white people obviously never heard of nat turner before this. that's why they keep crying about white folks getting killed.

everyone else knew his story though....*shrug*

sidenote. why is no one upset about white dudes getting killed? hmmm.

Actually I have heard of Nat Turner before. However, I doubt that most Americans, regardless of color, have heard of him. Most Americans don't seem to learn from history.

white people heard of him before, we just don't care about punks.


zero white people on this board ever heard of nat turner, including you. if you had, you wouldn't be making such a big deal over this movie.

Ha! It's like some people getting shocked that the Greeks studied in Khemet. So much history not being taught. The info is out there though.

reply

Please, tell me more- What is Khemet?

Wow, thanks for nothing.

I am at work and cannot, and you could have at least given me some sort of idea. Would have taken just as little time, but you opted to be rude.

SJW's are pussies and morons. They're zealots and radicals. They all deserve to die.


Do you not know, or just not care that a person's posting history can be readily seen???






No man lies so boldly as the man who is indignant.

reply

Are you referring to me?

I am well aware, if so. I stand by said comments.

SJW's are zealots and radicals, racists, and anarchists. The world would be better if they died off.

you know they don't teach about nat turner in schools, otherwise the white people on this board wouldn't be repeating the factoid about people getting killed in the the uprising. yeah, people got killed. yeah, women. yeah, children. yeah, men. white folk. and? it was a rebellion. not a bingo game with grandma.

i guess "collateral damage" only counts when brown people get caught in the crossfire of US interventions.

"...white people obviously never heard of nat turner before this."

I've known about Nat Turner for decades but -no doubt- a lot of people in this dumbed-down culture have never heard of him. This movie will make them curious to know more. And they will be quite surprised to find out that he murdered over 40 women and children - something not shown in the movie. People don't like being deceived and manipulated.

His name came up in grade school once. Even back then as he's known now he was just some irate slave void of cognitive thought that decided to kill innocent people and children rather than strictly just those who owned slaves, cause what better way to hurt your cause historically? Eventually is found by a farmer, tried and hanged. Overall his actions got many slaves killed and got several states to pass new laws for not only owned slaves but freemen as well further restricting their lives, even got one freeman killed by association. Lol good job.


A real douche that one.
