Blackout
Watch her impressive videos here and elsewhere. Here’s a little teaser regarding Candace‘s favorite chapter: ON SLAVERY
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.
I am not sure if I am with her on labeling good and bad people and ideas by being a Democrat or a Republican. Maybe it works in times of an emotional election, but in my view it’s wrong as a concept. There are good and bad (ideas and people) on both sides, and solving the real hate-censorship-labeling-discrimination problems she is perfectly amplifying by generalizing and doing the same to the others is the problem and not the solution.
However, she is a superstar!
You may ignore her, especially if you are a Trump-hater or Democrat supporter. But this will be a mistake. Not because of who she support or oppose, but because her arguments are perfectly structured to challenge and even change minds on the subjects she is talking about, regardless political standpoint.
I do no agree with all what she say or stand for. I know that she is absolutely wrong on specific big issue she is advocating (About China). But I am impressed, and find her arguments few levels above AOC (and much more pleasant and thought provoking to listen to), even on the subject that I totally disagree with her).
She is a superstar. The Barack Obama (on steroids) Republicans defiantly missing.
Here is about her book (I did not read it yet. Will do as soon as I get it).

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
It’s time for a black exit.
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.
