Who’s Mentoring Our Next Generation? Candace Owens Sparks Debate

[@leighbotts9694]

What was Candace wrong about?

[@sher9084]

Frankly, the panthers learned it from black culture. If no one on the block gave you anything else, they gave you food; shared their meal. That;s how it was done in the South and we carried that same etiquette North. Especially when it came to children-- no one was going to let a child go hungry. My grandparents were from the South and anyone who came over was welcomed to share whatever had been prepared for that day,

[@rashaanrobertson2509]

It was because the panthers were Marxist and Leninist. The breakfast programs were only supposed to be temporary pending revolution until the people rose up and overthrew this capitalist system and replaced it with socialism which obviously never happened.

I think the problem is that we let the entertainment industry, which we don't control, define Black culture. Look at how the music industry promoted music that glorified dealing and k*lling and denigration over conscious hip hop in the 80's and 90's. Black culture is so much more than the music and images we see on tv, which are largely controlled by non-black people. Our history and culture don't get talked about enough in away that inspires pride, which is a shame because there is so much to be proud of, but we don't know it. There's too much focus on the negative. We don't talk about what Fred Hampton was able to accomplish at a young age. We don't celebrate what Black culture has created in terms of science, music, language, fashion, art, literature, and philosophy and the analogous movements Black Americans inspired in other countries. We don't teach it, so the masses don't know and that leads to denigrating images in the media defining Black culture.

I feel there has been an imbalance in Black representation in media for a long time, but I don't think it's our down fall. I think we need to keep building and promoting how we want to represent ourselves instead of allowing everyone else to dictate that for us.

I don't agree with the statement of ELDERS sold out, it seems as though it's the young people who sold out, and it's mostly due to social media and algorithms, they are also disrespectful to the Elders and blame BOOMERS for their economic demise. The Elders are still out here for the struggle, we have lived long enough to not have anything to lose.

I concur Miss Hunter, many of our elders have sold out for the coin. I wonder if that's why some become acquiescent to the system and not speak out on things as they once did before they obtained the 'bag'.

[@genefreeman9591]

I hate the fact that growing up I would be subjected to ridiculed for being black because of other peoples art living in the suburbs growing up as a kid. Because they never saw black person all they could go by what they saw on TV or the music that was being made. And to break those stereotypes was a lot of work and a lot of battles that weren’t always won.

[@vincentwelch8577]

My favorite part of this conversation is when we got to the representation part like how 1 negative is looked upon all of us while when a White person goes and shoots up something its just Him its justva isolated incident if a Black man or Sista does something it becomes a reflection on all of us. I hate that so much. And lastly its just as much positive hip hop as it is negative but the only music they promote is the negative case in point Killer Mike just won 3 Grammys and hes talking activism and more positive and hear none of his music on the radio but Sexxy Red is played all the time. Its not a coincidence

Love you, Karen, but I’m sorry…this is clickbait. Validating Candace’s bad faith argument under the guise of said validating her question as legitimate, exacerbates real dialogue and those who are truly out there mentoring. Believe me, I bet you a pint of my pet cow’s milk that she didn’t ask that question in front of Black people. That in itself is a nonstarter.

[@iamlamontpete]

Karen.....Candace Owens has done nothing but generated significant controversy within the Black community. She doesnt deserve to be compared to our black leaders and to use her in your top line distracts from the main topic and feels like click bait. Owens engaged in inflammatory and divisive rhetoric, including making controversial statements about Black activists and movements such as Black Lives Matter. She is prioritizing personal gain and fame over the well-being of the Black community, suggesting that her commentary serves to reinforce negative stereotypes and undermine efforts toward progress and unity. So how can you give her any type of acknowledgment? #dobetter

I said the BLACK PANTHER breakfast program is why we have school lunch programs today.

[@rashaanrobertson2509]

I tell people all the time who have problems with my politics that they wouldn’t even rock with the panthers if they were around today because that’s where my politics come from. People love to cherry pick and only talk about the breakfast programs but skip their ideology. They just breeze over the part of teaching the fundamentals of socialism and raising the contradictions of capitalism. The panthers were socialist and hated capitalist. These people claiming the panthers today would have never listened to Fred Hampton. Imagine telling these black bourgeoisie that “were not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism” like Fred Hampton said. They would’ve never listened to George Jackson and probably never even read blood in my eye. The panthers were in solidarity with Palestine and were anti Zionist but we got black people talking about Israels our ally at best they might straddle the fence. We do have young people out here saying the same things as the panthers but most aren’t listening because they worship at the cult of capitalism. That’s why most people listen to a Roland Martin rather than a dr Jared Ball. Right now we got panthers locked up and dying and I never hear none of these supposedly pro black channels mention our political prisoners other than dr ball and I give marc lamont hill credit for working with Mumia. Rip ruchelle McGee, mutulu shakur and free Mumia, h rap brown, peltier, and all the other freedom fighters/political prisoners who fought for against this capitalist, imperial empire. It hurts that most black people don’t know these people and only bring up these revolutionary organizations when convenient without understanding the politics and ideology.

I'm listening to the conversations and reading some comments and my interpretation is this: We need a balance of Satan and his workings on one hand and a dose of God's Goodness on the other to balance things out? What??? What on earth? One thing we should know by now is that the lust of the flesh and lust of the eyes and our pride draws us to the left side and down as opposed to reaching for the higher heights in this life, which is what we should always be aiming for. It sounds like many of us have lost our way, the way to our Resting Place.👁👁💯✊🏾💪🏾🧓🏾❤✌🏾
