Around 200 people gathered in a D.C. theater last night to watch the Washington premiere of Runaway Slave, a documentary by African-American Tea Party activist Rev. C. L. Bryant that encourages the black community to rethink its 95 percent voting rate for the Democratic Party.
Drawing on the history and language of slavery, the film argues that the Democratic Party and the welfare state are the new version of the slave-holding plantation, keeping black people mentally enslaved.
In the opening of the documentary, Bryant visits dueling Washington, D.C., rallies. At the Lincoln Memorial, Glenn Beck leads the “Restoring Honor” rally while the Rev. Al Sharpton leads the “Reclaim the Dream” rally in an African-American section of the city.
“Why aren’t these Americans with the others?” Bryant asks. “Why are we divided along racial lines?”
He then sets out to talk to black conservative leaders and everyday African-Americans on the street. He interviews high-profile black conservatives such as Hoover Institute scholar Thomas Sowell, onetime presidential candidate Herman Cain, U.S. Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) and pundit Star Parker.

Until blacks realize they can think and make their own decisions, they will be enslaved by dems. The dems want people dependant on the government. I guess it gives them something to feel good about…Look at us, we’re helping all these poor unfortunate folks that are too lazy to go out and look for a job.
it is the easy way once you’ve been propagandized to a point where you think you’re reality is a down trodden position in life in which you need affirmative action and all the help the fed. gvt can give bkz you just can’t do it on your own and bkz of being poor black uneducated….breaking the cycle has to start with personal responsibilty . If rules can’t be mandated that one, No welfare to children having babies,,,this way a mom of a 15 yr old will smack that girl up side the head if she’s hanging out and having opportunity to get pregnant if she (the mom of the 15 yr old) will be stuck with another mouth to feed on what she currently has for income be it a job or welfare. Second mandate for any help they’re receiving is children must stay in school, they must learn they must pass and not be passed through just for the sake of handing out a High School Diploma and not being able to do 5th grade math. This would be a good start. and although lots of folks don’t want to hear this, having the father of a baby married to the mom is extremely important. the poorest people in America are unwed moms….big brother will never give people a feeling of self respect and worth, so how can a person be happy? and this notion that everyone needs to have a college degree is sad, there are shortages in the trades like plummers, electricians etc…these are great paying jobs, just go hire one and see their rates.. sad just sad what the socialist agenda is getting away with…
