Watch Fear Of A Black Republican

FEAR OF A BLACK REPUBLICAN begins with the simple question... Does the Republican Party really want more African Americans? Independent filmmaker Kevin J. Williams takes a non-partisan journey over four years and two Presidential Elections to find out why there are so few Black Republicans and what that means for the future of the Two-Party Political System in America.
From the Civil War to the Great Depression, the GOP was the Party for many African-Americans, but today barely 10% consider themselves Republican and Urban areas are no longer competitive parts of America's Election map. Beginning in his hometown, Williams speaks with BOTH Democrats and Republicans as he takes a personal and humorous look at his own Republican Party's efforts in Urban areas versus the Suburbs, the Democratic Party's success in retaining the African American vote and what this all means for America. The film includes conversations with scholars Professors Cornel West and Howard Taylor; Presidential candidates Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Jim Gilmore and John McCain; political leaders like fmr. Maryland Lt. Governor and RNC Chairman Michael Steele and fmr. Chairman Ken Mehlman; fmr. New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman; Conservative thinkers Newt Gingrich, Grover Norquist and Ann Coulter; Commentators Tavis Smiley and Michelle Malkin; and the first and last Black Republican Senator popularly elected since Reconstruction, former Senator Edward Brooke of Massachusetts. Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Senator and President-Elect Barack Obama, President George W. Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney also appear. The film also examines the History of the Republican Party and includes rarely seen archival footage of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., Vice-President Richard M. Nixon and Jackie Robinson.

FEAR OF A BLACK REPUBLICAN gives audiences of all demographics and political persuasions a ground-breaking and moving view of American Politics unlike any they have ever s
