  2. I'm appreciating Candace's content more and more for exploring the topics media and journalists are afraid to cover. But this (35:23) is the reason Candace will be at odds with the majority of black folks... I just find it odd that most times she talks about black folks, she tends to fall into using the same tropes as jokes that she's purporting to be against. It's odd that Kentanji is "ghetto" according to Candace, this lady is also "ghetto" according to Candace, and sooooo many others now that I think about it because I've enjoyed her show for awhile. The only reason I'm bringing this up is that Candace often makes it seem like "she's not accepted" by Black America. Really, I think the issue is that she tends to use the same old tropes that people are trying to move beyond. If I was whyte and (1)called all the other whyte people I did commentary on red necks all the time; and (2) only belittled them in front of 80% a Black audience...I'm sure it would get annoying and ppl would probably tune me out.... Because, trust, it's not about getting feelings hurt -- I truly don't think the people who even dislike Candace really feel hurt by her single point of view or observations -- but I think she rubs black folks who might agree with her the wrong way because of her preference to make unnecessary jabs that don't have anything to do with the argument. In this case, this woman wasn't even being ghetto so it came off slightly cringe. It's like, are all the black people she knows all the same type that snap their fingers and necks like Candace does when she's making jokes at her community's expense?? You just lose people on the way to the truth if you don't know how to relate to people well. And for some reason, it's clear Candace finds it hard to connect with people that look like her for some reason...maybe this is the reaosn. Obviously don't know Candice personally, but it seems like the black community will always be the thorn and her side that she pretends doesn't hurt. When you relate to your own community like that (whether you are black, Jewish, from backwash virginia, or wherever), of course people will not care to listen to you. That old adage of "people don't care what you know, until they know that that you care" is very very true! I've seen a lot of growth in Candace over the last two years alone, I'm hoping that in the oncoming years, she figures out how to be a voice in the black community because she, like others who are conservative and black, are important as we tackle some of our unique challenges just like every other group. (In any case, I'm definitely oraying for you, Candace! The good thing is that the Lord doesn't leave us hanging and uses all of our experiences and mistakes for his glory. Keep sticking with Him and he'll show you how to move!)
