Diamond and Silk are exposing the hypocrisy of the left in their upcoming film “Dummycrats,” but not everyone is excited for the October 15 debut.
The Trump-supporting sisters from North Carolina took to Facebook this week to update their millions of followers about the movie, and to sound off over efforts by some theaters to block screenings in the nation’s capital.
“Hey ya’ll, so apparently some theaters up in D.C. is discriminating against Diamond and Silk and our new movie that we’re being featured in called ‘Dummycrats,’” said Diamond, also known as Lynette Hardaway.
“But you got that old sloppy, slimy Michael Moore and his movie all over the place. Here he is indoctrinating people with his conspiracy theories by disparaging our president, spewing allegations and innuendos and trying to make his opinion appear as if it’s true.”
Moore’s so-called “political documentary” takes direct aim at the Trump White House, painting the presidency as an unintended accident fueled by the real estate mogul’s enormous ego. So far, the film has been a box office flop, generating an embarrassing $3.1 million when it opened in 1,719 venues last month – a far cry from the $23 million launch of Moore’s best-selling documentary, “Fahrenheit 11/9.”
“When ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’ came out, Michael Moore led the discussion,” David Bock, analyst with Exhibitor Relations, told Variety. “With ‘Fahrenheit 11/9,’ he is merely echoing it. That’s a big difference.”
While Moore’s anti-Trump screed flopped despite a very wide distribution, theaters have been much less accommodating for “Dummycrats,” particularly in the swamp.
And the double-standard isn’t sitting well with Diamond and Silk.
“See, we are not beholden to Hollywood. You will never see us sitting on no Harvey Weinstein casting couch,” Diamond said. “But that still doesn’t give you the right to discriminate against us, two black women, and the movie that we’re being featured in called ‘Dummycrats.’”
“So what’s up? Are we that much of a threat because we’re telling the nasty, low-down, gutter-ridden truth? Is it because we don’t fit your narrative? Is that the reason why you don’t want our movie showing?” Diamond questioned.
“Is it?” added Silk, whose real name is Rochelle Richardson.
“It got back to us that we wasn’t the right type of black,” Diamond continued. “Well, how black do you want us to be? Kunta Kinte black? We will not be silenced.
“When one door closes, one big window will open and no man will be able to shut it!”
“No man!” Silk echoed.
“So stop discriminating against us because we’re two black women who love this country and support our president,” Diamond said. “It’s time to take a stand against this hypocrisy on the left.”
Diamond and Silk shot to fame during the 2016 election for their animated and vocal support of Donald Trump and criticism against the Democratic party, which they’ve dubbed the Democratic Plantation.
The duo repeatedly highlight how Trump’s policies boost opportunities for black Americans and have led to the lowest black unemployment rate in the history of government record-keeping.
More recently, the North Carolina sisters have spoken out against censorship of conservatives online, where YouTube demonetized their videos and Facebook banned them as a “danger” to the community, though the latter eventually reversed the decision.
Their advocacy convinced members of Congress over the summer to press Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg about censoring conservatives, many specifically citing Diamond and Silk. The ladies later followed up with their own testimony on Capitol Hill, where they also called out Democrats who attempted to downplay the issue.
Diamond and Silk take a deeper look at some of those same hypocritical Democrats in the new movie, and they’re using same no-nonsense approach that’s earned them the respect of countless other black conservatives across the country.
“Go to Dummycratsthemovie.com and get your tickets,” Diamond said.
“Today,” Silk added.
“We want Hollywood to know there’s two new sheriffs in town, and we’re putting you on notice,” Diamond said.
Here’s the trailer for “Dummycrats”:
