Don’t underestimate how much influence on the public psyche these kind of theatrics can have. Creating a tiny seed of doubt on both sides about the permanence of the current power structure has to start with a van guard of radicalism. The results may not translate to simple cause and effect results in high school history books but you have to have a radical fringe that plants that seed of fear into the existing oppressor. And then the results of that can ripple.
It’s always taught that Nat Turner failed but I don’t think he did. I think he was the first wave of a movement that ultimately won.
Didn’t show it in that sissy movie but they chopped up ten white children and piled their body parts up for effect. It scared the **** out of whitey. Like 9/11 it said, we can touch you bitch.
