- From the liner notes--
read by Brock Peters with Martin Donegan as T. R. Gray
The reading of, "The Confessions of Nat Turner" by the distinguished actor, Brock Peters, represents the first attempt to make Turner, leader of the most massive slave revolt ever to occur in America, known to a large popular audience. A widely circulated novel, recently awarded a Pulitzer prize, was the cause for a number of scholars and critics,
black and white, to re-examine the life of Nat Turner and its meaning for today.
The most scholarly book on Turner is Herbert Aptheker's "Nat Turner's Slave Rebellion," (1966). Aptheker reveals that Nat Turner was a "highly intelligent man" of profound religious sentiment who in the struggle for freedom, led a slave revolt in Virginia in 1831 that accelerated - if not initiated - additional and harsher forms of pro-slavery legislation. The basic historical ddcument relating to the
Nat Turner revolt is, "The Confessions of Nat Turner" by Thomas R. Gray, published in Baltimore in 1831. This document was prepared by
a white man, Gray, who was not partial to the cause Nat Turner and his fellow slaves were fighting for. But for all of its limitations, The
Gray Confessions remains the primary source of information on the most famous slave revolt ever to occur in the United States.
The intention of this record is to let Nat Turner speak for himself to the extent that his real views are reflected in his confessions made to Thomas Gray. Gray was the recorder at Nat Turner's interrogation and acted as an officer of the court at his trial. His pamphlet on
the Southhampton, Va., slave uprising is the most authoritative document available. It contains the only biographical record of Nat's life that we have and purports to be an "authentic account" of the revolt. The Nat Turner revolt cannot be understood out of context with the atmosphere of revolt that prevailed throughout the first half of the-nineteenth century. There were hundreds of uprisings and conspiracies preceding the Southhampton, Virginia, uprising led by Nat Turner. The largest of these was the Denmark Vesey conspiracy in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1822. The presentation of The Confessions of Nat Turner on this record is one of the efforts now being made to give the life of Nat Turner an interpretation worthy of his sacrifice.
-John Henrik Clarke
PRODUCER'S STATEMENT
In deciding to undertake this recording CMS Records, Inc. endeavored to depict Nat Turner as accurately as possible in light of whatever generally accepted fact exists surrounding the rebellion led by this Afro-American leader. Since the only accurate record of Turner's thoughts, statements and history is THE CONFESSION OF NAT TURNER, as given to Thomas R. Gray, and acknowledged by Turner at his trial, the producers felt that this document should be employed. However the reading of this document, in itself, leaves much to be desired in terms of contemporary English wording and for listening ease. It also must be noted that this confession is precisely that -
a legal document! In addition, history, or the thought of Nat Turner, has been handed down to us through the thought, mind and words of Thomas R. Gray, a white attorney. Consequent-ly, the scholar, or any interested person, must of necessity ask several pertinent questions regarding the accuracy of the document itself. The final part of this recording is a completely unrehearsed discussion by three people (Brock Peters who portrays Turner on this record; Herbert Aptheker-an eminent scholar, historian and writer; and John Henrik Clarke a distinguished scholar and reviewer specializing in materials about Afro-American history and culture). It should be pointed out that this discussion is intended merely to stimulate thought regarding one of the most important and, perhaps, misunderstood rebellions in the history of the United States. Of significant his-torical import, or perhaps we should say as a postscript, on the very night that the final re-cording was effected, April 4, 1968 at 7:05 P.M. Eastern Time in the recording studio, when the taping was finally finished the participants (as noted above) learned that less than five min-utes before The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn.

Thank you for this breakdown
I'm sure Nat Turner was not as articulate as the author write. Plus the author, as he admits, added from his own thoughts and was not Nat Turner's words.
INFORMATIVE BUT I WAS EXPECTING WORDS FROM NAT TURNER ONLY. NOTHING FROM THE AUTHOR
Brock Peters another underrated ancestor...so talented and beautiful voice.

Love also hearing Ossie Davis read, too, speaks with such poise and eloquence, just like Mr. Brock Peters.

❤️❤️❤️
That spirit is the one from The LORD All-Mighty

Are we just gonna ignore the fact that he taught himself to read like most slaves? And to speak with an extensive vocab and vernacular eloquently. Kill he did but to learn was more dangerous.

Me too we know what he did for us
same here sista
You do? Why Melanin
Education without a tutor made Nat Turner a murderer. He was brilliant in his ability to learn but Playing God killed him body & soul!
What kind of sanity Murders innocent helpless women and children. What kind of insanity refuses to accept the facts diverting them into hate as you display Melanin? There are lots of facts proving Nat Turner & Malcom were cold blooded murderers in the name of Rebellion against society. "Nat was the first Rebel 30 years before the American Civil war"! Today modern history sensationalizes the Civil War as over slavery. It's not true. Who in 1831 (Nat Turner's time) could afford to pay $800.00 for one slave?
In place of hatred and opinion why not study your own real history as I have seeking only the facts = truth in place of political propaganda! How many politicians do we vote for that really care about representation of "We The People" no matter what our color, race or creed?
We're one Nation under God. United we stand & divided we fall.

It's at least two books written about it, one.is South Hampton Uprising or Rebellion

YES!! WE DO🫶🏾
@@edmondt848 why do you have to ask?
Idk why, recently I have read a lot of books on slavery. This may become the one I relate to the most. To hear him talk about his mind and the thoughts he had early on is a reflection of my own experiences in a way. Maybe not through spiritual gifts but real life experiences.

Nat turner, John Brown (RIP)
John Brown was white. Yes, he was killed for aiding Blacks but I wont put his name on the level of all the Black leaders lost for fighting against White Supremacy. The only reason we are urged to evoke his name is because Blacks have been taught to include a white person with anything we hold high.
@Debra Turner John Brown is not a Black hero. If anything he did what he was supposed to do for whites. He's a good white person but not a Black hero.
@@mrrdw77 Ase' my Brother.....❤🖤💚✊🏾

I love NAT TURNER, Equity and Justice has never been obtained even today as I live in a vicious and Evil World 👑⚔️🛡️✝️
This Documentary of this Great Man is Inspiring Spritually and yet this Man in that time did the Impossible
Nat Turner was my great,great,great grand father so thank you for your comment.
@cobainzlady infact it was inherited...now let me give you history lesson,when you come to a point that ENOUGH is enough that BEAST that oppression creates take over.violence begets violence thats the only thing violence understands...we were never the violent ones...it was you who came from those mountains with all of your plauges and vile way of life yal didn't even bath until we cleaned y'all up taught how to be civil evil and violence is your true essence that's why they're is no melanin in your pigment you kidnapped us took our language our sacred texts and forced a whole new way of life on us anyone who fights a war goes through PTSD now just imagine being forced to live stopped of all yo know,raped, pillaged treated in most inhumane and vulgar means imagined just think of the PTSD of having to indure that .my grandfather stood up to those TYRANTS!!!!! and got his just do revenge and it doesn't matter what they did to him the seed was already planted...birth of a New Nation. A nation that yousee rising up now we are the BEAST!!! that over 400 hundred years of being treated like mud has created,and the very Essence of NAT TURNER flows through my veins!!!!!!!!!! so I say this to you your not ready to face NAT TURNER reincarnated....keep it up
Rest in peace Mr Turner,
A lion of the tribe of Judah!

You saw the movie … correct ?
Then mission accomplished.
The movie was excellent but sad black people unity was super & got killed. The Black people need to watch it & unity. What a day that will be in Rascist America.
Good jod Nat!!!! Thank u for your service...
Turner was the man 5 people was praying to the same God. Nat Turner Did black people some Justice Unlike these sell out today
What? Learn how to use punctuation properly, and explain more in-depth. This _almost_ makes sense...

@@chicagoliightsx shut up!
Damn Im from Holland and I can spell better than you OP. The US school system must suck.
I went to school with one of Nat Turner's grandchildren and he was ashamed of his heritage...because the kids on the bus used to whisper that's Nat Turner's grandson and he would be red with embarrassment...if they had known better they wouldn't have been gossiping and making him feel bad for what his ancestor did..I didn't pick on him because i wasn't brought up to hurt people...kids can be so cruel...but if the bullies weren't picking on him I would have never known...but I bet today they may regret making him feel bad...they can't say their ancestor tried to help the slaves.
wow
Greatness is that childs veins!!
Most African American ppl can be so dumb & ignorant against each other but the pale man is always better & right in there mind
@@CleverLoyal247 I know a black man who is related to Nate Turner. He said the pale faces taunted him because of this. He is proud of his heritage inspite of the pale faces.
Wow !!! I'd ❤️To Hear More About Your School Experience With No at Turner's Grandson.
Absolutely brilliant so sorry our ppl had to go through so much because they refused to listen to the LORD many are doing the exact same thing today Repent and serve the Lord in truth
Without him no slave would have thought they could defend themselves, Without him no slave would have fought back and knew that there was more to life other then slavery. Thank You Nat Turner for showing the race what was right and who was wrong. Every person has a right to be treated respect and be free.
This is not the first slave rebellion.They had many, knowledge they hide from us
@@XmrcaptainbobX True. I said the same thing.
Check out the history of maroons in the US. People were fighting and escaping as soon as the first Africans arrived. Turner became an inspiration for many, but he was far from alone in fighting back. The independence of Haiti in 1804 terrified white Americans. An independent African nation so close scared them. So then (and before), news of rebellions, maroons, etc, were played down or outright hidden so that others wouldn’t get inspired.
There were so many revolts we may never know of. Thankfull we knos abt the maroons as well as others!!
The Honorable Nat Turner gave the Grudge a taste of their own doings, when one thinks of 1821. We needed more Nat Turner's today.🖤🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♂️👫🏿✌🏿
he paid dearly for it, as would you today, get your evil fantasies out of your useless head
Nat Turner, only supposed to have killed one person,but lead the revolt,he was the genius who formulated it.this is the only book we have that is documented and investigated by black scholar's.
It delves into the mindset of NAT.
(William Styron)
As I read his book I become more enlightened about and understanding brother Nat.
Styron is a liar too, but a flowery author in writing.
Enjoyed this immensely So interesting ,informative and intriguing Blast from the past.Wow!!!!!👍👍
Nat Turner's birthday should be a NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
RIGHT
Rest in Peace Nat Turner. We know the "Cave Beast" treated you unjust& humanly. Glad you took out as many as you could before you left us my brother🙏😥
learn how to listen and be analytical about whom you make out to be a hero.
@cobainzlady I 100% agree with you. Who are the racist in here? I'll never forget the OJ trial and when hew was found not guilty of the dbl murder he of course did. Many African Americans cheered for the murderer and to Hell with the victims that he savagely murdered like Nat did to his victims. // Education is the only answer. Teach real Civil War history in place of the Slavery version. Remember the war started in 1861 not 1863. That was the Date of the Emancipation Proclamation offered by Lincoln! Learn Real history and stop following your Pied Piper leaders that only care about power & Control of We The People.
@@chuckkady7282 It was war over rights to the land. You willingly chose to believe the lies, continue to pontificate on Henry Nat Turner, instead of have a logical, intelligent discourse on the facts I was more than willing to post to your page..with sources and page numbers. Although coercing and theft of free blacks' lands began earlier, it culminated with the Dawes Act 1887, long after slavery ended. The conflation of slavery is designed to conceal this real issue, which is also the reason for the insurrection in the first place. Promoting a disproven farce is no better than what the racists you called out do. Is propaganda and perpetuating lies more of an answer than education? What happened to integrity above all else? Everyone has an agenda.
Rip nat Turner my hero great man who had the guts to confront evil. Rip John Brown the struggle continues.
He really was a great man that committed evil against evil truly a great man. 😢
Tyler Perry's studio should do a film that gives Nat justice. Hollywood is afraid to.
Birth of a nation the movie
Tyler is too afraid
We will get there
Fuck Tyler Perry tbh
YEZZ.BUT TYLER PERY CAN GO BUT SO FAR DEALING WITH HOLLYWOOD LEGALIZATION
He said "He Was Born The Property of" I Can't Imagine.
400 years of slavery the slaves had no Freeman thoughts. They claimed themselves as property.
Even the "whites" @Linn Geez....
Its the reason people have a social security number and credit rating to keep track of how much you are worth.
LIes. He was not born a slave.
@@christianperkins39 Excuse You! Was you there? How can "you" tell his truth!
"Lies" you say? How about this, Just because you say it, doesn't make it true.
Baba Nat Turner is my hero who unapologetically fought for his freedom by any means necessary.
How wicked they are to try to inspire guilt in Nat for the sacrifice of his brothers who fought with him. These devils always pin us against each other. I’m sure they psychologically used that to strike fear and distrust within our people who remained enslaved at that time. They still use these psychological tactics today.
They Sure Do !!!
Black super hero! He got tired of the torment! They was in hell. The crime of slavery was never punished.
Why do you call him a hero. He murdered the man the taught him how to read and his whole family. Then he commenced to murder all the families women and babies in the name of God! I think the man was insane not a hero.
@Nanjimoy Al Kursi where did you read where he was abused?
In 1831 Nat Turner was born of a father that was captured by his own people and sold as a slave all over the world. It was called the slave trade and was established by the tribes of Africans. in 1831 a slave cost $800.00! That would be like a million today! Why would you mistreat your prize horse if it would cost $800.00 to replace it? The propaganda don't cut the mustard when you look at it logically.
Slaves could think & understand. They were owned but cared for. They were given shelter, food, Drs, Churches and recreation. Not the way Hollywood projects it. Just be logical. If you breed slaves it takes 18 years before you gain work or profit. you simply don't mistreat your investment or you lose you plantation!
@Nanjimoy Al Kursi This as U know has been going on Since Tribal war for power. In less then a 100 yrs look what's happened to the USA Since Adolf Hitler.
This is how it started in 1937 now it's here! The results are ruclips.net/video/AkXPD92Fg2c/видео.html
The head of Propaganda then was Joseph Goebbels // Replaced in the 21st Century by David Pakman. Have you seen this Slime Bag brain wash 1000's? Please watch and compare.
@Nanjimoy Al Kursi Nat was not born a slave. Don't believe the lies you are hearing from people trying to promote the same talking point about Africans selling other Africans into slavery. He has no clue as to who Nat's father was or who his mother, wife and grandmother were in reality. Just pontificating. I know it is difficult, but keep love for everyone in your heart brother. Stay safe.
@Nanjimoy Al Kursi It's just par for the course. All channels seem to do it. First I thought I was violating some rule about posting sources and website pages to research, but I found out it is at the channel owner's discretion. So, just assume that some things are not going to be allowed to say if they are undesirable. What is it that you are trying to say or do?
Nat Turner you are now free PIP baby...
Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 NIV
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

BIG UP RESPECT
it's really sad that modern folk don't understand the differences between the English language of educated the 19th century and now.
Nat Turner was obviously smarter than the average black or white person. The highest profession, black or white, could aspire to, was to become a preacher, a minister, therefore he probably felt "a calling."
There was a "confession" supposedly made by Nat that was printed in the local paper, and I believe this text is that confession.
If most black christians thought so ethereally-logical I could actually respect their religion.
Love your channel
Thank you Ms Lyons.
@@reelblack I do commend your channel for allowing truth conversations to be posted without deleting or removing posted sources and evidence. Love the interviews after the Gray confession.
I look forward to listening to this audiobook. Nat Turner makes me think of Spartacus.
Started to not speak, but my Lord tells me that my lack of humility boldness, miscolor, etc., will be the rule and the end of days as we beat each other into submission, and when we can't we will wage war against one another until we are surely done....(not a phrase, statement, or rhetoric, but a fact.
I respect and praise my lord and those brothers and sisters that came before me, but as Brother Martin stated, He saw the light for All of US... I still believe. While I did not get to meet or know him I did get a chance to meet Angela Davis, Brothers from the Black Panther Movement, Shirley Chisolm and Malcom X....who believed that ALL White Men were Blue Eyed Devils....until He went to Mecca....Read before you speak, don't listen to narrations...the truth will resonate in your hearts.....You don't need anyone to speak for our leaders in their own tone.... Sorry if you don't believe me, but think for yourselves. I know that things are not optimum...yet, BUT it will get better... PS go back in hx and see the number of whites and other races that have led the NAACP in those rural areas where we didn't have strongholds, and look at those that march next to you IF you really march. LOVE MINE, but Don't LOVE Ignorance....WE can WIN the Fight, but only if we do it together...or it will be a constant WAR, not just for us but for our children too.
Dear fellow human .such true words of deep nuance online are rarely heard

Brock Peters was awesome as Darth Vader in Brian Daley's Star Wars radio dramas.
I'd totally forgotten about writing this in my youth. I was a Black man then & had been treated w/respect for I had never looked upon White Women w/respect that they were not due. This sounds unusual but, as I recall, it was very far back in time before Sammy Davis Jr was known as a 'Rat Pack' member but still he was well into the MS & syringes that brought him to hang out with a young Bill Burroughs & the other original writer who cherished a specific manual typewriter of the same brand of manufacture. I don't remember however I think I saw Corona more than once & that was a good sign of consistency. I did know I lacked the pony to own one of my own through honest means.
After I submitted the manuscript for publishing at the finer PH's in Chicago & New York & being called a Negro instead of Colored or a 'Boy' I decided, thinking to myself 'Fuck this bullshit!’ I'm going to be on Maxwell Street & checking out the 'liberal' White Ladies & see just how liberal they cared to get.
This was before Morgan Freeman was beyond that 14 year old 'Rudy' on B'way though he obviously did it mag -nificency & it would be decades, though only two or three, before the TRUE BLUES- them 'Lectric Blues- were invented by McKinley Morganfield & the acoustic players in their inventive ways would be speaking with Nicky Tesla about getting his own shit together & helping them with a little bit more than aspirations to wear a shoestring strapped bango & not getting anywhere with Mary of PPM (as we called them) when they were following up the solidarity of Les Paul & Mary Ford. Playing poor really seemed contrived & put-on wasn't the best direction for anyone who wants to get anywhere. Somehow, there'd been a meeting on the minds with Edison & while Tesla wasn't interested in this new kind of music & microphone placement he did like something before heroin called codeine & an early morphine base & so agreed to set up the wiring diagram & do the first few recordings so we would help him stay - as he called it - "shattered but not broken up but down". McKinley & Riley B King liked that feeling of sound combination & the short, sharp, shocks that would be associated with a poor job in the wiring but not a total loss. In fact, they liked it & thought it would help with longevity so long as they didn't look at a White woman too long unless she was brown in the irises.
The bottom of the stairs so they said.
Petey Wheatstraw wasn't really getting his own sound together & played with them old 'medicine shows' to get a few more days of jolt solution.
It was inevitable that the electric wiring & rubber shoe soles would make a great team - like Sonny & Brownie before (or without) Lomax's recording team.
It's about time to go visit her own Brother STILL in locked up -&- down.
Thank You for this. ✌🏾🌇

Thank you
I don't appreciate that fact that this chump is assuming that the oppression of blacks are equal to that of all other races that have experienced such a thing.... Our oppression far exceeds any others. Not to say that there are levels. But, the length of time in which we have been (from the start to the present) no other race of peoples can say that.
Bro. Ron...You are correct. Our oppression far exceeds any others. We are the true Israelites of the Bible and God Himself said "for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem". Read Daniel 9:11-14 to better understand that entire scripture. In verse 12 God was conveying and confirming this to Daniel. Daniel was an Israelite in captivity in the land of his enemies....just as we are in the land of our enemies now. God scattered us to the four corners of the earth....and no matter where Israel is....they are suffering. Whether you believe you are Israel or not....when you read those scriptures you will begin to see that our disobedience to the God of Israel brought curses upon us ( written in Deuteronomy Chapter 28). Daniel himself knew that the "curses" were upon us. Yes....Our oppression far exceeds ALL others.....because we refuse to Obey Our God, and do what He told us to do. It is Written.

Speak on it sis!
All praises to TMH God Of Israel
Learn history poor Ron Harris. There were lots of slaves in the Bible if you dare look. They all weren't black as your hate and imagination makes them out to be.
Someone taught you to hate. Why do you enjoy it? If you analyze Nat Turner he was smart and an easy learner. His problem was this. He had no educated blacks or whites to share his opinion of what he read with!
You do, don't you. Look up oppression. It's not a nice verb Ron. U are what you were taught. What a pity you don't know how to analyze yourself and see your own character defects!
And we should trust T.R. Gray for telling Nate Turner’s story🙄..ok
Nat Turner was sent from God to do his work upon this earth...
Truth
I know this voice from polly with Keisha knight Pulliam he was the old man across the bridge lol never knew his name great voice and actor
Sounds like Carl from Good Times.
Very informative
He’s more articulate then some men today it’s sad to say
The only proper interpretation of Nat Turner's story is that of a Biblical Testament interpretation. He very much was a prophet and when interpreted through the lens of the bible and the true Hebrews of the Bible it makes it very clear.
Give me back ground of T,R. Gray
Love your channel, I learn so much
Thank you
You are so welcome!

This all happened in my life time ::: A TALE OF TWO AMERICAS
by
James D. Veltmeyer, MD
Are we heading toward two Americas? Are we now engaged in a cold
civil war? Are we on the cusp of national disintegration and separation?
These trenchant questions would have elicited simple responses and
quizzical stares in the 1940s and 1950s when, it might be argued,
America was at the zenith of power, prestige, and national unity. Most
Americans asked that question during the Eisenhower era would not
have even understood what the query meant. We were a different
country then and a far different country now.
Just think back to that period in American history. We had just
vanquished Nazism, fascism, and imperial Japan in the bloodiest war of
all time. We alone held all the cards. We alone were the world’s
superpower. No nation or bloc of nations could challenge our wealth,
productivity, or military prowess. Europe was in ruins. Japan had been
atom-bombed into submission. China was in civil war and while Stalin
was advancing into Eastern Europe, the Russians had just lost forty
million people in the war and the rest of its population was locked in a
totalitarian dungeon.
America in the 1950s was overwhelmingly white and Christian. Its
immigrant populations of Irish, Italians, and Poles had successfully
assimilated into the American culture. We spoke the same language,
honored the same heroes of Valley Forge, Gettysburg, and Normandy,
celebrated the same holidays, and, by and large, worshipped the same
God. Families were intact, pre-marital sex was frowned up, divorce was
uncommon, and drug abuse was rare. Prayer was permitted in the public
schools and graduation ceremonies that did not invoke the Almighty
would have been unthinkable. Abortion was illegal almost
everywhere. And, even if it had not been illegal, it would have been
considered hugely immoral. Hollywood’s movies were clean and
uplifting. Censors were not needed for “I Love Lucy” and “Father Knows
Best.” Children obeyed their parents. And their parents obeyed God.
Was everything perfect? Of course not. No human society is perfect.
Yes, we had problems, the most glaring being segregation and civil
rights. Yet, even in the midst of Jim Crow, African-Americans enjoyed a
prosperity unparalleled in human history. Black families stayed
together. Out-of-wedlock births were a fraction of today’s number.
And, even in the South at the height of segregation, black and white
children played on the same playgrounds and their mothers and
fathers worked side-by-side
However, something happened in the decade of the 1960s. It was
determined by a handful of elites in government, academia, and the
media that the America of Dwight David Eisenhower was bad, boring,
or worse. Suddenly, we were told “God Is Dead” and that man is the
alpha and omega of all things. That led to an insurrection against all
authority throughout all sectors of American society.
It was now OK for students to burn American flags and draft cards, to
occupy college campuses and spew forth profanity in the name of “Free
Speech.” African-Americans were told it was all right to loot, pillage and
burn down cities. The Warren Court chimed in, creating new
Constitutional “rights” out of thin air, letting the malcontents and
America-haters believe that everything they were doing was just fine,
a praiseworthy example of “dissent.”
Those who believed in the traditional America of the 1940s and 1950s
didn’t fight back. They were what President Nixon called the “Silent
Majority.” Convinced by the elites that “intolerance” was the worst of
all malignancies, they failed to stand up to those tearing America down.
Yes, they cast votes for Republican Presidents but those Presidents
themselves lacked the will to resist the barbarians at the gate. They let
the Left set the agenda, allowed the Left to demonize anyone who
aligned with traditional values, and offered little but token resistance to
the onslaught.
Fifty years later, the results are predictable. The fissures have widened
and the divisions in American society have only become deeper and
more permanent. Facing little opposition from the standard-bearers of
American truth, the left-wing mob become empowered and
emboldened. Constantly moving the goal posts, they demanded more
and more concessions from us.
Abortion in the “hard cases” now became a right to third-trimester
abortions, even to the moment of birth.
Tolerance for non-believers meant tearing down creches, menorahs, or
monuments of the Ten Commandments, forbidding Christmas carols
and abolishing Christmas and Easter in favor of “Winter” and “Spring”
holidays.
A less judgmental attitude on sex now meant homosexual marriage and
transgender “rights” to bathrooms and sports teams. Even pedophilia is
okay in the view of some of their enlightened “academics.”
“Equal rights” which promised to judge individuals on the content of
their character rather than the color of their skin was turned upside-
down as “identity” politics took over, pigeonholing each of us into
arbitrary racial, ethnic, and gender cubicles which would define what
we had to think and believe.
A holiday for Martin Luther King now meant subsuming Washington
and Lincoln to something vaguely called “President’s Day” and tearing
down historical monuments to any American hero who happened to be
white, male, and Christian from Christopher Columbus to Robert E. Lee.
It has now come full circle. The Left has never been more brazen nor has
it been more bizarre. The leading Democrat candidate for President has
staffers who want to put conservatives in “re-education camps” and
execute landowners. Another candidate vows to give a 9-year old so-
called “transgender” child first pick for U.S. Secretary of Education. All
Democrat candidates agree on free health care for illegal immigrants
and most want to abolish the U.S. border outright. They endorse
outright lawlessness as they embrace sanctuary cities and turn
a blind eye to vagrants and drug addicts taking over the streets of our
major cities.
Can you now see why some argue that liberalism is actually a form of
mental illness? Does any of this make any sense at all?
We are indeed living in two Americas. One is what Hillary called the
America of “deplorables”: the smelly Walmart shoppers who cling to
their God, their Bibles and their guns. The other America is the America
of the rage-filled, hate-filled coastal elites, from New York and
Washington, D.C. to Hollyweird and Silicon Valley. They are
contemptuous of everything we believe and everything we
cherish. They are cultural nihilists who wish to raze to the ground the
America we know and build their new godless socialist utopia upon its
ashes. They are the children and grandchildren of the 1960s
troublemakers.
They hate the America of Washington, Jefferson, and Madison. They
hate you. For fifty years, they have been getting almost everything they
wanted and they have totally transformed America in the process. They
succeeded because a series of feckless leaders failed to take them on.
Until now.
This election will determine which America wins. The stakes could not
be higher. In President Donald Trump, the Left has finally met its match.
We pray to God he prevails again this November.

WOW
Nat was a good storyteller.
I could NEVER believe this❗ Mr. Nat Turner if these are your words Im very sorry King but, the Caucasian Neanderthals deceit leaves me/us no choice but to DOUBT❗

What do you mean by this ?
Those who take up the sword will perish by the sword....Jesus Christ
Nat turner= 2nd greatest person to ever walk the earth behind yahshua!
WHY CAN'T WE SHARE THIS!!???? REPARATIONS!!!!
Reparations for what? You weren’t a slave and no was anybody living today. Reparations is just another word for welfare. Blacks see this is more free money they don’t have to work for. You give them money they’ll just blow it on drugs or some other bs.
100% Texan Hilarious sounds like something a descendant of lazy, evil, monsters that tortured, raped, and abducted millions of people because they didn’t want to and didn’t know how to grow and pick their own damn cotton and sugar cane. An entire nation built on free labor and stolen land and is the sole reason for the wealth that elite whites in this country enjoy now. White people complaining about welfare is just another of the lies and deception their culture is built on. That’s all they know is how to exploit people for their financial gain, and have the unmitigated gall to complain about others being compensated for their pain and suffering. The permanent damage done to an entire race of people. This is the reason this country is suffering, a debt must be paid, until the debt that Americans owe to the indigenous people and to the slaves descendants the country will never be great.
100% Texan your whole race are benefitting from money they didn't have to work for. They form secret societies and abuse children. Look after your own affairs.
