I apologize for a bit of a delay this time around. @Othello@hexbear.net will be taking a hiatus from Hexbear to redirect focus to local organizing efforts. For the time being, I will be taking over the posting of EM POC weekly threads.

With that aside, how's everyone doing? Any exciting news, funny memes or stories, or interesting takes? We'd love to hear it all!

Remember, EM POC only!

    You're right about Nat Turner, if he was white there would've been several movies about him made across the decades. The man spearheaded the change in rhetoric among whites and destroyed the 2 myths: that slaves loved being slaves and slaves weren't smart enough to stage a rebellion let alone be successful in it.

    Depending on who you read, some people credit his rebellion as one of the events that led to the civil war.

    He was a goddamn legend.

    Can't make many movies with JB because he unfortunately wasn't as successful. Still badass tho
