Candace Owens Thinks Juneteenth, The Day Black Slaves Were Freed, Is ‘LAME’
Candace Owens was trending on Twitter last night once again to rail against another Black movement. However, this time, she despises Black Twitter for cheering for Juneteenth as an official federal holiday.
Last Thursday, the Black conservative firebrand, best known for being the antithesis of the Black community at large to please her predominately white and older audience, made a remark that many believe was in poor taste—that Juneteenth, the day slaves in Galveston, Texas, found out they were set free thanks to the Emancipation Proclamation, is “lame.”
In Owens’ own words, “Juneteenth is soooo lame. Democrats really need to stop trying to repackage segregation.”
“I’ll be celebrating July 4th and July 4th only. I’m American,” she added.
Juneteenth is soooo lame.
Democrats really need to stop trying to repackage segregation.I’ll be celebrating July 4th and July 4th only.
I’m American. 🇺🇸

Her misinformed tweet caught the attention of critics, which led Owens to make five follow-up tweets for damage control.
However, her attempt to clarify her statement came off as a disturbing rant. From talking about George Floyd’s murder, Black people celebrating “segregation,” how every “race was enslaved at some point,” and America does not discriminate against Black people because certain African and Caribbean born immigrants, who were not impacted by American slavery or the Jim Crow era, are prosperous.
It took all of 2 years for Democrats to train black Americans to worship criminals like George Floyd, beg for violence on the streets via “defund the police” and to celebrate segregation in the form of “black Independence Day”.
I just cannot comprehend the rampant stupidity.

Every single race has been enslaved at some point in human history. Africans are STILL enslaved today.
This is not a holiday. This is more emotional training from Democrats to see ourselves as somehow separate from America.Independence Day is July 4th.
The end.

Segregationist Joe Biden says Juneteenth is "a day in which we remember the moral stain and the terrible toll that slavery took on the country—and continues to take."
More emotional programming for black people that choose to opt in to the perpetual victim mentality.

This is your daily reminder that immigrants from Africa as well as the Carribean are among the most successful ethnic groups in the country.
America doesn’t discriminate against people based on skin. Black Americans are just focused on meaninglessness like “Juneteenth”.

Many people called out Owens’ insidious self-hate, but none other than Twitter user Conscious Lee did a great job exposing her in a minute-long video.
Lee’s video, which comes with citations keyframed on his green screen, points out that Independence Day was originally a segregated celebration because there was inequality between Black people and white people.
Candace Owens ain’t think this one through before she pressed “tweet” huh? @RealCandaceO you exposing them conservative contradictions huh? pic.twitter.com/8a2u0DTtdI

He also mentioned that the Union soldiers that made Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrender were Republicans.
The last big counterpoint from Lee shows how former President Donald Trump wanted to sign an executive order to make Juneteenth a federal holiday while he was in office. Of course, he lost his election to current President Joe Biden, who carried out his pursuit.
After getting massively schooled online, Owens tweeted that Black people have a low “emotional” IQ because politicians easily influence the community.
To politicians all across the world, black Americans are considered the dumbest ethnic group with the lowest emotional IQ.
In other words, the easiest political pawns to destabilize America from the inside out. https://t.co/krGzDj84My
