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

This Book Is PERFECT!!!
As I expected, Candace Owens’ book is PERFECTION! It’s extremely well written & I can practically hear her voice in my head as I read it. As a black woman I can relate to so many of the things that she’s covered in this book, such as the the trap of being on welfare. It reminded me of my own mother telling me once “Welfare mamas make welfare babies” as a warning to not get dependent on the system to provide for me & my daughter (I was a young single mom at the time). I also love what Candace has written regarding modern day feminism being no friend to the black community. She reminds us of the Emmitt Till tragedy whilst warning against the dangers of a “believe all women” mentality... Candace just hits the nail on the head on so many important issues! I think this is a MUST read for everyone, not just black Americans! Every few pages I just found myself getting excited & texted a friend about what I’d just read! This book is definitely needed right now, given the current state of affairs in our country & it certainly solidifies my position as a PROUD CONSERVATIVE BLACK WOMAN!!!

Honest
Candace Owens can come off aggressive. However, if you actually listen to what she says, she is full of common sense. She is a no nonsense voice in a world that is loud and distracting. If you listen to her, she really does care about everyone living in America and is trying to show them how to make their own decisions instead of following the herd. This book is a fantastic guide on her "wokeness" and journey. No matter your political beliefs, it is healthy to read a book that either reinforces your beliefs, challenges them, or creates new ones. This book should be on everyone's shelf.She is Candace Owens: unapologetic in her beliefs, delivery, and execution. There has never been a better time to try and understand race relations in America. With many books available, this is a must read for a well rounded education on the topic. If you read with an open mind, it may open your mind.Candace Owens came and spoke at my school. Contrary to what the media says, she is respectful, warm, knowledgeable, ope-minded, and a free independent thinker. I couldn’t be more grateful to have her voice in the arena. Thank you Candace!

A real eye opener
Candace presents shocking statistics, quotes from famous historical figures and politicians, and offers a new perspective on the social reforms put forth by democrats that she argues, not only hampers the black community and holds them down, but keeps them enslaved and has been for decades.I was skeptical at first to read this book. for various reasons - mostly the hype around Candace right now, but Candace really came through with evidence and claims that parallel several books I've already read. One notably and fresh in my mind, "The Forgotten Man," by Amity Shlaes which I put down for a moment to leaf through Candace's book. There are, of course, parallels to Thomas Sowell's work and rightfully so. As he does make his material digestible, Candace will target a fresher audience while also making it approachable.She also tackles arguments that I couldn't get over coming from being a democrat myself. Social issues like abortion where I've always sat on the fence and used to say that I was pro-choice, but against using it as a form of birth control, and single-parent homes (I studied psychology and childhood development in college and knew the statistics of single-parent households vs two-parent families, but felt obligated to the left because of the exceptions) Candace gave me a clearer view on those internal struggles I've had for years. I thank her for also bringing up questions I hadn't even thought about before.Personal Note - I, too, had suffered from a victim mentality and how freeing it is to take responsibility for one's actions and choices, and therefor, taking control of one's own life. I hope this helps others free themselves of this burdening mindset as well. It's the best takeaway in this book, in my opinion.

Fantastic insight and easy read
A brilliant and insightful book, written by an articulate, intelligent and very self aware young lady. Whether you love her or hate her, every one needs to read this fantastic and easy read. Five stars all the way.p.s Like many others, my copy was also damaged with stains and torn when it arrived but after contacting Amazon, they have issued a replacement. It seems there are some people working there vandalising these books. Do let Amazon know if your book was damaged and they will replace it or give a refund.

Absolutely BRILLIANT (Read it and form YOUR opinion) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love or hate Candace she is 100% herself, unapologetically. Thoroughly enjoyed reading Blackout. It’s refreshing to see someone following their own path, especially when it goes against the status quo. The Allegory of the Cave sums it up nicely. Truth over goodness any day. 💯🙏❤️👌

Best book going but wouldn’t trust amazon with delivering it. 🙄
Amazing book as expected from such an amazing woman 🙌🏼 Although arrived damaged which I understand has happened with a lot of Candace’s books from amazon. I’ll make sure I order my books from a more trusted place next time when I can rather than from amazon as they don’t seem to take any care with these. 👍🏻

10/10 would recommend
As a Hispanic immigrant who used to be liberal, this book has helped me strengthen my conservative values. Candace Owens is unbelievably well spoken and it’s pure facts. Highly recommend to everyone who needs their eyes opened. Democrats only want you to be less than who you truly are!

Great read!
Really pleased to receive this book so quickly, Candace is an outstanding young woman with a brilliant mind. Shame the book was covered in a strange grease, looks deliberate.
