Conservative activist Candace Owens went on a bizarre racist rant about other people of color she hates, implying that somehow white supremacy is justified.
We’ve turned George Floyd, a criminal drug addict, into an icon.
We are promoting Satan shoes to wear on our feet.
We’ve got Cardi B named as woman of the year.
But we’re convinced it’s white supremacy that’s keeping black America behind.
How stupid can we be?

After their September feud, Cardi B has risen above the Candace Owens attacks, ignoring her entirely. Last year, Cardi B noted that Owens has been obsessed with her since 2018.

Lil Nas, however, shot back at her for attacking his shoe line, which is benefitting from millions in free advertising from the right-wing.

Yes. You successfully got you used by corporations to help further destroy our youth.
Congratulations on being a pawn in a game you likely don’t even understand.
We can take cheap shots on Twitter or I can welcome you to have this discussion with me publicly because it matters. https://t.co/bEcTDi2vqm— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) March 28, 2021
The controversy had an adverse impact, with many saying the right-wing freakout made them want to buy Nas’ new shoe line.
A few people accused her of being a self-hating African American desperate to change her color.

Another suggested that Owens’ low ratings are the reason she’s “punching up” and trying to pick fights with famous people:

this is the most direct way to indirectly say that you hate black people

Candace is only trying to drum up attention for herself and that damn show of hers. If she's back on Floyd and Cardi. She needs so viewers. She can't talk about real issues of the world.

Wait, Candace Owens has a problem with the silly devil shoes? Since when did Christianity become her beat? I thought she focused on worshipping white ppl

1.White people and the news turned George Floyd into a criminal. 2.Don’t wear the shoes if you don’t want to. 3.Other than the fact that she showcases her body Cardi isn’t that bad, she speaks her truth and she doesn’t hide.

This is a bad tweet and I'm no lefty. Floyd was a garbage human but he didn't deserve to die. There are others who died for no reason too like Eric Garner. Unfortunately the people in power don't actually care and its all just political.

Candace Owens is either incredibly daft or incredibly shameless. Maybe even both.
