Last Thursday evening a friend and I went to see Runaway Slave here in the suburbs of St. Louis.  We were both so excited to finally see the movie after hearing so much about it online and on conservative media outlets.

The movie was excellent.  Runaway Slave is actually a documentary chronicling the travels of Reverend C.L. Bryant’s journey from limited Liberal thought to the freedom of Conservative ideals.  He actually worked pretty high up with the Democrats and NAACP in his state before discovering that his place was to take orders, not lead.

There are moments in the movie where I was filled with a deep sense of sadness at the plight of Black America and the massive swindling that the left has and continues to perpetuate on us.  To see people that genuinely believe with their entire being that they are still chained, shackled and not free; to see people with so much anger in their hearts toward our great country that they are crippled and unable to succeed, was truly chilling.

Yet I left the movie motivated to do more, speak more, share more, and educate more, not because of my sadness, but because of the greatness on display in the minds of the conservative people that spoke during the film.  I left that theater inspired by the depth of knowledge of those black conservatives; inspired to read more and learn more myself.

I want to thank C.L. Bryant from the depths of my heart for undertaking the journey that brought us Runaway Slave.  Go see the film and take a carload of friends.  It’s imperative that we not waste this gift given to us by a man on a journey; a trip that I join him on… the path off the Liberal Plantation of group think and out into a world that rewards excellence, creativity and exceptionalism.

“If we are relying on someone else for our well being, that in itself is a form of slavery.” – Reverend C.L. Bryant
