Owens is in full blame mode the entire book. Her clear and primary goal is to appease folks that already believe what she is saying, and they just need a black friend to say it with them. She goes in to no detail regarding how conservatives are making things better, what they (or her) can offer in terms of goals, strategies, or even positive advice.

Try harder. Get a father. That's all the advice she has to offer.

At the beginning of the book, Owens declares that we need respect and manners, to stop being victims, and have faith. That's what her Grandpa taught her. At the end of the book, she declares that we need Trump, because he doesn't respect anyone and that's what we need. Nevermind his own struggles with victim mentality and obvious lack of faith.

Owens is articulate and educated, which leads me to wonder, why did she write this book? I have to admit that 3/4 of the way through, I decided to finish because maybe she was saving her advice or at least give us a glimpse into what her and other conservatives are doing to help.

Rest assured, she offers nothing of substance, a literal talking head.

This book is composed of her using a statistic she found, then directly attacking the liberals, or lying outright and claiming that the modern Dems are the very same slave owners and kkk of the past. What I did learn from this book is that she is not willing to offer actual, useful information or support for improving this country for anyone. Attack without evidence, shut down the conversation, profit.

I guess.

"It is difficult to control an educated mind." (p 256)

4.5 stars

Owens fits a lot into her book. Topics include: Conservatism vs Liberalism, Family, Feminism, Overcivilization, Socialism and Government Handouts, Education, Media, Excuses, Faith, Culture, Slavery, and, obviously, race.

While I lean more conservative than liberal, I don't always agree with conservatives (especially when it comes to welfare and poverty); but I liked the vast majority of what Owens had to say in this book. She clearly knows what she's talking about and has the references to back up her statements, which is always much-appreciated.

I learned quite a bit about history here, and this is one of those books that I think every high school- and college-aged person should read because it goes against what's heard in mainstream media; these ages in particular need to learn to sort through multiple perspectives on the issues of the day, especially since history isn't being taught in so many schools anymore.

I do think the book should have been proofread better (there are several typos, etc.), and Owens is at times more biting and sarcastic than I would prefer, but I have to give her some serious respect for bucking political correctness and simply speaking her mind!

"My character today is thanks in large part to not just the mistakes I made, but the mistakes I owned, which allowed me to grow into a woman who I am proud to be." (Pg. 190-191)
I love Candace Owens. Although this quote does not speak for the whole book it spoke to me.
This was a good, informative book. She presents facts and data, including the sources at the end of book. With these facts she tells the truth as well as her own story. Very much a call to arms to examine the facts, think critically, and make a change. We must realize not only the mistakes our nation has made but the mistakes we make as individuals.… (mais)

Must-read about disowning the victimhood status taught to us in a post-modern society in favor of abundant gratitude and an inspiration to go out and do.
