The whole point of the OP posting this video was to show that the other side had some justification for doing what they did..
You need to take a human history lesson. You won't post things as moronic as this.This has to be the most inane and ignorant conclusion i have ever read someone say to justify racism and trust me i have heard them all. Everyone's ancestors were definitely not slaves at some point you idiot. If you are Black in the USA/Canada or any place out of Africa then there is a high likelihood they were.
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 whole point of the OP posting this video was to show that the other side had some justification for doing what they did. Racist's always try to prove that racism does not exist. Verify her claims against Floyd and verify the cops complaints - then tell me whats sticks more. Its obviously a narrative as there is no other side in her argument.
Well said. The man gets it, totally.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...Floyd shouldn't be remembered like he was a great black man like MLK.

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.
.
So the cop gets a pass because George Floyd was a bad person? Does an upstanding black citizen need to die before systemic racism is addressed? This has happened countless times. Nothing has been done. Floyd was the catalyst in a multitude of growing anger and frustration from black people that they were continually treated as less than human. Floyds death was the last of the domino effect. Now for once the system is seriously considering change and some people just don't like that.

Are you a recent libtard grad that believes slavery was invented during the transatlantic slave trade?
Is 9 unarmed deaths by cop in a year considered systemic (some of whom may have been deserving of it like Michael Brown)?So the cop gets a pass because George Floyd was a bad person?

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.
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.
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.Bringing up George Floyds character is completely and utterly meaningless to that fact that he was lynched in broad daylight by a racist who believed to have the system on his side. The fist thing defense attorneys (and racists) do is character defamation - as if it in some way justified what happened. I don't believe people are making him a martyr. That's what Candace wants you to believe to buy her narrative. Having a mural or statue does not mean you are a good person - just look at all the confederate statues. The fact of the matter is he was killed for just being in his car - he did not even resist arrest or act like a criminal (as if to justify his killing). His past does not come into play when the lynching happened.

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.

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.Candace Owens: Native Americans Were Cannibalistic Savages Before Being Tamed By White Christians
How much is she getting paid?

My ancestors were slaves."Dogmatic Slave Narrative?!" - unless you or your ancestors were slaves you have no right to speak on this at all. I knew there are racists on this board but to label slavery as dogmatic really stems from a psychology of innate hatred that you can never overcome. Perhaps in your next life you'd be more compassionate mate.
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.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.

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.This argument is getting very tiring
"Cops kills black person"
"Black people are systemically oppressed"
Racist person says - "so are white people"
When you compare one race's struggle to those in a privileged position and put them on equal footing - you are being extremely apathetic. The racists biggest fear is the breakdown of the system that benefits them and subjugates others. That's why they try so hard to prove it does not exist.
