Candace points out that while the left demonizes the right for all sorts of crimes including imperialism, segregation and slavery which it used to impose on black and brown people, the truth is that black and brown people historically committed such crimes and still do today, long after the whiteman outlawed the same. It is a tactic of the left to villify the whiteman and absolve the black and brown men of such crimes.

If you look up each one, it’s not bad arithmetic, there was overlap.
Actually, it’s quite funny. Right after stating her opening thesis that American liberals think the world began in 1776, she proceeds to personify what she is criticizing, citing, as the timeline of the Persian Empire, just that of its last dynasty, which began six years after 1776, which is to say, in the Jacobin manner, the year six or 10, depending on your perspective..
@ Ted Belman:
Different dynasties but there has been a Persian Empire almost continuously for nearly 3,000 years, 600 years since the Arab conquest and Muslim caliphate… See Wikipedia ”
Achaemenid Empire (550–330 BC)
Sasanian Empire (224–651 AD)
Safavid dynasty (1501–1736 AD)
Afsharid dynasty (1736–1796 AD)
Zand dynasty (1751–1794 AD)
Qajar dynasty (1785–1925 AD)
Different dynasties but there has been a Persian Empire almost continuously for almost 3,000 years.. See Wikipedia.
@ Ted Belman:
“The Persian Empire (Persian: ???????? ??????, translit. Šâhanšâhiye Irân, lit. ‘Imperial Iran’) refers to a series of imperial dynasties that were centred in Persia/Iran from the 6th century BC Achaemenid Empire era to the 20th century AD in the Qajar dynasty era.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Empire
@ Sebastien Zorn:
She was talking about the Persian Empire, I believe.
The Ottoman Empire lasted for 200 years? She’s reading from a prepared speech, no? As typos go, that one stands out. Hell of a thing not to notice. Great speech, otherwise. I had to look up Colin Kapaernick. He’s a famous Black football player, a free agent. Made me think of another famous radical, who also started as a college football player: Paul Robeson. Hmmm. Maybe, we should do away with college sports, especially football and plug all that money into classical music. Just a thought. Football makes communists.(joke.)
@ Edgar G.:I hope you are correct. We will see.
@ Bear Klein:
Naturally they’ll try to say it’s Trump’s fault. But his solid performances and massive following will shrug it off, I just can’t see him barely scraping home….
From all appearances it looks as if he’ll have an overwhelming win. Look who he has against him,,,,,, As Engelhart wrote in his usual Arutz 7 article, we should remember just how bad Biden and Sanders really are…
If you saw the “Town Hall Meeting which Ted has above.. (there are 3 not 2), his reception was rapturous, and I think it was in Pennsylvania. Packed …….and applause all the time, answering “off-the-cuff”,,,, Great stuff
@ Ted Belman:
Interesting meeting of the minds I’d say. I’d like to have been sitting in at a policy meeting of theirs….I didn’t know this about them, as I haven’t looked them up, and only first knew about Owens from seeing her on youtube about a year or so ago.
I’m inclined to agree with Sebastien in that the large majority of blacks will stick with the Dems but a significant number will move over. A major move of anything, a dam burst, avalanche or log jam, will always start with a trickle, slowly pick up speed, then a decisive move.. Like the infiltration of peoples.
As a sideroad thought…..archaeologists say that there is definite evidence that Muslims, didn’t capture Jerusalem from the Byzantines, but trickled in slowly from the Eastern Desert. They say that there is no evidence of siege, battles or military capture as is told by historians-perhaps taken from Muslim folklore.
Whichever way, it is an interesting subject.
@ Sebastien Zorn:Good hope enough leave for the swing states that will decide the election to go for Trump (i.e. Florida, PA, WI, MI, NC and AZ). I am particularly worried about PA). Trump can lose PA if wins the rest of these states or perhaps wins a state he did not win last time but that is a big if.
If the Corona Virus keeps hurting the economy the DEMs will try hard to say it is Trumps fault. Only a strong economy makes Trump a slight favorite.
@ Edgar G.:
About two years ago he met with Candace Owens and after a few minutes hired her to work with him. She became the face and voice of this organization. Ultimately she left to go with Prager U.
@ Ted Belman:
I’ve heard of him, hated by the left and “liberal” college professors etc. Another atypical individual.. in his own way, like Candace Owens, doing what his mind pushed him to do.
I think they loathe him nearly as much as Trump…or Rush Limbaugh….
@ Edgar G.:
Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point U.S.A. which 10 years later boosts over 2000 chapters, announced to his parents when he finished high school, that he wanted to start this organization instead of going to college. His parents didn’t resist. They new their child.
This is what the organization espouses.
“TPUSA’s mission is to identify, educate, train and organize students to promote the principles of fiscal responsibility, free markets and limited government.”
Who would have thunk it?
@ Bear Klein:
Most will stay, just as most Latinos and Jews and other minorities will stay. But, a greater number will leave than left before. And, I remember seeing an article or video after the election in 2016, that explained that, whereas the non-minority white vote had stayed the same as in previous elections – the left said it was a white backlash – what had changed was that just enough minority votes had shifted in key states to give Trump a victory.
Great Speech. I hope she ends up correct about Blexit or Blacks leaving the Democratic Plantation.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
Yes, with Biden being led out of the hall by two attendants, protesting that he knows where he is, that this is his daughter’s wedding, and he’s having a great time…..a.
@ Edgar G.:
Yes, she’s clearly a brilliant intellect. Did you hear her Oxford, or was it Cambridge debate? Now, here’s a funny thought. A debate between Candace Owens and Biden? Especially in such a formal, British, academic context. It would truly be the laugh riot of the century, no?
@ Edgar G.:
AMEN TO THAT.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
Her behaviour is typical, because she was bored with the average garbage. A mark of a brilliant and active mind. Normal education does not work for people like this. I know…because I have a few kids, every single one of whom, was reading by age 2. In school they were always reprimanded because, having finished their assignments, or bored, would, get up and walk around looking at what the other kids were doing.
They each tested over 150 IQ. The School Board psychometrist said that in over 20 years experience had never had even one child of anywhere near near that level. (And here she had 3 from one family)..
So I don’t care about Owens’ lack of degreed formal education. She,like so many other brilliant people educated herself. And mapped out a different path.
@ Reader:
Can you imagine any American crowd of listeners today who would not have to have the facts “simplified.”…If you know of any, pass it on to me. Thinking things out is not a strong point with the average American…..Present company excluded…..of course.
Just my opinion judging them by those with whom I grew up and have mixed with…BEFORE I came over to Canada.
@ Reader:
Well, Mitt Romney, Bill Kristol, and Mike Bloomberg went from Democrat to Republican and back to Democrat. She may have less formal education but can she do worse? . Whatever the future may hold, she’s articulate and insightful now..
@ Barry613:
I looked up her background online – she seems like a talented undereducated opportunistic activist on an extreme lucky streak. She speaks wonderfully and sounds very sure of herself but her switch from a liberal to a conservative was too fast and emotional to last, I believe.
A lot of what she says is true but she also oversimplifies hugely. Maybe that’s why she is so popular. She may also be expressing some ideas whose time has come.
Candice has done wonderful work in putting the facts in perspective. I was not aware of these things. Thank you, Candice!
