"Kanye West’s embrace of a black Trump supporter not well-received


Posted: 5:00 a.m. Tuesday, April 24, 2018

Hip-hop artist Kanye West was criticized by the left for his support of Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential race. But anyone who thought that would lead him to walk away from conservative ideas found out recently that he instead may be doubling down.

Less than a week after returning to Twitter, following a nearly year-long break, the rapper who once claimed that then-President George W. Bush did not care for black people because of his much-criticized response to Hurricane Katrina in 2015 appeared to endorse a pro-Trump conservative who regularly criticizes Black Lives Matter.

Candace Owens is a conservative activist turned communications director for Turning Point USA, a nonprofit that has gained prominence for spreading right-leaning values on college campuses and for its proximity to the Trump White House. Owens earlier oversaw the group's "urban engagement."

But for Owens, engaging urban communities has at times meant attempting to dismantle arguments about white privilege put forward by black activists and the Democratic Party.

When Black Lives Matter activists protested a speech she gave Friday at the University of California at Los Angeles, she accused them of embracing victimhood by focusing on slavery and the systemic racism of the past:

"It's embarrassing. You're not living through anything right now. You're overly privileged Americans."

She later tweeted about the protesters: "They're a bunch of whiny toddlers, pretending to be oppressed for attention."

After the National Rifle Association was criticized over how it treats black gun owners compared with white ones, Owens defended the group, which helps sponsor Turning Point events. She said: "The NRA is the oldest civil rights organization in the country. In the 1960s, they helped to train black Americans to use guns to defend themselves against the Ku Klux Klan, a Democrat terrorist group."

Despite most black people viewing the police shootings of black men as racially motivated, Owens disagrees and wrote a column titled "Black men getting shot by police isn't about racism."

And while few other groups disapprove of Trump's job performance more than black Americans, Owens views the president — whom most blacks consider racist, according to polls — quite differently.

"I truly believe that @realDonaldTrump isn't just the leader of the free world, but the savior of it as well," she recently tweeted.

It is not clear what West's intent was in voicing support for her. But Owens responded well to his words, calling them the "affirmation I needed to go forward so just thank you," which was surprising considering that she has previously said that no one cares what celebrities think. ... "

The left needs to keep this genie in the bottle lol.

Kanye is a black mega star that’s off the reservation with millions of young blacks [and young people, generally] taking their social cues from him. Suddenly, it’s ok to be black and question the dogma of black victim hood.

To make matters worse, Kanye made Candace Owens a household name. Now millions of blacks will click on Candace Owens just to hear what she has to say.

And the media can’t do a thing about it. Trump out-did Romney with the black vote last time, he should do even better next time.

Good point!

Celebrity entertainers are , politically, a huge deal to the Leftists. This is a big blow for them.

[Mr.Badguy]

Kanye? You can have him. He hasn't put out a good album in years.

Translation: Black people who have idealogical differences with the loony left must be destroyed and made an example of!!!!

Kayne is the same person who said Bush hates black people. Clearly the man likes the spot light and being controversial. Pretty funny to see Desh say his recent comments were about taxes when they were nothing of the sort.

But it's an insight into her (and fellow liberals) thinking about how they view black people vis a vis politics. Don't you dare leave our "team".

[cawacko]

Kind of stating the obvious here but black folks, just like everyone else, can vote however they want. It's not for me to say one way or the other. I would offer reasons why I think Republican policies would be beneficial as that is what we do in a democracy but ultimately it's up to each person to decide for themselves.

It is pretty amazing to see the heat Candace Owens and Kanye are taking right now.
