Candace Owens, a female African American conservative author, show host and commentator, recently told The Daily Wire that the propaganda about George Floyd was such a lie that people took it as fact. Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, was found guilty by a jury, something the mob decided (the verdict).
Chauvin, a white police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, sparked nationwide protests last May 25 when he accidentally killed Floyd, a 46-year-old African-American man, in the course of law enforcement. During the process, the media even touted Floyd as a hero. On April 20 of this year, a jury found Jovin guilty of both general, second and third-degree murder, and three other officers connected to the incident could face trial in the fall.
Owens noted that now more than ever, there is a need for a group of people who have the courage to stand up and tell the truth and point out what is going wrong in this country. She questioned why footage from the cameras worn by police officers is not being released. Some people want to perpetuate this lie around the world and repeat those lies over and over again until the truth comes out.
Standing up to Freud, Owens will face pressure from all sides. But in response she said, “I’m not a coward, I don’t care if Democrats or Republicans, black or white say the verdict is right.” She insisted, “Floyd is not a good person, he and other black people who committed crimes are not our heroes.” She even spoke out about the broken African-American culture in America. Foolishness, self-harm and the “packaging” of ugliness as beauty are the fundamental problems of African Americans.
Owens said she didn’t want to see Floyd die and wanted him to get justice. However, she is upset that Floyd has been made a hero. “Just imagine, people, that pregnant woman who was once threatened by him with a gun is now going to watch him be called a hero.”
Recently, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) gave a speech saying, “Thank you Floyd for sacrificing your life for justice …… citing that his name will always be synonymous with justice.”
In response Owens cited multiple criminal records against Floyd: arrested and jailed for delivery of a controlled substance; arrested for burglary; arrested again for burglary and spent 10 months and 10 days in jail; arrested for failure to identify and served 15 days in jail; arrested for possession of a controlled substance (less than one gram of cocaine); arrested for trespassing; arrested again for delivery of a controlled substance; arrested for 30 months in jail for possession, intent to manufacture or distribution; and for aggravated robbery with a dangerous and deadly weapon.
According to the victim’s statement, Floyd had falsely claimed to be from the water department and, along with five other black men, forced his way into the residence of a pregnant woman. Floyd was holding a handgun against the pregnant woman’s abdomen and forcing her into the living room area. As Floyd searched the room, the woman was held at gunpoint by a second suspect to her head while a toddler was in the room.
Owens noted that Floyd had caused pain to many victims during his lifetime, but now everyone thought he was a wonderful man and that he was used as a synonym for justice. Children run around in T-shirts with his head on them, and there are murals of him in the streets. She questioned, “Since when did it become fashionable to make a criminal a hero?”
In response to Jovian’s sentence, Owens said, “I would have been more satisfied to say that Jovian was guilty of manslaughter.” She also said that while people are shouting “black lives are expensive,” why can’t they also talk about the crime of black people?
Owens also laid out some statistics on black crime. Last year, police officers killed 19 whites and nine African-Americans in law enforcement; African-Americans make up 13 percent of the U.S. population and 50 percent of the nation’s crime rate; and police officers are 18.5 times more likely to die in a confrontation with an African-American suspect than in any other situation. She noted that police officers are instinctively more alert and even more fearful when they encounter African-American suspects.
Owens said, “We are living under mob rule …… The media is celebrating the degradation of black people and celebrating criminals, which only convinces black people that they can riot and loot in the streets, which only makes the black community worse and leads to more black failure.”
Owens wants to wake up more African-Americans to think about themselves and then change, and not be used by “politicians who have no backbone” to make political capital out of events like Floyd. She said that as an American, one should respect police officers for policing and believe that criminals should go to jail. When suspects try to kill someone, they need to take whatever steps are necessary to stop them.
