100% They don’t talk about the millions of white European’s enslaved by the Muslim Barbary pirates, who were African.

[@danor6812]

The European slave traders didn't want to leave the ships. Because there was no cure for malaria or the other disease's that they encountered there. It would be a lot of work to track down potential slaves and get them onto the ships. It was easier to buy them from other blacks. Which they did. They actually started buying slaves from countries in the middle east before they cut out the middle man and went to the African villages to buy them from other Africans.

[@tiaanbasson9092]

They also don't talk about how the Arabs had the largest slave trade until Britain and the U.S's naval fleets took it on. There is almost never mention of how many white people owned slaves, majority didn't. Also literally never hear these "woke" people talk about modern day slavery still taking place in Africa, but I guess they need those children to mine the resources for their mobile phone batteries. [EDIT] Commented before watching the video, seem he brought it up anyways.

[@mikeray9933]

The extent to which black tribes sold Africans to Europeans for slave trade was marginal at best.. Europeans owned all the ships, controlled all the shipping of slaves, and then created a form of chattel slavery which was a racialized, perpetual, hereditary form of slavery specifically for people of African descent which was, In my opinion the most brutal type of slavery in human history. Yeah, that part somehow doesn't get mentioned enough either.

Turks nowadays are Greek/Russian/Anatolian. What happened to a thousand years of black slave trade? WHERE are their children? The castration operation may have offed two out of every three who underwent it. Use of massive numbers of black slaves for agriculture resulted in a massive slave revolt. Slave soldiers were used all over the Arab world. The Turks' elite troops were Slavs and Greeks enslaved as children. Black slave troops were used in Spain and North Africa but not elsewhere, not in big numbers. My feeling is that you are right and most black slaves that ended east of Egypt were castrated.

The current state in my country is so appalling that you have taxation without representation. Where political catels plunder the country without without mercy or thoughts to the common man who toils without complaints. Its only in Nigeria you hear the saying "suffering and smiling" as Fela Kuti sang. The recent abuse to Nigerians is the new so called Cybersecurity levy which charges 0.5% of any transacted amount. I leave the rest to your imagination to calculate the compound taxation on a given amount being transferred multiple times. The sad part is the money derived does not go to the state account but to an unaccountable political organization. In Nigeria, the police and military even coordinates more robbery and kidnapping at the same time disarming the population of any form of self defense. You pay the armed police to get personal security if you can afford it. If you need running water in your tap, you have to drill bore holes, if you need electricity you have to buy diesel generator, if you need job you have to own your own business where you have to pay exorbitant tax to the street thugs, local, state and Federal government. All without basic utilities and security feom the state. Yes, would prefer to remain under colonialism at least it life will be better of.

My ancestors were run out of Ireland by starvation even as England exported food from Ireland to England and other countries. Ethnic cleansing! They came to America with nothing and lived lives of poverty as day laborers. Many signed up to fight the south in the Civil War, not because it was their war but it gave them pay. They were discriminated against here in America for many years. Do I get reparations for their sufferings from England? Can I bring a case of discrimination against the USA? No, and no and they wouldn't want me to be such a weak person making money off their backs. They could have ended up in the workhouses in Ireland and died, but they journeyed on the death ships and made it here. I'm proud to carry their genes and grateful for their endurance through adversity. Stand tall and do your ancestors proud instead of belly aching about the past. The word "slave" comes from "slavic" self reference to the Slavic people of Slovenia and throughout Europe used as slaves by Spanish Muslim community. Is there an ethnic group that hasn't been slaves at one time or another or been subject to ethnic cleansing? Nope! I'm not paying anyone for reparations or getting reparations. Go to school, get the education you need, study, get a job and make something of yourself and honor those that came before you. Period!

You can be modest, polite, and humble and still staunchly defend the greatness your nation has brought to the world. The main problem as I see it with the current moronic zeitgeist of neo-Marxist twits raging through our institutions in the West is not their clamoring over the past sins of the West but their utter and complete neglect of gratitude for all that the West has brought the world. When they talk about how evil Western Capitalism is the reply ought to be “Compared to what?” They will likely blather on about some imaginary Marxist utopia that has never and will never be (yes, Marxism has been tried, and failed). The next reply ought to be, “Right! Feel free to divest yourselves of all the vestiges of Western life and relocate to your favorite Marxist experiment around the world-there are plenty to choose from-and have a go at perfecting your worldview!” They will, of course, punt on that proposition, at which point they ought to be marginalized and ignored until they grow up.

He thought it was actually a good thing. He said if there was a famine they bought the teenagers, leaving enough food for the adults and younger children, if there was a troublemaker in a village that person was sold to the slavers to keep harmony and it prevented wars because of the threat of a captured warrior being sold.

Our government thought that every other nation deserved our money more than us and went out of their way to tax us even more to pay for their vanity project! Two world wars and trillions pounds and let’s not forget how many trillions of dollars our American cousins have been forced to pay to all these ungrateful countries who are now decanting all their criminals in the form of illegal immigration!

The arguments by this historian are infact VERY POWERFUL AND NOT EVEN COMPLETE. In Britain 85% of the British public couldn't even vote until between 1880 and 1920 which means they had no political power even if they had wanted to change anything. On top of that the 'empire' didn't become an empire until the mid to late 1700s. So the British public wouldn't have been aware of there even being an organised empire for more than 150 years let alone the fact apart from the introduction of sugar and tobacco they didn't benefit from the empire AT ALl. The whole narrative surrounding the empire is at best unbelievably inaccurate and at worst a complete and total hoax. The beneficiaries of the empire's wealth were highly specific ruling and merchant elites that at the most represented 15% of the British population if not quite possibly far less. All these things are factually and historically a matter of record and 100% checkable. Most Britons never ventured 30 miles from their homes.
