My reply:

Those aren't harmful or racist ideas.

The pattern I see is that anything you disapprove of is deemed racist.

Hell, I disapprove of Omar, but I don't think she is racist. I really don't.

Just because you disapprove with ideas, doesn't mean those people are racists.

By "those [...] ideas", I want to be clear that we are both talking about private prisons.

Here is some evidence for how private prisons are both harmful and rascist:

https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/03/13/289000532/why-for-profit-prisons-house-more-inmates-of-color
http://www.justicepolicy.org/mobile/news/12006
https://www.historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/davisprison.html

Private prisons aren't merely racist because I disapprove of them - they directly contribute to disproportionate harm to the black community. That's why I call them racist.

Private prisons being neither harmful or racist appears to have been your only criticism of my response, and I believe I have responded sufficiently. Do you have another rebut?

She launched the site, SocialAutopsy.com on Friday. It will allow social media users to take screenshots of posts they find offensive and send them to the site, which then collects them into an easily accessible profile. The website will have a search engine allowing users to type in someone’s name and see if they’ve made offensive comments online.

If people think their mean words might be seen by a potential employer or someone else to whom they want to present their best self, they might be more careful about what they say, Owens said.

“We’re just trying to make people remember that they’re human,” she said.

Owens also called on Gov. Malloy to join her campaign against online bullying. Saturday, a Malloy spokesman issued the following statement:

“Dan Malloy has been a longtime advocate against bullying, and shared his own personal stories of being bullied while growing up with a disability,” said Chris Cooney, a Malloy family friend and spokesperson. “He and his wife Cathy have spent their careers working with victims of crisis and abuse. We respect Ms. Owens' right to tell her story and have her voice heard.”

Though Owens’ new website might make some social media users blanch, it doesn’t technically seem to violate any free speech rules, said Dan Barrett, legal director of the ACLU of Connecticut. “As long as the speech that the site is collecting was intended to be public in the first place, it’s fair game,” Barrett said.

Owens, meanwhile, said her site doesn’t limit freedom of speech — it just lets people know it has consequences.

“What we’re doing is taking that freedom of speech and archiving it,” she said.

How are private prisons racist?  Your links don't answer that question.

Hey XUL, I challenge you to a debate on Candace Owens, in the style of this thread https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/25913141 because I want you to be forced to honestly debate me.

You can choose the moderator, but I have to agree to them.

XUL said:

Conservatism and patriotism are ideas that any color of person can adopt.

That doesn't make them racist.

Her message is clear. Promote Christianity, family values, and the move away from welfare towards independence.

There is nothing racist about it

All those things are common and normal.
