I don't know who Candace Owens is, but I feel sorry for her. She apparently has to clown and dance for her White audience, so she shuffles her feet and makes comments that celebrate ignorance. Juneteenth is as made up as Independence Day (July 4) itself.
I know plenty of people did not know about #Juneteenth until it was finally (after more than 100 years!) became a national holiday, but if you were Black in certain locations, it is one of the longest standing celebrations.
So Ms. Owens, if you do not want to celebrate, don't celebrate. But don't let yourself be the useful clown to those who like you only because you parrot their own racial insecurities back to them. They will eventually discard you, the same way they discard every Darkie. Because in the final analysis, you're not their kind of people.
