Yikes! Candace Owens is being dragged back down to Earth by a former high school classmate reminding her of the time when she had the NAACP defending her after being sent death threats, “because she was Black.”
Candace Owens’ High School Classmate Reminds Her Of When The NAACP Defended Her After White Students Sent Her Death Threats, ‘Because She Was Black’
After a week of setting the internet on fire with her Kanye West approved “White Lives Matter” shirt (in addition to some other viral rants), a former high school classmate of Owens is calling her out!
The woman is blasting Owens for turning her back on her community after once being a victim of a hate crime, and needing the help of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People).
The classmate, identified on TikTok as “Peytunia,” responded to a viral video of Owens claiming she “doesn’t want to be a part of this culture.”
The woman said, “Hey Candace, you remember high school? I remember high school. It was like 15 years ago. 2007. I remember some very horrible things happened to you in 2007. And some very racist white children called you, including the Mayor’s son, said some very racist things to you and threatened your life.”
The classmate continued, “That should’ve never happened to you. That was terrible. I remember you sued the school board for that. Everybody was talking about it. My grandma was calling up your grandma. It was a huge deal. ‘Cause the Mayor’s son was involved. And you had the NAACP backing you up when that happened, and they got you your settlement.”
Previously, Owens said that when she was 17 years old, white students, which she claims included former Stamford, Connecticut Mayor Dannel Malloy‘s son, told her “they were going to kill [her] ‘just because’ [she] was Black.”
In an open letter shared back in 2016 with the Stamford Advocate, Owens said, “They warned me that if they found me at home, they were going to unload a bullet into the back of my head. They cited other ‘niggers’ who had died before me, like Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks. They threatened to ‘tar and feather’ my family.”
Owens said she remembers “feeling shocked and scared because I could think of not a single person, much less a group of them, who wanted to watch me die. I was reluctant to report it, but the next day a teacher insisted I tell the school principal. And then nothing was ever the same.”
Owens’ ultimately gained the support of the Connecticut NAACP — then led by President Scot X. Esdaile — and with the association’s help, she and her father filed a lawsuit against the Stamford Public School system. Owens ended up winning $37,500 in 2008 after settling her lawsuit.
