I am not aware of her ever claiming to be a progressive but I do know she claimed the "liberal" label before overnight becoming a conservative.

I couldn't give less of a frick about Candace Owens my dude. I'm here to stir the pot and laugh at you guys fawning over her.

Lol. Hilarious how a smart black chick has you riled up. Just look at the language you use. Token, white knight, simp, call a spade a spade. You're clearly dumber than a bag of hammers, entirely incapable of intelligent discourse.

Did you watch the clip from Rogan?

And how can you rip her for using "talking points", all while using buzzwords like "grifter" and "boomer"? fricking clown..
nothing but a talking point machine
Look - just because you label some bullshite a "talking point", doesn't mean it doesn't pack truth. But you already knew that..

I KNOW Tami Lahren is a fraud, Beck sent her packing years ago because she is no conservative. I would trust Candace Owens to be legit way more than her. This comes from an old,redneck fart too

Look, the best way I can explain Candace Owens detractors is the following:
The problem is not that Owens has right-wing viewpoints. There are plenty of other black figureheads who have conservative stances on politics and just lack the media attention necessary to build a larger platform.
The problem is the rhetoric and delivery of those viewpoints.
Two definitions of rhetoric
***the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the use of figures of speech and other compositional techniques.
***language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect on its audience, but often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content.
She relies on propaganda talking points such as "blacks are brain-washed" or "democratic plantation" that a certain segment of this board likes because it matches their world view. The irony is that those exact same terms could be used for rural white voters in areas that have been GOP for decades but not seen any significant economic growth.
This is inherently ignorant, not just on Owens but any conservative commentator. People have multiple reasons they vote Democratic and many of them based on the same personal motivations, fears, and groupthink that Republicans do. Nobody is coerced to vote for either party. There is no "plantation". Conservatives are just angry because people don't want to live the same way they do or have different priorities in life.
The only thing this type of language does is prevent Blacks or any targeted group from joining the GOP. You adore people like Owens because "I don't want to acknowledge there may be underlying biases to a problem, so I will just ignore the problem"

I find this thread funny because I really can't know if she really has converted to conservatism or not and neither can her detractors
But what I DO know is that the attacks on her are completely predictable.
Every black who has EVER become well known for espousing conservative views creates a five alarm fire for the left's plantation owners.
That the people in this thread think this isn't completely transparent is just comical

"She's nothing but talking points!"
And if she turned into Candace F. Buckley or droned on for 48 minutes about some arcane point of the tax code they'd bust her for being a bore.

How old was the clip? If it was over a year or two old I can believe Owens was pretty “green”, she’s become a very good conservative pundit over the past couple of years....it takes time.
Dude...she unironically said she doesn't trust a website with .org in the name.
How are you people still simping for her?
It is fricking pathetic and she still won't frick you no matter how hard you simp.
You seem agitated .....lol!

I admit that the Boy Who Cried Wolf is in order here. There have been media attacks on REAL Black conservatives so much that it only makes sense people would stop listen after so many bad takes.
To be fair, it's only Owens and Kanye that I don't believe are true conservatives. Kanye in particular is worse than Owens because he actually has a history of being a reactionary.
Remember George Bush Jr and Katrina? Also remember that Kanye has a personal friendship with Trump. Is he going to be pro Republican when Trump is no longer POTUS.

That woman can tell it like it is, the two white women were clearly out matched. Ms Owens has a great future ahead of her. I just wish more black people would hear her words.

All of that is great but NONE of that is why Kanye, Candace, or any prior black supporting Republicans has been attacked.
They are ALL attacked for the same reason.
That reason is that there is absolutely NOTHING normal about any group voting at a 95% rate for either side. This result is achieved 100% via fear and, having ANY black take the Republican side without going scorched Earth on them risks this fear not holding any longer.
That is the ONLY reason they are attacked. There is literally ZERO nuance to it.

Laying the real issues out there for black America. The Dems just want to play identity politics. She’s the modern day MLK fighting for better race relations all the while msm do all they can to silence her

Except whites don't vote 90-95% one way or another.
False equivalence.

Such as high percentage is more than just poor Black people. That means that Democratic control over Blacks goes beyond socioeconomic lines.
