Following the repulsive photo of Candance Owens wearing a âWhite Lives Matterâ shirt next to Kanye West, the Republican commentator spoke at Michigan State University for a Turning Point USA college event and brazenly stated that itâs tough to be a white male in America.
Senior Researcher for Media Matters For America, Jason Campbell, posted a video of Owens making her statement.
âWeâve now somehow gotten into the society where people are pretending what weâre doing is equality,â she stated. âItâs not. If we have ever achieved an equality in this country, then you wouldnât blink if anybody says âAsian Lives Matterâ; no one blinks. âBlack Lives Matter,â no one blinks. But, âWhite Lives Matter.â They fell apart. Right?â
This Republican nuisance then dared to say that the most challenging thing in this society is being a straight white man.
âI will stand by this as much as I possibly can, and I will be the loudest voice, the actually worst thing to be in this society â the one thing I would not want to be is a straight white male,â Owens stated. âFor some reason, thatâs considered problematic.â
And her reasoning behind this historically-proven wrong statement is that white men have to pretend to be ânon-whiteâ because those who support or identify with the minorities that have been oppressed by the majority (white people) are apparently against white straight males. She stated how these âoppressedâ white straight males feel the need to lie on their college applications.
âYou have to be something,â She stated. âItâs like, people lie, theyâre lying on college applications. Theyâre like, âOK, Iâm white, but Iâm also trans.â And youâre like, âWhat? Why are you pretending?â Because âI donât want people to think Iâm too normal.ââ
She compared the âoppressed white straight maleâ experience to Black Americansâ experience during slavery and segregation.
âAnd people, you know, theyâre just trying to find something that makes them not white, right? And itâs really staggering to think that once upon a time, that is exactly what the experience was for a Black American,â Owens stated.
The video ended with Owens saying, âBeing a Black American was so problematic that you werenât going to be allowed into the room. Now you have the exact same thing happening in reverse, and you have liberals trying to convince you that thatâs equality,â she said. âItâs not! All lives matter. And thatâs including white lives matter, you know?â
