Transcript

In 2016, the hashtag Oscars So White represented a boycott of the Academy Awards, because Will Smith didn't win for his portrayal of a doctor in the movie Concussion. The film was about the real-life brain damage that football players endure in the NFL. The year is now 2017. And suddenly, football players are smart enough to talk about politics. My name is Candace Owens, and you are watching my vlog series, The Myth of the Coon.

Fun fact, I was actually a cheerleader in high school and I remember athletes quite vividly. They were tall, attractive, lots of adjectives going through my brain right now, but I'm not seeing intelligent. These were the kids you wanted to date. They didn't have the answers to the test that you wanted to copy. Oops, I'm sorry. Is it offensive to insinuate that athletes might be stupid? I wonder what the word might be to describe what it feels like when you get your leg blown off in Iraq, only to come back and discover that athletes that are millionaires refuse to stand the national anthem.

Offensive, stupid, both. We are talking about a song, a goddamned song. I mean, really, is that what it takes to bring a grown man to his knees these days? It's just that part where she says the rockets, red glare. Get the hell up, you cry baby wimps, making 1000000s of dollars in a country that has afforded you the right to do so. Reminder, you're kneeling in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick. The subpar player who needed a new stream of income when his talent no longer sufficed.

How can we truly celebrate our independence on a day that intentionally robbed our ancestors of theirs, to find my independence. I went home, tweeted Kaepernick from Africa. First off, colonists half white. Secondly, while you were in Africa, did you ask your ancestors why they sold you off to white people in the 1st place, Colin? That's right. Nobody wants to talk about that part. Let's keep pretending that we were all kings and queens in Africa, and not peasants and slaves sold off by our own kind.

Want to draw attention to black issues, Cap? What about you, LeBron? Why don't you all take a knee before all of the caskets and tombstones amounting on the south side of Chicago? I'm sorry, I keep forgetting at the point of these protests has absolutely nothing to do with actually solving black issues. Because then, of course, we'd spend more time discussing blacks literally slaughtering other blacks at a rate faster than it takes most players to run a 10-4.

But let's not make this video just about the ignorance of us black people when it comes to our own history. Let's also underscore the weakness of NFL team owners who are so afraid of political backlash that they're literally going to watch their investments sink. But Candace. Everybody has the right to freedom of speech. You're damn right. Even a McDonald's employee has the right to wear a pita shirt every day to work, urging customers not to eat meat, but the minute that that employee begins affecting the big bottom line, the employer has a right to fire them.

So I say fire them all, because there are 1000000s of inner city kids that would jump at the opportunity to play at that level. They might even sing the national anthem that meant feeding their families for generations to come. Liberals can keep up this illusion that it's the white man or patriotic songs that we should be offended by, but they should know that this narrative will only ring true in the leftist echo chamber.

That means Hollywood might celebrate it, or CNN might retweet it, but the silent majority, the people that actually love this country. We are going to wait to show you how we feel about all of this in the next election cycle. I mean, if being anti-American is the new black. And I recommend that Democrats and the alt left media get a head start on their excuses as to why Trump wins again in 2020. Thank you guys so much for watching my video.
