By Tweeting out her support for Republican Presidential
candidate Mitt Romney during the 2012 election cycle Hollywood actress Stacey
Dash quickly became the darling of conservative circles. Here was an actress,
famous for her role in the movie Clueless
and an otherwise spotty selection of roles on the big and small screen, at
least as African American as the President, boldly proclaiming she was a
conservative. Naturally there was the expected backlash from liberals and race
pimps bad mouthing and name calling her because there natural assumption is if
you are and actor and you’re black, then you are automatically a liberal, Democrat.
Dash delivers the detail not only of her public
transformation, but also the story of her difficult childhood, her dabbling with
drugs and alcohol, her physical and sexual abuse, and her serial
marriages/relationships and the negative impact it all had on her life. In her
new book, There Goes My Social Life: From
Clueless to Conservative Dash talks about how she chose to persevere and
overcome her challenges rather than falling prey to the entitlement mentality.
Dash clearly touches on some classical conservative
thoughts along the way and it’s clear that she sought out and self-educated
throughout her transition process. While that transformation is clearly the
cornerstone of her story, I found myself mired down by the habitual bad
choices, relationships and vices that Dash made leading up to that transition.
I kept plugging through the two thirds of the book that focus on the trials and
tribulations, knowing that there would be a payoff in the end.
The one major takeaway from There Goes My Social Life is that Stacey Dash is truly fearless! She
willingly goes toe to toe with liberals and more often than not reduces them to
the sniveling, clueless piles of mush, who have no alternative but the resort
to name calling and bashing. While many other seems to wither and falter under
this kind of attack, Dash seems to take it all in and come out stronger.
