I appreciate so much your open-mindedness, and your willingness to explore the larger dimensions of truth. I am a white-skinned man who was born and raised in Africa, and had dual citizenship growing up. I can assure you that there is both great virtue and great evil in every single race and people group. I count it a blessing beyond description to be part of a nation that, despite its past failings, at least had the decency to be embarrased by its wrongs, to admit them publicly, and to go about the hard business of living into its own higher ideals. However we got here, let's all cherish each other, supremely value each human life, shut down the blame-throwing, and dream and build toward the noble and the good.

[@whosme8221]

In studying my ancestry, I had to unlearn much of what I learned. History is indeed far more complex than we were taught.

[@jessieball6195]

History is what it is. It is only "complex" if we make it so. Study and learn from it, but do not let someone (like Owens) convince you that everything that you have learned already is "fake news". No matter what Ms. Owens or these reactors may tell you, there was/is nothing glorious about slavery, and just because it may have been accepted and carried out by a society's own leadership, that does not justify other races doing the same thing.

[@charlotex1]

What's an example of something you had to unlearn?

[@richardmartin9565]

@charlotex1 I had to generally unlearn the slave/master relationship; that slave owners often tried to keep slave families together; thatvsome slaves had surnames; that slaves with marketable skill a could buy their freedom. That slavery and slaves weren't treated the same everywhere. Treatment varied somewhat according to location and era. Of course, slavery was still slavery, but when you look into their personal life, they were also people as were their owners.

[@richardmartin9565]

@charlotex1 The other thing, the 1870 Brickwall can be broken through depending on which states you're looking into. In the Deep South its more difficult since low literacy rates place a low value on record keeping.

[@JesseLJohnson]

There was also plenty black slave owners in the south. I know there was a couple larger slave owners here in SC. One of them was known for breeding and selling his slaves.

[@dryan3261]

trafficking is modern day slavery, and it takes place right here in America.

[@jackastor5265]

Slavery is messed up, especially when you consider pretty much every race has been enslaved at some point.

[@yo3rdtier128]

Yeah, but that not the issue. The issue is whites invented slavery in America and I still want my reparations and Candace should be ashamed of herself, that’s the issue

[@gregorymorse8423]

Slavery was traditionally a punishment for losing a war. Generally the option to choose a side was available. This was considered as just since for obvious reasons those fighting were considered dangerous anyway. Of course splitting up families or harming women or children is messed up, and wasn't supposed to happen. And freeing slaves or not enslaving their children, etc was honorable. But this model was rarely followed. In principle, it was understood. Religion derives the rules. But there are very limited instances in history where it was done justly. Religious texts generally make it for subjugation of an aggressor for a generation or so, intended to be phased out. Though again, human history shows that nearly all slavery was messed up and not a safety mechanism against former aggressors.

[@michyn4959]

Every race has been enslaved and slaved others at some point.

[@guffinator70]

Study the various battles in the history of Europe, Asia and the Persians. You will find that everybody took slaves. Including the Native Americans.

[@29_lets_go]

I agree with learning more about today’s slavery. At my last job I had a coworker who moved here and gained citizenship and I asked about her previous country Bangladesh and she told me there are many slaves there.. she came here for freedom and it was a long and difficult process with her family over years. With the amount of countries that exist and how there’s millions of slaves still, it would be wise for us, arguably the strongest country in the world, to be VERY aware of what’s happening when it comes to human rights.

[@bdiddlemcgriddles]

Most people who want to know about this stuff already know. People still come to the USA in droves for a better life. The USA is the greatest country in the world, and people come to it for freedom and a chance at a better life.

[@29_lets_go]

What I’m saying is that I like to think of myself as pretty knowledgeable about current events and history yet I don’t know enough about modern slavery.

[@chuck2tall]

Some people don't want Americans to learn this in school. School boards decide what is taught. School boards decide which textbooks are used. So the publishers assemble the books that the schools will buy. If you're interested, look for the book "Lies me teacher told me" by James W. Loewen who explains it in detail.

A very important part of that Prager U clip is that it STILL is going on today in the form of human trafficking. You can't act like you're all pissed about past slavery or horrified that it happened in our country's history and then, turn around in present day an turn a blind eye. Most American consumers are purchasing electronic items made with child slave labor, etc.

[@spinesauce2687]

the US still has slavery, it happens all around the world and is legal here. We also didn't end slavery in the civil war, it continued much, much later. this was through the debt peonage system which eventually regressed into normal slavery again, as it wasn't a punishable crime. additional, many African Americans are upset not just about slavery but its legacy, and the continued abuse with the system like the school-to-prison pipeline, redlining, and countless other issues. also, this video is just full of lies, misinformation and true information presented in a misleading way. Prager U is not a good source for learning about this stuff.

[@bessarion1771]

And the same crowd trying to get reparations based on a person's skin color are attacking the ONLY current movie dealing with human trafficking. I wonder why????

[@HisbeautifulTruth-nl1ch]

It's easy to turn a blind eye when it doesn't directly affect you. I doubt modern slaves in Europe, America and Africa find solace in the fact that African- Americans were once slaves. Go over there and tell them to "buck up, you're not the first to be enslaved."

[@dalb.790]

I watched a documetary on slavery many years ago and still remember some of the facts they pointed out. British, French, Spanish and Duth ships were the most prominent ones going to africa to get slaves. They bartered with African leaders of tribes that were fighting each other and whichever side won the battle took slaves to be sold or traded for goods. The elderly and children were not considered to make good slaves so the were sruck in the heads with clubs and killed and the healthy males and females went into the slave trade. slave ships took thir cargo to Islands in the carribean to be"domesticated" and made into farm workers and servants before they could be taken to America to be sold. America was not he only country that had slaves at that time. White slaves were also being sold from wars in Europe to the middle east and Ottoman empire nations. Slavery is an apalling practice that has been around for many thousands of years, an example of man's inhumanity to each other.

[@RodGustavson]

People yelled at you because you told them that slaves have existed throughout history? How the heck did you say it that made them so mad? The fact that slavery has always existed, and that the US ended slavery does not change the fact that the US engaged in brutal chattel slavery for centuries. The Prager U video seems to be designed to push a narrative that whites owning blacks somehow wasn’t so bad because blacks did it too, and it eventually ended (after a bloody civil war). Whites owning blacks was wrong. The US was wrong to allow it. We didn’t end it soon enough. Nothing about slavery before doesn’t change that. The fact ancient people believed it was “normal” does not make it right or give those that engaged in it a pass.

[@Trifler500]

As an American who mostly went to school in the pacific northwest, none of this was new to me. I was never taught that slavery was a "white phenomenon" in school. I was simply taught that slavery was really bad and let's make sure that never happens here again. In regards to US history, specifically, they made it clear that slavery existed throughout history, but they went into the ways slavery in the US differed. It's true that Persia enslaved millions of whites and other races, etc., as did the Roman Empire, the Ottomans, etc. However, Rome in particular, for the most part only enslaved people they defeated in battle (and people who couldn't pay their debts). The children were born free, because their slavery system was based on the actions of the individual (whether we consider it fair is another matter), not because of their race. IIRC, in some nations, someone could be sentenced to slavery for their crimes. Not really different than being sentenced to work camp for life, which still happens in some countries today. What was particularly bad about the US system of slavery was that it was based on race, and treated people like cattle. They could and would literally breed slaves. I feel like she should have mentioned something about this. When the ancient empires started running low on slaves, they had to either go to war and conquer a people to enslave them, or buy people who were rounded up. I'm very glad we (the US) brought that practice to an end.

[@buckjones4901]

The worse form of slavery is going on today, it hasn't ended, but the media tries to deny it, even a movie that clearly exposes it.

[@annawilliams2336]

You do realize that the ones in America that had the biggest breeding system was Black. And the only reason Muslims wasn't called out in their slavery was because they castrated their slaves so they couldn't have children.

[@coreyrobinson8209]

Your distinctions are purposefully left out out of Owens' video. The whole point is to soften US slavery for those who can't accept the sins of our past. Literally no one teaches that white people invented slavery. However, if you happen to bring up slavery to an American, they will obviously think about it in terms of US slavery (which was very much race based). Candace Owens makes a lot of money as a token minority spouting white nationalist talking points.

[@nigelhickman2274]

For a millennium the eastern Muslim world (before, during and after the trans Atlantic slave trade) traded in slavery based on their color of their victims skin (by race). Whites were assigned different duties to Sub-Saharan Blacks ... and young white women were prized as slaves for sexual abuse. These Muslims denied themselves intergenerational slavery - because they castrated all the men slaves first (both twig and berries). Nine out of every 10 of these male slaves did not survive this procedure and yet despite this the Muslim world enslaved far more - for far longer than the Trans-Atlantic trade. The difference between the Muslim slave trade and the Atlantic slave trade is that Americans are taught the 'white guilt' and the 'black victimhood' of their ancestors - whereas the Muslims don't give a crap.

[@budoboy1977]

One thing that is crazy to think about is that shortly after 1865 when slavery was abolished in the USA, if you lived in the USA, the chances that you would have purchased something that was made from slave labor was fairly remote (outside of illegal slave operations). However today, because of the global economy that exists, you most likely have many things in your possession that are produced in some part by true slave labor. The easiest example: If you have anything that contains a lithium ion battery, you have in your possession things that were made with slave labor as a component. How many people today would be wiling to live without anything that was in part or as a whole created using slave labor? At this point, unless you were willing to live in some remote jungle, completely disconnected from modern society, it would be pretty difficult. So, how do we realistically fight against slavery when so much of our modern lives depend on it? I don't know the answer.

[@williamdean4775]

That is not entirely true. It is important to look at how slavery was practiced specifically in the United States. It was race based.... It was written into our laws. And how slavery worked in the US which was different was that slaves were bread like cattle to produce more slaves. Where in most other parts of the world slavery was a result of a tribe being conquered or as being a prisoner of war. The generational subjugation of a specific ethic group was practiced in the US to support the economic system of capitalism. That is a specific US issue and why the discussion of reparations should be on the table.

"White Supremacy and White Nationalism is not a problem that is harming Black America." - Candace Owens, September, 2019.

[@mattdouglas1050]

Candace Owens's video is extremely skewed and her facts are selective. She neglects that Columbus himself enslaved the Taino. He bragged about it in his own diary. The enslavement of the Taino included kidnapping girls as young as 9 as sex slaves for his crew. The Brits were not the first people to outlaw slavery. There have been pockets of people, especially indigenous cultures that simply never even thought of the concept of slavery, and others that outlawed it after the fact, the first recorded one being Persia in 5th century BC under Cyrus the Great. But going to more recent history, she's outright lying by calling Britain the first to ban it. The first country in that era was Haiti. A country formed free slaves who revolted against their French owners. Mexico also outlawed slavery before Britain. Many American slaves escaped there. I could go on... Additionally, modern slavery is Africa is mostly perpetrated by either neocolonial puppets who get rich by allowing American and European corporations to come in and loot the resources extracted by slave labor, or by people rebelling against that with power trips of their own that get away with things like child soldiers because who they're rebelling against was so oppressive to begin with. Slavery may not be happening in predominantly white countries (well, actually, it is, many a sex slave makes their way to America as chattel, but that's another story) but that's doesn't there are white people getting rich off off it, albeit with the help of neocolonial Africans. The point is that while slavery has afflicted all colors throughout history, the one that is still having an impact on the world today is the European assault on Africa and the indigenous of the Americas and Australia. By saying, "it's happened everywhere" is a deflection from the parts that are still alive today.

[@bradmoyer9737]

He will, however, back up everything Candice covered as factual in his own commentary.

Roman's, Greeks, and on forward. It took us a full school year to get through all of it but I guarantee I remember alot of it and slavery, from THOUSANDS of years back, is something that intrigued me because it had been around so long.

Very many of the Slave Ships were British. Candace didn't mention that the US had Trade Barriers against the foreign Slave Ships. Many Slavers went to Brazil and sold to the Portuguese plantations, or to the Caribbean for the French and Spanish plantations. To import slaves, the US would go to the Caribbean. BUT, most US slaveholders (including around 35 Black slaveholders) didn't want "wild" slaves. They preferred to breed their own, already trained and spoke English. Alex Haley who wrote "Roots", admitted that the story was a myth. The US was one of the countries who sent naval ships to patrol the West African coast to interdict slave ships.

Another fact that people miss when they talk about the 13th Amendment being passed in the US in 1865, including in this video, is that 1865 is when slavery was outlawed on the federal level. However, the US was founded as a confederation of formerly independent colonies, in essence thirteen independent nations at that point who were not eager to surrender their newly won independence to an overbearing federal government. This impasse led to a US Constitution which specified that the powers of the federal government were limited to what the states could not do for themselves, such as to provide for the common defense (aka Federalism). Any authority not specifically granted to the federal government by the Constitution was left to the states (see the 10th Amendment). That included the power of individual states to regulate and/or abolish as they saw fit the former colonial system of slavery within their own borders which the original thirteen states had inherited from the European colonial powers (in the 13 original states, it was inherited mainly from the English and Dutch). Without an amendment to the US Constitution, the federal government did not have the authority to interfere with slavery at the state level. Accordingly, the following of the original thirteen states abolished slavery within their borders long before the 13th Amendment was passed in 1865 - VT (abolished in 1777), PA* (1780), MA, which at that time included the later state of ME (1783), NH* (1783), CT* (1784), RI* (1784), NY* (1799), and NJ* (1804). States marked with an asterisk passed gradual emancipation laws effective in the year specified, while in VT and MA emancipation took effect immediately. Although the new federal government prior to the passage of the 13A in 1865 had no constitutional power to outlaw slavery within individual states, the federal congress could, and in 1787 did, outlaw slavery in federal territory that was not yet a state. Namely, the new Northwest Territory (the territory between the Ohio River and the Great Lakes). That federal prohibition against slavery included any future states that would be formed within the NW Territory. The result was that in what became the states of Ohio (1803), Indiana (1816), Illinois (1818), Michigan (1837), Wisconsin (1848), and Minnesota (1858), slavery was forbidden by their state constitutions from the start. The states of California (1850), Oregon (1859), and Kansas (1861), West Virginia (1863), and Nevada (1864) also entered the Union as free states prior to the passage of the 13A. In other words, slavery was abolished in most of the US years if not decades prior to 1865. Further, the federal government acted within their authority to regulate foreign trade and interstate commerce while at the same time moving the country closer to a gradual end to slavery by outlawing the further importation of slaves into the US, effective in 1808. As for the practice of slavery which existed among the indigenous people of the pre-contact Americas, the video touched upon just one instance of natives asking the newly arrived Europeans for protection from their fellow native antagonists and enslavers in the late 1400s, but there was many instances of this in the Americas over the next 400 years. Many native tribes allied with Europeans, and much later, the Americans, against their traditional tormentors and enslavers from nearby tribes, both for protection and to finally get some payback.
