Fox News Guest Keeps Her Cool as Black Conservative Candace Owens Blames ‘Democrats’ for Destroying the Black Community

Posted byBy Tia Berger | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Conservative Candance Owens appeared on Fox and Friends where she got into a heated debate with DNC Chair candidate Jehmu Greene.

In an attempt to defend the Democratic party, Greene was quickly shutdown by the 28-year-old rightist who blamed the candidate for “decimating” the Black community.

“Jehmu, I find that really disingenuous, for you to stand up there as a black American and defend the Democratic Party when we understand that over the past 10 years, they have completely decimated our communities,” said the Director of Urban Development at Turning Point USA.

Greene interrupted the “Fox and Friends” host in defense of her party saying “that’s ridiculous” but Owens fired right back and stated, “That is not an opinion…that is a matter of fact.”

“Single motherhood is up 71% since the 1960’s… In every major urban area where you guys (Democratic Party) has a stronghold our communities are decimated,” Owens mentioned and claimed that high crime rates in the Black community resulting from Black on Black crime.

Greene chuckled for a quick second in response to Owens saying that, “Donald Trump represents the very first opportunity for Black Americans to jump off this ideological slave ship that is the Democratic Party.”

The square-off between the two Fox guests come to an end, but not before the Republican tells Greene, that she should “be ashamed” of herself for defending her party.

The 28-year-old YouTuber is being named the next “Tomi Lauren” for her political views and labeled as an “Uncle Tom”.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
