Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation by Candace Owens
3.0
First of all, I have respect for Candace Owens. As a black person, I don't subscribe to bashing other black people for their political views. I get what she has said about the Democratic Party, and understanding what I know and have observed about politics, she's not wrong about the Democrats. However, her being married as she is to her conservative views, she never once brought up anti-black views of conservatism. As a matter of fact, she sounds lecture-y and condescending in some parts of her book, kind of like liberals do at times. lol Overall, if her aim is to get black people to defect over to the conservative side, she could have highlighted some policies that would have made her case stronger. Personal choices a person made in life and policies improving the quality of life of a person can be conflated, but they are not the same. For the most part, black people vote for affirmation, and that is the main issue with the Democrats and black people in my opinion.
