Nate Parker IS Nat Turner

I was watching “60 Minutes” (because that Chiefs/Schittburgh Steeler game was awful…and came across an interview with Nate Parker. He’s the dude who directed the movie about slave rebellion called “Birth Of A Nation.” It’s funny that I can be sued for making a movie called “Star Wars” but this dude can “appropriate this title from D.W. Griffith.

To Nate, he sees Nat Parker as a hero. Though the rebellion murdered women and children. This may nor may not be mentioned in this movie…since it would make Nat Turner a monster. He is a monster. So are slavers.

The sole reason a movie wasn’t made from this guy, is because he’s no hero. At least admit the cowardice it takes to murder women and children. Hell, the Whites to this day feel guilt over something they’ve never remotely agree with OR support in any way. But at least there’s admittance of it.

So, now he wants to open old wounds. BUT…BIG BUT…feels a victim when people draw up the old news about him being accused of rape. He was exonerated but his friend (who helped him write his movie), ended up in prison. So, now he’s repentant for his actions but has never apologized for his actions. Hmm…is he a hero now or a victim? As mentioned before, the girl who accused him of rape ended up committing suicide in 2012. He didn’t know. As it didn’t seem to be a matter of importance to him to follow up. It does tell you something about him.

He still seems like an arrogant bastard. His movie comes out this week, and I wonder how it will do at the box office. Maybe we’re going to be less forgiving. I mean, shit…from a potential Oscar juggernaut to Sony’s biggest embarrassment. Aside from Amy Pascal’s leaked emails.
