Slavery and Suffering - History Of Africa with Zeinab Badawi [Episode 16]

Much is known about enslaved Africans once they arrived in the Americas and Europe, but in this episode Zeinab Badawi looks at the impact on Africa itself of one of the most evil chapters in human history: the trans Atlantic slave trade. She travels to several countries to see how, where and why this trade began in Cabo Verde in 1510. She meets a man on the Senegalese island of Goree who for 35 years has been relating the story of slavery to thousands of visitors. And leading academics tackle the controversial subject of why some Africans helped sell their fellow Africans into slavery.

Yeah I think about the white Europeans taken from there villages on mass up to the 17th century that eventuality led to those Europeans learning the trade of the African Moors and dominating at there game , so much so that Europeans are blamed solely for the triangle slave trade while in was infact African people who would kill and enslave there own people and export them across Africa for sale to the highest bidder which at one time happened to be the Europeans and not the usual customer , the Islamic empire. But what you forget about is , that it was white people that banned slavery and put there people into intergenerational dept to enforce the abolishment of the practice, so eh thanks for that white ancestors , I'd suggest you should be grateful for those people too, as with out them slavery wasn't going to stop and in fact still hasn't stopped in Africa.

I’m LIBERIAN and unfortunately, the vast majority of us just don’t understand or know what happened to our brothers, sisters, cousins, parents when they got on those ships towards the new world. It’s movie like this that’s important to teach a valuable lesson that our African chiefs were wrong, slavemasters were wrong, the institution of slavery was wrong, and the Europeans powers that allow slavery to exist were wrong! Let’s be clear on these facts that 99% of Africans today had nothing to do with the slave trade and let’s be clear that the vast majority of white people had nothing to do with slavery. The problem that exist as of 2021 is the fact that tools such as ethnocentrism, racism, tribalism, prejudices, discrimination and hate that’s part of human nature, are used systematically and hiddenly , to minimize others opportunities to climb the economic ladder. There are people out there who have fallen victims to these human ills...making it difficult for them to put ENOUGH bread and butter on the table for them and their family members. The great news here is that we all have the power as individuals to change the world around us, to treat the next person with empathy --to treat others the way you will want to be treated, regardless of your social-economic status . In a nutshell, be kind and treat others with decency, while giving other people an opportunity to climb the economic ladder of life, in today’s society. Thank you.

🌟💥 The title given to the enslaved blacks of the *'Kushite'* empire is known as *"Hebrews"* . The Hebrews originally existed in the North. The Hebrews who were invaded and survived capture, escaped to the dangerous and swamp invested south, which was originally reserved for the purpose of wildlife. This title *Hebrews* was awarded to the enslaved Blacks by the captors and newly famed colonial authorities; The Mass *Greek* invasion of the 4th millenial BC *(Period of 6,000 Years ago)* The Greeks who were fascinated and learned of the original Kushite spirituality. Adopted much of the cultural hanbitats of the Kushites. Faith and Godlihood was a major cultural investment for the Greeks. The Greeks who adopted the title as Jews after much centuries later. Today this word 'Jews' means : God's chosen creation of people on earth or *"Gods favoured people"* We could speculate and measure that probably a chosen people would have some advantages of this long inhabited earth, even while punished as biblical scripture has mentioned: Physical abilities of the earth perhaps - Spiritual abilities perhaps { Solar rays of the sun destroys "Ashken Nazi Jews" Opose to the fact, The *sun* strenthens the Blacks immunityon earth. This concludes that the *Ashke Nazi jews* can not possibly be the authentic original jews? There exist much theories investigating, the Jewish title and it's significant evolution via the etimology of language into transcript. The word 'Hebrew' turned to the word 'Jewish' is possible via transcript of language. The title Hebrew was given to describe the complexion and characters of the original natives.. Of the *North!* Also later discriptioned in Roman - latin as the *"Necromancer"* Meaning: - *"The darkskins that prayed to the after life"* : The Kushite empire is situated in the north of African peninsula. This is were the Arabs and persians have found their home via the battled-invasions- of pillage for land - theft and opportunitistic theivery. This commenced more than two thousand years ago History saw the battles with Roman and Greek battalions for the control of the regions: Later, Over 1,500 *(One thousand and five hundred)* years ago : A major battle won by the invading persian onslaught, captured the north peninsula - (Kushite) This was known to be captured soley due to the aid of a growing movement aided by inspiration of the protagonist of this movement. Villagers eagerly followerd the heralded protagonist, recorded as a messenger from God, a Prophet he was addressed by. A few thousand miles from the city of *'Medina'* situated north of Africa, was the home to the Prophet, who was enfluenced and persuaded by a war mongering sultan to join the sultans crusade to spread the movement across the peninsula and capture the northen front of the peninsula and the city medina: In reality we can see today, that the sultan was only interested in the wealth of the empires to be invaded. The sultan's machination resulted in the capture of wealthy resource filled lands from the cluthches of European forces. The empires exchanged control of the regions throughout the periods of the first millenium Ad. Continuous battles against the Byzantine empires by persians/Ottoman/Asian/Indian Mystics/Aztecs took place throughout. The Arab and persians have succeed.. Stood as victors with the aid of the Prophet's movement. The protagonist the Prophet of the movement and every last one of his family and friends were assasinated and slaughtered after the victories and captures of the regions, wealthiest empires of the continent titled as Africa. The machination devised to remove and annihillate all of the original leaders of the movement: By methods to erase all natural successors and bloodtires to the inheritance of the regions: Astonishingly an age of *"three hundred years"* passed by, until a faith was fully established and motioned in honour of the one titled as Proohet, They called him Muhammed *(Pbuh)* Devised, it became, to new successors of administration: A decree upon the lands that any captured armies/enemies, pagans, wonderous, citizens, allies, friends, foreign nationals, widows, children and infants, ophans, families etc.. that did not adhere to this sworn oath of new decree: The testament reads... *"Muhammad is the final messenger of Allah and exist no other God but only Allah"* alone! Those whom did not accept this testament were slaughterrd or made into slaves... For it was perceived as a threat to the sovereignty to not assimulate to the persian empire. For example: This echoes in the same characteristics of not accepting the European Royals/Kings and Queens of England/Catholic Churches etc would be slaughtered on site or made into slaves if physically profitable...? Do you understand what this means.. The manuscript created to affirm this decree came from notes enscribed upon leaves. The enscriptions on the leaves were derived from the *INTERACTIVE* - preservations with friends and family of the one titled Prophet Muhammad *(Pbuh)* Those people succesfully kept the personal diaries of 'Actions, words and wisdoms of Prophet Muhammad *(Pbuh)* I must admit, this information becomes incredible, as i realise this *'astronomical epithamy'* : Minuses any exagerations.. For example : If throughout my life records are kept by many people And such records are later collected by interested sources...and stored... It is more than possibly likely, such information , that is stored will be restored somehow someway by someone *'2,000'* years later in the distant future? Such information will be inevitably changed, to benefit the authoritive rulers or perpetrators of that future kingdom or empire? Words and actions will be changed, along with the accounts and stories of the original behaviours. ? Any original account, which falls into the hands of any human beings - powerful - authority and legislation is never left unchanged/unaltered/unmannered! It is an abomination that which anyone's testaments will be changed to, inorder to profit some by format of deception? Insurmountable misinformation occurs, when interpretations are created from any records by the minds and creative imagination of *human beings...?*

We Africans consider black people in America and black people all over the world as our own, whom were taken away from us by force. Many black Americans are Reconnecting with their roots in the black continent. there are many Africa Americans and black people all over the world whom are reconnecting with their roots. they are going to Africa to learn about our ancestors. there are anti-slave trenches and caves in each tribe and village in western, central and south Africa. that out ancestors prepared so that when the Europeans/invaders come they would hide inside the trenches and the caves. We as Africans welcome you African Americans and black people all over the world to come and visit Africa. You will be welcome by the people and the chiefs and kings, they will see you and be happy. You will be truly welcome. It is best that when you go or visite, you take someone with you. so that they will show you around the black continent Africa, its history and its beauty. Don't believe what the world shows you about Africa. I beg you to look at the positive side of Africa. Africa is still suffering from the effects of slavery and colonialism specifically western and central Africa. The countries in West Africa are in modern slavery today. European countries like France make sure that their fourteen African colonies stay poor. They control the currency known as Cfa. They also control the economies and GDP of these countries. These countries pay billions of dollars of colonial taxes to France each year. I am from Cameroon. I come from a tribe and village known as Mbem. Our native language is called Yamba. My grandmother use to tell us that back in those days when the European s came to the village everyone would run and hide in the caves. There is a huge cave in my village where when the Europeans came with guns, everyone would go and hide inside the caves. Because they could shot and kill anyone. My grandmother use to tell us that they took our people and go with them. 96% of all black people taken from the black continent of Africa were taken by force. I don't know much about other villages and tribes. Do not believe what everybody in the whole world goes around saying that we sold our people to the Europeans. those our other ancestral tribal African leaders that handed their people over to the Europeans/invaders, they could have been bribed, they could have been forced to make those horrible decisions. Those our ancestral African tribal leaders that handed their people over to the white people/invaders, they Realized and recognized the horrible decisions that they had made when they saw that the white people where killing our people, when they saw that the white people where lynching and segregating our people, when they saw that the white people treated us blacks like animals, they stopped. when they stopped, the Europeans started taking those people from those tribes by force too, specifically central and western Africa. The Europeans/invaders did not only take our people away from us, they made us slaves in our own land. they colonized us and forced us to speak their languages. they controlled us. the whole continent of Africa is still suffering from the effects of colonization. We as Africans and the whole continent of Africa Failed to defend our land, our resources such as Gold, Diamond, Oil, Agricultural resources, and more, and We Failed to Defend our people from the Europeans/invaders. Those that survived were the ones that managed to hide. If you go to Mbem village, you will see the huge cave, you will think that God himself put the Rocks there.

I believe we should learn about our ancestors in real-life experiences, not from books that were written by the people that put us under oppression and slavery. Countries in the black continent like ghana, are welcoming black Americans and black people all over the world to come and visit. to learn about our ancestors. here is a link to Nkoundji II, youtube channel videos. it would be Great if you could watch all of his videos in cameroon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJDaYYOvbpebpac.

34:26 I respect Prof. Hoff's honesty concerning the role that Africans played in the slave trade. This narrative that most of us blacks have in the U.S. that Africans were kidnapped by Europeans and sold into slavery must die because for the most part that wasn't the reality. Europeans could not have enslaved Africans without cooperation from other Africans. Acknowledging the role Africans played in the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade obviously does not absolve Europeans of any accountability for the role they played and their mistreatment of the slaves once they were sold into their hands. We just need to be honest about what happened regardless of how uncomfortable some truths may be

THE VIEWS OF MOSES MAIMONIDES “Those who are incapable of attaining to supreme religious values include the BLACK coloured people and those who resemble them in their climates. Their nature is like the MUTE ANIMALS. Their level among existing things is below that of a man and above that of a monkey.” (Maimonides, Guide To The Perplexed, Translation from the Hebrew Version) In the Jewish Bible there are Hebrew slaves and non-Hebrew slaves. Leviticus 25:45 teaches what can be done to the non-Hebrew slaves. Read the chapter to find out about Hebrew slaves. Seeing that Christians believed the Bible was the Word of God, it was natural for them to allow slavery. The same thing with Muslims. Muhammad claimed to be the Last Prophet, so he did what the Hebrew prophets did. The Jews were against freeing the slaves in America and it was Christians who freed the slaves & destroyed worldwide slavery. Islam still practices slavery in Africa.

enslavement were made in many step: - It began with a kidnapping for a large part of young children by Arabs then it continued via the "training" of the latter to make them "tools" for the benefit of the slave system.... it is on these consequences that you talk when you say that blacks sold blacks.... Modern studies on psychanalism that owe much to the practices of Europeans on blacks (see the letter of willy lynch true or not it expresses the mechanics that resulted in making an individual a threat to his own. Thus train humans in the infancy or create dissentions between groups as we see today (whites do not change their method!) To conclude who is more to condemn the indoctrinated or the indoctrinator? Let us not forget that these peoples who ended up practicing slavery (and who were part of the first enslaved peoples because of their proximity to the Arab-Berber slavers) are Muslims: so what about the place of this Islamization... It's stupid to rely on the end of the film to make a judgment on all the film.. And very often this is what leucoderma trolls do to clear theirs or uneducated negroes and alienate to show that they are "open-minded" !!! In the majority of cases the psychanalise shows that the child abusers were themselves... abused children!! Despite the gravity of the act we must not forget that a human spirit can be shaped! And the modeler is the most to be condemned because he initiated the cycle !!! (And he still does... to dominate).

It’s movie like this that’s important to teach a valuable lesson that our African chiefs were wrong, slavemasters were wrong, the institution of slavery was wrong, and the Europeans powers that allow slavery to exist were wrong! Let’s be clear on these facts that 99% of Africans today had nothing to do with the slave trade and let’s be clear that the vast majority of white people had nothing to do with slavery. The problem that exist as of 2021 is the fact that tools such as ethnocentrism, racism, tribalism, prejudices, discrimination and hate that’s part of human nature, are used systematically and hiddenly , to minimize others opportunities to climb the economic ladder. There are people out there who have fallen victims to these human ills...making it difficult for them to put ENOUGH bread and butter on the table for them and their family members. The great news here is that we all have the power as individuals to change the world around us, to treat the next person with empathy --to treat others the way you will want to be treated, regardless of your social-economic status .

Then I proceed to educate them by telling them that most of the time it wasn't an even trade because Africans didn't have umbrellas and liquor and other commodities that Europeans had they would sell 40 slaves for an umbrella or a bottle of brandy. They would pay them with shell currency because that was their currency at the time. People always ask the question why do you think your people sold other Africans into slavery and I always say, the same way American men and women sell drugs in their own community, it's an opportunity for them to make money to possibly feed their family to buy cars live the life of luxury things that they didn't have they were afforded to do that if they sold drugs.

The steps to decolonise Africa: 1. African leaders love your people and work in their interest. Stop taking the fortune from your people and hide it out of Africa. Use it for your people and your family inclusive. 2. Africa needs to unite and be one. under one government, army, currency and education system. 3. Africa needs to change it's education program. History of Africans needs to be rewritten and taught. No good in studying French revolution and blah blah. 4. African diaspora need to invest at home. They also need to bring the skills back home. 5. Africa needs not to always rely on imported policies meant to keep it tied and on the shackle. 6. Africans allow your brains to rethink and stop letting other people program your thoughts through religions and western media. NB: I remind my fellow Africans that it is the black community that is mostly the target. The rest of Africa regards it's self as part of Europe and Asia.

Thank you Zeinab Badawi! Your research of what truly happened during the slave trade is amazing! This information should be used and recorded in the history books of schools across the world! God Bless you! Much love! Keep up the good work that you are doing!

[@Junior-yt6cx]

There is no firm proof of an Atlantic slave trade

[@madiba4ever210]

This solid documentary must be accompanied with the classic How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. You’re welcome.

[@ComradeHistorian]

Europe underdeveloped Africa? Only North Africa was developed because of the Ottomans. The Africans were centuries behind technologically by the time the Europeans arrived. The Europeans and Ottomans developed Africa more than the Africans every did

[@ginabooker2301]

Very informative very nice and I have been to the Charleston Beach where they is now a Landmark where the slaves were dropped off and I'm telling you the spirits there like one lady said that you just can't describe the heaviness the pain sadness that you feel from our ancestors

Tears come to my eyes when I see all those slave castles. The Black race has suffered immensely more than any other race of people on this earth, yet we are so disunited.

I can’t believe she is trying to degrade what he said about how inland Africans were instrumental in providing slaves to the Europeans buyers. He said “we need to put our OWN house in order first”. That doesn’t of course diminish in any ways the entire horror of slavery. I am one who still can’t bring myself to even comprehend the concept of selling and buying people!

Bro, don’t you know whites took power lastly since their global wickedness is to bring mankind to it is end. No other people are more evil so they will nuke mankind and 7yrs later amassed world war against the Messiah himself. Reduce people to animals doesn’t justify blaming those who sold them the slaves. Hebrews were slave in Egypt minus being dehumanize as animals, so God’s judgement on whites will be unbearable. It’s already began so prepare asap to meet the Messiah or die in the nuke or the upcoming global calamities. its urgent that you don’t delay in your decision. it is over. King of kings coming to setup the everlasting kingdom of righteousness. Hallelujah! Repent everyone.

[@armindogenero]

I just watched this video, and I have noticed that my life is no longer the same. An unspeakable inner pain reigns in me that are only increasing within my soul. I understand now how my ancestors went through so much hardship and inhuman treatment that I lack words to describe the suffering and shame they had experienced. Between deceit, sabotage, rivalry and tribal wars, many fell into the traps of slavery. How many will have died and thrown into the sea? How many indeed were subjugated placed to mistreatment? The day of reckoning must come to clarify everything.

[@randyedwardlofton8892]

Sticks and stones may hurt your phone but you can't let words hurt slavery was a way of life some of them enslave themselves each other you have a good way with a sensitive heart tell her it is some evil people still in the world that would love for slavery to come we can't let that mattis we can't give it no consideration newday God has freed us from that bull and those who use and abuse people then and now will be dealt with by the power of the Father son and holy Spirit it's nothing we can do about the pass but the future is all to do as we see for all people so miss hold your head up they couldn't break you so they had set you free amen have a blessed day

[@cmapp1969]

There is going to be a day of reconning, i was never taught in church that there would be, but when i started to read it for myself, there is going to be. The people that enslaved us and their descendants that still benefit off of our enslaved ancestors will all pay. They are living it up and enjoying their freedoms and their benefits but it is going to come to an end very soon. The saints are patiently waiting for that day.

[@adailydaughter6196]

I really appreciate how there were 15 episodes before slavery. It's good that people understand there was beauty, intelligent, creative, society and cultural long before it was colonised. Obviously lol. Too often, schools outside Africa only learn of slavery, war and famine in the continent!

[@trafficjon400]

How do they only learn this? They need help and why would any Creator bring Man in to this would when Man is the inspired word od God of evil. is the Bible in full context turning ministers instant atheist because they see the contratdictions and slavory hate wars on Man in it. cherry picking love is all the dishonest christian get from it. Is there a real true loving Non Manipulating Creator.

[@meh3731]

yes, it was taught to them when they were colonized and enslaved by the ARABIC nations. the reason that there are so many muslims obviously never even occurred to you. THEY brought some civilisation to the norther parts of africa.

[@JGZ.]

What a load of drivel, slavery predated AST, it existed since the Muslims enslaved people within Africa. Domestic African slavery still exists to this day, it was never eradicated

[@deb9784]

Thank you soich for bring the truth to such a difficult topic! I actually cried for the suffering of my people! I am African-American so suffering is something I carry due to the trauma we as a people have suffered! Religion is such a form of control and power, but the Kingdom of God is not! Truth and love are gentle, charitable not cruel. 34 Then the KING (JESUS) will say to those on HIS right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ 45 Then HE will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
