Opening Remarks Candace Owens at BLEXIT Greenville
ladies and gentlemen without further ado. please give a big welcome to your blexit. founder. candice owens. hey hey guys. man it's so nice to be back on stage in. a room with people. all this coven 19 craziness look at this.
right. this is awesome guys so awesome. so much i want to say here but i'm going. to speak later i just want to get the. show started and basically give you guys. a background. hey bryson hey parson. bryson has a song called i feel like. candace owens be sure to download that. at some point it's a great song um. okay right. um this is amazing uh just first off.
it's just amazing to be in the room with. everybody after. everybody being separated um just so not. natural for humanity to. to go through that and to be separate. [Music]. i want to tell you guys a little bit. about the blexit story why i started. this 501c3. not-for-profit um where my heart was and. why i think. this is the most significant thing that. is happening in america right. now um and to all of you guys who have. volunteered were now. in 20 plus states these.
people put their heart into this and. people. laughed and thought it would never. happen um you know we start with the we. got love video we created this i have an. amazing creative team because. i just never remembered growing up. america feeling. the way that it feels right now or. looking the way that it looked right now. i don't remember this black community. that the media is showing us this angry. uh bitter looting rioting upset that's.
not what the black community. was when i was growing up. i grew up watching the fresh prince of. bel-air. the jeffersons the winslow's. family matters all of these shows that. were about. family togetherness about having issues. with solving them at the dinner table by. the end of the day. and that if there was an american spirit. at that time. i swear the 90s was the golden decade i. have very fond memories of the 90s.
and suddenly we've seen a dramatic shift. and suddenly everything is racialized. right. and suddenly it's black versus white and. and we are not allowed to be in the room. together like we are right now. uh because all of you white people are. racist and all of you black people are. oppressed. and there's this horrible horrible. fracturing of. americanism that's happening in the. process we're forgetting what it means. to be an american.
so we started the blexit organization. blexit. i'm sure you figured out by now stands. for the black exit. encouraging minorities to exit from this. progressive narrative. to realize that we value the same things. in life. this country we value faith we value. family but most importantly we value. freedom. [Music]. we value the ability for us to make. our free decision to come here today.
right to decide. to be with one another not to have a. government tell us where we can go. what we can do and who we can speak to. that's what this country was founded. upon. so tonight you're going to hear from an. amazing cast of speakers. people that i look up to that have. mentored me. and you're going to see what i view. to be the black story in america we're. going to go through. three phases the first is the concept of. liberation.
um which was i guess this idea that. after slavery black people. had been freed and yet something. happened. in the 1960s with lyndon baines johnson. and the proliferation of the welfare. state. um and everything changed and suddenly. black america arrived suddenly into the. wilderness. which is where we are today right where. we see a desolate community a hopeless. community and it's a community. that the government has stripped.
everything away from you know when the. government decides it's going to be your. god it's going to be your family. um and last of all we will not leave you. on a sad note we're going to. take you to the promised land which is. where i believe. we are going. so ladies and gentlemen without further. ado. thank you guys so much for coming it's. going to be a wonderful show with the. most impactful speakers i will be out. later. but just oh by the way i'm pregnant. [Applause].
just wanted to throw that out there for. fun. six months very exciting stuff. [Applause]. people keep asking me what it is it's a. patriot it's a patriot. [Applause]. [Music]. [Laughter]. so ladies and gentlemen enjoy the show. we have so much to show you and we'll. get started thanks so much i'll be back. [Music].
