Summary

New York Times best seller

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 to 1600 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.

Sensational

This book, wonderfully and warmly narrated, offers a refreshing perspective on race relations in the United States and the Western world. I would consider this an essential read for anyone interested in the topic, whatever your views.

Remarkable

This is a remarkable book to listen to. And teaches all of us, that Black America is a much bigger and better, and a much wider issue to dig into; than simply attending a Black History Month event, pretending that we understand something, which in the end, we do not.

Fantastic book!

It is very educational and thought provoking. I love Candace's pursuit of truth over relative "goodness".

Informative and real

Fantastic account of politics and cultures in the USA in regards to the voting patterns, cultural norms and difficulties in having a different point of view - not accepted by populations unwilling to look at facts

Excellent title, revelatory and inspiring vision.

Excellent title narrated by Owens and forward by the well respected Larry Elder. Charts the different areas of lack Americas problems with reasoning provided in its history, oppressive policies and subsequent cultures that been influenced by said aspects. Owens also gives a solutionary vision as to how to avoid further disadvantage. she speaks with conviction and impassion against the myths about double standards and infantilisation of the democratic policies and debunking the common myths about black America that we come to accept as holistic knowledge.
