Oh my goodness, I was just thinking that and then I saw your comment. I feel like I'm sitting at my grandma's knee while she's telling a story. This is so impactful.

I’ve been reading about my history for over 40 years and some of these historical moments I never heard of. Thank you for making this available.

[@hotmess9640]

As a Somali that grew up in America much respect to you, your family, and ancestors. There’s a few bad apples amongst us African immigrants that are ignorant to your trials and tribulations but I’m well versed. Very strong and resilient people you all are, forever indebted to your community for fighting for us Africans to even be able to immigrate when you had more than enough of your own problems. Much love!

Her name is Florida Yeldell. She was a wonderful professor and historian. She has a whole series of African American History in the Lowcountry videos on this channel. (They have a playlist.) If you want to know more about her as a person, here's an interview we did with her: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGTCc4ajf9-XqLM There's also a shorter, updated excerpt we made when she won Woman of the Year in Georgetown County: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4nVmaJ5f7Sknqs.

Its a shame we had to deal with the enemy's Oppression and inferiority treatment by Europeans and French, but our very own people were the House Rats (Snitches). I tell ya, we are our worst enemy when it comes to Liberation and Revolution, and you wonder why we as a people can not Unite til this day. Keep a eye on your enemy, but a closer eye on your Brethrens.

You say Aficans were noble kings and journey men.. so when we say that we already were here and settled, why you can't understand that we were here for thousands of years so that makes us indigenous to this land..

[@larrybolton9982]

John. I tell people that but they think I'm crazy. Only about 300,000 slaves were brought to America.

[@terribethreed8464]

When they talk about the indigenous they aren't talking about U.S. born slaves. They're referring to those indigenous to Africa in Africa & those brought here.

[@TheRealElBo]

No because the enslaved people came from Africa! The indigenous argument is cointelpro 2.0

[@missshannon9790]

@@terribethreed8464 and she said not to refer to our Ancestors as slavesm they were African descendants who were ENslaved. What's the problem?

[@shaffy856]

Native Americans like to pretend they weren't enslaved or that the 5 civilized tribes sold out all the other tribes and aided in their declassification as tribes. They dont talk about how all the Eastern nations were reclassified as "negros" because they were darker in complexion than those out west. These tribes were quickly absorbed into the African population. When the enslavement of the American indigenous ended in the south in continued outwest well into the 1800s. Most of those in the 5 civilized tribes do not even consider Mexicans as brothers and sisters even though their have the highest amount of Native American ancestry outside of the reservations (which were originally plantations)

[@efreeholdings1575]

Eh. I am pretty well read in African, European, and American history and I do sense some White bias in her narrative. Also she did not mention Dessalines in the Haitian Revolution, which is a major important part of the Haitian Revolution not Toussaint in my opinion. Though there were some Africans that were in the enslaving of other African nations Portuguese, Arabs, Spanairds, English also set up in African giving payment to these people. So nothing is without the hands of these others. I understand she cannot mention all things in this extention of history but I do sense some political correct bias.

[@missshannon9790]

I don't. And I don't see what you're saying. She's talking about African RESISTANCE toward their enslavement by the wite man. Why do you think she's whitewashing history?

[@mariahray4666]

@@missshannon9790 I agree with you completely. I feel like she's staying on track with the story. I feel like she's talking more in depth about these instances that we haven't been taught, or isn't as widely known.

I agree w/ Miss Shannon. They aren't mentioning anything about Seminoles not because there is anything against them. I just learned about 2 months ago about the crap that the Seminoles went through as well. Like I commented under someone else's post. We need to know all HISTORY and not just what America is shoving down our children throats. They aren't being told the entire truth so now we must step in and fill in those gaps. Share any links pertaining to the Black Seminoles. I would love to learn more about them as well.

Foh!! Y'all to blame too.. Ignorance of the law doesnt exempt u from it.. Ur comment is ethically irresponsible and u need to do more research because chattel slavery as we know it was created, maintained and sustained by EUROPEANS the world alike

[@ElongatedVowels]

They most certainly did not sell out "their own." In general, slaves were obtained from chieftains, kings, and merchants that sold captured warriors and prisoners from *rival* states, or convicted criminals who were already in bondage as a form of punishment. They definitely would not have sold people captured from their own polity, as that would be counter-intuitive to maintaining power in their region of influence. A Wolof or Fulani person would have felt no kinship towards a Bambara, Hausa, Mossi, or Igbo. Saying black people sold "their own" in the slave trade is like saying Germany attacked "their own" when they invaded France in WWI. Statements like these are only made out of ignorance of the diversity and sophistication of Africa at the time and a desire to lump people from the same continent together to shift the blame of slavery from Europeans (whose institution of slavery was far more barbaric in almost every sense) back onto the Africans themselves as though modern blacks should feel guilty for their own plight or something. And besides, no one's "blaming" anyone, this program is just acknowledging the realities of chattel slavery. You're just projecting your own insecurities.
