PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Candace Owens is rather outspoken when it comes to sharing her opinions, but her latest hot take on crayons appears to have majorly backfired.

The conservative commentator's latest social media rant had nothing to do with race, gender, or politics. Nope, she took aim at — wait for it— the humble white crayon.

Candace Owens' rant against the white crayon and subsequent backlash

It all started when Candace Owens shared a quirky parenting moment on X (formerly Twitter) that raised eyebrows. Her daughter was coloring when she pointed out that the white crayon "doesn't work." This apparently had Owens scratching her head, and she couldn’t resist taking to social media for a public inquiry.

She posted on X, “My two-year-old daughter just came over to me with a white crayon and said 'Mommy it doesn’t work.' And I think it’s perfectly reasonable to ask @Crayola what exactly is the point of the white crayon.”



 

Naturally, the post blew up — leaving some followers amused while others totally baffled. Some folks thought Owens was joking, but others jumped in to give her a lesson on how crayons actually work. While Owens’ post may have been tongue-in-cheek, the replies were anything but.

"It works on any colored paper besides white paper. Just like every other color 'doesn't work' when used on paper the same color as the crayon. This isn't rocket science," one critic responded.

"There is so much I could do with that, but let us just point out that they actually make black paper," a second offered.

"This is going to blow your mind but you can buy colored paper," another wrote. 

"It’s the DEI crayon," someone else quipped.

"White isn’t the only color that sucks on white paper. But kids draw on different colored paper. That’s why there are white and other light-colored crayons. What exactly was the point of this post?" a comment read.

"Of course, the only crayon that doesn't work is the WHITE one, while all the other colors live in harmony," another joked.



 



 



 



 



 



 

Candace Owens takes on Eminem and Obama

This comes as Owens went after some heavy hitters on the other side of the aisle — namely Eminem and former President Barack Obama— after they recently teamed up to campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris at a rally in Detroit, Michigan.

Owens had some choice words on her podcast 'Candace'. She began, "There’s our boy Barry, who grew up with a trans nanny, pretends to be Black, speaking with the brothas."

"Eminem is still cosplaying as some rapper who has been through things, even though he hasn’t touched his own door handles in 40 years," she continued. "He decided he’s going to come out and remind Black people in Detroit what they should be doing."

"Obviously, since it wasn’t enough for Barry to tell us what the brothers should be doing, we’re going to add on this guy who has a complex and has made essentially three albums dissing Trump," Owens added. "He’s going to come out and tell Black people how to act, which makes perfect sense! Eminem is such a fraud."

At the rally, Eminem stood behind Vice President Harris and urged Detroiters to get out and vote.

"I'm here tonight for a couple of important reasons," he told the crowd on October 22.

"As most of you know, the city of Detroit and the whole state of Michigan mean a lot to me, and going into this election, the spotlight is on us more than ever, and I think it's important to use your voice, so I'm encouraging everybody to get out and vote, please."

"I also think that people shouldn't be afraid to express their opinions, and I don't think anyone wants an America where people are worried about the retribution of what people will do if you make your opinion known," he added.

"I think Vice President Harris supports a future for this country where these freedoms and many others will be protected and upheld."

After Eminem’s speech, Obama couldn’t resist throwing in a playful nod to one of the rapper’s most iconic songs, 'Lose Yourself.'

The former president quipped, "I gotta say, you know, I’ve done one a lot of rallies, so I don’t usually get nervous, but I was feeling some kind of way following Eminem. I notice my palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, vomit on my sweater already, mom’s spaghetti, I’m nervous but on the surface, I look calm and ready to drop bombs but I keep on forgetting."
