@PatDM'T you said "
"I have been
so confused about
why folks seem
to ignore the
plight of civilians
in Gaza all in
support of Israel.
I don't know
enough to defend
either side but
I cannot help
but hurt for
victims of a war
they have nothing
to do with."
She she spoke about this too, and each time he'd default back to the events of Oct 7. But wouldn't address the continued suffering.
(As a 2x War Vet, I was Very Proud of the Truths she told on this matter)
He has a "bbbbut WE are Special" mantra playing in his head, and is married to an ""Attacking" Argumentive" Style.
I didn't watch the video through in 1 seating. For various reasons I had to pause and walk away; if you can do it good for you.Gurrrrl...I have not
spent a lot
of time in many
of the threads
about any wars
because I find
my head spinning
as I read some
of the biased
opinions with no
objectivity or moderation.
It's like folks
are so brainwashed
and programmed
to indiscriminately
take up a side
and defend it
at all costs.
I have a long
way to go
to finish the
video, but by
2/7th point of
the clip, I have
nothing but major
respect for Candace.
I never thought
I would ever
say anything positive
about this woman.
But maybe I was
the one being
cultish in my
opinion of her just
because one or
two things she
said before, rubbed
me the wrong way.
But I still
have more
to listen to
and one video
does not a
saint make, but
it does remind
me not to
judge a book
by its cover.
I am so glad
I started this video.
Oooh...Sistah! WhatI didn't watch the video through in 1 seating. For various reasons I had to pause and walk away; if you can do it good for you.
Sometimes people are do committed to their beliefs, that they don't leave room for personal growth. I'm proud to say that in this case on Candice I experienced "personal growth". My girl stands 10-Toes-Down on her "rights"; and provides receipts to validate her claims and facts. HE on the other had, provides what I'd call a series of Concentric Circular Arguments that all conclude that she's wrong, and is victimizing his community.
OH, and when you get to the part where he's telling her the exact WORDS she should use to acknowledge her [wrongness] then on the flip side saying "I don't recognize/acknowledge" that word so I can't respond; WAS FOR ME MADDENING; I wanted to bust him upside the head via my TV screen and coffee mug.
@PatDM'T I am glad you took a chance and decided to watch the video. I totally respect your position on Candace - she is deserving of the criticism that she is getting from the black community for her past stance.
But in this scenario I would stand with her. This is what I was referring to, in the Israel-Palestine that we all need to be very careful as people of African descent to take absolutist stance for or against any group of people. None of these people respect us and think we are entitled to our own opinion and positions. Rabbi Barclay wanted to shame her into submission because he figured since she on is on a platform cofounded by a Jewish Zionist that she will bend over and concede. Given that these shaming tactics have been used in other black entertainers before.
This is why no group no matter their history should be incapable of being criticized when it is deserved. It is very clear that some members of the Jewish community have let their outsized influence on media/entertainment go to their heads and think they are above reproach and a cut above everyone else. The fact that this man is a religious leader should make us all pause.
This man has largely insinuated that a Jewish life has more value than any other, and that their pain is more important than any other. And I do not doubt that there are many in Jewish circles who think just like him. This is why this Israel-Palestine conflict is something that all of us should pay attention to, because this has far reaching repercussions.
Over the years, people have honed in solely on Muslim/Arab extremism and have let the Jewish extremists slide for far too long and it needs to stop.
Never said she should but I think the exchange is a very important watch.Nah she can’t sit with us..
I understand. He represents how a lot of certain groups and individuals feel. But standing with her is not something I would align myself with. She has a different agenda and she is anti-black. She is no different than him and she is a grifter. All I see is racists and bigots talking about who is a bigger racist and bigot..Never said she should but I think the exchange is a very important watch.
BC: me! I wanna be a fly on the wall during this discussion!@Plushottie we need to have a discussion off record! lol I think it would be fascinating! lol
I listened to it while running errands and in traffic. With that said, Yes and No 'cause I was distracted. I'm not at all surprised she has been somehow or another "de-platformed". (From my 3min research, I cant tell whether she resigned or was terminated)
