    In short, I think the joke is “Haha, right wingers are racist”.

    Candace Owens, the lady on the right, is a right wing reporter/talking head who has had a fairly successful career doing podcasts and such. I guess she has extra claim to fame being a token educated African American woman on the political side she supports.

    I’m not familiar with the Daily Wire, but judging that Ben Shapiro (another right wing reporter/talking head) is the person immediately to Candace’s left, I’m guessing it’s a right wing news outlet.

    Additionally, the “So articulate” is a reference to a pretty infamous comment Joe Biden made about Obama being so articulate for a black man, or something to that effect.

    The comment about locking their desk is referring to the racist stereotype that African Americans steal.

    I’m sure there’s a some dissent over just how far right wing these people all are, but I think that covers the gist of the joke.

      Sorry, can you back the part of that about Biden? Because it's a pretty common trope of how unaware white people will say someone "seems so articulate", I think it showed up in the first episode of The Boondocks?

      Ah, I see, okay. I didn't recognise any of them not being American, so thank you for the explanation

  What is game plan for someone like Owens, regarding face eating leopards? I think she knows she’s being used and why, but she believes enough in the strength of progressives to risk supporting people who would hurt her if they could

    Owens before being fired was spreading a conspiracy that jewish people control Hollywood and kill people who speak about it. She was also trying to say that they target black people to make their culture more “degenerate”.

    I believe that’s the main reason she was fired.
