Nat turner was a hero. Anyone who thinks otherwise is prob a white supremacist. He was a slave who threw away the uncle Tom spirit and defended himself and his people by killing the slave masters...some people actually call him crazy! Calling him crazy is like a spit in the face to the black race! If anyone was enslaved and thier family was also, they would kill the people responsible and also those benefiting from it!

Brother Nat Turner knew the bible and could relate to how the Israelites who were in bondage in Egypt were similar to so-called Negros (who are also Israelites) who are in bondage in a place that is spiritually like Egypt (Amerikkka is like Egypt according to Revelations 11:8). I saw the movies "Tomango" which was made in the 1950s starring Dorothy Dandridge. The slaves led by Tomango had an uprising on the slave ship that they were being transported to Amerikkka on. Please see that movie also.

anyone who owned was not innocent...u must be white...lol

Must make any coward feel powerful killing innocent women and children, black, white, latino, doesnt matter the race. This guy was just as bad bin laden and SOME of slave owners he killed. can you say terrorist?... Nat Turner is no where near the same league as Rev King and Malcolm. They were true revolutionaries!!!

HOLY WARRIOR

[ACLA551C]

In terms of public response and loss of white lives, slaveholders in the Upper South and coastal states were deeply shocked by the Nat Turner Rebellion and fears of repetitions of the Nat Turner Revolt polarized moderates and slave owners across the South. People need to understand that the rebellion was rooted in the exploitative conditions of the Southern slave system. The crimes of the whites against the blacks far outweigh what some would call terrorist or a war crime by Nat Turner.

"What do I do?" OMG...You fight for your freedom like a real man! Nat was ready to beat that cowardly Negro over the head with that stick.

LONG LIVE PROPHET NAT !!!!!!!!!! I ONLY WISHED HE HAD KILLED MORE MURDERING, RAPING, AND ROBBING, BLUE-EYED DEVILS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN CALLED UPON- I WILL BE THE FIRST TO ENLIST IN NAT'S NEW REBELLION !!!!!!!!

[CorDova07x]

You better believe you will never see the Nat Turner movie in the USA INC. theaters. The Powers that be will not allow that. Black need to quit playing these fucked up movie roles Pimp, drug dealer, Hoe, Jail Bird, gangster and bafoon. As long as Black PPL have that slave mentality we will never be free.

@yahisourpower83 Couldn't agree more! Nat was wasting time conversing with Clarence Thomas or Herman Cain's ancestor.
