“For whatever reason, it has become fashionable over the last five or six years for us to turn criminals into heroes overnight” Owens stated in her video at the time. While Owens asserted in her video the manner in which Floyd was murdered was wrong, she called to task why Floyd was being painted as a hero and martyr when that was not the life he led. This was due to the fact that, rather than co-sign the narrative that Floyd was a martyr in the Black community, Owens reviewed his rap sheet which featured other arrests, including one in which Floyd held up a pregnant woman by gun-point while others robbed her home. 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.Then, this year, when Owens posted a video on social media about the murder of George Floyd that has led to a huge uprising in the Black Lives Matter Movement, a ton of hate was swung in her direction. Owens argues that government assistance is a double-edged sword, that the left dismisses the faith so important to the black community, that Democratic permissiveness toward abortion disproportionately affects the black babies, that the #MeToo movement hurts black men, and much more. Weaving in her personal story that brought her from the projects to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, she demonstrates how she overcame her setbacks and challenges despite the cultural expectation that she should embrace a victim mentality. In Blackout, social media star and conservative commentator Owens addresses the many ways that liberal policies and ideals are actually harmful to African Americans and hinder their ability to rise above poverty, live independent and successful lives, and be an active part of the American Dream. A staunch Democrat for all of her life, she began to question the left’s policies toward black Americans, and investigate the harm they inflict on the community. But for Candace Owens and many others, it was a wake-up call. What do you have to lose? This question, posed by then-presidential candidate Donald Trump to potential black voters, was mocked and dismissed by the mainstream media. Political activist and social media star Candace Owens explains all the reasons how the Democratic Party policies hurt, rather than help, the African American community, and why she and many others are turning right.
