This country is at a crossroads. We can either reverse direction or nosedive into a cycle of dependency that is turning America into a welfare nation—a “government plantation” where the underclass are doomed to 21st-century servitude. Now, Deneen Borelli, one of the most visible and outspoken black conservatives in the country, is fighting back—taking action, not just talking—and speaking up for those who can’t or are too afraid to do so.

Borelli’s argument is a solid one: the problem begins with President Barack Obama, whose policy overreach has frozen racial tensions in this country when he should have been thawing them. The Left, having introduced the race card to defend Obama from the massive unpopularity of his policies, has turned a blind eye to the leadership failures that have spread down through black career politicians—traitors to minority success—who are causing a cycle of oppression in America: specifically Charles Rangel, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson, each of whom has enriched himself at the expense of his community. Borelli also challenges the ninety-five percent of the black Americans who voted for Obama without caring about or vetting his dangerous politics.

Borelli doesn’t stop there. She speaks out against the elites and crony capitalists who drive expensive government policies such as needless green initiatives and ObamaCare. She exposes government regulation and the NAACP as nothing more than a liberal front group. She points out each grave flaw in the current administration, big government, unions, and special-interest groups. She demands that new black leaders abandon the false rhetoric and inexcusable lies of so-called progressive politics. She asks the questions that people of all colors are afraid to ask, and delivers the honest, unyielding, and controversial answers that have made her the favorite of the left-wing firing squad.

Today, with taking a stand against Obama, comes the fear of being called a racist. There is no fear in Deneen Borelli. Her outspoken voice gives everyone the courage and ammunition needed to stand up against destructive progressive tyrants. She is a brave critic, bold and proactive—not reactive. Hers is a story a lot of people don’t want to hear—no matter how firmly they believe it to be true. Deneen Borelli is here to ignite a fire in independent-minded Americans. Blacklash is the fuse.

***

“I’m conservative. I believe in the power of the individual. I’m a freethinker, and I love my country. Yes, I’m also black, but that fact has nothing to do with my belief in limited government. I don’t like President Barack Obama’s progressive policies and his administration’s spending habits. But some people apparently think that my economic concerns shouldn’t supersede my racial allegiance.

“Nobody wants to be told they’re racist simply because they are too conservative to buy into Obama’s policies. People are too nervous to speak out, so I’m speaking out for them. We need change. We really do. We just can’t afford the kind that Obama and the Washington elites are currently advocating.”

—Deneen Borelli

with a president doing great things to facilitate minority populations helping themselves

June 12, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

A lot of fact-checking and figure-finding went into the writing of this book. It’s one thing to speak in sweeping generalities about policies and effects, but to nail down the very real and quantified impacts makes them more staggering.

Here we are, in 2018, with a president doing great things to facilitate minority populations helping themselves, while liberals use the same old stacked deck, where the next card played is always race.

Thank you, Ms. Borelli.

Logic doesn't elude

Deneen is a refreshing viewpoint. Though this book was very relative in the first year of being published, I find that most of the topics can still hit home today in 2017. There is no shock value left out there - we've see the craziest things happen since 2008. In this fast paced world it has never been MORE IMPORTANT to have the ability to cut through all the distraction and get to the matters. Bravo Deneen.

This was written by someone who is active in breaking the stereo-type of all blacks must be liberal. She has been the bunt of name calling because she is conservative and speaks up. Enlightening of what Deneen has gone through and how tough she is!

This Book set me Free

This book set me free. I was a trump hater until I read this book and have to admit I was wrong about everything. The Liberal indoctrination had me so blind. Now I'm a freethinker who loves America. #Walkaway #Trump2020

Intelligence is fertilized by facts

July 24, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Deneen isn't a breath of fresh air: she is the oxygen that makes the air work again.
Not reading this book, after all these recent attempts to decimate, not just divide, our nation, is to suffocate in the pollution of intentionally poisoned airwaves.

I'm not summarizing the book: I'm trying to get everyone I know to buy it and just give intelligence a chance.

If I needed a new friend, Deneen would be it. Please don't talk her into running for office: leave her in the media and give her more air time.

She's Got Gumption

April 28, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Today in the United States of America, it is good to see someone who is knowledgeable, courageous, and taking action with determination. When you put biases aside, this gal knows her stuff. She loves this country and loves the people in it. She has not held back from saying what needs to be said. Bravo Deneen Borelli ! She has not only taken it upon herself to learn but to get involved. So many of us are prone to lip service without action. We need to quit turning our heads and hoping this mess in our country will go away, or looking to government to solve all our problems. There is already a huge problem with spending that cannot support the current burden much less additional burden. We all need to get some of the "Gumption" exhibited by this author so we can avoid the government plantation.

I can't say I enjoyed the bookhowever it is hard to dispute the case that Mrs. Borelli makes. I have often believed that the government is mostly responsible for the plight of African Americans and others in our society. I also agree that entitlements are akin to slavery and once your are accustomed to them it is hard to shake the addiction. I do believe the government should help those that can't help themselves but that is where it should stop. Mrs. Borelli also makes the point that those who award these entitlements do so for their own sake and that is to remain in power, they have little regard other than their own interests. I didn't realize how bad Jesse Jackson really was until I read this book, I never thought much of him but he is extorting the system and is quite barrier to the progress of African Americans. I always am amused at the main stream media when they portray the Tea Party as racist. I went to one Tea Part event and half of the speakers were African American. If you look at the cities that are the worst for minorities you will find them being run by liberals, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago etc. the liberals do not want what is best for minorities they want to remain in power. There was very little that I didn't agree with in this book, and I hope for all of our sakes that we can improve the chances of success for all Americans, the current path we are on will not provide the means.
