The following is a message that has to be heard. It has to be heard if we are ever to break the shackles of tyranny. An upcoming documentary that will surely be targeted by the left as pure pap and likely labeled racist. The Runaway Slave movie will be released in 2011 and the trailer is so powerful that I felt I needed to share it with the readers of Right Pundits. It takes on the very touchy subject of race, slavery, blacks who are conservative and basically the whole “plantation” mentality that the democrats seem to thrive on and want to keep black Americans stuck in.
Since the mid-60’s black Americans have been voting democrat at an almost 95% pace. 2008 was no different, Barack Obama carried the black vote by a very healthy margin. We’ve seen stories lately of how Mr. Obama is starting to lose even the black voters in this country. The problem is it doesn’t appear to be for the right reasons.
We’ve seen anecdotal stories of black voters being disinfranchised with Obama simply because he hasn’t come through with promises of jobs and hasn’t ended their financial hardships. The truth is no one man is capable of doing this. Even Barack Obama, America’s first African-American President. The Runaway Slave movie deals with the entitlement mentality that is keeping black Americans (and others) in proverbial slavery.
Pastor C.L. Bryant is a black preacher who declares that he has escaped from the plantation; Bryant then describes his documentary as those who have won their freedom going back to the plantation to declare to slaves that they can be free as well. He essentially says that blacks and anyone else who rely on the government to survive are nothing more than slaves to the system. Democrats right now are trying to add Hispanics to their plantation with immigration reform.
Bryant is correct in his assertion that relying on government for survival is nothing more than slavery. Those who depend on government programs and handouts have allowed themselves to become slaves to the master of government. Liberals and statists are all to happy to allow this to continue. What is truly tragic about this is that those who depend on government think that they are getting what they “deserve” when in essence they are settling for a meager wage which amounts to slavery.
The political discourse in this country has fallen to a dangerous level. Any criticism of these socialist, liberal policies is often met with cries of racism. The Runaway Slave movie deals with this as well. One black clergy member in the clip below says something that is so simple yet so profound. He says that this message cannot be delivered by a white man. A white man bringing this message will only be called a racist. As a matter of fact I am completely expecting to be labeled a racist for writing this now.
After pondering this subject and seeing the trailer for The Runaway Slave movie, I’m convinced that the key to finally breaking the shackles of progressive tyranny and truly being a nation of free men will be for African-Americans and other minorities on the government plantation to understand and see that those who have promised to give them so much have really taken much more away from them.

The trouble is that most liberals are too short sighted to see how much damage the feel-good programs they support do. Providing support for a single mother so she can feed her child IS a good idea. What they don’t get is that they way these programs have been doing it for 50 years places her in a position where she can NEVER STOP taking aid and stand on her own two feet.
Even worse these programs have created entire generations where the mothers ONLY path to a better life is to have more children.
The poverty surrounding the whole system has also given rise to corresponding generations of fathers who spend their whole lives in and out of jail.
Given all this their only answer is to pour more money into the flushing toilet.

“Democrats right now are trying to add Hispanics to their plantation with immigration reform.”
They’ve already had the majority of the Hispanic vote for a while. Now they’re struggling to keep what they’ve got while using desperate techniques AKA Harry Reid.
“Reform” is a BS word thats just too damn vague.
What we need to hear is “enforcement”.
Thats the one word they’re scared to death of using

The best analogy is the junkie analogy.
The dealer will almost always give a newbee a freebee knowing once he starts jonesing he’ll start paying for it.
In this case…
At the ballot box

Powerful movie. Too bad the left will do all they can to stop Rev. Bryant’s message from being heard.

@ Shannon Bell
Excellent posting, Shannon !
I do hope this movie is seen at the Cathedral Of The Eternally Outstretched Palm.

Shannon,
Your last paragraph NAILED IT! Thank you for your support! We kick into full fundraising mode this week.
Runaway Slave Movie Crew.

Fantastic post / video. Very well said, and sadly he is right about a white person not being able to say those words.
Our welfare system is slavery—the masters do keep you beaten down, they just don’t use whips.
The movie needs to be shown everywhere!
August 14th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
Ok, let me get this straight. Democrats, liberals, progressives promote social programs because they want to keep minorities dependent upon them, financially dependent, so they will vote for them, support them.
Right? I am just trying to learn, here.
So. Let’s say I’m a poor person, a minority member, so I’m getting all this money from Uncle Sam, so therefore I don’t have no motivation to go out and better myself and find a job, ’cause all I want to do is live off the government, right?
Gee. Can you tell what I might have to do to qualify for this? This don’t sound so bad to me. I get up and go to work every day to try to support my family, and just between you and me, even though I am thankful to have a job, it’s not going so good as it used to. I would just JUMP at the chance to live off the government! Yeah! Let’s go!
So where do I sign up for this plush life living off the goverment? I guess that first I should quit my job, because you don’t get all this money from the government if you got a job, right? I’m a WASP, so I guess I better paint my face black. Then I will be unemployed, black, and LOOK OUT BABY! LET ALL THAT GOVERNMENT CASH START ROLLIN’ IN! BUY A NEW CADILLAC AND BE A WELFARE KING! THAT’S GONNA BE THE LIFE FOR ME!
How much will my first check be, and where do go to pick it up?

It will change when AFRICAN-american’s become American’s of African descent. Although, that probably will never happen. At least there will always be the “Golden Ten Percent” in the black community. Maybe they can effect a change eventually.

Shannon
Thanks for a GREAT post!!!
August 14th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
Klo you idiot. The point is that liberal intentions in the last 50 have fcked the black man.
If you’ve all done so much for them then whats there left for you to fight for ?
Liberals keep convincing blacks that they’ve done so much for them. Well, if thats true, why are you a$$holes always having to always stump for them ?

The Drug War was born in racism and continues in racism.
Drug War History
Milton Friedman calls it a socialist enterprise. Price supports for criminals.
The Drug War as a Socialist Enterprise by Milton Friedman
DRUG WAR = BIG GOVERNMENT
As a Republican I hate to say this but the right is the staunchest supporter of that war.
August 14th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
BTW Moses had the same problem with the Jews coming out of Egypt. Yeah the work was hard. But the food was regular. The fleshpots of Egypt.
Do people still sing “Go Down Moses” in black churches? Do they tell the rest of the story?
God wanted his people free. The people? They were not so sure.
August 14th, 2010 at 9:59 pm
OK Another one:
Bought And Paid For
Which is about the buying of the black church by the government in order to continue the destruction of the black community. Here is the gist:
“Is it because they have become employers and employees of the drug war through rehabilitation centers and drug counseling etc.? Is it because they have become gatekeepers where their prosperity depends on not solving the drug problem but perpetuating it?”
I really had no idea that Black ministers were colluding in the destruction of their own people for money. What self delusion it must take to keep “helping”.
=====
This was explained to me by a heavily socialist friend. He gets no traction. I think if blacks on the right busted this one open it would change some things.
It is not only black people on welfare. It is the black church.
August 15th, 2010 at 12:21 am
Today marks the 5th anniversary of the National Black Republicans Association, an organization led by Ms. Frances Rice, that works tirelessly to bring the truth to blacks who are stuck on the government plantation.
I would suggest that everyone go to the NBRA website for a history lesson and recommend the site to your friends of color who are seeking the truth.
August 15th, 2010 at 8:17 am
What idiots you all are. Yeah, liberals and progressives are keeping the black man down with a book of food stamps.
You what to talk history? You don’t mention all those dudes in white sheets who hung black people from trees and dosed them with gasoline and burned down their churches. Were they “liberals,” or “progressives.” I think not. I think not.
If it were not for liberals and progressives, this sort of crap would still be going on today. The equal rights that black people have today were due to the efforts of liberals and progressives, activists who went to the South and actually got murdered, in some cases.
It sure as heck did not come from you, and the evil that the black man has had to deal with in America, from REAL slavery on, has had nothing to do with social programs, which have done just the opposite for him. Your bull crap here is nothing more than thinly disguised racism, and any black person who sides with you is a traitor to his or her race, and humanity in general.
And you, my friends, your real motivation is hate, and you had better go look in a mirror, and then get down on your knees and beg the Lord for salvation.
August 15th, 2010 at 8:37 am
The dudes in the white sheets were democrats.
Democrats continue to surround the poor with programs that barely keep them alive – but disappear entirely if they attempt to stand on their own.
You do the math klo.
August 15th, 2010 at 9:18 am
Chicago, New Orleans, St. Louis, Kansas City, Detroit, and D.C. just to name a few, are cities with large pockets of black poverty, lousy school systems, and annual leaders in violent crime with high murder rates in the black community.
All have been controlled by Democrat mayors and city councils for decades. I know for a fact that the city of Chicago has had a Democrat mayor for over 50 years straight and has not one Republican alderman from any of their 51 wards.
August 15th, 2010 at 9:24 am
Klo, you are so ignorant you shouldn’t even be allowed to post at this site.
It was the Republicans that outlawed the dudes in the white sheets back in the late 1800’s and it was the progressive Democrat Woodrow Wilson who was responsible for their resurgence. The dudes in the white sheets primary mission was to harrass and kill Republicans, both black and white, who tried to register black voters.
Go to the NBRA website I mentioned earlier and learn some history you fruitcake.
August 15th, 2010 at 9:25 am
Klo you’ve bought into the lie that democrats were responsible for initiating the civil rights movement.
You’ve also bought into the lie that those dudes in white hoods were Republicans.
You’ve also bought into the lie that black people “need” the government to survive.
You’ve bought into the lie that if the government doesn’t intervene that blacks in this country will not get a fair shake and will be wiped out.
Basically what you believe is a lie. Period.
August 15th, 2010 at 10:47 am
@ Klo
Even IF everything you said was true, SO WHAT !
The whole Lib ideology is swirling the drain and it will be generations before you people have any say in anything.
Rather than talk about viable solutions all you can come up with is BUSH BUSH BUSH !!!
All it took was for you to put Slim Pud as the Drum Major for your pathetic Parade and the American People are moving right and gagging at the sight of the Left’s Two Groom Wedding Cake.
August 15th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
A little more history is in order. Government got involved in marriage to keep whites and blacks from marrying. Gun control was instituted to keep blacks from arming. Disenfranchising for crimes was a way to keep blacks from voting.
Any one see a pattern here?
I don’t care who is on the wedding cake. And it wouldn’t matter a bit if government wasn’t involved in marriage.
August 15th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
I totally agree with CL Bryant & have felt this way for a long long time. The bondage that minorities are in now if almost as bad as before slavery was abolished because they are blind to it! This message needs to be heard by every african american and hispanic (legal of illegal). These innocent people are being used in the worst way for policitcal gain and are being hoo-dooed to believe these folks have their best interest at heart! If that were so, wouldnt’ they be fairing much better by now & wuold they have to worry about who gets elected that will keep them “entitlted & in bondagea’???
Thank u for ur message. May God help u spread the whole truth! I thank God for you all those who stand up for the truth!
