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

Review

Few people have the spine or the character to take on the establishment. Deneen Borelli, fortunately, has plenty of both. BLACKLASH rips apart the rickety lies of self-styled African-American leaders and is an impassioned call for a community to break free of the progressive policies that hold them back from achieving the American Dream. --GLENN BECK --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

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

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

Reviewed in the United States on 13 June 2018

Verified 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

Reviewed in the United States on 8 March 2017

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.

Truthful!

Reviewed in the United States on 8 February 2015

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!

A CONSERVATIVE ACTIVIST CRITICIZES THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

Reviewed in the United States on 25 September 2012

Verified Purchase

Deneen Borelli is a fellow with Project 21, a network of black conservatives and an initiative of The National Center for Public Policy Research. She is a former trustee at The Opportunity Charter School in Harlem, and a television, blog, and print commentator.

She wrote in the Introduction to this 2012 book, "That's why I've written this book. To speak out for what I believe in and to tell the leaders of this great nation what we don't need their handouts, we don't need to be treated like victims and we don't want to live on the government plantation... I want people to hear these messages, but to think and act on their own. I want this book to inspire." (Pg. 15-16)

She states early on, "I don't like Obama because he is doing a horrible job as president... But, some people apparently think that my economic concerns shouldn't supersede my ethnicity... But all white people are not similarly expected to agree with Bill Clinton or George Bush. Nor are all women expected to agree with Hillary Clinton or Michele Bachmann. So why is it that black people---especially black women---aren't allowed to have their own opinions?" (Pg. 4)

She asserts, "We don't need 'equanomics.' The black community needs free market initiatives that would allow competition, grow the economy,and increase jobs, which are badly needed." (Pg. 34-35) She states, "I don't know how we calm the racial tensions Obama's created except to get him out of office." (Pg. 65) Later, she adds, "Clearly, Obama is the government plantation president. As long as we are getting handouts, we are going to be dependent on him and the other political elites who thrive on our inability to better ourselves." (Pg. 79)

She observes, "marriage---not welfare---helps the black American family. The family unit is stronger---both financially and emotionally---if both the mother and father are in the home. Marriage consistently beats poverty, whereas government assistance entrenches dependency. In other words, government aid has contributed to the breakdown of the family." (Pg. 76)

Borelli makes some valid points---although they've been made earlier and in greater detail by other African-American conservatives---and she kind of overdoes the "plantation" metaphor, in my opinion. But her ethnicity (she's married to Tom Borelli, former tobacco exec and current mutual fund manager) and views are making her a popular critic of the administration this election year.
