Summary: Blackout: Candace Owens

By Campbell Scott

WARNING! This is a Best Seller Summary and Analysis of BLACKOUT. It is not the original book, nor intended to replace it. If you are a Democrat, do not read this book because you will learn many characteristics about your party that are embarrassingly despicable. Your party historically exploited and constrained many Blacks. If you want the truth, or prove yourself to be a Republican or Independent, then this book and Candace Owen’s book are must-reads-- so you can support Black conservatives for 2020 and throughout life.
A hard-core Democrat for most of her life, Candace Owens started to doubt the left’s treatment of and policies for Black Americans. She decided to take a close look at how the Democrats had “organized” Black communities for “change” that meant “control,” “constrain,” and “harm.” The Democrat efforts were aimed to prevent Blacks from conquering the challenges of poverty and embrace the American Dream. Black success meant less power for the Democrats.
Ms. Owens shares her personal history in which she started in the projects and rose to reside on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. She sets an example of how she overcame obstacles and setbacks to beat the Democrat system designed to keep her down as a “victim.”
Government assistance, Ms. Owens argues, has a dark side and can take away motivation and independence. It results in Plantation Politics. She laments how the Democrats’ push for abortion has many adverse effects on Black communities-- beyond the murder of Black babies. She explains how the #MeToo movement is detrimental to Black males and hence the Black communities in general.
Taking a right turn in political identity will lead to a healthier, happier, more independent, and more successful life. 
“What do you have to lose?” was what Trump as a candidate asked Blacks about voting Republican. Nothing is the right answer--but with a whole lot to gain.

FOREWORD BY LARRY ELDER

An American conservative host for his own radio show, a regular television and podcast guest, an attorney, a popular author, and a documentary filmmaker, Larry Elder, is quite familiar with Candace Owens.

He quotes Ms. Owens during a congressional hearing on the possible increase in White Nationalism with President Trump in office. Ms. Owens argues that's not a significant issue regarding Black or other communities who are harmed by illegal immigration, Neither is it worth talking about than something that is a real threat to all Americans-- Democrat radical Socialism. Ms. Owens accuses the Left of wanting Blacks to harbor an excess of fear and hate Whites. Instead, we should be working on getting fathers back into homes and better policies and results.

Mr. Elder aptly describes Ms. Owens as courageous and charismatic, bright and incandescent. She is convinced that the Democrats are far from deserving her support, nor Blacks in general, who are supposed always to vote Democrat.

Mr. Elder establishes that the Black vote is far from being suppressed from racism. A historical first: The percentage of eligible White voters who voted in the last election has fallen below the percentage of eligible Black voters who voted in the same election.

The Democrat agenda that is designed to snare Black votes:

Propagandize Blacks to identify as victims.

Push the fallacy that Blacks are plagued with systemic and institutional racism.

Convince Blacks that they have to be financially dependent on the government--the Democratic Party--to survive at all.

As Owens told Congress, the evidence shows that the undermining of Black communities arose from government policies that worked to remove fathers from home.

When the Democrats and LBJ produced social welfare in the 1960s to secure the Black vote, only 12% of Black kids were born to a single mother. Now it's 70%, according to the CDC. Case closed. Elder tallies up all of the apparent consequences that not only harm the kids and their families but the community as a whole, without having a proper father figure around the house.

Mr. Elder’s additional points:

Whereas the primary source of preventable death for young White males is accidents, the primary source of death for young Blacks is homicide by other young Blacks.

Protesting against police, suing them, physically abusing them, or even murdering them reduces their motive to serve and protect, which leads to increased crime disproportionately against Blacks.

Whereas just 10% of felony, nonhomicide violent interracial crimes are committed by Whites on Blacks, almost 90% are the other way around.

Illegal immigration evidence shows that low or unskilled Blacks are harmed disproportionately.

Thirty-three percent of all abortions in the US are on Black mothers.

Welfare has wed women to the government as it encourages men to abandon their moral and financial obligations.

Big-city Blacks must choose from a limited menu for education.

More harm than good arises from the Community Reinvestment Act and affirmative action.

A prominent Harvard sociologist made the statement that the US, still as a White-majority nation, is the least racist. Minorities enjoy superior civil rights and opportunities to succeed.

Democrats, with thanks to people such as Ms. Owens, showed a steady migration to the Republican Party as of the winter of 2019.

INTRODUCTION: WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?

Owens defines a Black American for the reader:

Your skin color defines your identity and not for the right reasons.

Society determines your narrative for life, one plagued by failure, expectations of falling short and blame falling upon your skin color.

It is at the center of a struggle that not only defines communities but a nation: the struggle for equality, not only of rights but of opportunity and success.

One subject to attempted mind and emotional control by Democrats through repeated lies and government policies stacked against you.

Southern Democrats:

Were the vast majority of slave-owners, and especially in the south with their plantations, and had no allegiance from Blacks after the Civil War.

Watched Blacks become loyal Republicans, under the protection of Union soldiers, and excel both politically and financially.

Exploited Lincoln's assassination and Reconstruction was deconstructed by southern Democrats. Blacks were denied access to voting booths, all resulting in a Congress penetrated by Segregationists.

Launched Jim Crow who flew into all-Black communities to render all Blacks to the back of the bus once again.

Instigated the Compromise of 1877, trading the implementation of Republican President in return for withdrawing Union troops--and rights for Blacks--from the south.

Persuaded Blacks to give up their loyalties to the Republicans for FDR and the New Deal in the 1930s after fifty years of struggle under Jim Crow.

Backed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to gain Black votes for decades and absolutely no advancement until modern times under Trump.

Studies and statistics from 2018 offered by Owens to show little advancement since the 60s:

Blacks suffer from two and one-half times the poverty rate for Whites.

Although Blacks enjoy more education, they still lag behind Whites.

The average Black family has one-tenth of the wealth of their White counterparts.

Blacks are imprisoned more, own fewer homes, and are less employed by twice as much.

Owens points out that racism hasn’t changed much since the 1960s, so you can’t blame that. What you can blame is the Democrats perpetuating victimhood and increased hate and racism and programs designed to keep Blacks down.

Owens quotes Trump's August 19, 2016, wake-up call to Black America, which hit her hard over the head. After citing statistics showing Black underperformance under Democrat leadership and a world of permanent brokenness, he asked what they have to lose by going Republican?

The Democrats make their money off of promises for a better Black America through bigger government and more suffocating laws and programs, yet secretly hope that their inefficient monstrosities fail to retain vote and power.

If Blacks succeed, the Democrat party does not.

Owens’ challenge is clear, cast away the narrative of the victim and embrace the narrative of self-sufficiency for some good old-fashioned do it yourself (DIY.) Owens is leading a charge to blackout" the liberal Democrats permanently.

1: ON CONSERVATISM

Owens shares her fortunate opportunity in one of the Carolinas to move from an urban apartment she shared with cockroaches in a building also plagued with fisticuffs and interrogations by police to a more suburban setting with her grandparents across town.

There she would come face-to-face with conservatism.

PLANTING THE SEEDS OF CONSERVATISM

Owens recounts how
