In denial about racist attack while black

I have a very hard time understanding why she would be in denial about this, but it seems very obvious that she is. |

Meh, memory sucks and its easily manipulated by our own desires. She doesn't want to remember it, so she doesn't. We all do this a little bit, its must of us aren't trying to make a political point while being recorded.
This is not much different from Hillary Clinton's dodging sniper fire on a run way or Whats-his-name's helocopter being shot down. We all alter our memories to fit our internal and sometimes external narratives about ourselves and the world. Of course, she could just be lying too. I was never involved in a drunken escapade involving a fiberglass cow for instance. |

Maybe she's making a distinction between a single, rare case in her teenage years, and the apparent proliferation of such cases since then.

In order to make the distinction, she would have to mention it. And it would ruin her claim that "these race issues" didn't really exist until Obama and his supporters called them into being by using "that awful name-calling rhetoric": The Majority Report with Sam Seder: Candace Owens Forgets Her Own History During Bizarre Interview

Why? She makes the distinction in her head, discards the single rare event as not relevant to the point she's making, and then makes her point. She never says it didn't happen, that's you adding your interpretation to the actual text. She says it didn't happen as much as now. A single event, even if it happened to her, doesn't contradict that claim, nor require any denial when making that claim.
