#BLEXIT campaign urges black Democrats to #WalkAway
“BLEXIT is a renaissance. It is our formal declaration of independence.”
When then-candidate Donald Trump pointed out that Democrat policies have harmed black Americans and asked them what they have to lose by voting for him, the leftstream media went into full meltdown mode. The last thing the left wanted then, or want now, is a big shining spotlight on the damage that Democrat policies have inflicted on black Americans for more than half a century.
It was a telling moment when then-chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), Representative Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), admitted in 2011 that if Obama weren’t in the White House, the CBC “probably would be marching on the White House” in protest of the historically-high black unemployment rate at that time. Unwilling to criticize America’s first black president or to provide ammunition for the then-vibrant Tea Party, Cleaver and his caucus chose to ignore the incredible damage America’s first black president was inflicting on America’s black communities.
Not so for outspoken Trump supporter Kanye West. In conjunction with a project led by staunch conservative Candace Owens, West has started a line of apparel, including hats and tees, that promotes “BLEXIT,” the black voter exodus from the Democrat party.
According to their website, Blexit is “a frequency for those who have released themselves from the political orthodoxy. It is a rebellion led by Americans wishing to disrupt the simulation of fear. BLEXIT is a renaissance. It is our formal declaration of independence.” The site contains materials with which those of us on the right are well-familiar, but that may be less known to Democrat voters (of any race), including the blatant racism of such vaunted progressive heroes as Woodrow Wilson, LBJ, and Margaret Sanger.
The #BLEXIT campaign is quickly going viral.
There is no group in America that has been more lied to, more abused, or more taken advantage of by the Democrats than black people.
At long last, we can return the favor by ENDING their stranglehold on our votes.
Support the #BLEXIT today, Patriots! https://t.co/1kEDqZWKUF

I have returned from Turning Point USA’s Young Black Leadership Summit, the first part of which I wrote about here, including our visit to the White House. A highlight of the second half of the event was the announcement of “Blexit,” a new project spearheaded by Candace Owens.
. . . . Candace and the rest of the crew are planning to criss-cross the United States, holding Blexit rallies in all major cities.
This is, of course, the Left’s nightmare: African-Americans declaring independence from liberalism, the welfare state and the Democratic Party. And the current generation of fiery, smart young black leaders can, I think, make it happen in sufficient numbers to be a political earthquake.
The announcement of Blexit took place in an auditorium where everyone present got a free Blexit t-shirt. It is the only article of clothing I own, or am ever likely to own, that was designed by Kanye West . . . .
Fox News has more about Turning Point USA’s Young Black Leadership Summit and Owens’ enthusiastic launch of #BLEXIT:
Kanye West is throwing a literal hat into the political arena once again, this time designing a line of T-shirts and hats for a campaign dedicated to urging black voters in the U.S. to break away from the Democratic party.
The rapper and fashion mogul designed a series of clothing merchandise supporting “Blexit,” which seeks to not only convince black voters to change parties but shows the stories of those that have already. The designs debuted Saturday at the Turning Point USA’s Young Black Leadership Summit, a meeting meant to bring together conservatives in the black community.
Although West did not appear at the event directly, its Communications Director Candace Owens sung his praises at the event in spirit.
“Blexit is a renaissance and I am blessed to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero Kanye West,” Owens, who west previously endorsed on Twitter, said (via Page Six). “[West] has taken one of the boldest steps in America to open a conversation we have needed to have.”
The leftstream media has been relatively successful in branding the #WalkAway movement as a Russian campaign, but it’s hard to imagine how they can do the same with #BLEXIT since neither West nor Owens are unknown quantities they can easily sweep away as Russian bots.
The #BLEXIT movement is certainly gaining steam on Twitter.
How much more of this movement can the media ignore?
PACKED HOUSE OF BLACK LEADERS WHO LOVE @realDonaldTrump and LOVE AMERICA
The movement is growing everyday

We black conservatives have a Dream that one day the black community will completely leave the plantation.

Remember when Obama called Kanye a jackass? That particular chicken has come home to roost.

Lincoln freed most all the slaves but for the Democrat Party!
You got it wrong: Odumbo was preening in the mirror when he said it.
I’ve always wondered why, when looking at the actual results, blacks continued to support Democrats… so glad that this long overdue Renaissance is underway as it was the Republicans that freed the slaves and Democrats who created and enforced Jim Crow laws.
I guess it must be akin to spousal abuse and the
Stockholm Syndrome that affects kidnapped victims.
Being dumbed-down in school, babied with welfare benefits and being coddled by police = plantation NPCs.
Those Russian Bots have sure been busy!
Woke
A friend sat next to Rev. Jackson at an event and asked him about Trump. He said that Trump couldn’t be any worse for the black community than Obama. Trump’s results speak for themselves whether Black leaders admit it or not.
Between this, the Brazil vote, and Merkel going…this is the BEST MONDAY EVER!
I never was a part of it. I saw the hatred and deceit with which the Left operates during the Bush years and I decided I wanted no part of it.
Glad other blacks are finally getting it.
Two thumbs up!
Use “other Americans”. More true.
The last time there was a movement to run off the plantation, the self-declared owners had them hog tied, dragged back and physically punished as a warning to others. Now it’s the media taking that role on behalf of the Democrats. Instead of being physically dragged back to stay in their assigned place of being obligated to vote a Democratic Ticket, the media is acting the bounty hunter with a message of retribution and punishment of how much they will lose if they “run away”. Starting with Obama’s 2nd run when unemployment was peaking for all, but more so for those who were living in a self-imposed black segregated community and which the media did not cover. But what they did cover were things they would lose if they did not vote a party line such was the clip of the black lady bemoaning the loss of her “Obama Phone”. The ability to control the message is the biggest fear of the media on the left. The more they do, the louder they become.
And Obama did all of that – especially to Black Americans – on purpose, imo.
Thank God for Candace Owens. As P.J. O’Rourke wrote in his book “Parliament of Whores,” you can always tell which movement is hot, because the beautiful women are in it!
I always read and enjoy articles posted by Fuzzy Slippers. I also look for comments you happen to post, especially when you are argumentative. Regretfully, I haven’t noticed any Fuzzy Slipper comments in awhile. I must say, if I walked a mile in your slippers, they wouldn’t be fuzzy any more.
Fuzzy for President!
Move Forward with Fuzzy
Make America Fuzzy Again
I volunteer to be her Press Secretary!
Oh lookie, Fuzzy yet again abuses her moderation authority to delete comments that are neither vulgar nor trolling.
LI guests are not allowed to criticize Fuzzy.
Time for Jews to do the same. Walk away! Oy!-xit!
As a Jew absolutely flummoxed by the likes of barbara streisand, speilberg, and the rest of the liberal Jewish idiots of hollywood and New York, I am at a loss, except to say that streisand and speilberg have every right to be suicidal Jews, and I can say without hesitation, I would not defend them in least, in any way, shape or form.
Look out for your own kind, first. If Jewish liberals want to be Darwined out of existence, more power to them.
“I know the distress you are suffering and your poverty (but you are rich). I also know the slander against you by those who call themselves Jews and really are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.” – Revelation 2:9
“Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you.” – Revelation 3:9
It’s the same hypocrisy you find in all mankind, the same lies. Jews who eat bacon, Mormons who drink, Priests who are not celibate. Any one can fall, and will. The true believer acknowledges his sin and begs forgiveness; the hypocrite tells himself it’s ok he sinned because (blank).
Then you have the Jew or Christian that does not believe. They were raised in a religious household but never truly believed. Why should Spielberg or Streisand or Soros feel anything when they are rich? What have they suffered for their convenient religion that is there when needed then jettisoned when not? Soros watched people lose everything for a belief he did not share even though he was raised in a Jewish household. You could see him as a modern day Balem.
There is little doubt in my mind that most people in the world (not just Jews) are of the ‘synagogue of Satan’ and are to be pitied, and prayed for
GOP, the Grand Old Party, represents people of all colors. I personally welcome Black people to the Republican Party. Some may find it awkward at first but I think that, after awhile, they would find it’s a good fit. Soon, it would no longer be Walk Away, it would be Run As Fast As You Can!
It’s not awkward because skin color doesn’t define personality.
The Democrats made a Herculean attempt to will America to that high and cynical correlation and it worked for a very long time…let’s hope the identity politics mask gets fully ripped off as the madness is coming to an end.
I was not referring to skin color. What I mean is that people who are born and raised Democrats may find it strange or weird or awkward at first when becoming/identifying as Republican. But soon you will feel good about yourself and wonder what took so long.
More like a Homecoming, blacks had been primarily Republicans until the Democrats threw them on the plantation with the Civil Rights Act, which had been pushed for by Eisenhower.
They have been exploited by the left for a long time, even though many blacks who are religious tend to be against most of the Democrat party platform.
So this is like, welcome back. I just hope a large amount of them are willing to move to a party that aligns more with them, and that the Republicans don’t take it for granted.
I love to see this happening, I hope it’s “for real” and happening in significant numbers. This could kill the Dim party, hence their desperate attempts for open borders. Make no mistake about it, “voting rights for EVERYONE” will be next.
At the very end of the thread there is a tweet from a young man named Cristian… it shows him in photos with Ben Carson and Larry Elder. That has to be scaring the daylights out of the progs, to know that there are a growing number of heavy-weight black conservative leaders out there for young blacks to look up to.
One of my favorite Youtube videos ever is Dave Rubin’s interview of Larry Elder. Rubin has stated that the interview is one of the big turning-points that made him realize he wasn’t a liberal like he previously thought he was. In the interview Elder dismantles the left’s “systemic racism” trope.
Black leaders in Balmer hated Ben because he was the exact opposite of everything that they supported or predicted.
Following the war of secession in 1865, it was a rarity for a Negro to associate himself with anything but the Republican party. After all, it was the party of Lincoln, and Lincoln had granted the Negros their freedom (void where prohibited in Democrat controlled Jim Crow Southern states).
That trend continued for nearly a hundred years until the Democrats figured out they could buy indentured servitude via LBJ’s massive welfare extravaganza, absurdly called ‘The Great Society.’
It’s been a cruel rot of genrational poverty within minority communities ever since because welfare rules demand fatherless homes.
I am glad to see this Blexit wake up call. God bless ’em all.
You’ve heard LBJ’s infamous quote using the “N” word after the “great society” welfare programs were passed?
I keep getting the lie about how the parties switched and the dems became the “savior” of the Blacks.
Well gollllllly there liberals, here’s old LBJ himself on Youtube using the N word. When was that so called switch again?

I can’t wait to see the racial breakdown in the midterms.
They’re no longer African-Americans. They’re Americans.
They are Americans, and if they do this in significant numbers, they’ll finally get real political power, because they can always threaten to vote for the “other” party (whichever it happens to be) in the future.
Diamond and Silk versus Odumbo and Maxine Waters.
Take your pick.
Maybe Candice Owens and the Brexit folks could find their way to Michigan and give John James some love. He is closing the gap on Stabinow and it will be a squeaker.
I saw John James on the “Outnumbered” a couple weeks back and had a”who is this guy?” moment. I Googled him… he needs to be in the Senate. A very impressive man. West Point combat vet, for starters. There is a post here on LI (upstream) regarding that race.
