A Viewer Writes: RISE UP: THE LEGACY OF NAT TURNER

Joe, I came across this story about Nat Turner who you may have heard of. He is an escaped slave who recruited a group of other escaped slaves who went on a murder spree slaughtering white Virginians until he was caught. I am very surprised the National Geographic Channel is showing this and calling him a patriot and endorsing memorializing him and building monuments in his honor. They have several key players in this show and they are very racist and using the N word the way they do with an ending in "a" and not "er." It's a very scary time for America when they start allowing violence and black power and honoring people who slaughtered white Americans. This show is just like the new "Birth of a Nation" and they are rewriting History in order to justify attacks on white people. I've included the first paragraph and the URL. It was hosted by the same person, Roger Guenveur Smith who did Birth of a Nation so you know it's the same. M.O. In 1831, Nat Turner began what would turn out to be the deadliest slave rebellion in American history. Over the course of 48 hours, Turner and a group of rebel slaves killed more than 50 white men, women and children in South Hampton, Virginia.

RISE UP: THE LEGACY OF NAT TURNER

For the First Time Ever, the Possible Grave Site of Nat Turner and Rebels Is Revealed

Hosted by Roger Guenveur Smith (“The Birth of a Nation”), Hourlong Documentary Premieres Friday, Oct. 7 at 10/9c on National Geographic Channel

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In 1831, Nat Turner, an African-American slave and preacher, led a bloody slave revolt in Southampton County, Virginia. Turner is most remembered as a killer, rather than a freedom fighter driven by faith, but in RISE UP: THE LEGACY OF NAT TURNER, viewers will get a different perspective into his notorious legacy that extends beyond this rebellion. From executive producer Nate Parker, the one-hour documentary premieres on Friday, Oct. 7, at 10/9c on National Geographic Channel, coinciding with the Fox Searchlight Pictures theatrical release of critically acclaimed Sundance Jury and Audience Awards winner “The Birth of a Nation,” which is directed by Parker and is the dramatic story of this historic liberation movement.

I am not sure whether to laugh or cry by the authors comments;
"when they start allowing violence and black power and honoring people who slaughtered white Americans"

But we honor white americans that killed native americans, he even has a holiday and thats ok? Black Power? They have no power because they are busy killing each other off. Violence? Do you have a point?

Maybe its time that people see the truth and not this BS brainwashing and re-writing history that we were indoctrinated with in high school. Have you not taken a moment in your life to be disgusted at the BS you were taught vs what really went on?

I saw the ridiculous BLM protests, not the MSM fed BS you watched and were brainwashed with. I saw the ridiculous, unorganized, meaningless crap they claimed to be a protest.

Grow a pair and allow the truth to come out. Black are gonna do what they are gonna do. Are you that stupid to not realize it. The knock out game? Gang rapes, murders, drugs, welfare. They don't call it the ghetto for nothing.

I am tired of living a life of lies. So one man revolted. Good for him. It was probably about time.

Why are they not doing a story on the true first slaves? White Irish? Oh, sorry is that too much truth and history for you?

History is always written by the victor. The lesson to take from this is....be victorious. The next civil war is right around the corner. We cannot let the liberals win.

You can't be serious?? You are obviously an uneducated moron with a soft heart for black thugs!

"Grow a pair and allow the truth to come out." - that is one ignorant comment. Grow a pair of what and for what? Let what truth come out? That idiots like you want to put up a memorial for a black murdering thug who killed innocent women and children? You think that is Ok? Well guess what it isn't. You coward.

I don't know what 11:38 AM is talking about, but apparently, he doesn't know history as much as he thought he did. He would have been better off keeping his mouth shut.

You are correct and may God be with us and we are victorious. We need to clean this country up and get rid of all illegal aliens, Muslims, and soft-hearted liberal. Liberals have ruined this country the last 200 years.
