SunJournal article comments

After the New Bern, Sun Journal article was written recently about Freedom Lost: Restoration there were a few questions and comments by online readers.

These are the three comments:

1) It's a good thing this guy assumes all blacks support Obama. Otherwise this story would just be ridiculous. I think Condi is a much better choice than Obama. Just my two cents...


2) Will this film be in Black and White?


3) Tom: Please remember that New Bern and James City have a VERY RICH HISTORY OF BLACK SLAVE OWNERS. They, I believe owned more slaves than the white owners in the rest of the county. Please look into the published, but not too popular history of the true old south. Although it may not get votes it will inform the masses of the truth of New Bern

I posted this response there:

Sun Journal article on "Freedom Lost: Restoration"

Freedom Lost: Restoration is a feature news series/documentary from The Freedom Lost Project.

This Sunday, the New Bern Sun Journal ran an article on a segment we are doing in the series/film exploring liberal and conservative African Americans and their opinions about voting for or against Barack Obama.

As the article states, we are not taking sides in the debate. While Barack Obama, an African American, was running for president on the Democratic Ticket in the recent North Carolina Primary, we recently discovered Alan Keyes, who is also African American, was also running for President in the same Primary on the Republican ticket. We will be further exploring this for the project.
