Con Job: How Democrats Gave Us Crime, Sanctuary Cities, Abortion Profiteering, and Racial Division

by Crystal Wright

Black voters have overwhelmingly supported the Democratic Party for the last fifty years-and for their loyalty, black Americans have been rewarded with worsening schools, collapsed families, skyrocketed incarceration rates, disappearing jobs, and rising crime. Crystal Wright, editor of the blog Conservative Black Chick, exposes how the Democratic Party has systematically betrayed black voters.



Democrats have pulled a big con job on blacks in America. Black voters have overwhelmingly supported the Democratic Party for the last fifty years. Where has that support gotten the black community? Democrats have let black incarceration rates rise and marriage rates drop. They've let entire neighborhoods become dependent on welfare, and they've let education and job opportunities dwindle. So why do black voters keep voting for progressive Democratic candidates?



Crystal Wright, editor of the blog Conservative Black Chick, takes the Democratic Party to task in this bold, biting exposé of the Democrats' systematic betrayal of the blindly loyal black community.

[Roger Leonhardt · Rating 5 out of 5]

An absolutely "Must Read" book! I have read a lot of books exposing the hypocrisy of the left, but this one is pure gold.

[Elizabeth · Rating 2 out of 5]

I had given this 2.5 stars but had to adjust downwards after realizing this book was largely vitriol and rhetoric. There is some good info in this book but you have to get past the "conservative" dogma being screamed at you.

Great premise but the book lacked decent follow through. Too much emotional writing and very little research to back up the author's conclusions.

This book is about how Democrats have hurt blacks in American but you don't get that this is the focus until you start reading. The title is misleading. I felt the author played the race card just as much as she accuses the Democrats of doing.

I didn't read the whole book because several chapters are almost repeats of previous chapters. And the first part of the book is so much a screed against everyone that the author hates that I nearly gave up. I hate overly emotional, pointless, in your face screaming that has no purpose. I quit reading after the chapter on sanctuary cities, read the chapter on abortion and Kermit Gosnell, and skipped to the personal story at the end.

There are good points in this book but the lack of research and support make this book nearly unreadable. It also needs severe editing and better organization.

This book does have some good information included. I was truly hopeful that I would get some insight about what brings a black person to shirk the mainstream politics that demand she vote blue. However, this book, like those by Ann Coulter or David Brock, is full of vitriol and spite. Further, it reads almost like a Twitter feed or blog post. I found it unpleasant to read, even when I found myself intrigued by the underlying content.

Excellent book on the evil pushed on us by liberalism, said evil being disguised as goodness.

[Bill V · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ideologically, I share similar views with the author, Crystal Wright. I agree with many of her points about how the Democratic party manipulates black Americans. However, to me, there is very little that could be considered profound about this work. I found it refreshing to read a book written by a black and female conservative but nothing blew me away philosophically or intellectually.

The title is very straightforward in the delivery of its message, which normally I do like, but I was a bit disappointed in the book's narrow focus on black America. I would have appreciated more of a big picture - how everyone is affected by destructive policies regardless of race or any of issues that categorize us into small groups.

[Diogenes · Rating 1 out of 5]

Splenetic, incoherent tripe. Lacks insight and merely parrots shopworn talking points. Any message this “author” is trying to impart is completely sandbagged by this disorganized, poorly written screed. Anyone interested in the Black conservative experience is advised to steer clear of this mess and seek out greener pastures such as Thomas Sowell, as another reviewer has suggested.
