Many of these pictures don’t depict American slaves at all… many were obviously taken decades after slavery ended based on their clothing, or are pictures of Africans in colonial British Africa (1:51). Some are of wealthy free black families and many others are of sharecroppers. For example, 2:35 is “Dr. George and Mary Turfley and family, c. 1900 George Turfley, the first registered African-American physician in Allegheny County.” The video is filled with misinformation and not a single image is cited.

As I told you i am from Africa. I haven’t been through the way the Africa American gone through. But I have one and one goal when I move o USA. To be better than I was before. I had no money, no family. But I had that big dream, to go to school be better than anyone around me/ black or white. Now I work with white people getting paid a decent amount of salary and living my best life. Long story short, change starts from us/ individual change is important.

Obama taught constitutional law. Drumpf thinks you need a photo ID to buy groceries, and he thinks health insurance costs 15$ a year. He also thought Andrew Jackson was angry about the civil war, which happened 16 years AFTER Jackson died. Essentially, Drumpf supporters aren't even smart enough to realize how stupid they are.

+Gary Daniel Stop saying "many". Because I know about world history and how various people in various civilizations of various stripes have known pain. This video is not focused on MANY. It's focused on a specific group so stop using stupid reflection and focus ON THE SUBJECT MATTER. Don't talk to me about the Barbary Slave TRade, about Roman slavery, about any of the millions of things I already know about. Because it has nothing to do with the video. *Stop deflecting.* The vidoe explicitly states these are *slave families*--which were composed of the actual slaves and the families that owned them. Not all were American since obviously African slavery existed throughout the Americas, in the Caribbean and Latin America and Europe historically. I'm generally curious to know what would motivate you to downplay slavery personally? What is your agenda exactly? Do you dislike people of colour that badly that you'd take the past from them? Do you honestly believe black people magically showed up on the western hemisphere, and suddenly just...exist today? Lol. That they had it so wonderful and grand across the board? Put it this way: even your most succesful black person in the 17th/18th/19th/early 20th centuy in America or western society in general was still, in many ways, limited, and pushed down due to the social and overall poltiical structure of society. And you know, racism/prejudice. That was fact. I'm not talking about today. You cna spew any kind of nonsense you want to about the present, but in the historical past, being black was not such a good position to have for obvious reasons. So it's not an 'over-simplication'. It's fact. Do you want cited proof of this? And posing for pictures properly was customary for the time. It does not indicate at all the actual suffering they went through. People looked cozy and comfortable for the cameras, that was it. The reality of slavery is well documented, not just by former slaves themselves but whites who witnessed it (and who practiced it within their families). So stop this already. Stop trying to 'redeem' slavery when history disagrees with you.
