This may not be safe for work, but it may open your eyes to some issues that need to be addressed in the 2020 election and may make some look at the political process in this country.
Seven Georgia strippers released an important message for this election season “Get Your Booty to the Poll” is a project started with two Atlanta-based filmmakers, Paul Fox and Angela Gomes.
They organized a GoFundMe in July called “Angela and Paul want Black people to vote.” They promised to those who donated to use the money to shoot and distribute a public service announcement featuring dancers from some of Atlanta’s finest gentlemen clubs.
Angela Gomes, director of the controversial video spoke with Roland Martin during Monday’s edition of #RMU about the polarizing political advertising and the uproar over it.

My issue isn’t the strippers, my issue is how this sends a message that this is the kind of thing that needs to be done to reach black people and get them to vote, you can say all you want this is only for a certain group of people but the collective whole isn’t gonna see it that way, their gonna see it as black people ain’t gonna vote unless you show them something like this cause only sexual things will motivate them to do anything like voting, Im sure it’ll work in getting some people to vote which is a never a bad thing but what kind of message does it send to the general public about black people when it comes to what motivates us to take action when it comes to things that actually matter
All those two woman judging know they wrong for judging
She needs to stop hiding this ignorance behind Black Lives Matter.
Her next PSA will be dope boys on the block telling us to vote. And if you question her she’ll dive behind Black Lives Matter.
What is the big deal I don’t see to many Christians pushing the votes so now let’s try it another way and we may not agree on what they came up with but like song said this is America free will free speech stop saying this degrades black people I don care how they get the message out what’s the difference Ivanka is the biggest thots lot all so stop judging and speaking for all black people cause this is the one time everybody voice matters I may not agree with how they make their living but God has the last say so y’all not God
The commercial is awful on many levels but much respect to the lady for standing up and making a good argument for it. Glad to see it wasn’t White Liberals pandering. Biden playing ‘Despacito’ was just ridiculous.
I see Avis’ point but all you gotta do is google:
– maga bikini
– confederate flag bikini
– Trump bikini
…you’ll see white women “exposing their bodies” and expressing their politics.
The way I see it most politicians frequent strippers and escorts services. Do anybody remember that scandal with a Madam in Washington who had very prominent clients particularly Senators congressmen and others. So if it’s good enough for Washington let it be good enough for potential voters. Why don’t they do a segment about that.
This commercial Is Stupid like why why why man
Didn’t a bunch of white celebrities do a whole i would rather go naked than wear fur campaign for peta.
The panel must be boule.
Also isn’t one of those chicks white?
While I’m quick to worry about the exploitation of black women. I personally liked this ad and thought it was hilarious and poignant. And it was less sexual than most would expect. That other woman is lying. White women are also scantily clad in ads like the freaking Carl’s Jr ad.
This shit was hella disrespectful.
Now that’s what I’m talking about!!!!!!!!
Get the vote out by any means necessary
That’s how Republican’s think….once they latch onto an idea they never let go even when proven wrong.
I used to live in Atlanta so I get it. I think it was a unique way to get strip club patrons to vote.
This is so insulting and unnecessary. Between this and the WAP song….smh. What is really happening to us as a people? We are better than this. We used to be a regal people with class and high moral standards.
Hey, I’m not mad at them. I’d be motivated to vote! Great message.
*GREAT COMMENTARY & POINTS OF VIEW!*
I love the video and Im thankful those women choose an avenue that may not have been tapped. This now helps encourage more people to vote.
We’re really living in the real-life Boondocks right now!
Thanks for sharing this RMU…MsAngela, you did a GREAT thing Sis! Keep up the good work!!!! Grandmother of 3 young men under the age of 30.

That’s some nasty shit
Keep the same energy when your daughter is clapping her cheeks. You are a piece of shit dad if you cool with that.
People take themselves too seriously. Who are you to tell someone how to use their bodies. A body is a beautiful thing. Look at them if you want, pass by if you don’t.
I mean……would you show this ad in church? At home? I see making a large tent like Corp dems like to say, but I hope it works.
Listen and I want you to hear me playing and simple this was probably one of the most eye-catching amazing get out there and vote commercial that I have ever seen. It targets people and encourage people to go vote especially our people and what better way to do it? I thought it was brilliant and I’m a female cuz it made me stop and watch. Whoever produced this you go girl I would have never thought about that or having a commercial like that okay do your thing. Big ups to you.
Disrespectful to black people…no other race would do this….if so show me
She act like she was appalled to see a black woman’s bottom but it’s an asset that other races desire! The ad was meant for who its meant for and if it’s not meant for you then keep it moving. period.
Free lottery tickets beer and cigarettes you couldn’t keep these people from showing up
Give them free Obama phones they will come out by the millions
I wanna vote for them damn!!$#@@$$!%
Seriously? Why does a stripper give a shyt about voting. She is trying to do what it is she do. STOP ALREADY. Where are the white strippers?
