Candace Owens: The Lies & The Damage

Candace Owens built her platform by telling our community that the harm caused by white power is exaggerated, invented, or finished. That message causes real damage. It pushes our families to forget what our elders endured and to question what we are still facing today.

Our community still feels the effects of slavery, segregation, redlining, voter suppression, job exclusion, and state violence. Governments enforced systems of racial control through laws like segregation, housing exclusion, and limits on political participation. Courts upheld those laws. Federal agencies created redlining maps that confined our people to underfunded neighborhoods and blocked access to wealth. Police power supported these systems and enforced their boundaries. Those decisions still influence where our people live, which schools our children attend, how wealth is withheld, and how force is used against us with little consequence. Legal changes did not address the damage. Our daily experience shows it through wealth gaps, health outcomes, incarceration rates, housing access, and constant encounters with authority.

Candace Owens tells our community that the harm we are experiencing is not real. That claim protects those responsible and punishes those who continue to suffer.

Police abuse lies at the center of this reality. Our people face unjust stops, violent encounters, and killings by police officers who often face no serious consequences. Prosecutors drop charges. Internal reviews clear departments. Police unions protect offenders. Qualified immunity blocks accountability. Officers operate freely in our neighborhoods while our people lack reliable protection, legal options, or real support to ensure safety.

When our community speaks about this reality, Candace Owens intervenes. She shifts the focus away from police power and onto our behavior. She questions our grief and re-frames state violence as personal failure. Each intervention defends institutions, weakens our unity, and conditions the public to doubt what our people experience every day.

The George Floyd protests made this pattern clear. Our community demanded accountability after George Floyd was killed by a police officer acting under state authority, keeping the focus on police power, immunity, and state violence. Candace Owens rejected that demand and redirected attention to our behavior. Urgency faded. Pressure weakened. Reform efforts fell apart.

She then said “white lives matter.”

She chose that moment, when our people demanded justice, to center white comfort. Black Lives Matter highlights that our lives are treated as disposable by institutions of power. Candace Owens understood that meaning and distorted it, diverting the moment away from accountability and toward emotional balance, which allowed injustice to continue.

She deepened this alignment by embracing MAGA politics and pledging loyalty to Donald Trump. His rise depended on hostility toward our communities and support for aggressive policing. His rhetoric framed our protests as threats rather than grievances and treated force as order. Candace Owens defended this record and helped present it as acceptable politics while police departments continued operating without consequence in our neighborhoods.

Self-hatred appears when someone dismisses their own people’s memory, mocks their pain, and supports stories that help those who caused the harm. Candace Owens frames our suffering as failure or excuse. She distances herself from our community and aligns with institutions that benefit from denial.

Her marriage strengthens this alignment. Beliefs shape relationships, and relationships build loyalty over time. Her views place her socially, politically, and economically inside systems that profit from ignoring racial harm. Those systems reward her with access, a platform, and income.

Money locks her role in place. Media outlets reward her for denying racism because that denial shields powerful institutions from accountability, and abandoning that role would cost her access, relevance, and income. As a result, her public behavior consistently favors the interests that protect her platform rather than the needs of our community.

Her words have concrete effects. Candace Owens’ speech isolates our community, clears institutions of responsibility, and keeps the same systems intact. It blocks healing, protects power, and leaves our neighborhoods exposed to police violence without defenders or meaningful options for safety and justice.

As some of our people begin to view Candace Owens as a hero for fighting against Zionists, our community must stay clear-eyed. Standing against a few individuals or groups who have also harmed us does not erase her record, and it does not repair the damage she helped cause. She has used past harm as a weapon in her current battles, not as solidarity with our people but as a tool to defend herself. She still dismisses our cries. She still minimizes our lived experience. She still refuses to stand with our community when we demand safety, accountability, and justice.

A polished self-image at this moment in history does not undo years of harm.

Heroes stand with their people when accountability threatens power. Candace Owens chose power over her community.
