Candace Owens Shoots On George Floyd

[mandrill]

Hm, so your reply is,

Racist
Sexist
Misogynistic

Where I was anticipating something intelligent and enlightening to open my eyes to your point of view all I got was an inappropriate hat trick of mental flatulence.

Are you on life support or something?

WTF

You should have kept letting the Black professor speak on your behalf, LJ. He's better at it than you are.

 

[kherg007]

How about I let the Black professor speak on my behalf.

Re LOL

Increasingly, we are being called upon to comply and subscribe to BLM's problematic view of history, and the department is being presented as unified on the matter. In particular, ethnic minorities are being aggressively marshaled into a single position. Any apparent unity is surely a function of the fact that dissent could almost certainly lead to expulsion or cancellation for those of us in a precarious position, which is no small number.

I personally don't dare speak out against the BLM narrative, and with this barrage of alleged unity being mass-produced by the administration, tenured professoriat, the UC administration, corporate America, and the media, the punishment for dissent is a clear danger at a time of widespread economic vulnerability. I am certain that if my name were attached to this email, I would lose my job and all future jobs, even though I believe in and can justify every word I type.

The vast majority of violence visited on the black community is committed by black people. There are virtually no marches for these invisible victims, no public silences, no heartfelt letters from the UC regents, deans, and departmental heads. The message is clear: Black lives only matter when whites take them. Black violence is expected and insoluble, while white violence requires explanation and demands solution. Please look into your hearts and see how monstrously bigoted this formulation truly is.

No discussion is permitted for nonblack victims of black violence, who proportionally outnumber black victims of nonblack violence. This is especially bitter in the Bay Area, where Asian victimization by black assailants has reached epidemic proportions, to the point that the SF police chief has advised Asians to stop hanging good-luck charms on their doors, as this attracts the attention of (overwhelmingly black) home invaders. Home invaders like George Floyd. For this actual, lived, physically experienced reality of violence in the USA, there are no marches, no tearful emails from departmental heads, no support from McDonald's and Wal-Mart. For the History department, our silence is not a mere abrogation of our duty to shed light on the truth: it is a rejection of it.

The claim that black intraracial violence is the product of redlining, slavery, and other injustices is a largely historical claim. It is for historians, therefore, to explain why Japanese internment or the massacre of European Jewry hasn't led to equivalent rates of dysfunction and low SES performance among Japanese and Jewish Americans respectively. Arab Americans have been viciously demonized since 9/11, as have Chinese Americans more recently. However, both groups outperform white Americans on nearly all SES indices - as do Nigerian Americans, who incidentally have black skin. It is for historians to point out and discuss these anomalies. However, no real discussion is possible in the current climate at our department. The explanation is provided to us, disagreement with it is racist, and the job of historians is to further explore additional ways in which the explanation is additionally correct. This is a mockery of the historical profession.

Most troublingly, our department appears to have been entirely captured by the interests of the Democratic National Convention, and the Democratic Party more broadly. To explain what I mean, consider what happens if you choose to donate to Black Lives Matter, an organization UCB History has explicitly promoted in its recent mailers. All donations to the official BLM website are immediately redirected to ActBlue Charities, an organization primarily concerned with bankrolling election campaigns for Democrat candidates. Donating to BLM today is to indirectly donate to Joe Biden's 2020 campaign. This is grotesque given the fact that the American cities with the worst rates of black-on-black violence and police-on-black violence are overwhelmingly Democrat-run. Minneapolis itself has been entirely in the hands of Democrats for over five decades; the 'systemic racism' there was built by successive Democrat administrations.

The patronizing and condescending attitudes of Democrat leaders towards the black community, exemplified by nearly every Biden statement on the black race, all but guarantee a perpetual state of misery, resentment, poverty, and the attendant grievance politics which are simultaneously annihilating American political discourse and black lives. And yet, donating to BLM is bankrolling the election campaigns of men like Mayor Frey, who saw their cities devolve into violence. This is a grotesque capture of a good-faith movement for necessary police reform, and of our department, by a political party. Even worse, there are virtually no avenues for dissent in academic circles. I refuse to serve the Party, and so should you.

The total alliance of major corporations involved in human exploitation with BLM should be a warning flag to us, and yet this damning evidence goes unnoticed, purposefully ignored, or perversely celebrated. We are the useful idiots of the wealthiest classes, carrying water for Jeff Bezos and other actual, real, modern-day slavers. Starbucks, an organisation using literal black slaves in its coffee plantation suppliers, is in favor of BLM. Sony, an organisation using cobalt mined by yet more literal black slaves, many of whom are children, is in favor of BLM. And so, apparently, are we. The absence of counter-narrative enables this obscenity. Fiat lux, indeed.

There also exists a large constituency of what can only be called 'race hustlers': hucksters of all colors who benefit from stoking the fires of racial conflict to secure administrative jobs, charity management positions, academic jobs and advancement, or personal political entrepreneurship.

Given the direction our history department appears to be taking far from any commitment to truth, we can regard ourselves as a formative training institution for this brand of snake-oil salespeople. Their activities are corrosive, demolishing any hope at harmonious racial coexistence in our nation and colonizing our political and institutional life. Many of their voices are unironically segregationist.

MLK would likely be called an Uncle Tom if he spoke on our campus today. We are training leaders who intend, explicitly, to destroy one of the only truly successful ethnically diverse societies in modern history. As the PRC, an ethnonationalist and aggressively racially chauvinist national polity with null immigration and no concept of jus solis increasingly presents itself as the global political alternative to the US, I ask you: Is this wise? Are we really doing the right thing?

As a final point, our university and department has made multiple statements celebrating and eulogizing George Floyd. Floyd was a multiple felon who once held a pregnant black woman at gunpoint. He broke into her home with a gang of men and pointed a gun at her pregnant stomach. He terrorized the women in his community. He sired and abandoned multiple children, playing no part in their support or upbringing, failing one of the most basic tests of decency for a human being. He was a drug-addict and sometime drug-dealer, a swindler who preyed upon his honest and hard-working neighbors.

And yet, the regents of UC and the historians of the UCB History department are celebrating this violent criminal, elevating his name to virtual sainthood. A man who hurt women. A man who hurt black women. With the full collaboration of the UCB history department, corporate America, most mainstream media outlets, and some of the wealthiest and most privileged opinion-shaping elites of the USA, he has become a culture hero, buried in a golden casket, his (recognized) family showered with gifts and praise. Americans are being socially pressured into kneeling for this violent, abusive misogynist. A generation of black men are being coerced into identifying with George Floyd, the absolute worst specimen of our race and species.

I'm ashamed of my department. I would say that I'm ashamed of both of you, but perhaps you agree with me, and are simply afraid, as I am, of the backlash of speaking the truth. It's hard to know what kneeling means, when you have to kneel to keep your job.

It shouldn't affect the strength of my argument above, but for the record, I write as a person of color. My family have been personally victimized by men like Floyd. We are aware of the condescending depredations of the Democrat party against our race. The humiliating assumption that we are too stupid to do STEM, that we need special help and lower requirements to get ahead in life, is richly familiar to us. I sometimes wonder if it wouldn't be easier to deal with open fascists, who at least would be straightforward in calling me a subhuman, and who are unlikely to share my race.

The ever-present soft bigotry of low expectations and the permanent claim that the solutions to the plight of my people rest exclusively on the goodwill of whites rather than on our own hard work is psychologically devastating. No other group in America is systematically demoralized in this way by its alleged allies. A whole generation of black children are being taught that only by begging and weeping and screaming will they get handouts from guilt-ridden whites.

No message will more surely devastate their futures, especially if whites run out of guilt, or indeed if America runs out of whites. If this had been done to Japanese Americans, or Jewish Americans, or Chinese Americans, then Chinatown and Japantown would surely be no different to the roughest parts of Baltimore and East St. Louis today. The History department of UCB is now an integral institutional promulgator of a destructive and denigrating fallacy about the black race.

I hope you appreciate the frustration behind this message. I do not support BLM. I do not support the Democrat grievance agenda and the Party's uncontested capture of our department. I do not support the Party co-opting my race, as Biden recently did in his disturbing interview, claiming that voting Democrat and being black are isomorphic. I condemn the manner of George Floyd's death and join you in calling for greater police accountability and police reform. However, I will not pretend that George Floyd was anything other than a violent misogynist, a brutal man who met a predictably brutal end.

I also want to protect the practice of history. Cleo is no grovelling handmaiden to politicians and corporations. Like us, she is free.

This has got nothing to do with my point. It's interesting, but doesn't address the point that there is a lot more money in right wing punditry than in left wing punditry.

And I would gather there are black professors who disagree. That's fine. Nobody said that black folks in any country were a monolith cuz they aren't; trust me I know this better than most lol.

 

[bver_hunter]

So I'm curious why they just chose that age group. It's probably because it best fits The Guardian's left wing narrative. But anyways of the 1134 killed here is some interesting points.

''One in five fired shots of their own at officers before being killed. Another 157 were said to have pointed or levelled a gun or non-lethal gun at officers. Police alleged that 158 people killed had “charged”, advanced at or fought with officers. And while 79 people were killed after allegedly “reaching for their waistband” or grabbing for a weapon, 44 attacked officers, some with knives and blades.''

Yes, in the light of the recent occurrence like Floyd and Arbery cases, there is a lot of stuff in those reports that may be questionable. If there was no live video released on the Arbery killings, that would have been just another bygone statistics that he resisted the citizen arrest and even threatened the life of McMichael's son and that is why he was killed in self defence. That exacerbated the findings of the Floyd case and we know now that if it was not filmed the outcome would have been something like he resisted the arrest and succumbed to some medical condition. That is why those police statistics are now being treated very skeptically!!

 

[basketcase]

he was a good man, he din du nuffin

Regardless of whether he was a good man or not, dying because he was accused of using a counterfeit 20 is a bit of a problem.

 

[Valcazar]

Well, as Dave Chappelle says, he didnt choose to be a hero.

Specifically Chappelle's response to Candace Owens was: "Why do we chose him as a hero? We didn't! You did! They killed him and that wasn't right so he's the guy. We're not desperate for heroes in the black community. Any n***** that survives this nightmare is my goddam hero."

It's a strong piece.

The fucker should have still been jail and then he wouldn't have had the opportunity go out and yet again commit more crimes.


If black people wanted to take a stand and really support BLM and anit-racism, they should have protested and rioted over the Charleston church shooting. That was sad, tragic and it was good people that lost their lives or injured. I understand it wasn't a "white cop" so it's not "systemic racism", but I were good decent black person, that would piss me are far worse then the a POS like Floyd dying.

 

[basketcase]

So you are saying because the legal system let him out, it's okay for the cop to kill him?

If black people wanted to take a stand

In case you missed it, it's much of America taking a stand.

 

[Smallcock]

Two scumbags. George Floyd and Derrick Chauvin. Life finally caught up with both of them.

 

[black booty lover]

So you are saying because the legal system let him out, it's okay for the cop to kill him?

.

No. Can't you read? Just what I said, if he had of been given a proper sentence he wouldn't have been in the position to commit another crime, but since his sentence was a joke, he died and I don't give a shit because he wasn't a good person.

 

[black booty lover]

In case you missed it, it's much of America taking a stand.

Fine, if AMERICA wanted to take a stand against racism, they should have done it when a bunch of good upstanding black people were massacred while attending their church by a piece of shit that admitted he did it because they were black.

Happy??

They should have done it when the South lost the Civil War. Better late than never.

They would have been slaughtered.

Rumour has it Derek Chauwin is a Democrat.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1273103125390508032

Recent behaviour by Democrat supporters especially on here clearly paints a clear picture where Democrats stand, and how much they are undermining the very fabric of democracy, especially how they try to project all their failures against the Republicans

They say they value choice but if you choose Trump they post hate speech against you, encourage violence and cheer when MAGA supporters get attacked and do not value someone choice to politics. This is clearly written in our Canadian Charter of Rights, the Constitution if you are American and the Human Rights to politics and religion. Listen to this, they even actually think you are a bad person. Would they say this against religion even though our charter of rights does not distinguish the importance between the two or the human rights on politics and religion.

Then they say ohh you support trump so you must be bad because trump is bad. However they ignore the fundamental rights to politics which is the same like religion. Is it okay to assume because someone is Islam they support all the evils Muhammad has done, or the terrorist, or any number of other things you can name or any other religion and they are bad because your bullshit paradigm lock thinks this? But these democrats feel in their head it’s okay to judge others because someone holds a different opinion then them and promote hate and violence against them. Can you say classic definition of a bigot.

what happened to choice and human rights. We may not agree with choices, but we support them, we respect people for their choice as outlined in the rights of your country and/or world holds such as human rights. It’s ironic that Democrats keep undermining the core fabric of democracy, at least the ones represented by popular media and the loud vocal ones on terb. Then they say ohh trump is bad, evil, rapist, etc. They think they are above democracy, above the charter, above the constitution and human rights because they think your are a bad person because you support a perceived bad person.

bitch please it’s not our role to judge who is bad and who is not. If a religion is official you need to respect people choice who decide to follow it. It a politician is official you need to support peoples political rights within the system. Doesn’t matter if you think they are bad or not. If abortion is legal in your province, or state or country it doesn’t matter if you think they are bad or not, you need to support a person choice within the system.

I was thinking people are just trolling on here but am actually starting to believe they can’t see their hypocrisy and bigotry and keep projecting this on others. See political section and that bullshit mob mentality and bullshit threads like can a trump supporter be a good person and many many others where they cheer when a MAGA supporter gets attacked or assaulted. Those guys are not trolling they actually believe in their hypocritical minds that this is somehow legit and supports the left.

bitch please at my core I am left and you guys are the true underminers to the left. If I was in the states I would go out of my way to vote for trump so your corruption does not spread and keep fucking up the country at the cost of the innocent and democracy

Don’t you see you are undermining your own paradigm here.

you guys are making this way easy for Trump to win here. What do you think you are going to bully people from voting for trump like a mob mentality and think this will not do permanent damage to your bullshit hypocritical ideology.

the silent majority just keeps growing and many democratic supporters keep jumping your sinking titanic ship of corruption.

It's irrelevant in the context of how and why he died.
