[@lessimcdowell9897]

Just to be clear, in the genealogy of morals and beyond good and evil, nietzsche presents an argument that before Christianity, no one wanted to be poor or enslaved and after christianity, being poor was the only way into heaven. It’s just elites conditioning the masses to accept their fate. In the latter book, nietzsche pleas with the reader to not accept master or slave morality but to create their own morality. This is explored a lot in thus spoke Zarathustra too. I think this is why he leaves a bad taste in many peoples mouth, they see both nazis and black panthers reading his books.

We still have people who want to deny the impact of slavery here by pointing to where and how it was practiced other places. Also arguing that the Irish or Chinese had it bad does nothing to change the fact that enslaved people had it bad.

Without really knowing, I’m going to guess yes, as it was seemingly pretty standard in Pre-Christian Europe. It’s more a question of scale; they didn’t seem to have a massive organized slave trade industry.

[@valentineiocosvs4542]

The celts were an entire ethnic group that, at their peak ( 1st Millenium BCE) spanned from Ireland to the Balkans. Within there where hundreds of different tribes. Most celtic tribes were either genocided by the Romans or absorbed into the late Repbublic after the Gaulic Wars (1st century BCE). The visigoths were a single tribe of germanic people, originally settled in todays southern Ukraine. Like other "eastern" germanic tribes they fled the huns and crashed into the empire. These eastern germanic tribes replaced the older germanic tribes like the Marcomanns and the Suebi. So yes, technically they existed at the same time, but the Visigoths truley become a power 30p years after the Gaulic Wars. The celts, like all other ancient populations, had slaves. Both from trade and from wars with other tribes and peoples.

The way I see it, even if all of the things guys like Sowell says are true, I don't think undermining what we know happened to black slaves is ever right. Barbary pirates, tribes in Africa, Dutch, whatever was happening, the fact remains that things happened to black people that were WRONG. I've made some very good friends that are black and I actually listen when they explain things. So the way I see it, even though I've done extensive research and know things about why certain areas were targeted and blah blah, I will never try to "correct" anyone who is black saying they feel a certain way about something.. because at the end of the day, I don't fully know what it's like to have that kind of history and even today have to worry about things that white people never even know is happening.

Lol, he is in fact lying anyway. Sowel isn’t an idiot, he’s a grifter. He knows that when he says “Whites were enslaved by North Africans” that will conjure up images of Americans of American slavery but with the races swapped, you know, the white races nightmare. That’s what he WANTS people to think, it’s purely emotional. What actually happened there was that for centuries, Arab, North African and even White European pirates would raid and pillage the Mediterranean. When they took captives, they sold them, largely to Arab Ottomans, and not Black Africans. Why would they, Black Africans largely enslaved other different ethnic groups of Africans, and participated in Triangular trade. So most of the Barbary pirates captives went to the Arab or Turkish Ottoman kingdoms. Which as Bill has shown, they didn’t radicalize slavery to the same degree, or practice chattel slavery. Sowell’s being vague deliberately to conjure up images of “Well actually Black peoples also imposed chattel slavery on Whites at the time, so really everyone was doing it, don’t think about to do hard”, which is a lie, a lie he most certainly doesn’t believe, and a lie he wants white people to believe and not think about how stupid it is.

My mom taught Me We've been Hating on each other ever since Cain Murdered his own Brother for not Being Like Him. Abel chose too Live The Complete Way in which God has asked His Children to Live. Cain said No, Abel said Yes. Thus hating one's Brother or one's Sister that's the essence of Bigotry Racism Its Hating someone for Being different.

[@liu3chan]

Cain offered vegetables to god but our all loving god wanted animals to suffer for his amusement so Cain got rejected and Abel provided animals and that made Cain jealous.

[@jaggg.3821]

@@liu3chan the sacrifice symbolized Christ dying on The Cross; it wasn't for amusement, sacrificing a lamb without blemish Abel understood the consequences of Sin and that through the sacrifice of what Christ would one day up on The Cross would subsequently Redeem us from Sin. God isn't going too accept and Action that is half done in worshipping Him; if you wish to follow Him, it has to be All the way with The Lord No short cut's. The prophet Samuel in 1st Samuel told King Saul 1st King of Israel that God favored Obedience more so than all The Sacrifice in the World. Moses in Deuteronomy reminding The Israelites while leading Israel too The Promised Land; doest not know thou shalt not tempt The Lord? Cain was unwillingly to go that route in life; so like People today He arose in anger because Abel was willing to obey God instead of His gospel on life in keeping relationship with God. All thing's making Him the center of the Earth, Cain committed The First recorded Genocide as well. God repaid Him Back for that crime His Ancestor's upped and got wiped out in "The Great Flood". Abel dying without having a Family a Bloodline; His legacy of dying for and speaking The Truth was gifted too Ham The middle child of Noah. That inheritance of Abel Martyrdom.

[@jaggg.3821]

@@liu3chan The Lord told Adam and Eve as disappointed He was of them Sinning by breaking his only Rule still in Eden right before being driven out that A Redeemer would come. This was taught from dad and Mom (Adam and Eve), too both of their children Cain and Abel. Adam and Eve altered Us considerably that's why people prefer to reject The Bible because of its teaching's regarding Sin. We're formed in the womb we inherit the physical/Mental/Emotional/psychological/Spiritual consequence of Sin. It's in Genesis chapter 3 as The Fall in Eden just transpired and God addresses The Serpent First (that's significant), Eve next, Adam 3rd. That is when God first prophecies of Jesus coming too Redeem People. The same prophecy in Genesis chapter 3; comes up once more in Genesis chapter 11as Abraham's testimony unfolds with God telling him that He will bless those who bless him and curse those who curse him and all the Nation's of The Earth Shall be Blessed again reference to Christ arrival. Once Gospel of Matthew begins John the Baptist admonishes The Clergy of His Day; The Sanhedrin to Not think of Themselves as children of Abraham, for I tell you God can raise up these Rock's and they'll be Children of Abraham.

Great notes on Greece. Years later Rome would be cool with Black citizens and they really scrambled the racial notion of slavery. They made slaves of any people they conquered. And they conquered Europe North Africa and most of the Middle East. Nice one referencing de Las Casas and Sepulveda. Great catch w Ham & kush. Also a regular curse in the Bible was making people suddenly white as snow

The Greeks especially of the classical era (the only part I studied at UNI) way before Aristotle, to them a slave was basically anyone not allowed to vote. Slaves were wealthy bankers, physicians, they were at every level of society not just servants or being whipped in salt mines. Non Greeks were barbarians but slaves were often other Greeks. I get that Arabs were reading Aristotle but by classical Greek standards slavery is still alive today, not just the obvious use of prisoners but anyone with a wage who doesn't vote. Alexander regretted the destruction of Persepolis and was generally pretty inclusive adopting the traditions and customs of the countries he conquered he was not by any measure "genocidal".

[@KidGimmick]

Sowell was correct. I’m not assuming malicious intent on your part. The Americas is referring to the continents of North and South America and the Caribbeans. Only about 388k slaves landed in the United States. Just an early observation in the video. I’m enjoying your perspective for the most part though.

[@lilbilliam]

The problem is he misrepresents that statistic ad though to imply that was the height of chattel slavery in the US. In 1860, almosr 50 years after the slave trade had been abolished mind you, the number in the US alone was 3 million
