Candace Owens On Black America, Congressional Puppets, Donald Trump, Kanye West, T.I. + More

wake That Ass Up ear in the morning The Breakfast Club yes morning everybody it's DJ Envy just hilarus Charlamagne the guy we are The Breakfast Club we got a special guest in the building oh they're not going to like this one we have Candace Owens Candace Owens hello what's up how you feeling I feel great a little tired had a wedding this weekend but always feel great back to New York you you originally from here right yeah I was born in New York raised in Stanford and then lived in New York after University for like seven years so I worked just two blocks away from here what part of New York did I live in or was born I was born in White Plains White Plains okay by the Bronx okay what what is the Candace Owens origin story I mean I know I know a little bit of it because you know me and you actually used to have a lot of conversations back in the day before she changed her number um but I mean I did change mind but you know girl he was mad about that was like i' been hitting up up she ain't going she ain't going it kept going blue I was like she just ignore me no I wouldn't have ignored you I would have answered I changed my number I try to do it every couple of years you know okay what for what just because cuz then you have you collect all these people that are texting you're like actually I don't want to talk to this person anymore I don't want to tell them I don't want to talk to them anymore so I just changed my number and I'm sure the the more you grow a lot of your family members hit you up for money and stuff like that yeah yeah I mean it's usually not family members it's just random people from your past that haven't spoken to you in forever but still have your number and we'll text you and ask for a favor like shom no it wasn't him it wasn't about him I actually should have messaged you my new number where where did all of this begin for Candace Owens you know I feel like I have just a very regular story like I said like I was born in New York raised in Stanford there was nothing you know particularly that stood out in my childhood that made me think that I was going to go into politics I feel like I landed into politics kind of accidentally and I say accidentally because it I was I thought I was a liberal my whole life you know I thought I was on a left my whole life and really didn't pay attention to politics in any meaningful way and then you know when Trump was running for office I didn't want him to be elected I was like this not because I thought he was a racist or Texas but just because I thought it was crazy to go from Obama who had a certain decorum about him to suddenly this sort of brash New Yorker but I thought it was weird when all of a sudden the people that liked Trump you know everyone thought he was like this iconic symbol symbol of business he was in rap songs every Trump was the status flipped on him in one second I just didn't I didn't buy the narrative that he was in the media for three four decades and suddenly you wanted me to believe overnight that he was like Adolf Hitler and a racist so I just didn't trust the media's narrative about him and so I decided to actually listen to what he said I still didn't vote for him in 2016 but I wanted to just listen to what he actually said and then when I saw what he was saying versus how it was being reported I just found it to be extremely dishonest so I started researching more learning more and um then I got kind of angry like just with the the lies because I do think black Americans are intentionally manipulated emotionally by the media and you know kind of kept dumb but emotional intentionally by the school system and I started reading up on like Thomas Soul Shelby steel a bunch of black Scholars that I originally had dismissed as Uncle Tom's and you know irony now is I get calls WR with Tom all the time so I got what was coming but yeah and and then I realized that actually I've always been a conservative I just didn't know it and economically speaking of course the conservative arguments make the most sense does that bother you that people call you an Uncle Tom no not at all first off because if they read the book Uncle Tom was the hero but also because I get it you know how can I fult people for something that I would have engaged in for the majority of my life I thought the same thing about black conservatives like I thought it was this betrayal but I never actually understood it it was just an emotional response and I think that kind of is if you come out of the public school system I can't imagine how you could be a black conservative when just the way that they even tell us our our own history is just not true you know do you think that uh that's true with most people though like you know like when you when you think of a a trump or just anybody you're you're fine with them but then you learn like their politics or you learn what they believe spiritually and then you're like uh you're turned off from it yeah and I don't even think it's necessarily the politics I really do think the media plays the biggest part in it because Trump as far as I know Trump's been maybe he used to be a Democrat but he's been a Republican and a conservative for a long time I mean we know he had been a conservative in terms of economics you know he's he's wealthy so you'd be hard pressed to find someone that's wealthy and you know advocating for Marxist beliefs but yeah I just feel like it's it's more about the media wants power the media has a vested interest in things politically and they like to make us think that we're having this open conversation and we're learning the truth about people but these are just Hatchet smear jobs liing people and I think deluding a ton of people to turn against their own best interests so were you more anti-media as opposed to being prot Trump well no I I I actually like once I actually heard what he had to say I was like that's a pretty solid pitch I mean it was his dundale Michigan speech particularly he got up there and he just started listing all of the statistics in Black America in terms of poverty I mean these were just real statistics that he was talking about and his pitch was basically like you've been giving your vote to democrats for 60 years why don't you just try something different you know I think that's a pretty good elevator pitch like hey you've been doing the same thing for a long time I'm not saying I'm amazing but why don't we try something different and see if it gets better for you and then suddenly I like flipped over to CNN and it was Don lemon's like crying you know I think it was maybe being but it was just they were so and they were lying about what he said they're like he looked you in the face and told you you were poor like I'm like that's not what he did at all so I just got interested I'm a very curious interested person if I get interested in something I will just take it all away read books and I'm like why are they doing this like why are why are all the media companies that I believed my whole life just lying about it just say what he actually said and let black Americans deci for themselves if that's a good enough pitch they may have said no I thought it was interesting but the lying is something that I think is is outrageous it's it's got gotten out of control I I think it's worse now um I think it's worse now because not only do you have people who will just create the headlines based off what they feel you said as opposed to what you said you have people that are just straight up manipulate your audio manipulate your video just to push a narrative one of the wildest Things the craziest things that people say about me all the time and it drives me crazy because it's literally made up they're like Candace said racism doesn't exist if you go find that headline of Candace says RAC doesn't exist they didn't put it in uh quotation marks as I never said it they were like Candace said racism doesn't exist because she's quote unquote never been a slave the words never been a slave came out of my mouth but I never said racism doesn't exist and it was in the context of an entire speech the media knew that black people were not going to go watch the speech or try to find the original speech they were just going to read the headline and react and be like oh my God can and said racism doesn't exist like how could she say this she's a hypocrite she's a liar this happened to her in her childhood yeah you sued your high school for racism no that's actually not the that's not what happened I didn't I didn't sue my high school for racism um but for not protecting you during that time I said right they said for not protecting you they said did you with the media does y absolutely no it's fine I mean I get it because it's something that I've talked about at length but you know essentially I had the situation happened to me in high school where of somebody that I was actually best friends with left me horrific voicemails they were racist voicemails there's no other way to slice it they called you a cuz you didn't want to date him no you know he he actually I think he was gay to be honest it was nothing about dating I think this was kind of a circumstance of like I had my first beer I'll be be honest I got a boyfriend and I just stopped hanging out with my friends very typical high school stupid stuff and this gay guy that I was friends with was like outraged by it and one night he was out drinking with kids that were way younger than him that I had never met and they left me horrific voicemails I mean like bringing in like Rosa Parks there was tons of threats they did what park they were just like up about par like it was it was there was no way to slice it but it was they were extremely racist and it was terrifying too cuz I didn't know who the phone calls were coming from long story short one of the kids in the car happened to be the governor of Connecticut's son so it became this sort of overnight political story and while it was going on and there were like news cameras in front of the school I left school and just homeschooled for um I think it was about 68 weeks and basically we got reimbursed for the time that I was homeschooling is what happened but yeah so when people retell that story now it's like she sued her school for racism and the NAACP helped her and I'm like no the NAACP did not help me they used my face in my name to fundraise for the NAACP which is actually the reason why I don't like the N ACP it's like a very valid reason because I was a little girl you know I was 16 17 years old and it was a really hard situation to go through as a a child you know I'm not like I am now 34 years old and and married with that support system it was kind of Fame you don't want you know um but I'm actually very grateful that it happened to me because it allowed me to really consider what the media was even though I was still a liberal I knew what the media was like I knew the media was all about selling a headline I knew then I got an early lesson in the NAACP I think organizations that never want racism to go away because how they're going to fundraise like if you're a CEO of the anable ACP and you're earning x amount of dollars you got to keep the racism narrative going on or you're going to work yourself out of business so the stuff that I talk about is always based on my experiences you know and um yeah so it's just crazy to see how it gets manipulated in the Press now you said something earlier you said that um you wanted to listen to what Trump had to say said in 2016 you still didn't vote for him so looking at the country now right of course there Trump Biden who do you think is better for our community obviously well first and foremost just for everybody you should have a a president that's you know not mentally deteriorating like Biden is I mean he's he's in full mental deterioration it's it's crazy to pretend anything else that's happening right now that's it's scary first and foremost because we have real enemies out there and you have a person that can't lead you know he can't remember what he ate for breakfast he's saying things I the amount of times that he keeps talking about his his dead son as if he's alive it's it's very alarming and I don't say that with ill will in my heart either because he's showing signs of when my grandfather who passed um a couple of years ago started you know his mind are diminishing and you start to see those early signs of dementia the way he walks his gate the way that he's falling that this is crazy everyone should be outraged whether you're on the left or the right but in terms of the better candidate for black Americans I asked people the question how were you living under Trump the person that they told you was going to put us back into chains and we were all going to be slaves again how was the economy under Trump and how are you doing today and every time you ask that question everyone knows that they were living better under Trump because he was deregulating um the the environment and he there were just people were just living better under Trump and he is in my opinion a better president because at least he's he's telling you the truth and he's telling you what he actually thinks you know one of the things that I hated the most about him when he first came down the ESC I was like oh he's way too Brash you know Obama sounds way more polite but I asked the question do you want to be politely lied to or have somebody that's at least telling you what they think about in in no uncertain terms so you know I like Trump for a ton of reasons and for me it was always about the economic arguments and I knew that he was going to be better candidate for black Americans because of that especially you know build the wall sounded so wild right back in 2016 it sounded wild it sounded xenophobic and I was saying if these illegals get into the inner city communities the first people that are going to be harmed are going to be black Americans people people actually were mad at you right when you got into the conversation with ti at the Revolt music conference right and you were saying that and people didn't understand it but it seems like people are are understanding what you were trying to say back then yeah and I am so happy to have those moments because like I I think TI is a trash person you know I'll say that a thousand times over because first and foremost I had spoken to tii prior to that event like tii was the only person on stage that I actually knew um and for the same reasons that I Met You Kanye had put us in touch we had talked and I know that tii thinks more conservatively so he was literally putting on a show and so it just makes me wonder especially with all the stuff that like came out in the Diddy law suit like who's controlling TI because that was wild he was literally putting on a show like he didn't know me on stage like he was surprised I was saying this stuff he was way more levelheaded and rational when we were on the phone and I just I still look back in the moment I'm like what was he doing it was just it was like a circus act up there and he was doing something that I thought was harmful because we were actually having a great discussion and yeah he created a little moment and that was all the media ran with despite the fact we were on that stage for hours they ran with that moment and I was really upset about it but you're right I was talking a lot about illegal immigration and saying something that we need to pay attention to because eventually the black vote's not going to matter something that they were that they work so hard for is not going to matter they get enough illegals in what are we at 10 million under Biden and they're doing it intentionally like it's going to be the same thing that they did to Black Americans in the 60s um what lynen Banes Johnson did when he established welfarism in the Great Society act they want to get these people in offer them handouts and turn them into economic slaves that will continue to vote for Democrats because they're getting free handouts and it's it's incredibly racist first and foremost but because black Americans are still a lot of black Americans I should say are still living under this deception that linnen Banes Johnson was a good president even though he wasn't a vowed racist I mean he hated black people I mean one of the uh so many times I mean hard R referring to us as the nword I'll have those nword voting Democrat for the next 200 years and this man is being healed as a hero because he had to sign the Civil Rights Act essentially with a figurative gun to its head because the country was on fire you know JFK had just died and um there were riots in the streets protesting because of racism and he did not want to sign it but he did and with the other hand he signed the Great Society act and incentivized welfarism and you know programs to incentivize not marrying black men you know to think that we had government agents knocking on the door going into the homes of black women and being like there better not be a man that lives here we're just here to check to make sure if you want this check Dad can't be home every other ill that Black America is facing today is because we've removed fathers from the home so I am like a big you know I use my platform to talk about men a lot and the need for male leadership everything that is so harmful this you know me too false feminism all of this crap it's anti-man and it's anti-man for a reason because a society cannot survive without strong men a household cannot survive without strong men we need strong men to lead homes and so the fracturing of the black family I think was the test like you know like we were the mice in the experiment like let's see how that goes and now they're kind of doing that RIT large and I just I hate feminist so much I can't even tell you because what it's about is it's just an attack on men hold you just said a lot Candace let's let's talk about Solutions you said a lot now now with the uh the politicians right with whether it's Lindon B Johnson Trump Biden I think people are able to ignore a lot of their BS as long as they can get something done yeah that that that's what it seems like so that's why I don't even like to talk about the person I like to talk about the policy so what is the difference between traditional conservatives and Maga well I would say the between traditional conservatives and Maga yeah like before before what what the conservative party was before Maga and what it is now yeah so I think what you're describing is that there was this there was this fracture in the conservative movement uh because people realized that when he was referring to the swamp what he meant was it didn't actually matter if you are on the left or the right they were all working together in DC and selling out all of America I mean there is no reason why you go to DC and become a multi-millionaire you're supposed to be there to serve the American people you're you're there taking our tax dollars so what was happening was these lobbying interests like you know big farmer goes down and they Lobby and they'll offer money to a candidate to go push a drug like the covid vaccine or they'll Lobby for war it's like you know biggest Lobby of course military industrial complex so we're all suffering you're going to work because these lobbyists are getting their incentives done by buying out these politicians and so Trump kind of Hit the scene as somebody who wasn't bought and paid for because he didn't need their money he wasn't like a random Congressman going to DC with no money and he just started talking about the swamp like it's not even Republican or Democrat I want people to wake up to that because I'm not here like ride or die for Republicans they all sell us out like the stuff that they did during Co is Criminal it's just it's criminal and found on that I mean the just the the the free handouts first off trillions of dollars you're you're you're signing these Omnibus bills if you read into it where that where that money is going it's insane it's it's literally going you know to museums Boards of museums they're quite literally moneya laundering is what's happening when they sign these bills but they keep it so so that the information level is so low for Americans that it's like oh CO's so bad like we're going to give you a check that's like you know $300 this basically describes welfarism right like despite the fact that there's been trillions of dollars since um the establishment of welfare black Americans are poorer today than we were before it people don't know this but during the time of Jim Crow before welfare was established in the 1950s black Americans were actually outpacing white Americans in this country in terms of economic growth and the reason for that was because our families were together we had good values the government only wants to give you the bare minimum but where's the rest of the money where is it going they signed these bills making you think that this money is going to you it's not they are stealing from the American people and it's you look at your Congressman whoever it is that you guys sent down you know sent down to DC and you realize that they're all just puppets I feel like we're watching a performance you know and who can say the most outrageous thing you know the Republicans don't want to sign this because they want you know slavery and they want you back in change and the Democrats don't want to sign this because want Grandma to die whatever it is you're watching just to me it's a play that's why I don't think that's why I think if you're black you shouldn't be beholden to any political party Democrat are Republican right I mean I I think that any concept of saying that I am a republican forever a Democrat forever is a nonsense you know you should always look at the candidates that are running and any person that is running saying that they want to grow government is your enemy why do you think people give you a lot of backlash for questioning people and having questions I see all the time with Charlamagne and if we question something that kamla Harris did or question something that Joe Biden did or or question somebody that's Democrat did why do you think uh our people have so much backlash when you ask so many questions well because I think that they don't realize that they've been manipulated against their own interests and a lot of it is you know when you start telling the truth you become a problem to The Establishment right so if you're the military-industrial complex and you want people to just kind of Sleepwalk into another war and I'm sitting here telling you that you know Pentagon just can't keep finding the trillions of dollars that they send overseas they got this budget and they're sending all this money to Ukraine and then they say oh we don't know where all the money went it's being laundered and it's being sent back to a very small group of powerful people and so when you have someone like me who's cutting through all the emotional arguments you have to turn that person into Persona nrata right and what better way to do it than to have their own Community attacking them and saying that they're you know pro-white or anti-black I mean it's a nonsense things that they say about me if you listen to what I'm actually saying I'm sitting here providing a blueprint for black Americans to get ahead because it's time okay time we've been doing this for a very long time in this country Black America wake up okay they don't like you they don't like us okay there's not America yeah like the government the American government why would you think the American government wants to help you what point in history has that proven to be right and I'll challenge that and I'll make it wider to all Americans when has it ever been the circumstance that you felt that the government really just was out for your own best interest interests think of them as a corporation they want to grow themselves they want new departments bigger departments uh larger budgets like any other Corporation would want and they never want to leave DC because that we don't have term limits which we should have right if we had term limits and said you can only serve for four years well then guess what they would be doing for those four years trying to shrink government because they'd have to come back out and and be us right um when you look at the way that your tax dollars are being spent you should be outraged you should be angry but stop thinking that the enemy is you know they constantly have us arguing against each other women versus men black ver is white you know it's a nonsense the reason why they want us constantly Waring is because it distracts from all of us coming together and taking a look at who the real criminals are and the real criminal criminals are this small group this small Cadre of powerful people that I think we're virtually all still on a plantation they just made it look nice you know you got a nice chair we got nice chairs here um but I think we're all still on a on a plantation shut up baby shower um so is this the reason why I haven't really heard you pushing people to vote for any particular candidate just go around yeah well I mean I'm very clear about the fact I I let everything play out but I absolutely love V ramaswami obviously he's not running anymore but his ideas and his laser sharp focus on what the actual issues were I thought he was absolutely brilliant I'm obviously voting for Trump you know we we were all doing better under Trump it's that simple I don't care what else they have to say aibl the smears I get it you do it to me so I I just don't even pay attention I actually find it to be quite boring now you know what what economically what were the reason cuz you know you said that you know you didn't like that Republicans were giving out money during 2012 both yeah both they were just giving out money during Co it was crazy but that's what a lot of people loved they loved the stimulus checks they loved the the PPP So when you say you were doing better under Trump that's what people point to but look at the circumstances it took for that to happen we don't want to have to go through another pandemic no in order to get get that money yeah but but the point is is that that that should provide to you a lesson how the government works because people weren't even thinking ahead you're like yeah getting this free check um so I'm not going to work again incentivizing poor Behavior what ended up happening was a lot of the mom and pop stop mom lot of the mom and pop stores closed right a lot of businesses actually had to fold because they couldn't sustain it under um under the economic environment they just couldn't Thrive people did literally employees did not want to go to work it was crazy and so what ends up happening is the individuals get weaker and the corporations got bigger right only the corporations could have survived in that environment which is what unfortunately ended up happening and then we put our own on the hook to be taxed into Oblivion to to keep paying into this ridiculous thing that we agree agree to pay into it would have been much better for us to instead say I'm happy to work I don't want your small check I want you to stop taking tax dollars from me you know shrink government don't make it bigger that that always has to be the economic narrative how if if you want to make government bigger you are taking from me government does not make money we make money right government can only take money so when you're advocating for more Government Solutions you are literally advocating for the government to come into your check and take more money from you Lord that so but how were people better under Trump though like what what are some things that you can point to well I mean like I said Common Sense everybody was living better on trunk but just in terms of the environment for people that were entrepreneurial definitively one of the first things he did was he started slashing regulations like you know slashing these barriers that prevent people who want to go into business from starting a business because they learned that there's all of these government agencies that are you got to get this into place you got to get this in place you have to get you know this license that's that's government agencies that are actually standing between you and starting a company and so on his very first day he was just like cutting regulations left and right saying throw this one out throw this one out throw this one out which freed up the markets at the end of the day what I am is I'm a free market capitalist free the markets allow people to compete fairly stop allowing the government to stop people or you know de incentivize them from creating uh new jobs I'll give you an example a cousin of mine wanted to start a food truck great awesome would love for you to do that and he looked into like how many certifications and barriers there were before he could actually start the food truck that is the government growing powerful essentially you have to have money or you have to know somebody to to play the game for you to be able to start from nothing and make something of yourself economic Mobility is is really what it's about so I mean that was one of the things I I loved the most about Trump is that he was very sensible he he has a very good business head he understands the business environment and every person should want to you know should be aspiring not to to work for a bunch of people that don't have your best interest but to be I agree with that but so many his businesses have failed yeah but even failing is a part of the Entre things that I've tried to do have failed right and I don't ever let that be a barrier like I think that there's always this psychological mindset of people that are are fearful to fail that's the best way for things to happen because you learn so much in failure and people always want to point to and mock somebody for failing like oh she tried to do this and then she fa well at least she tried right what are you doing and everybody has losses and you learn from them you grow from those losses you know and and that's yeah that's the thing that really bothers me too is like that that psychological conditioning of like well what's the point in trying because you might fail it's like no you should try and you might fail and then you'll learn and the next time you try you might make something of yourself we see that in the Cannabis industry where where it it cost so much to even get in the industry while you see not a lot of of of minorities in the Cannabis industry but I want to talk about the business that that you tried to open that you couldn't get because there was so many regulations against you I thought it was I thought it would been a great business now that's the one where you can actually find out the person trolling you or talking about you online talking fake news and you could actually find who they were what happened no so that was actually this was crazy so I I actually never got to start the business that I wanted to do it was this I was creating this I wanted to create an app called social autopsy and I wanted to create it it was actually really misguided but it was because of what happened to me in high school like I thought that it was really harsh that those kids all some of them were really young ended up getting arrested because you know their names got publicized and you know they got arrested for a hate crime and it ended up ruining a lot of those kids' lives like a lot of them had suicide attempts I heard that one of them ended up changing their names it's just a little too young for us to be smearing and liing people kids are dumb we all got the ability to be able to grow up and be stupid and say dumb stuff without social media which is like I think that was like glory for us cuz I can't imagine if like things that I thought in the Middle School were on Twitter and people could pull it up and be like you're are not allowed to have a life speak for yourself men mature slow faster SL slower than everybody else that's true it took me a while someone's mine still on the internet okay uh yeah but I I think it's unfair and I think that a lot of times we're all talking from this castle of like oh these kids are horrible people because he said whatever when he was 12 or 13 it's like you you don't have to live through what those kids are living through with social media but I wanted to create this app that would help them because rather than them having to get like arrested for saying something like they're could maybe be like a school could you know make it a part of their academic record or something else it was extremely misguided but my heart was in the right place but before I could even launch it I put up a Kickstarter cuz I didn't have money to to fund it um the kickstarter got taken down because they said that this would be doxing and it was actually a really wild situation but um yeah it was just I I was Ki kickstarting a fund for it but I'm glad it didn't take off because now I realize why people think that it would have been really bad for free speech if that had happened uh well they think you know now when you look at this environment and see how people are treated when they say one thing 10 years ago could you imag if there was a whole app that had that it would have been used for evil it really would have been used for evil I want to go back to something you said earlier cuz I know a lot of people hear you say well Candace you're speaking a lot about you know the black family but then you married a white man yeah Dr Umar would have a huge problem with that you familiar with Dr Umar I have heard of him I have not listened to him I'll be honest what is his argument actually if you could just repurpose his argument he feels everything black no it no he he feels black men should be with black women when you're talking about it from an economic standpoint you want to grow the wealth as a black family that and if you marry somebody from another race then you know your wealth will be with that person and he doesn't like that okay I would love to talk to him more about that because I mean it's it's always very interesting to me to hear this Paradox of black people who will make an argument that you know the system is racist and then also make an argument like this which is essentially making an argument for the Supreme Court to revisit Virginia versus love and basically say that black Americans and white Americans shouldn't be marrying I think the greatest thing ever is when people come together on the basis of who they love and get married you know for me personally I never thought of my husband as a race it's it's is very interesting to me that see people go she's she's married to a white man I look at my kids I'm not like oh my kids are mixed I married the person that it made the most sense for me to marry I have a mind that is just you know if you even knew half the things that I'm thinking about the stuff that I'm read reading just go go go go go all the time it's it's difficult for me to find it was difficult for me to find a partner that was a challenge to me you know the challenge that I needed um whether you want to say an academic challenge whatever it is with my same interests it just was uh what you will know a lot of times people think that when people come together it's because of how they look actually I actually read this in a Thomas Soul book or maybe it a Shelby steel book uh people tend to marry their IQ which is interesting you think like if you see two black people together oh it's cuz they are two black people but actually they they are probably better matched based on their IQ um you know I fell in love with my husband just because I think he is one of the most brilliant people ever you know I love him very much the stuff that we talk about I'm like there is no other person that I could have married we have three beautiful children uh who are growing up in an environment that I am just so happy that I was able to you know what every parent wants to give your children better than you had you know and that's all I can say I'm just the luckiest person in the entire world how you going to feel about you not finding him attractive and just liking him for his mind what he he got he got the smear already ready for the journalists that are listening Ken says her husband is not it was a bonus that I also think that he's beautiful and gorgeous and handsome but it really was about his mind you know his ability to just dive into any subject and comprehend it you know in know just any subject I mean whether you're talking about mathematics economics politics he could read a book on chemistry read a book on building houses and he just comprehends the concept very quickly so I know I married the right person and I want every person to never allow like race to be a barrier to you finding love that is so foolish that will stop you and by the way you know there's this there has been so much toxicity in particularly in Black relationships because of the media portraying black men as this or black women as this and I we just have to stop doing that you know yeah have you ever dated a black men before yeah yeah I dated black men which is another thing that I always find really funny because the media tries to p me as someone who only liked white guys actually if you want to be honest I started off on a really strong Asian kick in my life oh my I thought I was going to marry an Asian man I did my first boyfriend was Japanese my second boyfriend was Korean I just really loved Asian men it was weird right yeah in Stanford Connecticut there was an Asian population in St Con well I mean there's Asian population everywhere I know say was there a Higher One in Stanford Connecticut no I think I just pursued Asian I don't know I just liked Asian guys cice Owens fetishizes Asian men oh my gosh stop painting the headline so they can grab it what is wrong with you what do you think is the biggest misconception of Candace I think the thing that I hate the most is the media makes me always makes it seem like I'm so angry all the time which that stereotype is crazy I have such a good sense of humor and I always have so much fun genuinely I'm having so much fun on my show on my podcast I think that the worst stereotype is they have me as somebody that's like angry and hardened because they're always pulling out just one XP of something that I've said and I really I I don't like that because I'm I have just a great sense of humor I laugh even when they get me good like if they do something and they say something that I'm like actually a hate this person but that's kind of funny like I do look like that I laugh you know yeah I saw that when uh when Chappelle yeah said what he said yeah cuz I was just thinking I'm like listen Dave Chappelle I didn't even think he was actually that funny in that skit of all the Chappelle skits that you know exist I didn't think he was that funny I think I think he was really angry throughout that skit but also it's Dave Chappelle you know what I mean it's Dave Chappelle and he knows my name and he knows who I am and I think that you need comedians it's a protected space and even if they're making fun of people as soon as we start killing the Jokers you know we're we're no longer living in a society that we want to be in trust me when the Kings start killing the Jokers it's not it's not good and I love Dave Chappelle I grew up on Dave Chappelle I was genuinely honored that he even knew my name I was just like what you say didn't make you it didn't make you feel no type of way called you the most articulate idiot he's ever seen yeah I mean I didn't like I said I didn't think it was funny I thought it was insulting but I wanted to make a larger statement that we need the comedians you know what I mean and even though I particularly did not find it funny I just thought it was an important to just kind of rise above it you know and yeah it was it offensive yes he definitely intended it for it to be offensive but at the end of the day just I didn't really think it was an opportunity to be like what was I going to say cancel Dave Chappelle you know it's Dave Chappelle yeah now you accused TI of Performing earlier but you know you're you're you you got a platform too MH so do you find yourself performing at time I'm genuine so there's never going to be a person that comes onto my show or a person that I've talked to that is going to be like canis and flipped up you know when the cameras were on and started saying things that she didn't say to me privately that's what I mean about a performance why did you do that you you and I had spoken on the phone multiple times I know what you think I know that you're you you Veer conservative so what was that actually what was that no for me I actually say what I believe you know I actually believe the things that I'm saying and people just find that to be incredulous How could a black person not be a Democrat how could she not honor lynen Bane Johnson's dream to have you know those n-words voting Democrat for the next 200 years because I learned my history prop ly after I left school you know because now I see that the people that I thought were my saviors are actually vowed racists and what they really wanted to do was just to recreate the slave plantation and when I see people like tii it gets me angry it does it people should be angry people should now be questioning full stop especially after the didy lawsuit like what's real and what's not who's being blackmailed you know who maybe you know is being controlled by certain people I don't know these are questions that I think people are ready to start asking but I definitely have a huge question mark on TI laww tce's up with the Diddy lawsuit what do you mean what's up you guys have definitely covered it right absolutely it's crazy absolutely you know it suggests that he was the Jeffrey Epstein of Hollywood that there's a blackmail ring that people are get being given drugs they're doing things while they're drugged and then those people are controlled right because if you're a rapper and your brand is Hardcore and I have a video of you kissing a guy and I'm like I'll release it unless you say or do or take this position that's a blackmail ring right so T I wasn't a NATO no he wasn't I'm just saying that the Diddy lawsuit kind of led me to ask some larger questions about okay because I have been feeling like in my heart that something weirds going on with black media you know I'm like what what is this trash that we're trying to sell as good music this is not this isn't Black Culture I hate that black people even call it Black Culture because that's like no vultures came in and took Black Culture turned it into something else like I said I've said it many times I grew up listening to Lauren Hill stop trying to tell me this is Black Culture like I grew up in my grandfather's house listening to the Temptation stop trying to tell to me if this is Black Culture it's not this is black people AR monolithic I mean you're like even you you you're an example of that no I'm not saying we're a monolith I'm just saying that black people create Magic when they want to okay there's no singer that is better than a black singer if you want to go tip for Tat give me the best you know white singer versus the best black singer like we have unbelievable Talent right so if you're going to tell me that what we are now making mainstream is the filth that I hear today I'm going to start asking questions about who's condoning this who's signing these people but music is an algorithm right and what they really do is they see what music is being uh hit on Shazam and what people are quote unquote liking and that's what they play more it's getting artificial starting to get artificial no and I think that that's why like you know I do love Kanye because I think he was pointing to this stuff really early like when he jumped on stage and grabb a trophy from Taylor Swift people were mad I was mad I remember being like what on Earth was he doing but what was he actually telling you that all of this is It's a performance right like this is not based on Merit anymore and by the way he was factually right the Taylor Swift video was like a girl dancing in a mirror and Beyonce put out single Ladi one of the greatest music videos of all time and they gave it to Taylor Swift there's a narrative there's a person that they're trying to make big whenever they make these decisions also clarified by the Diddy lawsuit because the person alleges I'll say allegedly that you know Diddy told him if he did this or that that he would get producer of the Year well how could did he make that how could did he offer that to somebody full stop you know this means that there's a reason that people are getting awarded and are being platformed and I have seen people that I just do not believe Were Made hot by black people that were suddenly being thrown in our face and being invited everywhere on red carpets and suddenly they're you know next Taylor Swift it's all just feels so artificial it doesn't feel well I'm giving an example you guys talked on stage about ice spice I mean on the show about ice spice you guys played my clip where I was talking about it I don't have anything against ice spice I'm sure she's a very nice girl I really am sure she's young you know that's not a justification what is she 20 how was think she's like 24 25 actually she's not that young like you know like Lauren Hill gave up she was like 18 when she was on um Sister Act but you know the point is is I don't fault her for making that music but I am seeing this artificial promotion of ice spice like all of a sudden of all the people that's who Taylor Swift decid to put on her on the stage and take to you know the Super Bowl I have questions you know I just have questions and I do think that Kanye was trying to say something you know in that moment when he took the trophy from her mhm but you know when you listen to Lauren Hill you know there were other music there that wasn't like Lauren Hill Music there was Little Kim minority Trina I think Lauren a little before the Trina but what I will say it was a a minority of the music and now it's the majority and I would be okay with music like that if the majority of black music was based on what we can actually create in our talent cuz like I said we have a ton of talent um I tend to think that when we get involved in certain things we just do it better I think creatively black people are very gifted and we're somebody is making our gift a curse right it's encouraging it's music that's encouraging black men to commit crimes it's like a hip-hop to prison Pipeline and I just you know I really question it how do you feel when Meek Mill says he listens to you all the time because I just thought about that when you was talking about the music that they make he actually listens to you all the time did you see that tweet I did see that and I reached out to him and we had a a private discussion very quickly but it was so interesting because just based on that tweet the how quickly they tried to make sure that me and Meek Mill wouldn't talk right media instantly this is what canice has said in the past about you know Meek Mill being arrested just again constantly trying to fracture black relationships and that has always been the name of the game from from politics to the media they are interested in the business of of fracturing black relationships if it's a relationship that I think they believe could Advance Black America so I'm just like when is there going to be that moment that Black America is really just going to fully awaken you know and have Our Moment Like have our Enlightenment in this country because we've never been allowed to have it and I think that there are people that genuinely hate black Americans and I think sometimes people pretend to be the friends of black Americans and they're just not they're not our friends you call Fanny Willis a Ghetto Superstar yeah Maya song was great what why is why is Fanny Willis a ghet come on did you watch that freaking ridiculous Quirk did you watch that Quirk it was wild it was just like us just gave me the Maya song like I thought she was fabulous I was like this is so entertaining like I said on my show they should put her on love and& hip-hop I was entertained I was entertained by Fanny Willis but she has no business being a district attorney and maybe we should listen to all the black men in folon County who have been saying you know they all lined up in the streets and were like Trump trump Trump trump and when they interviewed them the black guys were saying because we've been saying forever Fon County that these charges are all trumped up and ridiculous and now for the first time people are going to pay attention to it because it hit the president and they were right obviously I was only watching this court case because it had to do with Trump and it was crazy like somebody that corrupt should never be in a position of power yeah but she is a superstar I wonder if she should step down because it is a distraction you know what I mean like people should be focused on the fact that Donald Trump you know attempted to overturn the results of an election in Georgia like that's what what the trial should be about but as long as Fanny Willis is on the case I think they'll constantly make it about that yeah and and by the way let's just say he's on trial for that so he's uh innocent until proven guilty but you can't even really have the conversation about that because everybody will be still focused on Fanny yeah and and the thing is is now they believe that what she did was just corrupt full stop right that she's not a person that is clean here she's obviously corruptible you she's been having this relationship taking taxpayer dollars you know allegedly taking taxpayer dollars based on the test testimony and using it to fund her and her boyfriend's lifestyle that's they did find out that they said that wasn't true the money part they said it on the sand mhm so that's why they're saying that like this lawsuit will lead to more lawsuits I mean this trial will lead to more trials rather because she said it on the stand I pulled a clip of her saying that she takes out cash and some of the cash is from when she was campaigning I mean she implicated herself in some other severe crimes while she was on the stand and that's why I think it's going to constantly be a discr that's why I think she should just step away from the case all together I agree but they are saying he's not going to so just going to be more of a show now you said you don't perform but you said you would State you would put your entire professional reputation on the line that first lady Bridgette mackan is in fact a man C how I am so happy that you asked me this question because to me this is the wildest thing that I've ever looked into no this is crazy this is absolutely crazy you absolutely must go watch my episodes on this because I'm telling you I'm not the person that back when they were saying Michelle Obama was a dude whatever you know where is Obama from I'm not like I'm not a person that's just going to jump on that and say things that are ridiculous this was so crazy that I figured this was going to be so easy to debunk like I looked into this and I'm like what is this case that's happening in France the French people are all oppressed saying that they're being you know everybody's lying I looked into it blew my mind absolutely blew my mind first off let me ask you a question if I say right now I'm like you were born a man you lived for the first 30 years of your life as a man what is the first thing you would do I would want to fight you what and then after that let's say you're the you're the president of France after that if you say I'm like 100% she lives as a man like she didn't exist until 30 until she was 30 what would you do I'll be upset I mean I I would be angry I would be upset what do you want her to do show you her it's the easiest thing to debunk you just like a classmate a yearbook your birth certificate or yeah not even a birth certificate I mean like just IGN if I'm the president like said president yeah I'm I'm providing some type of credal like 30 years of your life okay 30 years of your life instead I'm what this President did what this President and his wife did was first sent the police to try to intimidate the journalist as they were working on this case they worked on this case for three years these were journalists was some like random Reddit conspiracy theory and that that you know Bridget mcon was a transexual and they sent the police took their phones wanted to know who else was working on the story you don't do that you don't do that it's so easy I would literally just be like here's a photo of every year in my life I would expect classmates to be like I went to school with her high school with her gradua with her here she is nothing just intimidating the journalist journalist drop stories and anyway then the Bridget mccrone sues them for invasion of privacy you guys are doing way too much produce one photo you alleged you had three kids and 30 Years of Living to the contrary tons of photos of Jean Michelle who she alleges is her brother oh okay where's your brother then go for a walk with your brother debunk the rumors just go walk 10 feet with Jean Michelle no because you are Jean Michelle trog no the journalists were absolutely right they did an incredible job of long series fa documents I had to like download it in put English and I was like this is wild I mean they have photos of Jean Michelle trno like twins it's obviously obviously Brit you know who is the brother then exactly now you're asking the right questioning this been going on for years in France I covered this the French people were going crazy were like thank you so much we were being gas lit by the media it would takes 5 Seconds to walk with your brother I would this is what I would do I would walk up with my brother and then I would give a speech press conference I'd be like and this is the danger of conspiracy theories this is my brother it is ridiculous this is being pushed by far right nothing they've just been trying to silence people intimidation and tactics they even tried to sell to the press a fake photo which got debunked it was actually Jean Michelle's daughter um saying that this was Jean Michelle they turned it into black and white and tried to pretend that was you're now sharing fake photos trying to get away with this telling you guys look into the case it is wild m is now Bri mron transitioned at the age of 30 by the way alone that whole story of Emanuel mron was like 30 years older that already we're in we're in pedophile territory so everything about that story has been sick from the beginning well the age in France I I I I I agree with you on that but the age in France I think the legal age is 15 if I'm not mistaken well in different interviews they said 14 he was 13 it's something not right there in that entire situation and yeah I'm telling you look into it it's a wild story now why do you believe that Hollywood was created by the CIA um well before we say Hollywood was created by the CIA I guess I should clarify because you know first off you guys do know the Pentagon has a budget for film like there's a whole department in the that's a fact there you go that's that's all you need to know there's an entire department uh in the Pentagon they get involved with films and they get involved with films for the purpose of propaganda they always have movies I should have said Pentagon instead of CIA tons of them I should show you a list you should pull it up it's wild yeah Pentagon department for Hollywood tons of them have to even Transformers even Transformers like you know because they're concerned about certain narratives they get involved with like World War films like how are we telling a story about history usually it's because we're lying about what we did or trying not to make Americans aware of the crimes against humanity that we commit overseas you know yeah the Pentagon has funded some films Blackhawk Down Red Dawn golden eye the more you know so now you understand your experience in theaters is what your government wants you to think they want you to think that this is how things happen and it's usually not at all how things have actually happened six of the best movies made would help from the Department of Defense this is military I shouldn't have said CIA I should have just said the government um but Top Gun yeah Red Dawn Apollo 13 M it's all about Iron Man Iron Man oh my I didn't know that was on a list now he upet now he upset let me interesting now you about continue what Iron Man no that's her limit right there she was like you know what now it's crazy what is the what is the point of that just control yeah propaganda it's crazy you grow up in school and you think propaganda belongs to the east or something propaganda is the name of the game of our government they again never want you to look into the crimes that they are committing so they constantly trying to sell themselves as the good guys they did the most they rescued and Sav the world they've never done anything bad overseas if you are living and you believe that the American government hasn't committed crimes Against Humanity you just you had to wake up from the propaganda you just got you got to you got to learn Real History not what was taught to you in a textbook that's all just propaganda you know we've done horrific things horrific things you mentioned Kanye put you on the phone with TI and and some other people what's your relationship with Kanye because I know one time y'all were going to do a business with each other and that just fizzled out yeah you know I was under so much pressure it was actually insane to say horrific things about Kanye when all that stuff started going down was it two years ago now and the truth is is my relationship with Kanye began long before I ever even met Kanye I really do credit the creation of like my spirit and my character with listening to his music and Having the courage to step out of the bounds of what people say that you are allowed to be um and like his song power I played that so many times when I got into politics just realizing that I was going to take a lot of bullets people were going to say a lot of things about me but really the power is within me to just not care and that is why I think that a lot of people don't understand like what Kanye means I think to the black community and that's why the media couldn't take him down because the media didn't create Kanye that's the truth they didn't create them um and so I will forever defend what Kanye has meant to so many people who grow up on his music and listen to his music like The just knowing that you can that you have within yourself and you have the power within yourself to be something you know he's obviously still creating music still loved very much do I agree with everything that Kanye does no I don't even think Kanye agrees all the stuff that Kan does he performs a lot yeah he performs a lot he throws you under the bus when he he needs to though yeah it feels like it just feels like he's quick to distance himself from you at certain points you know I think that a lot of the way the like what do you mean by that I guess I think about one moment in particular when uh everybody got mad at him it was I don't know if it was you something you designed it was the blexit shirts or something and you said he designed them and he was like no I didn't yeah so I think that actually time has been good with that situation cuz I couldn't say a lot and people thought that I was like lying like kace lied first off I never said that Kanye designed the t-shirts ever I said that he designed the logo and Kanye did design the logo he had helped us like you know have photos of it like but at that time Kanye was going through a lot personally um and I just didn't think I just decided that I was just going to be the bigger person I could have clarified it in the media but I just allowed everyone to call me a liar because like I said I'm like a fiercely loyal person and because I knew of a lot of stuff that was going on personally with him I just didn't want to add to the Avalanche you know of people criticizing him but again I never had said that Kanye designed the t-shirts but he did help us with the logo and why troll people like when y'all wore the White lives matter shirts no because White lives do matter and the point wasn't to troll people it was actually to make a statement you know and that's that first off Kanye was behind that but he's an artist and there's a point that he's always making it you don't think he did this to troll like it just that seems very beneath him I'm just doing this to troll I don't know Dame Dash is this guy and Dame Dash even said that's what he does he Trolls but you it's obvious he trolls I don't I didn't consider that as trolling I I definitely don't think that he would have put trolling as a part of his fashion show he takes his fashion pretty seriously you know cuz he's the type of person that will say one thing in private and then publicly do a whole about face on it has he done that with you oh yeah really a bunch of times like on what topic I I've never I'm something that he says that he believes I've never seen him flip on a topic like no I've seen him flip quite on on his positions yes absolutely that's interesting absolutely well I can't I can't tell you it didn't happen I mean but um regarding the White lives matter shirts you know BLM I said from the very beginning was going to be bad that's another one that people are suddening like oh canace did say this I'm like yeah I did man because obviously it was going to be another money laundering situation crazy $90 million raised in no time in a couple of months and all that money went to trans organizations wild absolutely crazy establishing the first trans neighborhood in San Francisco crazy but it was obvious it was obvious because wherever there is tons of black emotion there is a money laundering operation that's about to get off the ground and whenever there was like worldwide media support why do black Americans think the media support them as soon as you got tricked by thinking that the media was on your side it was it it should have been a wakeup call it went way too Global way too fast Corporation suddenly yes we believe in this and I knew that the end result was going to be that black American communities were going to be looted and rided to the ground you know and that they were training black Americans psychologically to believe that this was it this was going to be what you know the advancement this is going to be good for your cause get behind this organization that's ultimately going to hurt you and set you back which is what happened businesses moved out of black communities because why would you continue running a business if you're getting robbed and stolen from every five minutes and now those communities are poor and now you have Rashida Talib saying oh Walgreens is racist because they are leaving you know inner city communities what would you like Walgreens to do this is a for-profit business so it incentivize bad behavior in the black community made businesses move out and money laundered to a bunch of lgbtqia a however many letters it's gotten to uh organizations which I also think is not good for the black community have you had any conversations with anybody from berland like have they have a Chanel you on well you know I went to patrice's house oh I remember that yeah yeah I was very pregnant she lied caught her real time lying right was very polite when I when I um rang the doorbell I went to one of her houses she's got a lot of houses thanks BLM um but yeah I had on Hawk Nome who was the New York chairman for BLM had him on my show several times actually had him on three times I believe and debated him and his ideas during that I'm not a person that is scared to debate anybody on any topic because it's what I actually believe I think people that run away from debates are the Liars right like if you're going to sit and talk about somebody and say they think sit down and have a debate about it about a topic BLM I caught all the heat but fortunately that's a hundred million just burned and gone and there to support trans issues if that's what Black America agrees with I agree with that even when it comes to people that you may disagree with like you know people may disagree with Candace St they may disagree with you know Fox News if I'm these elected officials or these people that are being spoken about I'm going to go on y'all platforms and talk to y'all cuz y'all have huge platforms right so why continue to let somebody say some things that you say aren't true or say some things that you disagree with and let those things go on challenge go have the conversation with them right exactly and so I think that's part of it is that we've been so boxed in and you're only hearing liberal ideas and liberal Concepts and by the way I do want to say half the narratives when I say it like I suddenly realized I was always a conservative I think that actually would happen if black Americans actually paid attention to to conservative arguments is I don't take the black community as woke liberal it's just not that I think something like especially on the lgbtq stuff like I don't is really is this what black Americans care about like bathroom signs and wanting kids to pick their gender I would definitely say no no so we're it's just being forced this narrative is being forced and I cannot stand nothing makes me angrier than seeing the intentional feminization of black men drives me insane expound kid Cy wearing a dress like suddenly and there is actually an old interview that I believe Dave Chappelle gave to OA where he talks about that that in Hollywood there's always this like pressure for them for them to try to get black men to wear dresses and he like said no to this and people kept trying to get him to wear a dress they like wouldn't it be so funny in one of your skits if you wore and he was like no what is this like why are you trying to get me to wear a dress that is weird to me um it's super toxic and I for some reason when I see that like the hyper feminization a black men it does something to me spiritually like it makes me want to snap well I guess I'm not saying you're wrong but you know there's plenty of people that be like well why you not with a black man then C this well that that's something do anything I'm I'm of a black man like my granddaddy my dad I'm of a black man it's not going to like why do you feel impacted by it because I am seeing that intentional attack on black men and and they're trying to condition black men to Aspire to that when you put that on a red carpet and like oh look Fame and men wear dresses what is that stop selling that to the black community I don't like that at all um I love the way that you and Ben Shapiro are able to disagree but then I guess still have a business relationship because I saw him recently tell you well this I think this was maybe a few months ago he told you to quit over your uh over your Israel coverage your Palestine Israel coverage yeah what was that about well he told me well the the tweet that he responded to is actually just some biblical passages and he thought that it was me saying that I had to choose money over the I I don't know how we interpret it but it was it was definitely not I just meant it as like you know peace calling for peace because you know there was a video circulating of him calling me a disgrace and a fox professional or whatever it was and I decided to choose peace and then when I chose peace he responded to the piece with not not peace so why wouldn't he just fire you well as I explained on tuer Carlson's show like Ben doesn't have the power to fire me um and it's not even saying that we disagree on Israel and Palestine I think that he's obviously his wife is Israeli um he spends a lot of time in Israel throughout the year I think when you have an emotional attachment to some place that sometimes your your reaction to anything is going to be more extreme to it you know I have some relatives that are from St Thomas if what was happening in that region was happening in St Thomas I would probably be the most fired up out of everybody at the daily wire um and yeah he definitely went through I think an emotional time at the end of last year you know dealing with everything I think I was pretty even Keel I don't want to see innocent Palestinians killed I don't want to see innocent Israelis killed I never want to see children killed I don't believe children should have to grow up in a war zone based on the actions of a few and that I guess last year sounded crazy that sounded crazy because always the demand in all these situations is to make people pick a side and then if you don't pick their side then you get smeared and you get right so if you don't say I want every Palestinian murdered then suddenly you're Pro Hamas if you don't say like I want every Israeli person eradicated you know then suddenly you're Pro apar whatever the arguments are and I think both of that is Extreme you said no government anywhere has a right to commit a genocide ever there is no justification for genocide yeah that that is going to age so well genocide is always wrong it is guys it is it is always wrong um and doesn't matter at any point in human history any person that is advocating for genocide is always in the wrong and when I wrote that tweet I was referring to Brian Mast was a congressman he got up and he literally said in Congress that there's no such thing as an innocent Palestinian and I was like that is genocidal right as soon as you say an entire group of people are all evil you are now laying the groundwork to justify a genocide and that to me was wild so I spoke up against it have you in black ball from Fox News no I just stopped going on fo I used to you know my schedule's very busy but I used to go only once a week on The tuger Carlson show and then tuger left Fox News so I just didn't go on Fox News gotta yeah you you seem to be uh excited that Black America is embracing you as you said I say that why is that I'm just glad that they're hearing me for the first time forget embracing I just wanted them to actually hear me there was just so much so many things said about me that just were not true and no matter what every time an article was written they would just rehash the things that I never said I mean even the Joe Buon interview that was recently dropped and everyone's talking about it go read hot new Hip Hops article on it it's wild it's just not what was said at all in that interview it's just patching together things to make me seem like I'm a monster like Candace blames the education system for like ice spices music that's literally what they said they ran with that and so I'm just excited that we're that they're at least hearing me that's the that's the biggest thing actually being able to decide okay I heard Candice and here's where I think about her rather than I heard what somebody else heard and what they say that I should have heard and here's what I think about her yeah because most of the hate is like Domino like you'll see like over the years I've seen like people in comments it'll be headlines about you and somebody don't like you because somebody else don't like you and then because of what somebody else said and then oh she usually just she ain't never for us or it's always what somebody is waiting to like in the comments charl always say people wait in the comments go on the comments to see how they want see how people comments so they can tell you how to feel you never did research on her you never sat and talk to her obviously you don't watch her show you just grab with the headlines grab and you read the comments and they tell you not to like her right and a part of that by the way has a lot to do with illiteracy which is something that I talk about all the time because the illiteracy rate in inner cities right now is over 70% talking about over 70% of black boys that can't pass a basic reading exam that is crazy that is crazy across the United States entirely 40% we're at 40% so people think that they're going to public schools to get an education it's the exact opposite they are slowly making sure that you're never going to be able to have a proper education and they're going to tell you what to think that's what they want they want the ability of a headline and that's very scary you know I talk about what they did on slave plantations you know why we weren't allowed to learn how to read because they they knew that if they could control the narrative then you could be enslaved forever right your your mind becomes enslaved when you can't read when you say okay I learned that in a textbook but let me read this you know and actually see what I think and I think that's intentional I literally believe that there is an evil intent to reins slave black Americans and the ability for us not to read to me is everybody should be hitting the alarm on that like why aren't black boys learning how to read and yet being encouraged to make music to follow hip hop to do this to do that you know follow Sports you our culture is very much like go into music or going into sports we need black Scholars we need black people that are actually aware of what has actually happened to Black America what the true story is outside of what these textbooks are trying buying to sell I agree it's and that it's very scary to me the literacy rate in Black America I agree with that cuz a lot of times when you know black people see other black people that are successful they're in music and Athletics so that's what people gravitate towards right which guarantees them that's why they turn these people on such Idols it guarantees more black failure right because here's the here's the truth what are what is the actual percentage chance that you have of becoming the next LeBron James 0% let me just tell you 0% that you're going to be the next but every black kid because of the way he's healed as a hero and they this is going to try to be the next LeBron James they're going to think that they have it right so they're going to put their academics second and prioritize you know my baby's going to be the next LeBron okay but he probably isn't going to be what is your chance as a black American of becoming a doctor if you stay in school and pass all the tests 100% need black doctors too what is Candace's definition of black Excellence that's a very good question you know I I think black Excellence would just be Excellence period CU I I always try to say the reason why you we should remove ourselves from saying white Excellence black Excellence is because I've realized that there's been a power in people trying to segregate our minds in that way you know Excellence to me I think is Independence I think it starts with independence of thought right actually challenging yourself and and challenging your beliefs and constantly reexamining them not thinking that you have it figured out but I I think that once we achieve higher education levels and I'm talking about black people in mathematics black literacy rate jumping to what it should be which should be 100% if we're if we're being honest if you're sending somebody through the public education system then we will start to see necessarily black people achieving more in our society so I I just personally think that we should be focusing on the black literacy rates full stop and also creating our own companies you know what I mean um and not being having our voices controlled we have a few questions for you just just a few just to just to where are the questions coming from these are black quiz questions question where where's the black quiz at we have our own questions oh cool came with our own questions where question from like are we on Twitter where we at so where did MLK deliver his famous I Have a Dream speech oh in Washington DC yes ding ding ding ding ding okay and yeah um how many fights did Will Smith get into before his mom got scared oh good question Candace come on she say West Philadelphia born in way on the playground is where I spend
