. we're human beings and we have a heart. and the color of the person never. mattered that was in the car it never. mattered but then i stopped and i said. why. why just before an election cycle or all. of these liberal networks only showing. this. why are they showing black versus white.

why are they showing police brutality. what is this. i looked at the statistics and i said my. goodness. as a as a black person i have a higher. chance of being struck by lightning. than being struck by a police officer. unarmed why are they showing this. because they want us angry because they. want us emotional because they want us. irrational because when you are. emotional you are able to be manipulated. and you are able to be controlled.

i have watched the media. create an entirely different candace. owens it's amazing it's amazing i've. i've googled myself and i said oh this. girl sounds horrible. i'm a protestor. and i said to myself it's incredible. they make me sound like i grew up like a. privileged rich girl in connecticut no i. didn't i didn't grow up as a privileged. rich girl in connecticut i grew up. my living in an apartment with my two. sisters sharing a room where we had to.

have an exterminator come every month. for roaches. they say they know what people think. when you hear connecticut right that's. what they do candice grew up in. connecticut where the median income is a. hundred thousand dollars they're not. commenting on my family they just want. to make you think that i grew up and. i've been out of touch with black. america they don't want you to know what. i lived through they don't want you to. know that i grew up with uncles in. prison and i visited my uncle in prison. when i was a small child they don't want. you to know that i made a conscious. decision when i was a child to live a. different life i was the little girl and.

this is what blexit is for the little. girls that are wondering if there's. something else. that are living in existence and saying. i don't want this for myself. i always tell the story to people of my. first play date and it's an important. one i will never never ever forget this. and it's stunning how when something is. so important in your life your brain. just locks it in there like it was. yesterday. i was five years old when i had my first. playdate i didn't go to preschool so my. whole existence was where we lived in.

this low-income housing housing. structure in stanford connecticut. i didn't know anything outside of it. everything i saw every day was black. people and hispanic people. and then i went to school and my first. friend her name was lindsey and she. invited me over for a playdate and i was. so excited to go and when we got to her. house i was shocked as we were driving. that the houses just got bigger and. bigger and bigger i said oh my goodness. do people live like this. i went i went into lindsay's house and.

and she had this beautiful big white. house in sanford connecticut and and she. had a nanny and everything was perfect. in her house she had a playdate extra. space in the basement that was converted. in into a playroom for her and her. sisters everything in her room was. seemed to me like it was it was. victorian style she had glass dolls and. i said my goodness. i can't believe people live like this. i want that. in that moment i decided that i wanted.

that i wasn't bitter i wasn't jealous i. wanted to know how i could become that. how i could live like that and then you. know what happened they put me in the. school system after kindergarten you. start learning and and the teachers what. are they teaching people actively. well the reason lindsay lives like that. and you live like this is because of the. color of your skin right. that's where they start the programming. this is this was liberal candice i was. learning actively. to. to think that white people had something. against me this is what the public. school system when you have to.

understand the uphill climb that we have. the public school system is teaching us. that we are oppressed that we it's. because of the color of our skin. they're not telling us that we are the. authors of our own destiny that were in. the driver's seat that we have to make. different decisions they didn't want to. say to me hey candace you know. if you wanted to live a different life. your mother could have made some. different decisions my mother dropped. out of high school my mother grew up in. and out of group homes coming out of her. life she was one of nine children right. those are different decisions that could.

have been made. my mother had all of her children out of. wedlock these are different decisions we. don't learn about that in school. how do we start teaching people that. they are the authors that they are in. the driver's seats of their own destiny. i was blessed and i really do believe. this i was blessed in 2016. and i never. tell people who they support as. candidates so please go out do your own. research i'm just telling you my story i. was blessed in 2016 and 2015 actually. when donald trump came down the. escalator. and i'll tell you why i was blessed.

he came to an escalator and i was a. liberal i didn't know much about. politics but i knew that i had to be a. democrat because of the color of my skin. i knew that right i knew i was on the. left because of the color of my skin. and he came down the escalator and my. first thought was. oh no. not him. is that the guy that says you fired. president of the united states. absolutely not absolutely not. but then. more importantly than the things that i. was thinking. were the things that i wasn't thinking.

you see i was thinking okay you know. he's a reality tv star. he should he shouldn't be president of. the united states he says you're fired. that's too gimmicky that's making our. country a joke no way but i wasn't. thinking. this man is a racist. but the media suddenly exploded and they. said he's a racist he's a sexist he's a. misogynist at one point if you guys. remember this they were saying that he. was incestuous and he had feelings for. his daughter ivanka you guys remember. that's it was absolutely disgusting.

overnight. but you see i grew up listening to. hip-hop music and until that man. announced that he was running for. president united states. everybody loved trump okay. everybody loved trump. and just like that the media said no no. no no no no forget everything we said i. know he was great he had his own show we. loved him forget beyonce and jay-z. sipping poolside they wanted to be at. mar-a-lago remember in the songs. everybody wanted to be at mar-a-lago he. was a symbol of wealth of americanism.

that you had made it everybody loved. trump and just like that i was supposed. to be convinced. that he was a racist because he. announced his bid for the white house. that was my aha moment i still wasn't. sure wasn't sure about him but i said to. myself and i asked a very important. question it's a question that i want you. guys to ask yourselves. is it possible. that racism is now being used as a theme. to turn black people into single issue. voters.

the answer is yes. when people know. what you are afraid of they can control. you okay. when people know what you fear they can. control you and the left has figured out. that minorities fear racism so they call. everything racist i mean i actually saw. an article. i believe it was the washington post and. it said that air was racist. and i thought it was a joke i was like. this has to be satire i clicked it it.

wasn't they said that we are breathing. worse air than white people it was. amazing. i said wow we're here right now okay air. is racist i didn't think okay. and the day it is laughable but you know. there are people that are sharing those. articles going see i told you. i told you i had a feeling the air is. racist. i've been i've been completely killed by. the press a thousand times over for a. lot of things first and foremost i am.

not a feminist and i say that proudly. and i'll explain to you why. please do not believe. that people that are calling themselves. feminist today these modern feminists. these lena dunham types that are out. there boycotting brett kavanaugh are. feminists they are not they are people. they are radicalized feminists people. that are operating under the guise of. feminism to attack men okay.

a society cannot thrive without strong. men okay. they are trying to demote masculinity. you see this in our society there's. something wrong if you have any type of. a feeling that makes you feel like a man. there's something wrong with you they're. trying to pervert masculinity they're. trying to even pervert femininity. there's something wrong if you're a. woman and you want to raise your kids oh.

my goodness what is wrong with you. there is nothing wrong with raising your. kids in fact i would argue that's the. toughest job in the world to raise good. human beings. this is the left this is the left. you have a feeling like you want to get. married what's wrong with you. i mean i had a feminist tweet at me and. said why don't you go make your husband. a sandwich. okay.

did he does he want one i mean. why on earth. would i have an issue with making my. husband a sandwich. modern feminism is just it's so crazy. wackadoodle i can't even begin. but this is the stuff that is required. learning in school now. when i was at university i was required. to take feminism 101 okay as a part of. my prerequisites for a journalism major.

let me tell you i'm going to show you. guys all how my class went you guys. ready you guys are now all in feminism. 101. we had a massive textbook in this. textbook was every single problem that. has faced women since the beginning of. dawn since the time of dinosaurs they. created this textbook okay. our teacher would sit at the front and. she'd pluck out one of these things that. happened in the textbook she'd say oh um. pick up pick a struggle uh women are. tired more tired than men why and she. turned to the class i mean all we had to. do to get an a was say.

because of men. that was it i mean it was it was really. the easiest class you could possibly get. an a in and. no other thinking so she'd say um. i i lost my keys this morning why. a's this everybody just. that was incredible that was incredible. how fast you guys learn. so i remember being in this class and. mind you this is at a time when i was a. liberal i was on the left it was fired. up feminism sounds great feminism 101.

let's do it. but eventually i said oh i just. everything is just because of men i feel. like there's got to be a little bit more. going on and there's one particular. class that i always tell people about. and i will never forget it because. retrospectively it was a turning point. for me. she plucked out one of her things from. this textbook this wonderful textbook. every promised beginning of time and it. was a statistic. scary statistic. said. 89 percent of the people in this country.

that have an eating disorder are women. she turns her classroom and she said why. goodness. einstein's in here it's just incredible. and everyone in the class was you know. these people had some of people had. picked the class and they're nodding and. she went on and she said it's because. men. make us feel like we have to be skinny. and they're controlling the advertising. industry and i put my hand up and i said. oh this one i'm just gonna have to try. to rebut a little bit and she looked at. me because we'd do this back and forth.

and she was like ah. candace. what what could you possibly have wrong. with what i just said i said professor i. just i just feel like there might be. something else going on i don't think. everything can be because of men. and and she looked at me. and i'll never forget the words she. uttered to me she said. you know candace. i just feel like. you were sent to me from the men's. department.

i'll never forget what i said back to. her. i said you know professor i just feel. like i was sent to you from the common. sense department. there might be something else going on. that requires a little more critical. thinking than men. and we kept trading back and forth and. we kept going and and eventually i i hit. her with a bomb. i said you know i actually have an. eating disorder. many of you that follow my story know.

and and a lot of this is in my book as. well that from the age of 18 to 22 i had. anorexia so here i was sitting in her. classroom. and rather than turning around and. asking us really genuinely ladies why do. you think we have this problem she was. telling me why i had this problem and. she was wrong there was never an eating. disorder because of men there was. something men ever said to me my eating. disorder wasn't even about being skinny. it was a control mechanism when i felt. that things in my childhood were out of.

my control i said this is something i. can control i can control how much i eat. and i became obsessed with it because it. gave me control and it gave me power. that was what it was about had nothing. to do with men the idea of men even. calling other women fat is i mean that's. exclusively a girl on girl crime. and here i am you know i'm right you. know i'm right. guys you'd be like oh she's thick. girl's like she's fat she's fat.

in that moment. fellas like thank you thank you. but you know in that moment and i look. back. and that moment was so critical it was. so critical because what i was watching. was liberalism versus conservatism you. see liberals. when they have a problem they look. externally they say who can i blame who. can i blame if i'm poor i can blame rich. people if i have an issue and i'm black. i can blame white people if i'm skinny i. can blame fat people right you know this.

uh what's it called body positivity. movement right right. yeah i'm blaming skinny people for the. fact that i don't like my fat right this. is what the left is all about it's the. opposite game give them enough time. it'll be the short versus the tall right. but conservatism is something different. it's something that i believe in. you see when we have a problem we look. internally. we say how can i fix it how did i get. here what can i do to change my destiny.

how can i correct this course that is. conservatism. i always say that that moment and and. that challenge that was presented to me. when trump came down the escalator which. spiraled and led me here was a god-given. moment and i will tell you what it is. that that he's taught me that i think. has been the greatest blessing of my. life. he taught me for the first time ever how. to love the american flag. how to love this country.

right. he taught me how to love the red white. and blue something that you don't learn. in school you learn in school how to. hate america you should feel guilty. about being american while everyone else. is suffering we should feel guilty about. capitalism we should give it all away. we're horrible people. trump made me realize that there is so. much beauty and patriotism because do. you know what patriotism does not know. color.

patriotism does not care about your sex. patriotism does not care about your. gender patriotism cares about your ideas. america. is united by a concept about an idea and. that idea. is that you can come from nothing you. can come from absolutely nothing in this. country but if you work hard and stay. out of trouble this country will reward. you that is the american dream.

there is no person that has lived that. dream. greater or more more to the truth than. my idol my everyday inspiration my. mentor my best friend. my grandad. my grandfather uh er is um. he's about 80 now. and he was born on a in the segregated. south in fayetteville north carolina on. a sharecropping farm so his first job. was laying out tobacco to dry.

and he was five years old five years old. that was his first job he'd get up. before the crack of dawn because. otherwise it was too hot under the. carolina heat and he'd have to pick. cotton and lay out tobacco to dry. never ever ever in my life did my. grandfather ever tell me that i couldn't. do something because of the color of my. skin i've never heard my grandfather. make a negative comment and i grew up in. his house during my formative years. about white people ever he just believed. in hard work he just believed in god he.

just believed in family. he also believed in lectures every. single morning we'd have to we'd have to. read the bible around the table. and he'd ask us to he'd read a scripture. we have to learn something from it he'd. make these big southern breakfasts he. had weird rules too like no elbows on. the table and if we if we broke the. rules he'd always incorporate us into a. prayer which was horrible because i was. young and i thought he was telling god. on me so he'd say.

dear god please help candace realize. that she shouldn't you know she. shouldn't be turning the heat on in the. middle of the night and i go and then i. start crying and i say why are you. telling god then i'd run from the table. and run upstairs. and i look back on that now it was stuff. that used to embarrass me when i was a. kid so you know i went i was a part of. the secular world i went to school it. wasn't cool to talk about god it wasn't. cool to say oh this morning we read. scriptures i just wanted to fit in i was. so embarrassed of that upbringing when i. was young i look back now and i just i.

genuinely thank god i thank god for my. grandparents i thank god for those. breakfasts. because they've now provided um a pillar. in my life and i will end this by. telling you where granddad is now. granddad after moving up north marrying. my grandmother when he was 17 years old. he stayed married to her until his dying. day. 53 years later in 2013. and when he retired he moved back to.

fayetteville north carolina and he. purchased that sharecropping farm that. he grew up in. that is the american dream. that i am giving back to our community i. am giving back to our community that we. can work hard and we deserve a piece of. that dream after all of that time.
