Candace Owens Shoots On George Floyd

No, see here where your totally wrong and being blinded like many other people because of the graphic nature in which he died. That wasn't the point of the of the video or the OP at all. There was zero justification for what he did. Nobody is arguing that. Weather the victim was black, white, latin, whatever, there's no question it was excessive force and the officer should go to jail for it.
The point, is people treating Floyd like he was this great person that died at the hands of police brutality and treating him like a martyr. Here in Toronto an artist made a mural of him and similar things are happening in the U.S, when in reality he was a piece of shit. Life long criminal that didn't do anything to be a productive member of society at all, and in many people's should served a longer sentence for hold a loaded gun to a pregnant women stomach. This was a good person, so fucking stop treating him like one. The cop needs to go down, but Floyd shouldn't be remembered like he was a great black man like MLK.
You need to take a human history lesson. You won't post things as moronic as this.
Are you a recent libtard grad that believes slavery was invented during the transatlantic slave trade?
No they’re just setting the facts straight. Michael Brown to this day is seen as a victim of police brutality when he was in fact killed while assaulting a police officer. Hands up, don’t shoot was a lie but that doesn’t stop the false reporting on news and the placards in the protest with his name on it. Don’t forget that he also assaulted an old shop owner the same day.
The narrative being created that Floyd was an upstanding citizen is incorrect and it should be known. This doesn’t mean he deserved to be executed by cop but let’s not turn him into something he wasn’t because he died tragically.

Who gives a fuck?
Some idiots mis represent Michael Brown or George Floyd as saints and heroes?.... The ONLY important thing here is that Floyd was killed by excessive force during an arrest for a petty crime. Whether he was a saint or a dick or an asshole is not the central fact in issue.
This is classic "distraction" by you.
Waiting for your mic drop here, Smally.....
Are you saying your great grandfather 17 times removed was an Athenian nobleman, captured and enslaved by Julius Caesar and made to fight a tiger in the arena? And it still bothers you?
Because I don't where you're taking your rather bizarre argument...... Hopefully to somewhere colourful and interesting that we can all marvel at.
Is 9 unarmed deaths by cop in a year considered systemic (some of whom may have been deserving of it like Michael Brown)?
The USA has hundreds of millions of people and millions of police interactions each year.
Also, does this mean there is systemic cop on white violence too (they kill more unarmed white men each year)?
Lots of terms are being thrown around, I want to make sure I know the definitions being used.
So tell me how many generations removed is past slavery no longer an issue? If you can give me a number, we'll know when to put the past to rest. This will be very interesting indeed.
Go back and read his statement. You missed his point completely. He is not justifying the killing of GF in any way. He is however calling out that his killing alone is not sufficient enough reason for the instant 'martyrdom' being bestowed upon him. Mother Teresa was a role model and a martyr. GF was neither.
In another thread, guys were telling how denial of housing, jobs, bank loans, etc were all issues to blacks in the 1980's. It's not just ending slavery. It's lynching, Jim Crow and denial of normal opportunities and negativity.
You could go back a generation and these things would still be prevalent.
Aren't you being a bit dismissive? Many of us have Eastern European peasantry as our ancestors. Serfdom in Eastern Europe existed well into the nineteenth century explicitly by law or implicitly by local practice. I believe the Russian form of serfdom not only tied a serf and their offspring to the land, but eventually allowed the buying and selling of serfs. The Ottoman Empire and Imperial China allowed slavery within their borders into the twentieth century.
Certainly, we should not forget about Jim Crow and other forms of institutionalized racism. We also realize a White Eastern European could migrate to the Americas and blend into society easier than Blacks. However, the fact remains that slavery as primarily a white on black institution is historically inaccurate.
Candace Owens: Native Americans Were Cannibalistic Savages Before Being Tamed By White Christians
How much is she getting paid?
Well the Aztecs did used to sacrifice their children to their Gods and some American Indians did used to eat their enemies after battle thinking it would make them stronger warriors.
The problem with Candace is that her thought processes and opinions are not colorized by the dogmatic slave narrative. She is starting from scratch fresh and free-thinking. Making comments and basing her opinions on what she sees and hears in real-time as an intelligent and articulate free-thinking black woman raised by an old school black grandfather. A grandfather who refused to pollute her upbringing and developing mind with a dogmatic stigmatizing narrative. Candace did not learn in a black fog . Consequently for blacks raised in such homes? she is not black enough.
Hating her makes her white, understanding her makes her human.
Candace is a strong free beautiful free-thinking black woman and I just love her.

In many circles she'd be referred to as an Uncle Tom or an Oreo. To me those are just as demeaning as being called Nigger.
You've missed my "argument" entirely. I'm not comparing struggle or saying that white people are being oppressed. I'm saying that white people are not being systemically oppressed by cops even though unarmed white men are killed by cops. I'm making a simple observation about the stats that don't bare out the systemic racism that you speak of. What is systemic about 9 unarmed deaths per year? Those may include self-defense killings like in the case of Michael Brown or racist murders or accidents. But it's not something that is widespread.
The protest is about black lives being murdered by cops. I don't see how the stats align with this outpouring (even though it's well meaning). Based on the protests, my first impression is that police are randomly murdering innocent law-abiding black men daily and getting away with it with the police service's blessings, and this is why black mothers feel a need to tell their young sons to fear getting killed by police for simply being black. Yet they have a greater chance of being struck by lightening.
Why does this observation have to be lumped in with privilege, subjugation, fear, apathy, and struggle?
