About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
It’s time for a black exit.
Political activist and social media star Candace Owens addresses the many ways that Democrat Party policies hurt, rather than help, the African American community, and why she and many others are turning right.
Black Americans have long been shackled to the Democrats. Seeing no viable alternative, they have watched liberal politicians take the black vote for granted without pledging anything in return. In Blackout, Owens argues that this automatic allegiance is both illogical and unearned.
She contends that the Democrat Party has a long history of racism and exposes the ideals that hinder the black community’s ability to rise above poverty, live independent and successful lives, and be an active part of the American Dream. Instead, Owens offers up a different ideology by issuing a challenge: It’s time for a major black exodus. From dependency, from victimhood, from miseducation—and the Democrat Party, which perpetuates all three.
Owens explains that government assistance is a double-edged sword, that the Left dismisses the faith so important to the black community, that Democrat permissiveness toward abortion disproportionately affects black babies, that the #MeToo movement hurts black men, and much more. Weaving in her personal story, which ushered her from a roach-infested low-income apartment to1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, she demonstrates how she overcame her setbacks and challenges despite the cultural expectation that she should embrace a victim mentality.
Well-researched and intelligently argued, Blackout lays bare the myth that all black people should vote Democrat—and shows why turning to the right will leave them happier, more successful, and more self-sufficient.

Ms. Owens's book is proof that you can publish a best seller thats filled with contradictions, lies, and false information about a topic you know nothing about and without doing any research as long as you stroke the narcissistic ego of the ruling white patriarchy and toss in a few backhanded compliments to the impoverished, undereducated and notoriously racist white rural folks who form the largest constituency of the GOP. As Ms. Owens remarkably demonstrates through her nonsensical babbling, the key to success for Black Americans or any ostracized peoples is to cater to the prideful paternalistic ego of the white male ruling class by confirming not only that Blacks need the White perception, propaganda, solutions and advice to succeed but that Black folks WANT and embrace the superior wisdom of "the man." This is not a new strategy but was a common survival tactic employed by enslaved Blacks to win the favor of masters by putting on the song and dance he wants to hear...literally.

This book was meant for people with right wing views, it very bias for the get go. The title of the book alone meant that most democrats won't pick up the book and that people with right side views would. Nothing more than a cash grab.

Piece of garbage. Not worth even 1 star. This is extreme hate thinking espoused by someone who is trying to curry favor with people who would otherwise see her just as they see all minorities: worthless.
