We got married this year in Nigeria on 7th of February, about 3-4 days before we got married I found out my ancestors were Igbo from Nigeria. Visiting Nigeria being in Africa for two weeks and coming back to the US was a change in me because I couldn’t stop thinking of my mother land.

@James Franko actually that not true. That is a common lie used by white supremacists.

Also African slavery is no where near chatel slavery as African slavery you could get out of slavery pretty easily by working your way threw the ranks. Lastly most African kingdoms at the time sold slaves as a cry for money as at the time the Songhai empire was in it prime which hog most of the gold and salt trade route from the Sahara desert.for example Mali , the benin empire and Dahomey empire which a lot of slaves came from.

I believe this is really cool. The great great great great great grandchildren of Africans going home to where they should’ve been born. ALL blacks around the globe that are not in Africa are the descendants of slaves. Now, not all slaves were taken by force. Lots were sold to the Europeans, and the kings of these villages became wealthy. this story is awesome! But I believe there is this guilt that runs through everyone of these individuals. I believe these individuals are the blacks that use the atrocities of white men committed upon the blacks, from the ships sailing away from the African coast with slaves and arriving in the America’s, to the Segregation and racism if he 1960s and Martin Luther King, to benefit themselves. Everything is racist. Trumps racists. The American flag is racist. The cops are racists. 200 year old statues are racist. Yet I’m willin to bet all of these individuals son this video are democrats. The very same party that created the kkk, established segregation and Jim Crowe laws, hunted down blacks and hanged them from trees, fought for the enslavement of blacks.....all while republicans, trumps supporters such as myself do not believe in, and republicans fought AGAINST all of those horrible ideologies. As AMERICANS of all colors, religions, and nationalities, we’ve overcome and fought for so much. We’ve conquered the evils of the past. There’s no changing history, no rewinding the time, no lacking back the lives lost and families broken apart. But through time, we’ve fought through courage and determination not let hate win. Yes, I’m white, yes, I’m a trump supporter, yes I love my guns, love to hunt, and what 99.9% of blacks in America would call a racist red neck, but I’m far from it and my wife is a dark skinned Hispanic from a socialist shithole.......I will be honest, I’ve had African friends, from Nigeria and Sudan to be exact, and they say Africans hate black americans. Because blacks in America have only built the most dangerous streets and neighborhoods, and the most disrespectful, degrading, vulgar music genres in America....truth hurts.

2:00 The history of slavery in the Muslim world is more like 13 centuries up until the 1960s but hey it's your story to spin

[@martinsmith2258]

If you’d listened to the video you would’ve heard the narrator say “enslaved on the American continent”. Meaning your comment is pointless because the narrator WAS NOT referring to slavery on the African continent for 4 centuries, but the AMERICAN continent. Open your ears weirdo🤡

[@martinsmith2258]

Aiko your welcome but I wasn’t purposely correcting you😭I was correcting the original commenter.

[@knocknapeasta]

@@martinsmith2258 The narration is poor regardless - "the American continent" is wrong, as the Americas are not one continent, they are two, and South American colonies have a far longer and harsher history of slavery than the United States. It is totally insensitive to omit certain history to suit your own narrative as is done here. If they had said "one of the darkest chapters in Western history" perhaps that would be better fitting? Slavery was not unique to the United States; it is a part of almost every nation’s history, from Greek and Roman civilizations to contemporary forms of human trafficking. The American part of the story lasted fewer than 400 years. How, then, do we calculate the timeline of slavery in America? Most historians use 1619 as a starting point: 20 Africans referred to as “servants” arrived in Jamestown, Virginia on a Dutch ship. It’s important to note, however, that they were not the first Africans on American soil. Africans first arrived in America in the late 16th century not as slaves but as explorers together with Spanish and Portuguese explorers. One of the best-known of these African “conquistadors” was Estevancio, who traveled throughout the Southeast from present-day Florida to Texas. As far as the institution of chattel slavery - the treatment of slaves as property - in the United States, if we use 1619 as the beginning and the 1865 13th Amendment as its end, then it lasted 246 years, not 400 as stated in the video.

[@knocknapeasta]

@Aiko Sorry, the wording just didn't sit right with me. An estimated 388,000 slaves, or 4 - 6% of the transatlantic slave trade came to the United States. A significant number of enslaved Africans arrived in the American colonies by way of the Caribbean, where they were “seasoned” and mentored into slave life. They spent months or years recovering from the harsh realities of the Middle Passage. Once they were forcibly accustomed to slave labor, many were then brought to plantations on American soil. The majority of enslaved Africans went to Brazil, followed by the Caribbean. An estimated 4.9 million slaves from Africa were brought to Brazil during the period from 1501 to 1866.

I am an African American Airline Pilot. When i came out of the U.S Airforce in January 1990. I looked around & realized we are the only race without our own Airline transportation back to where we come from, The Contenant of Africa? I immediately put in an application, received secured financial backing & four years later with help & higher intervention was approved to hold a U.S Air Carrier Certificate to operate a U.S Airline. The issuing agency was furious, because they had never issued An Air Carrier Certification to a Black ownd and operated company before in the U.S of A. They immediately set out to destroy my life with false charges against me.(If we cannot stop you professionaly? We will distroy you personally) They charged me with three C.F.R 67.403 (A)(1) Administrative Actions, which means DUI/DWI. They accused me of committing fraud for not reporting their fraud against me? When i have never drink a beer or had a traffic stop for the likes in my life? It has taken years to clear, because once they realize i will fight for my rights, everyone involved walked away & would not touch my case. Finally after 16 year's as i am posting, i get my case in U.S. District Court in Washington DC. What i have come to realize in America is their are over 180k Airline Pilots. The industry is 98% White male? While Black people are 14% of the U.S population? So we should be 26,000 of the 180,000? Instead we are only 800? In 1947 we had 942 Black Pilots? Called the Tuskegee Airman of which not even one them got a job with a US Airline? Just to give us all a little insight on what we are really dealing with? I want this truth be public because the closest entry points between Africa & America is Cape Verde Islands & The U.S Virgin Islands (2,700 miles apart) in the Atlantic? A short flight but Black people think we are worlds away when we are closer then we think. State of Texas in America is larger than every country in Europe? Every country in Europe has its own Airline.
