Yet, not a single one of them really points out specific examples of any of this, offers to correct the misinformation or statistics, or presents a fuller context of anything in her book.

There are a lot of claims of misinformation, half-truths, blurred context, opinions masquerading as facts, attacking without evidence, shutting down the conversation, dishonesty, hypocrisy, being demeaning, and writing the book as a ploy to profit off of white people liking this book because they already agree with what she says. To this end, her chapters are titled “On… Conservatism Family Feminism Overcivilzation Socialism and Government Handouts Education Media Excuses Faith Culture and Slavery.”Ī brief perusal of 1-star reviews leaves me a bit confused with their critiques. Lastly, I will expose the inefficiency of the left-leaning public education system and tackle the media’s role in the collective brainwashing of our youth.” I will explain how a radicalized push for feminism is both emasculating and criminalizing men who are needed to lead strong families, and I will reveal the fallacy of socialism, in its inherent argument for the very same government that crippled black America in the first place. “Throughout the rest of this book, I will detail just why I believe the Democrat Party’s policies have led to the erosion of the black community by fostering a persistent victim mentality. For true justice and freedom do not exist without it. What is good and right is not determined by the number of people who voice it or to what volume.Īs critical thinkers we owe it to ourselves to consider all the evidence- both sides of the political coin- and seek the truth. Truth does not stop being truth, facts do not stop being facts because they are said by people we don’t like. But whether or not you like Candace Owens or Donald Trump is irrelevant.

It’s clear this book, published right before the 2020 election, was intended to persuade the black community to vote for Trump. Sure, she is bold and pulls no punches, but her goal here is to poke (rather large) holes in the mainstream rhetoric- awkwardly exposed by Joe Biden when he said “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re voting for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”- and one cannot do that quietly without being drowned out by all the ‘woke’ noise. It’s sad that many people will refuse to open the cover of this book because they don’t like Candace Owens. This is another one of those polarizing books where you see either 5-star or 1-star reviews. “While Democrats have long acknowledged our struggles and the crimes enacted against us, they have done little to provide actual remedies or prepare us for a future that does not center on our brokenness.” Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation
