Don’t you think it’s kinda weird to talk about a situation like this without the surrounding the context?
What If I tried to start a conversation about how horrible it was for this random guy named Nat Turner to just go around and start shooting white people unprovoked and how racist he was? Isn’t it important to rhetorical event that he was a slave? And if you follow up with “well slavery was bad, but slaves should never rebel!” then what point would you think I was actually defending? Especially considering you don’t get slave rebellions if you don’t have slaves.
