Candace Owens is ONE AA opinion who is ostracized heavily by AA community for her Uncle Ruckus level shenanigans and rightfully so. She tries so hard to boot lick for white people it's disgusting. I am not invalidating all her points as she makes some sense sometimes... but her attacking Floyd as a criminal but in the same breath saying well the police are wrong but Floyd isn't a saint is waffling to the infinity degree. Her point is useless because it adds nothing to discussion of police brutality. Yet right wingers cling to her like she is offering something novel. LMAO
Most AA don't want white people to feel guilty about their ancestors, they just want fucking equal treatment. You know white people are so successful? Because they have fucking hope! They have both their parents usually with good paying jobs and resources to make sure their kids are taking care thoroughly for the world. Case in point, me! I had the "stereotypical" white family setup and my siblings as well. Guess what, all of us are college graduates with good jobs. Our kids if we choose to have them will have those opportunities as well. I realize I am lucky af and I extremely fucking grateful for my parents. They came from poverty ridden areas with parents that did not graduate from college and could have easily went down that path. I would probably be another black male that white people deem useless and lazy because I wasn't raised to know better. My mom doesn't even know who her fucking dad was. Her mom was an alcoholic and she studied her ass in poor underfunded CPS school to get the hell of out of Caprini Green and try to make something of herself. It took her own resilience to do that... that is rare. My pops is just a poor southern Illinois black hick who was poor but he is could have been about that life too if he didn't just decide to do things differently.
Black people have been beaten down like dogs 400+ years and now white people are like OK we've been "behaving for the last 60 years! That is progress, right buddy?!??! Give black people the opportunity for good paying jobs and hope, not just resources for programs that keep them in a perpetual cycle of poverty. All the poverty ridden problems with blacks are generational... they didn't have the opportunities to build wealth or the ability to teach their kids like white people. I would love to see what the next two or three generations of blacks look like, I imagine they will be very similar to white people if white people would give them a fair fucking shake.
