Candace Owens blasted former President Barack Obama on Sunday, saying that he caused "damage" to race relations in the United States during his two terms in office. Owens, communications director for Turning Point USA, said that conservative African-Americans have long been ignored.

She became involved in a national political conversation after rapper Kanye West voiced his support of her in April, saying, "I love the way Candace Owens thinks." "Its been so black and white, the conversation, and I blame [Barack] Obama," Owens said on "Fox & Friends."

"His eight years in office did a lot of damage in terms of race relations in this country. Hillary [Clinton] didn't help much when she kept calling everybody racist and sexist, so the language has changed and the rhetoric has changed," Owens said.

Owens said Republicans "gave up" on African-Americans and didn't embrace the black community. "When I met with some of them, it was like an uphill battle."

Owens added that she supports a potential White House summit on race relations to which West could be invited. White House adviser and Pastor Dr. Darrell Scott said on Saturday that President Trump is on board to host the rapper if a summit were to take place.

"The African-American community is not against the president," Scott said. "I'm very optimistic about this leading to the healing of this racial divide."

BTW regardless of what you think of her opinions, I love her idea of having a debate between Colin Capernick and Kanye West.

That would be an amazing trainwreck.

It would be helpful if she explained her reasoning behind her statements.

Obama didn't actively or directly hurt race relations, but his spinelessness and passiveness in addressing the new identity politics in the wake of his election did not go unnoticed. If he had stood up to Black Lives Matter, things might have been different.

Wouldn't that same logic also be applied to Trump with his spinelessness and passiveness in addressing the new identity politics in the wake of his election? If he had stood up to the Alt Right and White supremacists, things might have been different?

If they were actually a threat or if anything was actually different, then yes. I don't know why you would even think to bring this up.

If the alt right or white supremacists were actually a threat

*thinks back on the increase in hate crimes, mass shootings by white supremacists*

*also thinks of the like two windows and trash can destroyed after a riot that resulted after a BLM protest*

Yeah, I see what the problem is. You think blm dangerous but not white supremacists. Couldn't possibly guess as to why that is.

If they were actually a threat? How many have BLM killed compared to Alt / White Supremacists in 2017? Does the murder of US citizens suddenly not constitute a threat when conducted by a specific group of people?

How would you define a "threat"?

Race relations got worse because a sizable portion of this country didnt want a black man to lead it. Throw in the rise in black political activism during his presidency and you can see why a lot of this country feels the way she does

Having an election be about a black vs white candidate caused people to take polar sides like they always do with with presidential elections, but this time with race.

It's less Obama himself and more the election.

Thing is, most people and most certainly the media, just laughed and mocked all the racists who hated the Obama presidency simply because he was black. Those people were dismissed and shunned outright. They weren't normalized in the public eye. They didn't have the social influence to set back race relations by decades.

Trump has brought the lowest rates of minority unemployment in history and has black and gay men in his cabinet.
