Candace Owens Dismantles Leftist Historical Narratives and Exposes Modern Race Hustling in America
Candace Owens delivers a powerful speech challenging the left's selective understanding of history, from the Persian Empire to Native American practices. She exposes how figures like Colin Kaepernick ignore the complex reality of slavery and imperialism across all cultures and continents, while profiting from narratives that paint America as uniquely evil. Owens confronts the uncomfortable truths about slavery existing in Africa today, the cannibalistic practices of some indigenous tribes, and the historical reality that white-majority nations led the world in abolishing slavery. She calls out modern race hustlers who exploit black Americans for profit while blinding them to the opportunities available in the freest nation on earth.
Candace Owens opens her speech with a striking observation from her years of engaging with liberals across the country: the left operates as if world history began in 1776. They seem entirely unaware that anything existed outside the United States of America, lacking even the slightest understanding of global history and the human condition before America's founding.
This ignorance became starkly apparent during the left's reaction to the military operation that killed Iranian terrorist Soleimani. Democrats and liberals who had spent years shrieking about sexism, misogyny, and the need for feminism suddenly became passionate defenders of Iran—a country whose constitution literally states that a woman's life is worth half that of a man's, where women face up to 10 years in prison for not wearing a veil. The left predicted World War III and positioned Iran as a victim of American aggression, revealing their selective moral outrage and historical amnesia.
Colin Kaepernick's Ignorant Defense of the Persian Empire
In the midst of the Iran controversy, Colin Kaepernick tweeted: "There is nothing new about American attacks against black and brown people for the expansion of American imperialism. America has always sanctioned and besieged black and brown bodies. American militarism is the weapon wielded by American imperialists to enforce its policing and plundering of the non-whites world."
Owens points out the stunning irony: Iran, the country Kaepernick rushed to defend as victimized "black and brown bodies," was once known as Persia—one of the most powerful imperial dynasties in world history. For 200 years, nearly as long as America has existed, Persia was an empire that imperialized regions from Egypt to India, conquering other "black and brown people." Either Kaepernick doesn't know the definition or history of imperialism, or he's being paid millions to keep black and brown people angry, confused, and uneducated.
The historical reality completely contradicts Kaepernick's narrative of perpetual victimhood. Even the movie 300 depicts black and brown Persian bodies attempting to imperialize white bodies in Greece. But historical accuracy isn't the point for Kaepernick—maintaining a profitable narrative of oppression is.
The Inconvenient Truth About Native American Slavery and Cannibalism
Kaepernick's selective historical outrage extends to Native Americans as well. On Thanksgiving, he tweeted about stolen indigenous land, calling them "my indigenous family." On the Fourth of July, he co-opted a Frederick Douglass quote to suggest black Americans owe this country no celebration. The picture he paints is clear: America is irredeemably racist, its guilt permanently tethered to slavery.
But if slavery is an everlasting sin from white men, why was Kaepernick so clearly able to forgive that sin from American indigenous people? This reveals an inconvenient truth: slavery was not brought to this continent by white Europeans. Slavery existed everywhere in the world, including here, since the dawn of humanity.
Different Native American tribes weren't peacefully coexisting—they were trying to imperialize one another. They enslaved war captives into labor. They sometimes sold their own children. They tortured others as part of religious rites. Depending on the tribe, cannibalism was commonplace.
Before Europeans ever landed in the Americas, Native Americans routinely cannibalized one another. Most notorious were the Aztecs. When Spanish colonists arrived in Mexico City, they were greeted by piles of over 100,000 skulls belonging to humans sacrificed to the gods. In one archaeological dig, researchers found remains of 42 children, all around age five, who were sacrificed to the rain god. On the inauguration of the Aztec temple, between 20,000 and 60,000 human beings were sacrificed in a single day.
The ceremonies were performed in front of large crowds. An adult male victim was held on a stone, his chest slashed open, and the priest would take his still-beating heart and hold it to the sun. The severed head was placed on a rack, and the remaining body was rolled down the temple where it was skinned and dismembered. Body parts were then distributed to spectators to take home to eat.
For decades, colonists' writings about savage Native American cultures were dismissed in the United States. The politically correct argument claimed white European men needed to wrongly portray indigenous people to justify their own genocide. Liberals even claimed Native Americans had lied or been misunderstood in their own sacred texts regarding cannibalistic practices—until science happened.
In 2000, an anthropologist reported definitive evidence for sporadic cannibalism in the American Southwest. Even The New York Times had to acknowledge the truth in an article titled "New Data Suggests Cannibalism by Ancient Indians."
The Purpose of Truth-Telling About All Human History
Owens clarifies that her purpose in sharing these uncomfortable truths is not to issue sweeping condemnation of Native Americans, nor to vindicate the murderous actions of early colonists. Her purpose is simply to tell the truth about the history of all men of days past—a history that is complex, ugly, brutish, immoral, and leaves no man, regardless of skin complexion, guiltless.
But the left wants us to believe otherwise. To them, imperialism, cannibalism, murder, and slavery are forgiven in historical context so long as they were not committed by white men. They forget the murderous Persian Empire, the cannibalism of indigenous tribes, the heinous actions of the imperialistic Egyptian Empire, the Turkish Empire, the Muslim Umayyad and Rashidun Caliphate empires, the Chinese Qing and Ming empires, the Mongol Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Japanese Empire. The overwhelming majority of the world's empires were not run by white men.
They also choose to forget that the first to abolish slavery was Great Britain, followed by French colonies, then the United States. After centuries of slavery practiced globally, three countries of white men led the world in ending it. But leftist indoctrination teaches that slavery only really mattered when white men did it—that white man's history needs to never be forgotten while all other historical sins disappear from view.
Modern Slavery in Africa That Colin Kaepernick Ignores
What about the present day? People like Colin Kaepernick hate America right now, and that hatred is rooted in some intangible concept of the present sin of the country's mere existence. On the Fourth of July, Kaepernick tweeted: "How can we truly celebrate independence on a day that intentionally robbed our ancestors of theirs? To find my independence I went home." He was referring to Africa, explaining he wanted to see what his people saw before they were forcefully taken away.
In lieu of celebrating his independence in America, Kaepernick got on a plane and went to Africa—a continent he found better grounds for celebration. This is interesting because currently in Africa there are close to 700,000 slaves. This will shock the "too woke to see what's in front of them" crowd, but these slaves are not being enslaved by white people—they are being enslaved by other Africans.
Child soldiers, human trafficking, and forced labor all exist within the same sub-Saharan region where the transatlantic slave trade took place. African bodies are being sold today, and they are not being purchased by any country of predominantly white men.
It's a wonder Colin never mentioned that in Ghana, his beloved country of emotional reprieve from American horror, 20,000 children live in slavery to support the fishing industry along Lake Volta. CNN covered the story when a boy was rescued from slavery and explained that while in captivity, he was made to work tirelessly, and if famished children were caught trying to eat the fish, they were beaten so senselessly they wished they had never been born.
Why didn't Kaepernick mention any of this? Why haven't any of the alleged courageous leaders on black issues of oppression mentioned any of this? Because they aren't leaders at all—they're extortionists. Colin extorted black America to earn millions. Colin extorted Native Americans to maintain his image. Colin extorted Ghana for a photo opportunity so he could continue earning those millions.
The Race Hustling Industry
Colin Kaepernick wasn't the first, he isn't the only, and he certainly won't be the last. To Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Ta-Nehisi Coates, to CNN, to The New York Times, to MSNBC and their anchors, to every single race hustler who has extorted black pain to line your own pockets, who have blindfolded the black youth against seeing the opportunities that lay beneath their feet here in America, in the land of the free, in the home of the brave—there will be a Blexit, a black exit.
These race hustlers have seen how a man was made a slave—that sentence is the first half of a Frederick Douglass quote. Owens says it rings true because she has seen how a man was made a slave, how black Americans have been enslaved to the debate of race, how liberals, leftists, and Democrats continue to enchain blacks to this inconsequential debate while robbing them blindly of their family, faith, and futures through abhorrent policies.
But Douglass continues: "You shall see how a slave was made a man."
A Message to the Veterans of Ideological War
To the veterans of this black ideological civil war, those who have survived the constant media onslaught and fight daily to awaken their brothers and sisters; to the patriots who have fought beside them and cheered them on; to Owens' supporters who have seen her journey from just a girl on YouTube with a different idea to a soon-to-be published author of the aptly titled book "Blackout: How Black America Will Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation"—to all in the room, Owens expresses gratitude from the bottom of her heart.
She thanks them for experiencing this journey with her, but most importantly for seeing how this former slave to poisonous liberal ideology was made a woman, was made a patriot, was made an American.
