I find it astonishing that in 2023 people do not understand slavery.Slavery dates back before Jesus.Centuries of people enslaving mostly same race weaker people.The Arabs,Romans ,Native Americans,Asians,Europeans.North America did not create slavery,and whites did not hunt African people.Aficans were sold by Africans.And black people were often times slave owners. Slavery exists today,do not be fooled.Adults and children are trafficked daily in this evil world of ours.We must do everything in our power to end it.

Who built the Great Wall of China? - 2,000 MILES LONG - SLAVES; who built the pyramids of Egypt? - SLAVES; Who built the Taj Majal? SLAVES. Who built the Coliseum and other historical buildings in Greece/Italy? SLAVES. Who built the Pyramids in Mexico, Central and South America? SLAVES. Slaves were used to suppress the ability of the conquered to retaliate against the victors, as well as to provide labor to expand settlements, etc.

LOL so they deleted the other comment they pinned -with the guy claiming this video helped with his guilt as a white guy- in favor of this one. Not shady at all. 😂 Here’s my response there as I believe it’s important that people understand you’re seeing what selling your soul looks like with these two. “Perhaps someone needs to make a video explaining to you that your ancestors not only bought slaves, they mistreated them-beat and murdered them. They fought a bloody civil war to keep human beings as property. When slaves were finally freed, they refused to treat them as equals, hunted, brutalized and hung them for many years after. If this video eased your conscience, then buddy, that wasn’t much of a conscience to begin with. So let me explain to you all what’s happening here. Right wing groups in the US believe that the reason white people are sympathetic to minority causes is because of guilt about slavery. Part of their agenda is to use people like the two who run this channel to peddle their propaganda in exchange for cash. They are playing the long game in politics. They believe these small seemingly insignificant steps will ultimately lead to a political climate more favorable to extreme right wing beliefs where white is supreme above all others. This is the reason why many of these popular black owned reaction channels are suddenly posting things that bolster right wing talking points or outright posting right wing content. Look at their videos and ask yourself who makes a reaction channel then all then all start posting right wing friendly political commentary on that channel? Apparently, a growing number of black owned channels. To the owners of this channel, be careful what you wish for. The money you received for the price of your souls is temporary. The the ramifications are forever.”

[@jlleibold1974]

It is extremely important to learn history is not to repeat it. The correct version of no matter how much it might hurt. Slavery is a thing that has been worldwide throughout history. The only reason to say but it's not a white thing is hating white people for something that's been universal all over the world like they're the only ones that have done it..... Is dangerous. It's creating hatred to not tell proper history. When in fact it was white people or rather white majority countries that put an end to it. Not that absolves their ancestors of their practices. It's just not all cut and dry like people wanted to be. It also isn't to say that people in Africa or any other country that participated in the slave trade are guilty via their ancestors. It's just about the history and how not to repeat the same things over and over again. Slavery does on today and that's something people don't want to talk about. It's still going on and people want to concentrate on the past. It's so unproductive and a weak. Let's whine about the past because it's easier than fixing the problem we have today.

It hurts to be told as a young kid by adults and friends alike that white people are hateful and I’m responsible for slavery. Getting that kind of treatment all my life has caused me to just tell folks to kiss my a$$. I am me and not in any way responsible for anyone else’s actions. Because of that kind of treatment caused me to deep dive into research on the topic of slavery at a young age. They don’t teach it because it was a plan to divide us. Minorities against white. It’s a bullsh*t divide that seemingly worked…until now. People are waking up and comprehending that we all have more similarities than differences.

So we asked our man who could speak the language and what was being said was we were about to come up on a slave caravan and they were not sure what we would do. I have to say that it seemed like the officers were bent. They came up with a excuse to return to camp which we did after talking GPS data. We went and told a few good officers that were there that we were going out they said we are coming and the other battalion's had got wind and we left half the men keeping a eye on the Kenyan officer's and the rest of us moved out in whatever vehicle that would run as we were about to raid a country we had no right being in but when we ambushed the slave caravan we all knew we did the right thing 200 teenage girls 100 boys and only 100 adult women we were never going to give them to the authority's so we had contact with a Italian Christian mission and they were heroes and took them. We thought we may be getting away with away with conducting a illegal operation in international law we were sent back to the UK and if the Italian government spoke up for us we would have been jailed.

Why wasn't this taught ? It's hard to manipulate people when they know the truth.

[@van182]

You are being manipulated. The reason black slavery was evil in America (and other parts of the world) is because of the dehuminization of blacks. Blacks as a people were believed to be genetically inferior. They were subsequently treated as subhuman. This narrative has been pushed for centuries in America. The belief that one group is generically inferior to another even violates the Word of God. Even today, many blacks struggle with inferiority complexes or low self-esteem because of skin color or hair textures. Many slaves endured unconscionable suffering. Don't use it as a reason to hate, nor as a crutch, but don't deny history.

I'm a black paramedic/Firefighter that has worked in Milwaukee and moved to Florida. My kids learned more about slavery in a world view than a US view. In Florida teaching kids that slaves built the pyramids, the major waterways in the middle east and the incredible slavery in the United States. It taught my kids how slavery was much bigger problem than isolated to just us. Which in turn made slavery much more unforgiving. Working in Milwaukee then moving to Florida. There was so much less racial tension here in the South, then in a big city in the North.

It's not a race thing, it's a money thing. At least, in my opinion. People are still being sold off today in one way or another. Imho, slavery only ends when poverty ends. When people have opportunities, other than selling off their daughters, etc.

Problem is, slavery still exists in many parts of the world including the sub-Sahara Africa where that area alone are estimates between 750,000 - 2 million people… just because it’s outlawed, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist… murder is outlawed but still happens…

[@van182]

The issue is not the past or present existence of slavery; it existed for thousands of years. The issue is the dehuminization of blacks during American slavery. Blacks were told and treated as genetically inferior creatures. There were books written and laws enforced to push the dehuminization narrative. Centuries later, many blacks still struggle with inferiority complexes. If you read the bible, God gives instructions to slaves and masters. It is an insult to your ancestors to deny the unconscionable treatment of so many. Never use slavery as a crutch or a reason to hate, but don't deny reality.

I am a 75 year old white man. In the '60s at university, I was required to take U.S. history. The teacher(teacher?) was blonde, blue-eyed female. She worked up to the Civil War. She was saying how terrible slavery was(as it is!). And how the whites bought and sold slaves. A black man from Africa (I don't remember the country) raised his hand and asked the question..."How bad were my ancestors in going in country, capturing blacks....MY OWN PROPLE, and selling them to the whites on the ocean shores?" She was dumb founded! Then,a few minutes later we had a break. When we came back after that break she walked to the front and said "We will skip the Civil War because everyone knows how that ended." I was in the Navy, and I had a friend in the Marine Corps sitting next to me. Without even looking at each other, we stood up, raising our hands and saying, "Wait a minute!" There were others in the class doing the same! (There were 50 some odd in the class) From then on, she was very careful about what she said.

[@danielrelinski5665]

I live in SC and one of the biggest slave owners in this state was William Elison, he owned 68 slaves. Elison was only one of 171 black slave owners in SC. Elison was known as one of the worst slave owners in the state for his treatment of his slaves and his practice as a breeder, (he would impregnate and then sell the children of the mothers). And the irony of Elison is that his "master" set him free for him to turn around and enslave his own people.

And how many comments assume or conclude that general conclusion can be extended to cover slavery in North America? That’s very much what he’s implying, right? Well, that’s simply untrue. While true regarding slavery in many places throughout history, the institute of slavery developed in North America was very explicitly and clearly about race. More generally, it was about white supremacy, and the belief that the white race is superior to the black race, and that black man’s natural place is subordinate to the white man. It’s not pretty, but that’s the reality of American slavery. This video is dishonest propaganda. So is Carol Swain (she parrots Sowell).

@Shawn and Mel I knew about this a LONG time ago. Being an Asian American, and actually reading about the real history about Slavery showcases that this has been a thing since sin broke into the world when Adam and Eve defied God. This set forth a world in which slaves became a real thing, and something that was so common, it was considered a necessity during Ancient times going up until within the just past few centuries, when *shocking* (though not shocking if you know history) White people were the ones to end slavery, at least within the Western Modern countries, while in countries like Africa, it is still absolutely prominent with Black enslaving Blacks still, and numerous other nations elsewhere. Whenever I hear people screaming "Slavery", I just shake my head because it needs context, real context, because at some point and time, everyone was a slave. Even within North America, the Native Americans killed, captured, and enslaved one another as well, which is completely lost in the entirety of the US history in todays day and age. Slaverly isn't a "Black" issue, but has been an Everyone Issue throughout history. Now ask yourself? Why did they do this? Twisting History? Easy Answer. THEY WANT US DIVIDED, PERIOD. That's it! This is so that those who continually push this, can use it as a tool to garner power, position and a foothold, by bringing up a twisted past with a portion of the truth. Basically they speak with the tongue of the serpent, for that is how Satan did it from the beginning, by putting a bit of truth into it, and twisting into his own "truth of lies."

Scottish person here . Our very North islands were regularly raided for slavery . Whole villages were decimated . Villages created hidden pits to hide in when they heard the boats come in . We still have folk songs about it . The slapping of the waves , is a rhythm used in some songs. Viking raiders.

I almost feel bad, born in the 70’s and went to school in the 80’s. My teachers told us ALL of this. We knew of the Slavs and the fact that whites couldn’t “go” into the interior of Africa due to their immune systems. We new that blacks sold other blacks to Danish sailors that they transported back to America (on Jewish owned ships) to sell. Where did the public education fail these kids? 😢

The British Royal Navy ended the Atlantic slave trade and Britain paid the final monetary debt to Africa bc buying slaves was necessary in some regions in order to set them free! Dr. Thomas Sowell, Dr. Carol Swain have also addressed this! I was shocked and had to admit I had some kind of feelings about the British! I have made a concerted effort to get to know some British folk and they are just like everyone else!

I wonder if as so many of the English were nervous about paying a fine to William the Conquerer that suddenly Scotland was a sneaky way to still get slaves. None of the Slavery videos seem to touch on this. If you have a link or some info I can read on this I'd be really appreciative for more information. Thanks.

Peeps, do not beat yourselfs up over not knowing, some folks perpetuate this to exploit it. Your reaction to facts revealed tells me everything I need to know about your character. Your minds were open and objective. And you came to your own conclusion. I could not have wished for a better outcome.

[@Rumbaiman]

Hello, I don’t normally leave comments but after seeing your reactions to finding the truth I thought I would provide more information. I’m an American guy that lived for 3 years in Soyo, Angola and learned these truths while living there. Soyo is the location of the port where much slave trade occurred. The slaves were captured and sold by the local ruling African king. The port of Soyo named Mpinda on the Congo river is where some of these slave trades took place. I encourage you to Google the history of Soyo. Malaria is very prevalent in this region and what I found fascinating is that the locals develop an immunity to malaria. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. Keep searching!

the real world sucks, slavery is stupid.. I am 48 years old and was taught history by a wonderful man Mr Thomas! He was a old black man and he never pulled punches. He taught me slavery was not a white issue and that we did not come from monkeys.. that God created us all! Oddly I hated him back then, but I he is sitting in heaven right now and waiting to give me the butt whooping that I still deserve! Look forward to seeing you Mr, Thomas!

This hurts my heart on so many levels. We were all just pawns in this lie about slavery. Growing up, I was made to believe that slavery was a white/black thing. Now we're finding out that there's so much more to this than any of us ever knew. What the establishment has done to all of us of all colors is divide us unnecessarily. There are good and bad in all races. I judge by character of the person, not by the color of the skin. But the establishment and the government have purposely put us against each other since the beginning. My whole life, I've loved everyone with an open heart. It didn't matter the color of the skin. I wish we could spread this message because it is deep and it needs to be heard by everyone. The only way we're going to combat the establishment and what they're trying to do to us is to stand together not violently LMAO but love each other and show them that we are not afraid and we can be successful regardless of our skin color.❤✌☮🇺🇲

Race, didn't really enter into it until worldwide slavery was ending. It's a rather sad side effect of Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution and his publications in the 1850s. People ran with his theories in new directions, postulating that evolution dictated that some "races" were inferior to others. Prior to that, the rationalization was much more often differences in religion, or the losers of a war, than anything else.

[@van182]

@@bobprivate8575 The American slave trade and slave breeding industry was rooted in economics. The bible states that the love of money is the root of all evil. If you really study global black slavery, you will learn that the attrosities inflicted upon Blacks are beyond comprehension. Pushing the generically inferiority of blacks narrative, to justify the institution, has had lasting psychological trauma upon many. There is a concerted effort to almost deny the existence of slavery and the holocaust. Neither should be used as a crutch or a reason to hate. However it is a spit in the faces of my ancestors to deny their suffering and their fight for my freedom.
