If the South wants to celebrate the Civil War, then we need our Nat Turner statues.

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

Lets get some Nat Turner statues popping in every city, Toussaint L'Overture Elementary schools, Denmark Vesey Boulevards, and Stono parks. They celebrating their shyt, lets celebrate people who actually stand for something.

@JudgeJoeGorilla you actually from VA, and you be looking for things to support, it would be cool to see us as a people unite to build more monuments for our people.

Thats my history and I am proud of it. He fought for the freedom of our people.

I don't understand your problem with talking about reverencing our past heroes
Pretty obvious I can't build them by myself
Even I did have the money, it would need public support
Just had a thought and honestly I want it to take off. I want to see how other black folks feel about it.

But since you on some nihilistic shyt, realize it took no effort to make this thread, and I see through your loaded comment. Basically saying come on with it. You sounding real white right now, especially with your derailments. Respond to this post and show me more of your cacness

The only statues Black people get are of athletes in front of arenas. What steps are you taking to ensure that those historic figures you mentioned receives their proper acknowledgement in the form of statues, OP?

Exactly. Because talking about it on the coli doesnt do anything. Gotta take it outside of the coli. But I'm convinced most on this site get off on talking about it and not being about it. Hence the way OP responded to my initial post. Dude said I was derailing the thread by saying it has to be taken past a thread.

I'm with you OP...the problem with a Nat Turner statue is that no one knows exactly what he looked like. The only description of him is that he was a negro looking mulatto (think of Obama or Leni Kravitz). I did meet his relative Alvin Turner who is said to look very similar to how Nat looked.

Well for one I'm keeping the legacies up by teaching about them and arming future black leaders with knowledge of self and their history. And if I ever did get involved politically, this would be one of my platforms.

I'm pretty sure his description stated that he was yellowish in complexion, but fully negro, not mulatto.

It's part of the reason some people theorize that he was, or was at least of very recent Igbo descent.
