Publisher's summary

Why I Stand highlights the threat of Marxist Socialism to our American culture. The victor will determine the heart, soul, and freedom of our nation for future generations.

American Individualism has been the crown jewel of a nation that, based on its Judeo-Christian values, has prioritized God, family, and freedom to out-dream its obstacles. It is the freedom of this individual spirit that is under attack by its adversarial ideology, Marxist Socialism. This destructive ideology has resulted in “killing fields” of bodies, souls, and dreams of billions worldwide. Consistent is the destruction of manhood, womanhood, the family, and every pillar that supports love of God and country.

Why I Stand documents an ideology that uses trust to divide and betray. It was the ideology of the 1910 NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) founded by twenty-one White Marxist Socialist, atheist, and eugenicist Democrats. They succeeded within decades to undermine the progress of the most entrepreneurial, patriotic, Christian, educated, family-oriented, and competitive minority in our nation during that era: the Black community.

This strategy of trust/betrayal is utilized by many of today’s politicians and corporate leaders. It has been the Congressional Black Congress that have voted 100% for every anti-Black policy demanded of them by their White Democratic leadership. It has been the NFL that has prioritized its expansion to 10 international countries over loyalty to its American fans. Its leadership has justified the denigration of its “All American” brand in exchange for a global “World Citizen” brand.

“American Individualism is the sole source of progress, granting each individual the chance and stimulation for development of the best with which he has been endowed in heart and mind.” - President Herbert Hoover

We MUST defend it.

Enjoyed it.

I wish more people would read this book. Some of it is quite sad, but it has a lot of hard earned knowledge in it.

Eye Opening

The information that Burgess provides is a wealth of knowledge put into one powerful book. It gives a different viewpoint than is often shared on social media and the news where they usually share "opinions". Burgess shares information that is historically accurate and a "must read" if you want to hear the other side of the story. No matter who you are, I believe that you can benefit from this book or audiobook. My suggestion is to go into this book and allow yourself to be educated. If you're a weak-minded person who is not open to hearing other opinions, this book isn't for you. But if you are ready to open your mind to another perspective about the United States of America, Free Enterprise, and Capitalism, grab this book and start reading.

Eye opening!

I was impressed with the methods the author used to explain how Liberalism uses racist groups to exploit and lie to blacks in America.

Great book, a real eye opener

I love the fact Burgess Owens calls things out as it is with no fear of naming the people, places, and even dates. It is a historical review of how the Liberals have made changes that are ruining our Society. And a real eye opener on race relations, to the deception during the Obama years, and also the issues with the downfall of the NFL. A great expose from someone who has witnessed it all. I look forward to reading his next book.

Read if you love America!

All patriots should be knowledgeable on this subject. This book is an easy to understand education from a Christian Pro-family point of view!

As Relevant As the Day It Was Written

This is a wakeup call to America's black population. Burgess Owens explains why following the lead of liberal white and black elitists has reversed the advances made following the civil war. He let's us know how the Congressional Black Caucus only perpetuates suffering and misery in poor black communities. All Americans should read (listen to) this book.

Unable to finish.

Wrong on the year the NAACP was founded. I have trouble trusting the other facts.
