  • We'll be holding our West Coast Premiere at Portland State University this Thursday night, November 17th at the Smith Center at 6:30 PM. If in the area, please join us or forward this information to those who might be interested. Best to All. info is at fearofablackrepublican com. Thanks.

  • Old White Republicans don't want black republicans because of the fear the old lady had at the end. The Democrats will do everything to keep the blacks in their pocket, but never enough to enhance their social mobility because the wealthier one gets, the more likely they move toward the Republican Party. I for one believe the GOP should have a massive all out grassroots campaign in urban areas, just to prove White Republicans aren't afraid to go into black communities to help them.

  • @TheFederalistVoice Not sure what you mean by your first sentence, but we would sure like to see what you wrote in your last sentence actually happen. There are lots of opportunities in urban areas for the Republican Party. It won't happen in 1 election, but 2,3,4... and there you go. No more one-party rule. Thanks for checking out our trailer. Hope you see our film at some point. : )

  • @FOABRAdministrator The point of the first sentence is the unfortunate reality that some Republicans, generally the elder white folk have a fear (imo) that if blacks join the GOP, they'll be displaced. It's just the human psyche. I truly believe the GOP should devout a lot of resources in urban campaigns, even if it only produces 20-25% of the vote. Just as you said, start now, and in 20 years the GOP has made the urban centers competitive again, if not winnable for the Republicans.

  • @TheFederalistVoice Okay, gotcha. Actually, she was referring to the GOP kicking her and others out of the Party for being so honest and criticizing their efforts in urban areas and in particular, their lack of support and resources for African American candidates. But given that is a short line in the trailer, it could be seen as meaning something else. Thanks for alerting us to that. : ) If you live near Buffalo or Rochester NY, Central NJ or Portland OR, please come see our film. Thanks.

  • Where can I view this video? Is it on netflix?

  • @MBT1981 Sorry, just realized that we didn't answer your original question. We aren't on Netflix yet as it is not profitable for a film like ours to be there. Netflix only buys a small number of copies and the indie filmmaker who does this severely limits their possibility of ever making their money back. We'll likely do Netflix much further down the line after we've paid all the bills (we self-produced our film as no producer we met would finance it, as it is non-partisan). Thanks for asking.

  • @MiloDC "And just what is a black man who continually votes Democrat even though the Democrat Party hasn't kept any of it's promises to him? Repeating the same thing and expecting different results is a sign of insanity

  • @jonb1906 "And just what is a black man who continually votes Democrat even though the Democrat Party hasn't kept any of it's promises to him? Blind allegiance to the Democrats is foolish and quite dangerous."

    TRUTH.

  • This film becomes even more relevant now Herman Cain in the race for th erepublican nomination. Specially w/ his comment on being black and republican. Very proud that was made by a western new yorker! The bests of lucks!

  • @MBT1981 You can only buy it from our website fearofablackrepublican com. We will send you a FREE copy of our cool movie poster with your purchase.
