Free At Last? New Documentary, Runaway Slave, Shows How Liberal Agenda Continues To Enslave Black America

Written on Tuesday, January 10, 2012 by Ann-Marie Murrell

LA Premiere of Runaway Slave on MLK weekend offers a revealing look inside the new Underground Railroad and the fight to free black America from economic slavery.

The premiere of the brilliant documentary Runaway Slave takes place this Friday, January 13 at the Landmark Regent Theater in Los Angeles. Tickets for this event are FREE but seating is extremely limited and will sell out very quickly so go to brownpapertickets.com to reserve your tickets now.

The documentary is an extraordinary look at the unique struggles Conservative blacks have in America and features interviews with some of the greatest minds of our generation.

The producers purposely chose to launch Runaway Slave on Martin Luther King Jr. weekend to help answer the question, “Have blacks in America achieved the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and become truly ‘Free at Last?’” Runaway Slave exposes the economic slavery of the black community to the ‘progressive,’ big-government policies of the Left.

According to pastor and former NAACP Chapter President C.L. Bryant, there is a “new underground railroad” through which African Americans are finding freedom from an ingrained cultural acceptance of entitlements and big government.

“There is a 50-year-old lie that has caused an entire people to become slaves to the political idea that government knows what is best.” Rev. Bryant said. “Runaway Slave will empower black Americans to free themselves from generations of enslavement to a tyrannical economic system.”

The film features interviews from prominent black conservatives including Herman Cain and Thomas Sowell, as well as activists from all over the country. It is sure to spark an honest political discussion unlike anything the U.S. has seen in 50 years. Cain says in the film, “The increasing size and scope of the federal government is the new plantation.”

Rev. Bryant has teamed up with critically-acclaimed Producer Luke Livingston and Director Pritchett Cotten for the making of Runaway Slave. Livingston featured a powerful Tea Party speech by Bryant to provide the inspiraitonal close his 2009 film Tea Party: The Documentary. Filming and editing for Runaway Slave took a little over a year start to finish. Shooting took place in many major cities across America, including Israel.

“We are incredibly excited to be a part of this project,” said Matt Kibbe, president of FreedomWorks. The national grassroots organization is helping support this important film.

“Runaway Slave is a film for all Americans. If you love your country, if you love the ideas that this country was founded on, then you should see this movie.”

Patriot Update and PolitiChick’s Ann-Marie Murrell will cover the red carpet at the Los Angeles screening, interviewing stars of the film including Herman Cain and many Hollywood celebrities.

The film will be shown in select theatres nationwide following the upcoming premiere at the soon to be announced first ever American Black Conservative Conference in Washington DC.

Of course the Democrap Party is purposefully enslaving the black community to their liberal government. The hispanic community, too. We all know that. It’s how they buy votes. Let’s pray that our black and brown brothers and sisters wake-up to see they are being used to expand the influence of the Democraps.

Isn’t it ironic that a REPUBLICAN freed the slaves! Isn’t it ironic that after all the years of slavishly supporting the democrats the same people are still poor? If the socialists take over they will soon use up/eat up all our resources and EVERYBODY WILL THEN BE HUNGRY!

Hi, and “God Bless You” Floyd!!! “THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH” for posting your very “invaluable” comments here for everyone to see!!! It is, by far, the “BEST” comments/essay I have seen yet, regarding how “EVIL” and “CORRUPT” President Obama really is!!! Every American citizen should see and read your “MASTERPIECE” of work that you posted here on this site!!! We have to alert all “Americans” that President Obama is nothing more than an “evil” asinine treasonous “Marxist/Communist” Tyrant who is bent on destroying and fundamentally transforming our great nation (U.S.A.) into a Third-World “Marxist” Police State!!! Obama won’t rest until he destroys and eradicates, for-good, our beloved Republic and our nation, our Democracy, our U.S. Constitution, our freedom/liberties, our “Judeo-Christian” principles and our American way-of-life…. As someone else, who made a very “IMPORTANT” comment here on this very same site, said — Barack Obama is a “Domestic-Terrorist” who was reportedly placed in the White House, and in the Office of the President of the United States — and that this very “evil & heinous” crime calls for nothing short of an “Act of War!!!” Thanks again for your very well-documented comments and list of grievances!!! Everyone should take serious and careful heed of the “valuable” information you posted here tonight… As you “very” well stated, please continue to post your “REMARKABLE” comments throughout the “Internet” until the 2012 Presidential Election in November of this year (2012)…..!!! Keep up the “GREAT” job that you do to help protect and preserve our beloved Republic, our nation (U.S.A.), our Democracy, our freedom/liberties, our “Judeo-Christian” Principles and our American way of life!!! You “truly” are an All-American “Patriot” my friend… Lets hope & pray that the “Marxist” satanic-monster of Barack Obama will be defeated and dethroned from Office (The “White House”)in November of 2012′s Presidential Election…. for the salvation and preservation of the “United States of America!!!” God Bless America, and God speed Floyd….!!!

Kandileigh

Well said. some of these even i did not know lol. but dont forget to add his 3 male lovers in his church, two of which were murdered execution style during his presidential campaign to silence them. the other i heard died of aids. his many adulterous affairs with men over the years. the 2 men who sued him for sexual harasment at harvard law and got settlements while another man said he had been harassed but did not file a suit. his affair with an older white republican politician. his affairs with male actors and strangers. his paying over $100,000(tax payer money) right now to keep male lovers on staff as his “body men”. the 1st had to leave because of all the rumors and the 2nd one is supposed to be leaving but nor sure if he did or not. he needs these men to “wake him up in the mornings” really? where is michelle? does she sleep in another room? he is the president. if he cant even wake himself up on his own he sure as heck cant run the USA. millions he paid to have all of his records sealed. from birth to college to work to medical.
daves

President Obama did not give money to Brazil for oil drilling. The U.S. import export bank loaned them money – and it did not come from tax payers.

Republicans introduced the indefinite detention provision into the national defense authorization act.

President Obama did not lie about his social security number.

I could probably go through your entire list and prove them all to be lies.

Floyd

I didn’t write this one, but I wish I had.
REMEMBER JANUARY 3, 2007
The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.
The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995 For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is “Bush’s Fault”, think about this:
January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush’s Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!
By the way GWB had Nothing to do with the GM bailout MR. Obama did all of that not GW!!!!!!!!!
Remember that day…
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
THANK YOU DEMOCRATS (especially Barney ) for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment…to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
(BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 times to stop Fannie & Freddie – starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy). Barney blocked it and called it a “Chicken Little Philosophy” (and the sky did fall!)
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?
OBAMA and the Democrat Congress, especially BARNEY!!!!
So when someone tries to blame Bush…
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007….THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!”
Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal and steering wheel they were driving the economy into the ditch. Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party.
Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.
In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budget.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. Let’s remember what the deficits looked like during that period:
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is “I inherited a deficit that I voted for, And then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.”
There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!
“The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.”
That my friends constitutes socialism…a welfare state

Daves the only thing you can and have proven is what a moronic left wing idiot you are. obama borrowed the money for Brazil from China and YES, WE THE PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEBT. How any human being can support obama is incredulous, may God have mercy on your miserable soul, for I and others don’t.
Lee

But, Daves, you have thus far proven nothing. Offer up up some proof, please.

Well, Daves, we’re waiting.

Right on. The list is probably even longer.

Hi!! God Bless you for telling the “GOSPEL” truth, about the “Democratic Party” enslaving Black Americans since the end of the American Civil War!!! “KUDOS” for your very brave & bold remarks…

Progressives keeping minorities in their place since 1865.

Great piece Ann-Marie. Can’t wait.

Liberals will scream that the film is racist and that the blacks in the film are “Uncle Toms.” Too many of AMerica’s young people think that the govt. is the solution to all our country’s problems.

BUD

OK SHANE, SO TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF, TO HELP EDUCATE THOSE AMERICAN YOUNG PEOPLE THAT YOU SPEAK OF.
Mario

Hi Shane!! How right you are for your convictions and your brave & bold remarks!!! You spoke the “Gospel” truth my friend… God Bless you…

Freedom is the absence of government control; which is another word for slavery. It just is institutionalized by the government.

Mario

Hi!!! I “LOVE” your bold & truthful remarks!!! I couldn’t have said it any better… You hit the nail right on its head, for making such powerful — but, very truthful statements…!!! “Kudos” for your bold remarks, and God Bless you….

tod

demon-rats have been enslaving the Black Man from the very beginning,to bad they aren’t energetic enough to take the time to find out !!! Dr.Ron Paul 2012 for the ONLY PROVEN HONEST(for Well Over 30 Years) Patriot running for President,PERIOD !!!
PAWatcher

Sounds like a documentary that should be seen by all. Education leads to understanding.

donwan

WHY??????

Sally

Do you really need to ask??

tomm

I find that very few people really know the
history of slavery in this “great” cfountry.
And as far as that is concerned, they don’t
know very much about the history of man.

Ron

You mean like how blacks in Africa who wouldn’t convert to Islam were enslaved by Muslims, NOT the white man? And how white slave traders BOUGHT the slaves from Muslims and brought them to America?

As documented in the movie The Naked Truth.
Penny

Unfortuneatly, THE PROGRESSIVE movement since the beginning of the century has been redacting and revising history to their agenda. Go to http://www.agendadocumentary.com watch this wonderful film trailer. They have changed our history to disrespect our founders and uphold socialists, liberals, progressives which are ultimately COMMUNISTS.

Eddie B

To me there will never black or white….but there will always be IGNORANCE!
wayne

You mean they are just recognizing the Democratic Liberals are the Slave-Masters? I “thought” that was common knowledge.
I always wondered WHY the people that ware held down THE MOST voted for those Holding Then Down.
It is not only black, but a lot of poor white as well as any other people that is in america (small “A” now) that the Liberals are making SLAVES of people. They convince them to vote for them, make promises they never keep or even plan to keep ((can you say obama), then they manipulate numbers to make it “look like” they have done something, when in fact it is only a number game. This election obama will once again tell us “what we want to hear”, but if he did not keep his last set of promises, why would ANYONE believe he would keep the new set of promises?
I have worked with MANY blacks that complain (in their words) “The man is keeping them down”, these are black men and women from 17 years old to over 70 years old, so, WHY do they keep voting for the very party (democratic) that is keeping them down?
They always, for the most part vote democrat and nothing has changed, except things keep getting worse for you. Why not try something different for a while? Even with a black democrat president, things have got worse.
IMO, the BEST way to go would be independent, however, the big political parties have all the money and as proven, the little guy does not stand a chance. How about next time, let’s stand behind an independent and see how it goes. We KNOW the 2 big political parties are not good for us regular guy’s. Liberals are out for themselves and want to take ALL your rights away, literally making you a SLAVE to the state. We “need” conservatives, but conservative in action, not words only, however, whenever we get one that is running for president, the 2 parties get together and MAKE SURE he/she can not win, such as Herman Cain and many more, they do not stand a chance as they spend all their campaign funds having to defend themselves instead of campaigning.
FACT- You KNOW what we are doing is not working
Thought- Try something different to see if it makes a difference.
FACT- The ONLY people that have benefited from obama is big government and big business.
Thought- Try someone else this year.

This movie will open the eyes of allot of the black comunnity,the problem I see,is getting them to the theatre to watch it.And to get the liberal leaning movie theatre’s to show it,That is what happen to Sarah Palins movie,they wouldn’t show it because it was conservative.C.L.Bryant would do himself a big favor to get it on pay-preview on TV.

I really don’t see where people are so racist in this country. What I do see is people always willing to help each other in a crisis. I am talking the average person, not the lowlifes and bums. Most of the racism I see comes from people like Al Sharpton and Reverand Wright who keep other black people down by always telling them that they are oppressed. Any person, white or black, has to get some education or training in some kind of career and they also have to learn how to present themselves. If you look crazy then you will not get a job! If you are lazy and untrustworthy then you will commit yourself to poverty. Everyone has a chance in America if they do the right things. The dems have held the minority groups hostage for many years and I do believe that the minorities are brainwashed by the dems. If a person has an attitude of “how can I better things for myself and others?”, then they will find peace and contentment.

Can’t wait to get the opportunity to see this film. Bet one thing though…the liberals will find a way to keep it out of schools…………….
