CANDACE OWENS: Unlike so many of my fellow Americans, I don't buy Meghan Markle's 'truths' about racist Britain
By Candace Owens For The Mail On Sunday -13 Mar 2021, updated 16 Mar 2021
Is Candance saying she does not like Meghan Markel because she is "passing" as "white" or that Meghan is high yellow? Is Candance showing a blind spot? Does Candance know what she is saying and showing?
I think Candance Owens is upset Meghan Marke is has so light of a complexion. In her comments Candance ignores her own racism aganst "high yellow" blacks.

"On a recent episode of “Oprah’s Lifeclass,” Iyanla Vanzant joined Oprah to discuss the issue of colorism, the prejudices people can face based on the lightness or darkness of their skin tone. While many understand colorism as the discrimination against darker-skinned African-Americans, two of Oprah’s lighter-skinned audience members surprise Iyanla with the colorism discrimination they face as well."
Candance, what are you thinking? Is Tiger Woods to light to be discriminated against? He is mixed too, Candance. I guarantee you, Candance, Tiger is seen as black and there are people who will discriminate against him. Tiger has experienced racism.
Candace Owens Says Meghan Markle Isn’t Black Enough To Experience Racism
“She’s a typical leftist, narcissist.”
Candance, you are being used by the extreme racists white people you serve. YOU are a typical slave to a lost political extremism that usually is only practice by Nazis. Not dark enough to experience racism?! Wow! That is really dumb.
Further, I heard you "identify" as Christian? Trashing Meghan is not Christian. You don't even know Meghan, but you choose to hate her and like Piers Morgan? But you like to make a dollar don't you Candance.
The phenomenon of racism of blacks against blacks is real, and Candance Owens is an example fo one black person saying the other is not black enough to experience racism. Candance shows her ignorance of reality, and her fealty to a group of white people wo do not give a damn about her when she says racist things, and tries out her political "expertise" when speaking of liberals..

When Candace Owens says Meghan Markle isn’t Black enough, how should we respond?
Owens asks Hannity in her latest interview on Fox News, “Why aren’t we allowed to have opinions anymore?” And she knows exactly what she’s doing
Joél Leon
"“Are you Black enough?” The question bites. If you are a Black person who has ever been on the receiving end of that question — whether by your own community, by those on the outside of it, or even by your reflection in the mirror — that bite is unfathomably harsh. It is the kind of question that rings loudly once heard, as loud as a church bell at Mass. And it is, at the same time, a kind of subterfuge, used to paint the person on the opposite end of the question as “less than”.
It is no surprise that this is the kind of language Candace Owens, darling of Fox News, used when speaking about Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey. There were many questionable racial jabs thrown Meghan’s way courtesy of Candace when she paid a visit to the Sean Hannity show, but it’s her “she isn’t Black enough to be a victim of racism” point that has garnered the media’s attention.
Owens is a lightning-rod of a political pundit, one who uses her role as racial antagonist and agitator to speak ad nauseum about Blackness, normally by platforms that are very much steeped in anti-Black rhetoric. Her comments today aren’t new, original, or progressive — they rarely ever are. But they do bring to the surface the question of who gets to decide who is indeed Black enough.
Does your skin color determine your Blackness? Are we still using paper bag tests to see who fills the quota? Does the “one drop rule” still apply? Candace Owen’s claims lean toward “yes” to all of the above. And she isn’t the only one. Piers Morgan questioned not only Meghan’s personal experiences of racism but also her claims of mental health issues. Both Meghan’s father and half-sister deny that racism played a role in the bad press coverage, and have even suggested racism was non-existent in her life in general."
Candance is a very selfish, self-centered, and frankly ignorant spokesperson for dumb conservatives. The white people Candance caters to do not really care about her. Racists Conservatives will use her and thoss her.
"If you were one of the 17.1 million viewers who sat and watched Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, what you saw was a Black woman who herself identifies as biracial in a world that sees her as Black, regardless of her skin tone and the privilege afforded to her because of it. To deny her right to own her experience and her Blackness, to deny her the autonomy to speak to her experience as a Black woman, is racism. It is not new, and, coming from Candace Owens, unfortunately not surprising. She’ll continue to push this narrative because it’s what her audience expects and wants from her. At its root, it is a racist narrative. And we don’t have to accept it."
