I’ve been on Twitter lately, which is why you haven’t seen me post here lately. I saw this news on Twitter about Candace Owens and why she is being sued by Trump supporters. I wanted to share it with you. Here’s the “Readers Digest” version of this story:
- A class-action lawsuit has been announced after a pro-Donald Trump crypto-currency was launched, leaving investors broke.
- Those suing purchased a digital currency named after the right-wing slogan "Let's Go, Brandon." Now they're saying that they were the victims of a pump-and-dump scheme by the insiders.
- The slogan "Let's Go, Brandon," is a phrase that is supposed to mean, "F*ck Joe Biden." It has never been clear why Trump supporters have censored themselves from saying the phrase, but it has become a major slogan in Trumpworld. The popularity of the meme expanded to such a degree the cryptocurrency was named after it: LGB. Note: I’m glad that they stopped there, instead of calling it LGBTQ, which would have gotten zero Trump supporters to invest in this scheme.
- According to those waging the class action lawsuit, however, the value of the digital currency sank like a stone. The start of the coin was purchased by Donald Trump's most loyal fans, but it died. It was then relaunched in Feb. 2022 to considerable fanfare only to plummet again. Trump loyalists lost everything they'd invested. Note: Where have we seen this before in Trumpworld? Trump University, perhaps? Truth Social, perhaps?
- The 79-page lawsuit filed in Florida says that the currency's leaders “cynically marketed the LGB Tokens to investors so that they could sell off their portion…for a profit.” Selloffs of the coin caused the value to fall considerably.
- One of those named in the lawsuit is NASCAR, right-wing personality Candace Owens. Note: Let’s pause for a moment and think about this. A black woman is a NASCAR right wing personality. That’s like having a black Supreme Court Justice being married to a white supremacist. It’s inconceivable, right?
Okay, let’s reflect on this. A black woman who is a right wing Trump supporter. Is she pining to become a slave? As a person of color, nothing disgusts me more than another POC selling their soul (assuming they have one) to make a quick buck by supporting the most racist asshole in America. But that’s the world we live in today. Actually, I would gladly stand behind Donald Trump at one of his racist MAGA rallies wearing a “Blacks for Trump” T-shirt if they paid $10,000. And midway through Trump’s racist rant, I would prominently display a big sign saying, “Joe Biden 2024!” Of course, they would haul me off quickly, but I would have $10,000 more in my bank account and I would have triggered the MAGAs. On Twitter, I block about 100 MAGA trolls each day. But it’s taking a troll on me.
Anyway, here’s the story which I quoted from: www.rawstory.com/…
What a sick world we live, and what a sick country we live in. Thankfully, Candace Owens does not represent black people, and certainly not black women who voted for Joe Biden by 95%. But even 5% of my folks is too much cray cray for me to stomach. I just wish that Malcolm X were around to see this shit. He’d have some choice words for these fools.
