Candace’s recent turn to TikTok tea and pop culture clapbacks isn’t evolution; it’s a tactic. A Trojan horse wrapped in "you know I’m just saying what everyone’s thinking" realness, except what she’s saying is historically violent to Black people, queer folks, and anyone trying to live free outside white patriarchal control.
Her rise isn’t shocking. It’s a case study in how white supremacy adapts: it platforms a polished Black woman with quick wit, high cheekbones, and just enough shade to slip under the radar. But we have to stay sharper. She’s not switching sides. She’s learning how to smile while she leads people back into the fire.
This is not about disagreeing on tax policy. It’s about a woman who leveraged white fear, anti-Blackness, and proximity to power to build a brand, and now wants the warmth of our attention without accountability for the harm she’s done. We can laugh at the Ryan Reynolds critiques and still hold the full truth: her strategy is to distract, disarm, and then distort.
She’s not changing. She’s just changing lanes. Stay ready.
She’s not misunderstood. She’s methodical.
