YES, if my only two choices in a conversation about black experiences were Candace Owens and some white dude who read a few books, I think Candace, a black woman, would have more to say.

I think you need to check your friend and ask them why they jumped to her and not another capable black person already speaking about race in a productive way.

Why would he force me into the dichotomy of choosing between someone who has never had a productive conversation about race and white man?

Honestly all of this conversation sounds like you dancing for white approval. If that& #39;s the life you wanna lead, you are entirely encouraged to doing so. I hope that helps you out in the long run and feeds you. I should get back to work.
