Slave owners are of every race and color. My own grandfather from Ireland came here in 1901 and was bought by a plantation owner on the docks outside of New Orleans. None of us today were a slave or a slave owner. Holding to some kind of past grievance only keeps hatred and bitterness in ones heart.

Irish were never Slaves under Generational Chattel Slavery. After Bacon’s Rebellion, many Irish became Plantation Overseers and Slave Patrolmen. Hence why the Irish are generations deep from the inception of the American Police Fraternal.

My great-great-great? grandfather was an indentured servant in the mid 1700's. He went on to have a plot of land in the Carolina's after he was "released" from his "servitude", and he "might" have "owned" some slaves (although I don't think they were all black if he did). From what I can see from the Census records, those people chose to stay and work for him. If my family had gone back to Germany, GB, or Denmark/Sweden/Finland, or South America, what would their life be today (what would the slave's life be like today considering they were already slaves on another continent)? A big chunk of us in the US today came here to escape some form of slavery (some forcefully, some voluntarily, some from our neighbors). Peace, Love!!

Slavery is not about skin colour or racism, it's mainly about money and greed. I have been told that in the years 1500s, one third of the inhabitants of Lisbon (Portugal) had African blood in their veins, because wealthy slave dealers were mostly Africans or Arabs , Europeans at the time never dare enter the Africa forests or savannahs . By the way, "slave" means "free" or "brave" like in "Slava Ukraina" : the slavic tribes were always fighting each other, making them easy preys , hence the name for an unwilling servant ; African Black slaves were then an exotic and expensive "item", only available for rich people. It's strange to see African people turning toward Islam, when you know that Arabs were the biggest slave dealers, but they did not buy slaves, they took Africans as prisoners and the Coran says you can use a war prisoner as your slave. Europeans made money in "triangular trade" : they came in African ports to buy or exchange slaves , send them to colonies against exotic goods and spices, and made their fortune by selling these goods back in Europe . Buying and selling African slaves by itself was not worth the investment. The thing is that these traders kept books that still exist in Bordeaux (France) and other european countries, but the Arab and African dealers left no trace of their business.

We often hear the tired refrain that Africa somehow "benefited" from European colonization, as if the imposition of foreign rule, the theft of resources, and the deliberate underdevelopment were somehow gifts to the continent. This argument is not only deeply flawed but also reveals a disturbing ignorance of history. The truth is, we do not-and cannot-know how Africa would have developed without the violent interference of colonization. To claim otherwise is to ignore the agency of African societies, the rich histories of trade, art, governance, and science that were flourishing long before Europeans set foot on the continent. It's to pretend that Europe, which itself was embroiled in centuries of bloody conflict, magically became a civilizing force in Africa. Let's take a look at the context that Europe conveniently forgets when it casts itself as the "savior" of Africa. Europe was not exactly a bastion of peace and prosperity before it colonized the world. For centuries, European countries were at each other's throats, engaged in brutal wars that wiped out millions. The Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) alone caused an estimated 8 million deaths, while the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) claimed another 3.5 million lives. Fast forward to the 20th century, and the carnage only escalates: World War I resulted in over 16 million deaths, and World War II saw a staggering 70 to 85 million people perish. These are numbers we know, but let’s consider what we don’t: How might Africa have evolved had it not been subjected to the same European aggression, violence, and exploitation that Europe inflicted upon itself? Africa's potential for self-determination was systematically dismantled by colonization. Entire civilizations were destabilized or destroyed; their economies restructured for the sole benefit of the colonizers. Kingdoms like Benin, Mali, and Great Zimbabwe-known for their complex societies, trade networks, and cultural achievements-were brought to their knees by European greed. These were not societies in need of "saving." They were sovereign nations that had their own trajectories, their own forms of governance, trade, and innovation, and yet they were derailed by a European project of conquest, enslavement, and exploitation. ### Human Cost of British Colonialism in Africa The scale of devastation brought upon Africa by British colonialism alone is staggering. Historical data indicates that British colonial rule led to the deaths of millions of indigenous Africans, not just through direct violence but also through the structural violence of policies that led to starvation, disease, and displacement. 1. **Congo Free State (1885-1908)**: Though technically under the control of King Leopold II of Belgium, the Congo Free State is often cited as one of the most brutal examples of European colonial exploitation. Over 10 million Congolese people are estimated to have died due to forced labor, starvation, and systemic violence during this period. Britain, complicit in allowing Leopold's reign of terror, did nothing to stop it. This scale of loss is not just a number; it represents the obliteration of entire communities, languages, cultures, and ways of life. 2. **Kenya**: During the Mau Mau uprising (1952-1960), British colonial forces engaged in a systematic campaign of torture, rape, detention, and execution against the Kikuyu people in Kenya. Estimates suggest that at least 90,000 Kenyans were killed or executed, while 160,000 were detained under inhumane conditions. Yet, the psychological and social damage of this brutal period extends far beyond the numbers-a trauma inflicted upon generations. 3. **South Africa**: Under British rule, South Africa saw a series of genocidal actions, including the deliberate extermination of indigenous communities such as the San and KhoiKhoi during the 18th and 19th centuries. The British colonial forces employed “scorched earth” policies during the Boer War (1899-1902), leading to the deaths of over 26,000 Afrikaner women and children in concentration camps, as well as an unknown number of Black South Africans who were similarly imprisoned and subjected to appalling conditions. 4. **Nigeria**: The British colonization of Nigeria led to numerous punitive expeditions, with tens of thousands of Nigerians killed in direct military confrontations. Moreover, Britain's divide-and-rule tactics stoked ethnic tensions that have led to long-standing conflicts. The British extracted resources, disrupted local economies, and imposed foreign governance structures that have left lasting scars on Nigerian society. ### Colonization’s Broader Human Toll British colonialism was not limited to these infamous cases. The ripple effects of British imperialism led to the deaths of countless indigenous people across Africa, often through less direct means-like famine, which followed forced cash crop cultivation that replaced subsistence farming. In the Bengal Famine of 1943, a colonial policy diverted grain from starving Indians to British troops, leading to an estimated 3 million deaths. Similar policies were enacted in African colonies, resulting in mass starvation and death. But let's be clear: The most profound violence of colonization was not just the physical annihilation of human lives but the destruction of cultures, languages, religions, and social structures. Colonization erased or undermined countless indigenous forms of governance, education, and social cohesion, leaving a legacy of fractured societies and perpetual instability. ### The Modern-Day Consequences: Immigration and Instability Now, let's connect the dots to today. The same European powers that colonized and looted Africa for centuries now bemoan the influx of immigrants and refugees, fleeing conditions that Europe itself had a massive hand in creating. From destabilized governments to broken economies, the root causes of migration from Africa to Europe can often be traced back to the legacies of colonial rule. The irony is staggering: The very nations that dismembered Africa's path to development now claim moral outrage over the inevitable consequences of their actions. So, when Britain and other European countries attempt to whitewash their colonial past and portray themselves as the champions of abolition or development, they ignore a fundamental truth: We do not-and cannot-know how Africa would have thrived without the scars of colonization. Europe’s violent interference deprived Africa of its agency, its possibilities, and its right to determine its own future. And the idea that Britain, after centuries of colonial exploitation, now deserves credit for stopping a horror it helped orchestrate is not just offensive; it is a rewriting of history that insults the intelligence of anyone who knows the facts. To all who believe the myth of the "civilizing mission": save your breath. History is not on your side. The world remembers, even when you choose not to.

[@bug-lf4sg]

When you hear something from either side , you should do your research. This way you can have your own educated opinion rather than the words of others. Totally agree with you.

[@virginialauderdale767]

Please watch Thomas sowell he is brilliant and a treasure.

[@dalmac5978]

Sowell is deceptive and dishonest. He pushes a version of revisionist history that conservatives love, but it’s not true.

Great conversation! Looking forward to more of your content.

Your words at the end are why I'm subbing. I agree 100.

[@MICHAEL-tz9ni]

there were no black union slaves, there were however black commercial slave owners in the south who fought for the south. Black northerners were prohibited from being in the army untill February of 1863, and it was an all volinteer unit

[@CherokeeBird]

My dad is Cherokee/Shawnee and my mother is white. Looking into my ancestry was shocking. I have Irish ancestors who were enslaved here. One died in a Mulatto breeding house. On my Native side, my 6th great grandmother owned 6 slaves, 2 Irish and 4 African. They went on the trail of tears with her. I also have a 6th great grandfather who was a black Conquistador. He owned slaves. Most of my white ancestors were poor farmers in the South. Only the very rich owned slaves.

[@Name-nq7tj]

I'm not sure if you've reacted to it already or not but thomas sowell has has great videos on this subject.

[@WilliamCoyle-ll6bq]

This is the first time I've ever viewed your channel and I want to say I don't know your name but the guy on the right when asked what do you think about this said I would like to look into it I would like to do more research that guy gave the most intelligent answer to that question. Because it means he is willing to look into it and even if he doesn't like the answer that he finds he will be able to make an educated decision. It's very rare today that you find someone who doesn't just take something at face value no matter how credible the source in Kingston is a very credible source she's really all about the truth but it never hurts to double-check or just verify for yourself what somebody says. So good on you sir for being willing to look into it and being open-minded enough to find out for yourself. When I was looking into this I never knew that there were thousands of commercial slave owners that were black and also fought for the Confederate states.

[@sarah-janegarnell9894]

If it took al of us - WTF are ya all constantly blaming white folk for every transgression ever existing. To the dude in green - hey man hear but ya, 5% involved or not wanting to be involved doesn't equate to equality and with Candace a little of understanding wouldn't hurt. ROFLMAO - Dive deeper - fella don't like facts between the eyes. Look at Africa dude then expand out - you'd be surprised. Doing everything to CYA in a false precept.

[@kristinmead9996]

Gentlemen, I appreciate you. Very thoughtful, thank you.

[@_Pam_3.14]

Definitely, as other mentions, Thomas Sowell. (Sorry if I spelled his name incorrectly). Also, definitely look into these names Anthony Johnson, Elizabeth Frazer Skelton, William Ellison, John Carruthers Stanly, Antoine Dubuclet, Marie Thérèse Metoyer just to name a few... I still stand with slavery is and never will be ok! We are all human, and I never will think its ok, but I am one of many that eyes and ears are more open to the truths we've all been taught to not see or hear. Thank you for another great reaction and commentary!

The fact that people don’t know history is what’s wrong with this world and why we are doomed to repeat and repeat. Slavery has been with us ever since greed and power was a motivator to subjugate others.

Its always been about money and who is weaker point blank

[@RobRochon]

When Candace Owens put the "White Lives Matter" t-shirt on, she wasn't trying to pump up white lives. She was making a point that isolating races is divisive. She agrees with you that "All Lives Matter".

[@gabeenri2146]

Just for context. Of the estimated 360,000 Union death, black Union solders deaths are estimated at 40,000, leaving 320,000 deaths were white Union soldiers. True that the whites didn’t do it alone, but there was no way for the blacks to do it alone given that they just didn’t have the numbers compared to the 280,000 Confederate solder deaths.

My only advice to you is to read for yourself different academic perspectives on these issues. Both right and left love to twist facts for their narrative.

Most sane comment on here. Dont let taking heads shape your understanding of the world. Hear something? Go research it (responsibly). If you don’t care enough to research it, you don’t care enough to talk about it.

Those books are all written by people with their own view. All you can do is learn to take the facts out of the opinion. It’s a useful skill that everyone should learn.

[@belindakennedy5828]

Slavery is as old as grass,no one can blame one race on starting slavery because there is no proof of the very first act of slavery because folks could not read and write and by the time reading and writing did occur slavery had already been part of everyday life so was not that important to mention that came later in the likes of records of trade or conquest when leaders would boost about how many slaves they took etc,the bible even mentions slavery.

[@dalmac5978]

Also, remember that PragerU is not a University, their name is part of the deception, rather, they’re a conservative propaganda outlet. You’re not getting history here, you’re getting propaganda. This is one of the most highly deceptive videos out there. Serious gaslighting.

The black people I know, some from childhood, do not recognise racism, here just outside London. I am 56 years old and have been given huge hugs and and high fives from black friends all my adult life. No doubt there are some racist people, on both sides, but the vast silent majority ain't.

[@internetpolice1166]

Also many slaves were shipped to South America. There is a large history of Hispanic slaveowners of African slaves and yet almost none of that is talked about today. If white people are guilty by ancestral blood than so are Hispanics and it doesn't matter which Hispanics just like it doesn't matter which white people. If we are going just by skin color as we seem to do, than brown skin is guilty of holding African slaves as well, but somehow they've managed to squeeze themselves in under America's victimhood banner. It's all such a spit in the face to MLK who famously said to judge a man by the content of their character and not by their skin color. We do the exact opposite yet celebrate the words of MLK. Irony is a hell of a thing. Another thing which was slightly touched on was African Arab slaveholders. During the Barbary Slave Treaty something like 2-3 million white Europeans where enslaved by African Arabs otherwise known in the 21st century as...black people since we are dumbing everything down to just skin color. So the question is....where is all white contempt against black people for their ancestors possibly being enslaved by someone in their ancestral tree? How about we just don't play this game of blame and base people on who they are today in this moment instead of one of their ancestors who may or may not have had anything to do with slavery. People forget...slavery was a rich man's game in America. It wasn't poor or middle class white people who owned slaves. It was the rich people whom owned plantations.

The West Africa slave trade was outlawed in the US in 1808, more than half a century before the Civil War even began. However the slave trade to South America continued long after that despite efforts by the British and American navies to stop the trade.

[@suffersystemstudios]

I could never pretend to put myself in the shoes of someone else and completely understand what another person has or goes through, but thankfully these types of discussions are extremely important, it starts your brain to think, and thinking and gathering your own information is sadly a missing element in today's society. No race is guiltless, but together we can come together and unite. It is not hard to be a good person, and my one motto in life is do the best you can, at the end of the day that is all someone can ask of you. Just do what you can and be the best person you can be.
