Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we are rolling into another episode of the Candace Owens show.
How many times have you been called a white supremacist, a racist, a self-hating black?
And this is incredible because you're from Africa, right? So this is the irony of this is like
the whole black liberal thing is you took us away from Africa and like, you know,
and they always try to play the like, we're African card, even though they've never been
probably couldn't point out on a map. But now they are all about their roots. Now you have a person
perfect. She's born in Zimbabwe. She lived there for 19 years. She came to this country. She worked
hard. You're a racist, a racist and a white supremacist. I get that all the time. And it's
just shocking. I'm like, what do you mean? Like, what do you mean? So it's just ridiculous. I mean,
what you're seeing, I mean, you see white liberals that call me all kinds of names. I've been called
all kinds of names by white liberals, because they hate the fact that I don't toe the line of
how they think a black person should think, you know, the whole narrative that America is a
systematically racist country is a total contradiction to the experience that I've had
living in this country, especially because the person that caused the most harm to your country
is a black man. Right. Exactly. A black African man, a black African man. And I escaped that
situation and came to this country and was able to make something of myself. Whereas if I had
stayed in my country under a black president, I never would have been who I am today. Right. So
it's almost like race doesn't matter. It's actually the values and the principles that people are
putting into place. What a crazy, crazy idea. Right. And you and I share something in common.
So I know that this must be something else you get. We are both in biracial marriages. Right.
Right. So you came to this very racist country, America, fell in love with a white man. Yes. Right.
And you have biracial children. Right. So are your children half oppressed and half privileged?
That's what I keep asking myself. When you look at them, are you like,
is that the little oppressed person in you or the little privileged person in you?
Exactly. And that's that's the division that we're seeing in this nation is,
you know, when I came over here, I never pictured myself with a white person. So
initially when my husband was pursuing me, I kind of thought it was weird. I was I had never like
seen myself with with a white man. But and I was actually surprised because in Zimbabwe,
you know, we have white people in Zimbabwe, but white people and black people usually don't marry.
If you see an interracial couple in Zimbabwe, it's usually a white person from outside the
country, like from Germany or Sweden or whatever. But like white Zimbabweans and black, they don't
ever intermarry. So you never, you know, like thinking of marrying somebody who's white,
like never crosses your mind, you know. So when I came over here, I was surprised when
like white guys started hitting on me. I'm like, this is weird.
Especially in a racist country. Exactly.
You have you have a chance for upward mobility. It doesn't matter where you start. You can finish
on top. You can move. And it's so unique about America. And because most Americans don't travel.
Right. They don't understand. They don't understand how special it is. Yes. And that
is why I think you get so many immigrants coming from Africa who are like, what is wrong with you?
Like, I can work 10 jobs and move up a social class. I'm doing it. Right. Exactly. Exactly.
Absolutely. We need more black Americans to spend time with Africans. Yes. You know,
spend time in Africa. I always say if I become president, I'm going to do a trade program. So
every black American is like, I hate America. You took us from America. We're going to take
you right back to you. You're right. We did that. We're wrong. And we're going to bring
you right back to Africa. And we're going to do a swap program. So for every person
that's complaining about America, there's an African that can't wait to get to America and
would die for the opportunity to transform America. Yes, it would. In seconds.
It's easier to yell and scream about racism than it is to look at black people and say,
we have to change our behavior. We have to do better. We have to we have to raise our game.
I remember when the Dream Team destroyed the whole world in the Olympics and we won by 40,
50 points. The rest of the world didn't say, let's lower the hoop. Let's widen the hoop for us. They
got better. They raised their game. And the rest of the world is no longer getting destroyed the
way they used to. We need to raise our game. We need to graduate from high school. We need to
stop having children outside of wedlock. We need to to do the right thing by the children that we
bring into the world. And we're not doing that. That's exactly right. And we're not competing.
And what I think we're suffering from also is this. We have no self-confidence. We don't think
we can. Like we've been sold. And I think from the time that we step into school that we can't
write. Here are the reasons you can't. We are handed so many excuses before we even get out
into the real world that it's become a plague on black America. One of the last times I was on CNN,
I mentioned a poll that was done by CNN and Time magazine in 1997. And black teens and white teens
were asked about racism. And not too surprisingly, most most of them, both black teens and white
teens felt that racism was a major problem in America. But then blacks were asked, is racism
a major problem, a minor problem or no problem in your own daily life? Eighty nine percent,
Candace, of black teens said racism was a minor problem or no problem in my own daily life.
In fact, more black teens and white teens said failure to take advantage of available opportunities
is a bigger problem than racism. So I mentioned that to Don Lemon last time I was on CNN.
That was the last time I was on CNN. Oh, Don Lemon. Yeah, exactly right. He's
almost had me on a few times. He's had me on a few times. He picks his guests very carefully
because he likes to believe he's the smartest person in the room. But I think he's a total
intellectual coward, to be honest with you. He's a victocrat. He's one of these well-groomed,
well-dressed, well-paid young black people that sit around and talk about how difficult it is
for you to do what I've done. Right. And he's and he's said some stunning things about white males.
And yet he's he's dating a white male. I think he called them all. Maybe it wasn't predators,
another word that he used. And I recall it was just stunning to me because he's literally dating
a white male. So I guess he's scared when he goes home. You know, I don't I don't know if it's a
certain region of where we should be afraid of white people. But the entire debate has gotten
insane. And to me, when you see people step to the stage like Elizabeth Warren and she's offering
reparations. No, no, no. She wants she wants to have a full throated national debate. Yeah.
About reparations. Let's do that right now. Let's have a full throated national, not a regional
national debate about reparations, which means what? Stop promising black people handouts every
election cycle. It actually drives me insane and more insane is the fact that I mean, and I think
it's less and less. I have to say, I think black America is finally trending in the right direction.
I walk down the street, black people come up to me and they say, you changed my mind or I think I
might be a conservative. I'm like, yeah, I think we all are when you get into it. But it's just so
stunning and it's so insulting that every four years it's just free stuff. We're going to promise
you free stuff. Right. We're not going to have a discussion with you about the issues, the issues
that your community are facing. We're not going to talk to you about what Larry Elder might tell
you or this and that. We're just going to offer you free stuff. So take your poison. Would you
like a Jay-Z concert? Would you like a Beyonce concert? Or would you like reparations, which
maybe after we have a full throated national conversation about it might amount to four
hundred dollars on the weekend, like for you to go to the club? I've I've been on radio for 25
years and 25 years. I've not been able to get Jesse Jackson on as a guest. I haven't been able
to get Al Sharpton on as a guest, even though I've tried. I haven't been able to get on Louis
Farrakhan as a guest, even though I've tried. I was able to get one so-called black leader on my
show. His name is Kweisi Mfume. At the time, he was head of the NAACP. And I said, Mr. Mfume,
as between the presence of white racism or the absence of black fathers, which poses the bigger
threat to the black community? To his credit, he said, without missing a beat, the absence of black
fathers. And that is the number one, number two, number three, number four and number five problem
in the black community. And a kid today is less likely to be born under a roof with his mother,
biological mother and biological father than a kid during slavery. In 1965, 25 percent of black kids
were born outside of wedlock. Now that number is almost 70 percent. You cannot blame that on
slavery. Clearly, 2019 is less racist than 1965, which is less racist than 1865. That is the number
one problem facing the black community. And forget about Larry Elder. Obama said a kid who does not
have a father in the house is five times more likely to be poor, nine times more likely to drop
out of school, 20 times more likely to end up in jail. It is far and away the number one problem.
Now, how do you deal with that? How do you deal with that problem other than tell people to change
their behavior, change their attitude and behave more responsibly? Well, I also think that the
source of all that, all of those statistics is really our marriage to the government. That's
what happened. If you want to talk about systemic, I always say, you know, is this systemic racism?
Yeah. There's a noose and you can hang yourself with it if you want to go and take from the
government. Yeah, you'll find it. It's been systemized to make sure that you will never,
ever get off of the government handouts. I know that because I lived it.
Elevating black people now requires hard work, telling them to be responsible,
telling them not to blame other people. And that's hard work. It's much easier to point
to somebody else and say, here's your plight. Here's why you're the way you are. And that's
why they don't want to do this. And that's why people like you and me are considered to be evil,
because we're considered to be enemies. Why are you attacking me? Because all
the people that you guys are supporting, they have no connection to anything.
They may be famous, they may this, but when it comes to actual power,
they don't have any. I'm the conduit for you guys. I'm the ear that for them to be like,
yo, look, this is what's going on in the neighborhood. This is what we need.
But they'll attack me for it, thinking that I'm not helping my people. They're like,
oh, you got a whole bunch of white fans. I'm like, well, my white fans, you know what they
tell me in my DM? They don't go, thank you for what you're doing for us. They go,
I love what you're doing for your community. They're not saying I love what you do for us
as Americans. I mean, a lot of them do, but they always add, I love what you're doing
for your community. But they look at it as, oh, you're just doing what they want you to do.
You want to be white. I'm like- Isn't that crazy though? I mean,
because some of the stuff that people say in our community, and I am convinced that we are
the most racist, but somehow we've sanctioned being racist towards white people, so nobody
recognizes as racism, right? So case in point, when I posted a photo of my husband and someone
wrote, I mean, the racist comments on there for black people, this must be why she's conservative.
Oh, the white man, this. I said, just imagine that reversed. Imagine a white guy is married
to a black woman and he posts a photo of his black wife and a bunch of white people comment
under there. Oh, look, that's why you're betraying our race. It's unfathomable. Could you imagine if
a bunch of white people commented under that after seeing a black woman marrying a white man,
people would go crazy. They would say this is an example of racism, but black people do it
comfortably. Talking about, and I'm sitting here, when you even say that, you should be ashamed of
yourself for not knowing your history. Your ancestors died for that right, okay? Love versus
Virginia, the Supreme Court case, when they literally got imprisoned, a black and a white
person for falling in love. You know what I mean? These people fought to end that sort of
discrimination so that you could marry who you love, right? True equality, being able to marry
who you love, where their background doesn't matter, and you're ashamed of that. You say you
want integration, but you're fighting for more segregation. You want people to hate white. I
don't hate white people. I don't feel that way. I don't feel like I have to hate white people to
love my people. That's it. It's not an either or. I love all people if they're good, and I hate all
people if they're stupid. Stupid comes in every different color. You know what I mean? Every
different color, every ethnicity. I've seen stupid all across the board. I hate that that pressure
that is applied that this is what it means to be black. I'm thinking to myself- What is the
definition of that? I actually did a post about it. I said, what is it that defines me being black?
Is it because I'm doing something positive? Because if you look at it, we're only doing
positive things for our community. In order for us to be accepted as black, we have to be doing
negative. You have to be killing people. You have to be popping drugs. You have to be on some dumb
stuff. That's not what we represent. We don't come from that. Talk to me about the ones that didn't
care about none of that, like Jack Johnson, who was the first black celebrity boxer. At that time,
like you said, they would go to jail. He married a white woman. He did. He did. He went to prison
for it. Actually, it's funny because the president is the one that really told me the story and why
he wanted to pardon him. To me, I think it's that part of the gap that we're facing is that there's
this educational gap where you have a bunch of black people who know nothing about black history.
They only know black president. They only know black media and what people are telling them and
what it means to be black. Then you have that culture being acquiesced by celebrities who are
largely ignorant. LeBron James is number one. He's so talented on the court, but this is not
an educated man. He takes the bait and a bunch of people follow him and they go,
oh yes, LeBron's actually black. LeBron, you are hurting black America when you lie,
when you don't research the fact. When you send a tweet and say we're literally being hunted
absent any facts, you're not a hero in that regard. You're not being a hero. You're being
an idiot. You're spreading that idiocy very quickly throughout our community.
Your influence is huge.
Your influence is huge. You have a responsibility to either shut up or research and know your facts.
If you're not going to research and know your facts, then we just need you to play basketball
because you're brilliant at that. You should be celebrated on the court. You're an amazing talent.
When you have our people outside from behind your Bel Air multi-million dollar mansion,
having them run outside, moving now quickly to this defund the police, it's not going to hurt
him. He's got private guards. This man has a white chef, white gardener. He's got white people
waiting on him hand and foot. Let me tell you, if that is racism, I want it today. Please,
let me get more of that. Whatever LeBron James' racism is, I want that racism.
The reason why they're afraid is because they know that everyone gets called racist and bigot and
everything. For me, my reaction is on the extreme other end, where it's just, I know you're going
to call me that anyway, no matter what I do. I just don't care at all. It doesn't mean anything
to me to be called racist or homophobe or sexist. That's unfortunate. It should mean something.
It's a horrible thing to actually be racist. There are racist people out there,
terrible to be racist. It should be a meaningful accusation.
It's not anymore.
It's not. The way I look at it, that's not my fault. The fact that I don't care that you're
calling me that is not my fault. It's your fault for calling everybody that. When you say the word
racist, I don't know what you're describing. You could be describing an actual racist,
but nine times out of 10, you're just talking about someone who expressed an opinion you don't
like. I'm supposed to take that seriously now? For me, it just doesn't.
I'm going to be honest. I think if you're going to make an argument that we live in a society
where racism is rampant, then you're talking about racism towards white people. I know that's
going to be controversial, and someone's going to pull that clip, and I'll see it on the internet
in a few weeks. When I look at the society that we live in, what I do is an exercise where I
replace the word black with white or white with black. I'll be reading an article on BuzzFeed,
scrolling through it. It'll pop up on my Twitter feed, and it'll say,
white people need to shut up. I'll replace that word and say, I can't imagine an experience as
a black person scrolling through my Twitter feed and BuzzFeed writes, black people need to just
shut up. That is just so racist. It's okay. 10 things white people need to stop doing.
These are real articles. I can't imagine turning on my screen and seeing 10 things black people
need to stop doing. This would never happen. Yet, it's become so permissible to white America for
this to happen. People don't even acknowledge that this is racism. They say reverse racism
can't exist. You're right. It's just racism. It's not reverse. It's just racism. To me,
the fact that it's become okay is partly because of this element of white guilt,
where people are just taking it. White people are just taking it. The bowing,
the washing people's ... I'm like, honestly, if you're doing it, you deserve it. If you're that
much of an idiot that somebody has convinced you that you should be on your knees cleaning
somebody's feet, then you're just an idiot. You know what I mean? There's nothing that really can
be done about that. I think we live in a tremendously racist society towards white
people. Yes, there is racism towards black people. There's racism towards Chinese people,
but it is overwhelmingly, at this point in society, towards white people.
And you talked about the bowing thing. That video of the guy going through New York,
telling random white people to get on their knees before him and apologize.
That guy was just a troll. I think what he did was brilliant, actually. It's hilarious.
He had no trouble. Almost every white person he found would get on their knees. I think
anthropologists of the future are going to look at that video to try to figure out ... That's
going to be a very important video to figure out what the hell happened to this society.
Here's the issue with ... We call it reverse racism. I agree. The phrase doesn't make any
sense. Racism and racism. But kids are indoctrinated, especially in college,
into this idea that racism has nothing to do with, really, hating someone because of their race.
Racism is all about power. It's something that only the powerful, the systemically powerful
in society can be and can express. They all automatically have it. If you're white,
then you have systemic privilege automatically. Along with that, you have racism. It's just
inherent to you. If you're indoctrinated into that belief, then you're going to think,
there's nothing wrong with insulting white people. I can't be racist. On top of that,
they're all racist. That's what I was told in college. This is literally what colleges ... This
is what colleges are literally teaching kids, that every white person is racist, and it's
impossible to be racist against them. You want to talk about failures of conservatives, again,
the left. Far left radicals took over academia, absolutely took it over, and are now indoctrinating,
not just indoctrinating kids into far left beliefs, but we are paying tens of thousands
of dollars to these institutions to brainwash our kids. On the first day, they're shown their
safe space in the school, and they're all required to take what's called a diversity course. In the
diversity course, they're encouraged to go around the classroom and explain how they know that
their skin color is wrong, what their white privilege affords them, and how they're going
to try to fix it. Now, again, I play that game where I switch the scenario. That's what I always
do in my head. I couldn't imagine being a black girl in school and being told to say what's wrong
about my skin color and how I'm going to change it, and this happens. People don't think this is
racism. Actually, they think this is diversity. This is tolerance. This is a good thing. If you're
teaching somebody, I think there's something fundamentally wrong with their skin. We have
already done this in American society. This is wrong. This is racist. This should not be allowed.
I asked her mother, why would you allow this to go on? She says, we just want to keep the peace.
We worked really hard to get her in that school. Obviously, to get into the private schools in
New York, I don't know if this is everywhere, but you have to go in for interviews, and we just
don't want to have any trouble. Well, this is why conservatives take it, and leftists would never
take it if the shoe was on the other foot. Yeah, they wouldn't. It shows you the programming. You
have to program a kid to be racist. I believe that. I think about that quote from Morgan Freeman,
the famous quote. I think it was on 60 Minutes where he was asked, how do you end racism in
America? He said, stop talking about it. I think it's one of the most profound things anyone has
said recently about racism. Especially these days, we live in a very diverse country. Most
diverse country that's ever existed, by far. Many kids grew up like I did, growing up on the East
Coast. I grew up in a school, and there was black, white kids, Hispanic. We had a lot of Asian kids
as well. You just don't think anything of it. These are just the kids that you're with, and
they're your friends. It doesn't occur to you. You notice the physical differences, but you don't
attach any value to that or anything. If you put a black person in a white neighborhood,
they fare better. Same for a black student. Black students fare better in classrooms with
all white people than they do if they are put into classrooms with all black people.
Why is that? You can't keep blaming white people. There has to be something else going on. It's
we don't value education. We just don't value it. I have to say, Candace, I get weary at the demand
that is made. Again, it's codependent. I'm not letting whites off the hook here because they
encourage it and capitulate. I get weary of the demand to lower standards. The racial preferences,
we're getting rid of now. SATs, we're getting rid of GREs in graduate school. Engineering
departments are getting rid of GREs in math to be an engineer. It's just extraordinary
because they all have disparate impact. Any kind of academic colorblind standard, it turns out,
has a disparate impact on blacks negatively because of that academic skills gap. Why don't
you say, I'm going to meet the damn standard? Instead, the demand is always lower the standard
to let me in. Again, whites give in and they say, okay, you're right. It would be racist to expect
you to have the same academic profile as whites and Asians to be admitted to this school. Therefore,
we're going to have over a standard deviation below of SATs and GPA to let you in so that we
have our wonderful diversity. Of course, as you well know, that policy of lowered standards in,
say, college admissions produces mismatch. The blacks who were let in under those lowered
standards cannot compete as a female wouldn't. This is not about race. It's about preferences.
If MIT admits me because it decides it needs more females and I have a 650 on my math SAT
out of 800 and my peers have 800, I'm going to flounder my first year. I'm going to drop out
of freshman calculus. I'm not going to keep up. And I'm going to decide I'm not set out for a STEM
field. Same thing with blacks when you admit them in with preferences. Now, those blacks who are
admitted on the same standard do perfectly well. Everybody should be matched to their academic
skills level. But instead, nobody's saying meet the damn standard. I have a thought experiment.
If blacks acted like Asians for 10 years in all things related to success, so you had parents
that were obsessive about their children's academic work, attending school, not dissing the teacher,
not having your back turned, not screaming in class, taking your textbook home, studying for
a test, not getting involved in gangs, drugs, two-parent families. If after 10 years of that
sort of Asian behavior, we still saw racial disparities. At that point, I'm going to start
listening to you talking about systemic racism. But right now, the behavioral disparities are so
great. And it is those disparities which explain these ongoing gaps. And that's why I say we have
to take on the myth of bias and say that there are cultural differences and very glaring
behavioral differences. If you have a 71 to 73 percent out-of-wedlock birth rate in the black
community compared to, say, 16 percent in the Asian community, game over. That's all you need to know.
White privilege consists of this, that whites are still a third as likely to grow up in a single
parent household as blacks. If it gets up to 71 percent for whites, I can guarantee you we're
going to see the same level of dysfunction. But right now, that is the white privilege, is that
you have not just two parents, but more importantly still, at least among the elites, a culture
that expects males to develop self-control and bourgeois values to find a mate.
And I'll just counter, that's not white privilege. That's privilege, period. I don't care what
color you are. If you come from a two-parent household, a stable two-parent household,
you are privileged. And when people try to tell me, you know, that just the color of your skin
will disadvantage you. I mean, I was disadvantaged, sure. But it wasn't because of the color of my
skin. It was because of decisions that my parents made. You know, my mother didn't graduate high
school. You know what I mean? And I didn't come from a stable two-parent household scenario. So
signing up for student loans, not knowing what they meant, not having that guidance,
that wasn't because of the color of my skin. You know, do you think that Malia and Sasha Obama
are disadvantaged because of the color of their skin?
Apparently, yes. Right.
Do you think that Malia Obama and Sasha Obama grew up in the same way I grew up?
And if your answer is no, then you are acknowledging that what we're talking about
has nothing to do with racial differences or racial disparities. They are disparities,
and there are privileges that are afforded, but it has nothing to do with the color of our skin.
You can have the same exact privileges if you make the same exact behavioral decisions.
And that is so important. And I just, you know, I beat that drum every single day when I say all
the time, I am not fond of what Black culture has become. You know, it's disintegrated. It
disintegrates every decade. It gets worse and worse. I consider myself to be a Black American
from the 1950s, 1940s, my grandfather's time when they grew up, and it was about respect,
values, hard work. And my grandfather fared better than my father did. And he grew up in a time
under Jim Crow. I mean, think about that. That's fascinating. Because Black culture has shifted.
I've gotten in arguments with people who are trying to argue with me that I am oppressed.
So I'm here saying, like, no, I'm good. Like, I'm fine. I'm not oppressed. I'm actually—
You are oppressed.
And it leads to anger, right? It leads to anger. I mean, there was one guy—this was just online.
This was in, like, some YouTube comments. I'd said something on a—I'd commented on a video,
or it was one of mine or something. And they went into some huge tirade about how can you,
as a Black man, as a descendant of slaves, blah, blah, blah. I was like, I didn't descend from
slaves, bro. Because he automatically assumed I'm Black American, right? And I was like,
my ancestors weren't slaves, man. Like, that's not even my history. So if I'm talking, say,
about the U.K. or about the U.S.A. with someone, and someone's like, oh, the U.K. is a terrible
country, or America is a terrible country, or whatever. And I'm like, what are you comparing it
to? And someone who leans more left, normally they're comparing it to a utopia that doesn't
exist and has never existed. Like, their version— But they're going to create it.
Their version of the perfect world. Whereas I find more conservative-minded people,
it's more realistic. You're comparing it to history. So what you were just saying,
about your grandparents. And myself, my grandparents grew up in Nigeria and would
have lived a much harder life in many ways than I have and my siblings have and everything.
And you could go back 50, 60 years and you're like, okay, there was some real stuff to— there
was a lot of stuff to complain about at that time. And they didn't.
Or if they did, they did it and they got stuff done.
They got it done. There was actually something they were fighting for. I don't know what we're
fighting for anymore, Black America. I look around and I'm like, hey guys, so there's no
more segregation. We can do whatever we want. Now we're fighting for the right— this is what I
believe, the Black American argument right now. And now it's spreading, obviously, because what
did you say backstage? When America sneezes, the UK catches a cold.
Right, right. So now it's spreading. So America is sneezing and here's what's coming out.
If you figure out how you're a victim, whether it's because you're a woman or because you're
Black, they want the ability to be able to not work and have everything. That's really what I've
been trying to get to with what the frustration is. I haven't done anything, but why don't I have
everything? And why does that guy, who has done a whole lot, have things?
Evil capitalism.
Yeah. And it's because of capitalism and I'm enraged. You know, it's because of the color
of his skin. You know, it's because he's a man. You know, it's because he's straight. And I'm just
like—
Stop.
Please stop. Please stop and get to work. Please stop and get to work. If my granddaddy could do
it, anybody can do it. You know what I mean? In America, I really do believe that.
The problems are pretty obvious, okay? And they're not—certainly these days,
they're not coming from any sort of direct oppression or the white man—like,
if loads of young Black men are killing loads of other young Black men in America—
How is it white people's fault?
Yeah. You're not going to convince me that that's the fault of anybody but themselves.
They try it.
Yeah, exactly. I know people try it. And I find it incredible as well. You know,
you've got movements like Black Lives Matter and whatnot, where so much of the focus is on,
say, police—say, on the police, okay? What's the number of Black people killed by the police in
the USA or the UK compared to the number killed by other Black people?
Oh, well, I can tell you 98% of Black people are killed by other Black people. You have a higher
chance of getting struck by lightning than you do of being killed unarmed by a police officer
as a Black person.
There we go, okay? And we can say this because we've got Black privilege, right? But if someone
who were not of our race were to point that out, then I don't want to—
A stat.
Their career would be over.
I don't want to know. I don't want to know what their thing would be. It's kind of painful
because I'm like, I do want this thing to be resolved. Like, nothing pains me more than—
And I also want it to be not true, right, Guy?
Yeah, exactly.
I don't want it to be true that Blacks are murdering each other faster than anybody else
could. And I say the most unsafe place for a Black person is not on the streets or in front
of a white police officer. It's in his mother's womb. It might make you uncomfortable holding up
the mirror. The only way we're going to fix the community is if we actually talk about what the
issues are. And the issue is not the white man. The issue is the fact that you guys will have
a two-year conversation about Charlottesville, and you will not talk about what's happened on
the streets of Chicago, the streets of Baltimore, the fact that there isn't a single—they couldn't
find a single Black child across five schools in Baltimore that was efficient in reading or
writing, illiteracy rates, what it means to be illiterate. How about that being something that
we took away from slavery? Why the masters didn't want us to be able to read? We aren't educated,
which makes it very easy for the media to manipulate us. And it's that ignorance of
thinking that you can't have a factual-based conversation, depending on where you live,
where you reside, the color of your skin or your gender or your sex. If you systematically were
somehow able to remove every single racist thought, racist idea, racist person from America,
the problems in Black America would be the exact same. There would be no progress,
and we would still actually be digressing as a community and as a whole. But that's not something
that makes people comfortable. And here's this—and I'll say this, it's the most controversial thing
that I've said behind closed doors—if you are, in fact, a white supremacist living in America today,
the best thing you can do is sit back and enjoy the show. Yikes. Sit back and enjoy the show,
because why go kill a Black person when you know that at faster rates Black people are killing
Black people, right? Why go advocate, even speak to the Black community about the population when
you know that we're aborting our children at a faster rate? Sit back and enjoy the show.
Why do anything in the public school system when you know that right now literacy rates are
dropping within the Black community and nobody's talking about it? Do nothing if you are a white
supremacist in America. And that is a very sad, hard truth to hit at that I'm going to get in
trouble for, because you know why? It's true. And people don't like truths because truths don't
always feel good. Nope. That was powerful. Thank you guys for watching the latest episode
of the Candace Owens Show. I hope you guys enjoyed the conversation as much as I did.
