Black victimization only way to think?
So the war against free speech has come to Chattanooga.
An article in Sunday’s Times Free Press decried the scheduled appearance of conservative commentator and activist Candace Owens at a local venue, including quotes equating her rhetoric to “hate speech from white supremacists.”
A photo of Owens was included, but the article failed to identify her as an African American who understands the “Black experience” firsthand and is therefore well-qualified to speak on it.
I have heard Owens speak via a variety of media, and what she has to say is echoed by leading Black figures such as actors Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, athletes Herschel Walker and Charles Barkley, and many others. Her words are no more “controversial” than those of present and past Black TFP columnists Larry Elder, Thomas Sowell, Star Parker and Walter Williams.
