Blackout

How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation

By: Candace Owens, Larry Elder

Narrated by: Candace Owens, Larry Elder

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.

I thought I was a Democrat until now.

She hits every topic on the head. I see my self as Democrat and only downloaded to see what the other side has to say. I was blown away. Everything she said I wonder why I haven’t ever heard of this before. A great listen.

A Contemporary Masterpiece!

Candace covers a wide range of topics and uses logic, reasoning, statistics and personal and public Accounts that will rock some people's worldview and will challenge conservatives to continue the struggle. It is very thought-provoking, very well written, and should be studied and discussed by all.

Full of facts!

I loved this book; first audiobook for me, ever. I plan to actually buy this book in print so that I can highlight facts and other truths. I highly recommend this to people on both sides of the political spectrum.

Powerful

Such a powerful message, everyone should take the time to read this book. I was blown away by the authentic message Mrs. Owens gives throughout the chapters. May Blackout thrive and flourish throughout our communities, may her message be heard and received by millions.

I loved this book!

live that she narrated the story herself. very eye opening book, but a respectable, admirable, and wise woman.

Simply amazing

I have never been someone who really cared for or paid attention to politics, yet I will say you have open my eyes to a lot of things that I never knew about the government, politics, being president, our history as a Black people, and so much more. This book definitely is a must read for anyone who wants to learn about Democrats, Republicans, left parties, right party, and all those in between. Thank you Candice for Your dedication, your strength, your knowledge, and your heart. Thank you for doing the heart work, & much success to you and your family. And congratulations on the new baby to come.

Owen's is either Americas favorite or least favorite person depending on what party you align with. What one can not deny is the truth she tells, the ease at which she writes a great book, or her desire to help black americans recognize their true potential. Highly recommend !!
