I'm curious as if Candace's boss, Ben Shaprio ( who's Jewish) has anything to say about her defense of Kanye's antisemitism?

I am also eagerly waiting for Shapiro's response.

Ben recently gave a tepid response about Kanye https://twitter.com/benshapiro/statu...09893683810305 , but he hasn't said anything about Candance. On top of that, more of the Tucker Carlson interview has been leaked and there's even more yikes stuff from Kanye. What's interesting is seeing how some folks online react to more of the antisemitism, but less about how low key anti-black ye is while talking about Jewish people.

Owens isn't human to me. I can't laugh at her antics even ironically. It's one thing to be a sell-out; it's another thing entirely to actively collude with the people who want us on the south end of a tree branch.

Maybe the way her biracial children will inevitably be treated in that tolerant hub of racial sensitivity, England, will reawaken her to her melatonin, but it's more likely she'll ask her crying kids what they did wrong to get taunted by their classmates.

"Candy-O, she's heartless, she doesn't have, em-pa-thy. Candy-O, she's got-no-soul, she's an idiot." Candy-O was the first song I taught myself to play on drums. A part of me is a little surprised that she's been so receptive to Kanye, considering that black conservatives like to think of themselves as so unique and special, like they're the only ones who think the way they do. Maybe she thinks that he'll get other black people on her side, after all, she thinks we're stupid, just like white conservatives do.

She comes across as an actor playing a role. Like everything she says and does is so ridiculous and try hard that it verges on satire and parody. This is her impression of how conservatives think, act and like to hear. I wouldn't be surprised if she gets out of character behind closed doors, and she only puts on the "MAGA" persona after she opens and steps out of them.

She could only get away with it on the right. The left would pull her receipts pretty early and be done with her. The right doesn't care about legitimacy of the person giving the message, as long as the message is something they agree with.

I completely believe this. She can't even keep the typical conservative talking points straight half the time. A lot of what she says is gibberish if not made up. I'm sure when she's home she laughs her ass off over the fact that she's so successful without knowing the topics she's supposedly commenting on.

For what it's worth, Ben Shaprio did comment on Owen's defense of Ye. He said that she's "dead wrong" and "it shows a lack of understanding of antisemitism and the scope of it."

Too bad Ben himself doesn't extend that understanding to other forms of racism and homophobia.

I am currently watching Karen on BET. I can't tell if this is offensive or a guilty pleasure. I kind of feel bad for the titular Karen, because I think she played Pensatucky on Orange Is the New Black, so it's kind of got me thinking she's been pigeonholed into playing crazy ass white women. Kind of feel like this is a lifetime television movie but it's about an evil racist instead of some teenage girl unwittingly dating a sexual predator and having to be rescued by her mom.

Let's be honest, most people don't.

People care about things that affect them, and that is just about it other than easy comments here and there.

There are numerous NBA players, for example, who would be considered "black activists" who have no problem rolling with Farrakhan dumb ass.

Lots of players had no problem low key supporting Desean Jacksons anti-semetic ass.

People are naturally selfish

If you don't mind, could you give an example of what you mean?

The "Hitler would have been fine if he'd just stayed in Germany and tried to make it great" thing actually spun out of her stumbling to justify the term "nationalism" and she's referred to Hitler as a "globalist" which of course has been a code word for both communist and jews.

She went on Fox News and claimed that the NRA started out as a civil right organization that taught black people to defend themselves against the Klan.

She's claimed that she didn't see racism as a big deal growing up until Obama ( implying that it's rise is his fault), despite the fact that her family sued their local Board of Education when white classmates directed racist harassing voice mails directed towards her.

She claimed that the dentation centers at the Southern border a few years ago were better kept than any public school she went to and that the detainees were receiving free Zumba classes.

She said that black people were thriving under Jim Crow and it was actually welfare that messed us up.

She said that "The Southern Strategy" and the democrat/republican-conservative/liberal party switch in the late 60's-early80's never happened despite republican strategists and everyone else who was alive at the time saying yeah, that's what happened.

She's backed out of debates with black journalists and white progressives who actually know the topics of the day, but loves to take shots at random celebrities on Twitter.

( Thinking about it, she has been on a couple of short spots on CNN and Fox with Mike Dyson and Cornell West. She shouted at a confused Dyson and didn't even talk about the subject they were supposed to discuss. And was made to look foolish with West claiming socialism is what hurt the black community and Biden is doing more of it)

There's other stuff too, like a recent "lawsuit" against Facebook which was thrown out of court that she got her fans to pay for.

Oh! I should have mentioned the clip from a few years ago where TI of all people called her out about "Make America Great". He was like, "When do you want to go back to? When we didn't have rights? When women couldn't vote...?" Candace babbled something about slavery being present all over the world. TI insisted, "..tell me!" Candace said why won't you like me finish? TI, "Cuz you started on some bullshit!"

What Candace Owens won't tell you about "...slavery being present all over the world," is that in almost every other society that had slavery, there was some mechanism whereby slaves could earn their freedom, and then work their way toward becoming full citizens with full citizenship rights. Not so in the pre-Civil War South. The only way a slave in the South could be made free was if their owner stipulated it in his will. But even then, a freed slave still could never have full citizenship rights. They still could not vote, could not hold certain jobs, could not testify against a white man in a court of law, oh and of course, they could be charged with a crime if they so much as were perceived as being disrespectful to a white man.

Apparently her anti-BLM doc premiered (I’m guessing before the ceremonial cross burning) and Kanye, Ray J, and yep Kid Rock we all posing for photos together on the red carpet.
