If Nat Turner is a terrorist, America WW2 movies are also


If Nat Turner is a terrorist, America is too.

America has bombed countless villages and killed countless innocents under the name of war.

If Nat Turners army in the Southampton Rebellion was a terrorist army, and Nat Turners war was a terrorist war, so was Americas army in the World War 2.

Therefore if Nat Turner movies shouldnt be made, and Nat Turner isnt a hero, neither is America and the legacy that America carried after WW2. By the same account, American WW2 movies should all be boycotted as well. This goes for any movies about the orders of the American government during WW2.

Americas legacy on WW2 should forever be tainted...They were nothing more than murderers and terrorist.


Nat Turner only retaliated as he seen fit. He was a preacher and obviously believed in EYE for an EYE. The white Nazis of America killed his innocent victims, he killed theirs.

More importantly, these women and children may have been a a potential threat to the ultimate goal of freedom, or collateral damage for the greater good. The lesser of the two evils. Killing a few babies and innocents, meant saving thousands more babies and innocents.


Whether he was right or wrong isnt even whats most important. Nobody is perfect and neither was Nat Turner. His army may have made mistakes, but no one can deny that he stood for a something. A greater good. A greater cause.




We can also go further to say modern American government has also bombed Arab nations and innocent villages to smithereens. By the same token, the government for the last few decades have all been terrorists. No more movies about terrorist American armies in any of their terrorist wars.
