5 pages of trumpsters glorifying this woman who shares their opinion but when someone who doesn't share their opinion speaks it's shut up and dribble. Don't tell me it's because one was educated and the other wasn't because when Kanye expressed his opinion they glorified him as well. Typical, we will never get anywhere when people refuse to try to listen and understand another person's different perspective.

People have called Sharpton and Jackson much worse who are you kidding? Are you saying like others insinuated that because he is an athlete that Lebron's opinion shouldn't count?

Democrats, especially black democrats, hate her with a passion because she, as a black woman, can call them out on their racism. I think she's amazing.
Well I think it's partly due to Democrats being on the train of hate. Everything is about hating Trump or retaliating against someone who doesn't meet their perception. Granted I see this now in Republicans too. Let's all hate AOC and pretend Trump's actions are perfect.
It's never about how to make the country better or each of Our Lives better. It's always about the other side and hating.

Parading around that one black person that agrees more with old white men than the bulk of her black brothers & sisters really feels just as desperate as "I have this one gay friend at work and he's really nice". So y'all found a new Herman Cain. Yay. Doesn't make her right or speak for black people.
Denying racism or the danger of the rise of white nationalism does a lot more harm than good in this day and age when we thought we wouldn't be hearing about any or that sort of thing again. And the fact that black on black crime hasn't been completely eradicated is beside the point. It's not like we can only discuss one issue at a time. The empowerment of White Nationalism and the attempts being made to whitewash it are transparent as all getout.
The fact that those who have continued to be subjugated by the old white establishment are getting louder is really scary to a good bunch of Americans. Scary enough to lead to desperate posts like this. But perhaps she'll be the rights new Ben Carson. They certainly love their token black people and shine the spotlight to no end when they find them.
And lastly, you all know well that historically it's always been progressives vs conservatives when it came to civil rights. The Dems used to be the social conservatives at one time. But times are different and attempting to spin the Dems as the KKK-style racists today when those people jumped ship for the Repubs via the southern strategy many decades back is a pathetic & highly partisan lie of omission. Be better.

There's a difference in the jokes made about the dumb things AOC says and the hateful rhetoric directed at Owens for being a black Conservative.
North Carolina admitted that a voter ID law was at least partly enacted in response to African-American voting tendencies that went against conservative interests.
So many more, it is like Owens doesn't know anything about the republican party.
