I read somewhere today someone make a
reference…a comparison that initially startled me. If you know anything
about Nat Turner, you know that he was a rebel. I brutally deviant
rebel! He decided to secure some justice for his people. It was
the same zeal that was used during slavery to maintain order among the
slaves. Castration, removing a fetus from a womb by cutting the female’s
belly open, hangings, raping, beating, drowning, overworking, the
denial of proper medical attention…all of this were evils committed by
white men while their wives remained silent. The viciousness of slavery
is unimaginable. I for one would not have made it through the cultural
destruction, and I definitely would have not been able to endure the God
permitted punishment of slavery. Nat Turner decided one day that he was
going to behave like his captives…evil as a Devil. He went on a killing
spree committing the same atrocities as his masters. He was known to
butcher white women and children. He actually tortured many of the white
men that were responsible for slaughtering his people which ultimately
permanently destroyed the mental psyche of black men and women of today.
So, when I stumbled across a Photoshop portrait of Nat Turner and Chris
Dorner, the maniac that’s on the run in California, I suddenly became
enraged that there are some people rooting for Dorner. These people want
him to continue his mayhem that has seeds of perceived righteous
indignation. Dorner’s so called manifesto has been interjected into the
atmosphere as a justification for his actions. That’s sad. The
non-rambling parts of Dorner’s manifesto that has understandable
complaints of racism and systematic mistreatment is not reason for
murder and payback. Dorner is no Nat Turner. Turner lived during a time
that justified his actions. There was no way out…no way to get the
attention of the white man manning the Slave System. Today, here in the
21st century, there are non-violent vehicles to voice concerns and
address the evils of the System. There is a process that has worked for
countless black and brown people…brown people were the couple that
Dorner killed, by the way! During slavery there was not a means to
object…there was simply not a choice other than suicide, continuation of
your slave confinement, or behaving as Nat did.
I condemn the
photograph I saw, and I condemn Chris Dorner. He is wrong, and does not
deserve Face book recognition and Tweets littered with support:

As for the LAPD...smh...this police department over the past three
decades has been at the root of sanctioned disorder. But, its chickens
should not come home to roost in this fashion.
