You Have to Wonder Where This Woman Came From...

It appears as though Candace Owens has come out of nowhere.

About two years ago, Candace Owens posted one of her first YouTube videos that compared a young black woman admitting to her parents that she was a lesbian, compared to coming out as a Conservative. (https://youtu.be/dgKc-2rFcRw)

It was poignant and very funny...extremely well done.

Before that, by her own admission, she was a Liberal/Leftist who never thought about why...it was just what she'd been born into and a part of who she was.

Her ideological journey has been a strange one, no doubt considering she'd been the victim of an anti black hate crime herself.

"In 2007, when she was a 17-year-old high school student in her hometown of Stamford, Connecticut. In February of that year, a group of white [males] from her school reportedly left voicemails on her cell phone in which they used racial slurs and threatened to kill her.

NAACP official Scot X. Esdaile, center, and then-17-year-old Candace Owens speak to members of the media in 2007.

“They started off by telling me that they were going to kill me ‘just because’ I was black,” Owens wrote in an open letter about the incident in 2016. “They warned me that if they found me at home, they were going to unload a bullet into the back of my head. They cited other ‘niggers’ who had died before me, like Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks. They threatened to ‘tar and feather’ my family.”

One of Owens’ alleged harassers was the son of then-Stamford mayor Daniel Malloy (D-CT), who became Connecticut’s governor from 2011 - 2019. Ultimately, with the help of the NAACP, Owens’ father settled a lawsuit against Stamford Public Schools for $37,500 in 2008." (https://web.archive.org/…/naacp-leader-who-defended-candace…)

She is certainly a gifted speaker, who isn't hesitant to take on detractors.

Here she takes on the "victim mindset" that tends to cripple those who hold to it.

She also talks about how the charge of "racist" and "white supremacist" are often used by opponents to (1) shut down discussion and (2) get others to dismiss views those opponents object to.

She pointed out that Milo Yiannopoulos has been called a "white supremacist," despite being Married to a black man and she, herself has been called the same, despite being...well, black.

None of that makes any sense.

In some ways, Leftist Globalist/One World policies have moved a growing number of young black Americans toward Conservatism, as they claim, "Democrats are putting ILLEGAL immigrants ahead of black Americans."

Her recent testimony before Congress taking on Representatives Lieu and Nadler has raised her profile even more.

Like her, or not, she's become a force to be reckoned with.
