This movie is the exact reason why the Democratic party is evil. The Democratic party is the one that enslaved blacks, the Democratic party are the ones that we fought in the Civil War for freedom of all black people, and it's the Democratic Party who's leader at the time Lyndon Johnson said I'll be having them niggars vote Democrat for 200 years when he decided to trick black people in the voting Democrat. It was the Republican party that fought against racism and slavery. And it's the Republican party that still fighting that today. Name a democratic policy and I can tell you how it hurts the black community. Like welfare... Welfare incentivized single motherhood in the black community. Because of welfare single motherhood has raised from 20% in the 60s to over 70% today. Or other policies like affirmative action... affirmative action, which is a democratic policy implemented by many universities, believes that black people are too stupid to be able to get in to those universities so it lowers the standards for black people so they can get in to those schools. If you lower the standards for any student no matter what color to get into an Ivy League school that is what causes high Dropout rates for college in the black community. Or other Democratic policies like abortion, which brainwash people into believing that a baby inside a womb is not a human being. Promoting the message that abortion is perfectly fine and natural has caused a genocide of babies in the black community, because there is a high percentage of black people that are getting abortions. The only thing the Democratic party has done successfully, is name call and slander the Republican Party to make them look like racist bigots. When in all reality you'll find the least racist people amongst the Republican Party, and you'll find all the racist bigots on the left. The left is the racist bigoted party, just Google racism in the New York Times, or racism among the left and you'll see hundreds of thousands of entries of people who are racist against white people for the slander insinuated by the Democratic Party. Very unjust slander all the same because the Republican party has always been and always will be the least racist party and will always be the champion of freedom for all people no matter what color or religion or Creed. - @Sunday, August 19, 2018 2:03 PM

I was under the impression that Nate just gathered some of his kin and went and butchered as many white men,women and children that they could. After slaughtering even babies. They ran and hid in the woods and were caught one by one. Nate was on the run the longest and last to be captured. When he was asked why they did what they did,apparently he has some fantastic story as to why. Some call him a hero. Some call him evil. I’m white but I would like to think I would have done the same had I been in his shoes. Good for him. - @Tuesday, May 22, 2018 4:50 PM
