Candace Owens Claims Affirmative Action Policies Are ‘Harmful’ To The People They ‘Purport’ To Help

Political commentator and activist Candace Owens says America needs to re-examine affirmative action policies because she believes they do more harm than good. "The policies are harmful also to the people they purport to help, and we have all of the evidence there to look at," Owens claims on Wednesday’s episode of Dr. Phil, "Discrimination: A Two-Way Street?" "These policies have never helped Black Americans; it’s, just, basically, policies that are put in place to make people feel good." Professor and Chief Academic Officer for the University of Southern California Race and Equity Center Dr. John Pascarella and Dr. J. Luke Wood, Distinguished Professor of Education at San Diego State University, disagree with Owens. Hear their exchange in the video above. On Wednesday, Dr. Phil delves into the topic of discrimination with Owens, Dr. Pascarella, Dr. Wood, conservative author and TV host Danielle D’Souza Gill, PragerU podcast host Amala Ekpunobi, and comedian Tyler Fischer.
