Daily Wire host Candace Owens ripped NBA star LeBron James on Wednesday
for his targeting of a hero police officer who stepped in to save a
black girl from being potentially stabbed to death.
Owens called James a oloser,o blasted him for advocating odegeneracyo
and hurting black Americans, and argued that his sponsorships should be
pulled over his dangerous rhetoric.
James on Wednesday suggested without evidence that the officerAs
actions in Ohio were racially charged, since the attacker, 16-year-old
MaAKhia Bryant, was fatally shot during the thwarted attack. Bryant and
her victim are both black; the officer is white.
In a now-deleted tweet, the L.A. Laker posted an image of the officer
with the ominous caption, oYOUARE NEXT. #ACCOUNTABILITY.o
After that was deleted, in another tweet, James wrote, oIAm so damn
tired of seeing Black people killed by police. I took the tweet down
because its being used to create more hate -This isnAt about one
officer. itAs about the entire system and they always use our words to
create more racism. I am so desperate for more ACCOUNTABILITY.o

oShe was in the process of KILLING another human being!o Owens slammed
James. oYou are a LOSER for defending this criminal. The police officer
is a hero. He SAVED a black life.o
In a follow-up tweet and Instagram video, Owens made the case that
James was allowed to make such dangerous and factually inaccurate
comments without repercussions because heAs protected by oblack
privilege.o
oIf America was a country that believed in justice, Lebron James would
be stripped of all of his sponsorships,o she wrote to Twitter.
oIf Lebron James is your King a What kind of a despicable human being
defends a knife-wielding maniac?o questioned Owens via Instagram. oIs
that your King?o
oWill black people in America ever wake up to the truth?o she added.
oThe people that weAve been conditioned to idolize are DESTROYING our neighborhoods and promoting degeneracy.o
In the video, Owens suggested that black criminals who are victimizing
other black people are being lionized by left-wing Black Lives Matter activists and easily manipulated high-profile figures, such as James.
Flabbergasted, Owens noted that James said he wants ojusticeo for
Bryant and her family.
oHeAs okay with black Americans get killed by other black Americans
because that is exactly what would have happened if that police officer
didnAt show up,o the BLEXIT founder said in the video. oHeAs just upset
when a black criminal gets taken out by a police officer.o
oWhat the hell are we even talking about right now?o Owens continued.
oHow do you not even see how degenerate that is? How do you not
understand how poisonous that is u that a man with his following is out
here saying that MaAKhia Bryant deserves ajustice.A Justice for what?
She got justice when she tried to kill someone and somebody intervened.
That is literally the function of the police.o
oWe are losing all morality in this society,o Owens said, oPeople like
LeBron James, he is a coward, he is disgusting.o
oI think LeBron James should have all of his sponsorships removed,o she asserted.
If the races were reverse, and James was a white athlete posting a
photo of a black cop with the same oyouAre nexto caption, heAd lose all
his sponsorships, Owens argued. However, oblack privilegeo gives James
the room to traffic in such dangerous rhetoric without repercussion,
she said.
Owens also noted that it will not be James, who lives in a secluded
mansion, to feel the repercussions of police officers refusing to
police high-crime areas, disproportionally affecting black Americans.
