Political activist and social media star, Candace Owens, tells why she and others are turning right as the liberal policies and ideals hinder the black's ability to rise above the poverty level. Turning right leaves them happier, more successful and self-sufficient. Candace claims that government give-aways equal more taxation. Handouts are absent of hard work and render the recipient weak and depletes self-esteem, entrepreneurial spirit, drive and aspiration. I found a lot of what she was saying made sense to me especially when she wrote about affirmative action. Falsely elevating blacks to positions will make them suffer if they cannot perform. Shortcuts and handouts through policy cut back on their hard work. Only hard work has produced black greatness. Black culture is the biggest contributor to black failure. Education is not deemed as "cool" and Candace found that blacks perform better when mixed with white students. Reading her book gave me a different perspective from a black person's point of view. Candace now gives speeches throughout the country asking blacks to consider turning right as "what do you have to lose?" if relying on the liberals has not helped your situation.
