I think being a pimp is horrendous and exploitative, but if she came out and owned it, I’d have respect for her. But she hasn’t told the truth (this is not the first time).
Full disclosure; I’m not a CB fan, I did try, but there are many reasons I just can’t follow her.
The WORST thing for me, the true showing of her character, is that while she is suffering (and to be fair she may well be suffering - she’s probably embarrassed about the revelations and really offended by CH) she’s still prepared to publicly bury someone else under a bus and step on them to get ahead. Even if someone has really hurt you, which im sure CH has, it’s still really vindictive, particularly given the platform she has. She is basically saying it’s ok to behave like that. It’s so vindictive and vindictiveness is not a sign of a kind soul.
You can forgive someone and prefer to no longer have them as part of your life; I would understand if she did that to CH, she would be so within her rights and everyone would get it and support that, but it feels like she has this rage about what someone like CH represents (again, this may be understandable), but there’s no effort to work towards love, collaboration, overcoming. It’s about punishing, humiliating, calling people out. In the end, that rage will swallow CB more than it will swallow anyone else. We will NEVER beat racism by excluding white women from the debate. Racism is actually a white issue. Yes, it’s exhausting. Yes, it’s not fair. But we can’t make progress by lying down and staying in that place. We HAVE to be able to talk about it. We have to be able to have these debates and not be screeched at for saying the wrong thing.
Also, you can say something racist and not BE a racist. You can say something and be really sorry. You can say something and change your mind. You can say something and then learn better and do better next time. But cancelling someone forever does not show that we are very cool at all as a species.
Candice could lead the narrative towards a truly positive outcome. The fact that she isn’t, that she’s swirling around in her gifted dress and dancing on someone’s “insta grave” is bleeping bullshit. Unkind bullshit. And I think she’s a big bully too. Just like she’s accusing Clemmie of being.
