No offense, but when someone tells me they had no idea that slavery existed before the African/American slave trades then I have to question their school system entirely.
that's the problem when a government runs something. we don't have schools. we have centralized propaganda centers where children are taken from their parents and told what to believe, which is determined by consensus of a few individuals in the country's capital.
Imagine how some of us feel who did at least know better, but somehow our systems have been turned upside down recently with things like 1691 propaganda.
you do right to question the schools / education system because it is one of the most insidious purveyors of false narrative, and that's a euphemism if you didn't notice ! - and it's global ???

right? i learned all this in grade school. i just don't understand how this isn't common knowledge. it has to be a purposeful suppression of knowledge. gotta be an American thing or something the lefties there are so caught up on race , I dunno i grew up in Canada in the 80's , i wonder if they are excluding this from our schools now as well. how do they even teach basic history without talking about slavery and ancient civilizations?
It’s scary if ur saying this as a professor, sure th British were the first to stop doing slavery because u can only be the ones to stop it if ur currently doing it, but other places just didn’t haven’t it at all be cause they weren’t pieces of shit
Well the British have some evil in power to. But this elite league of nations that want to enslave the world will never go away. It will never be over, this is something That has to be destroyed. It baffles me that knowone has declared war on who's behind all this! This has to be done. War must be declared on the CDC, CHINA or anybody shouldn't be allowed in the country. Putin is not our enemy. Ukraine is the peoples enemy biolabs used against us discovered by Putin, And bank accounts also discovered by Putin belongings to soros' Bidens, and Clinton's. This is the bottom line we have a govt that has made war with it's people. You are now absolved of any obedience to your govt from that point,. According to your constitution. It is your duty to remove these people by any means necessary. And nobody seems to have it in them to do so. Eventually it comes down to Either do it or suffer the consequences. If Trump doesn't get back in office this time your freedom is done and over with. This country and probably your existence is finished. Fight or flight. What's it gonna be? When they come for your guns, do NOT surrender your guns. This was made off limits to govt understood? Freedom has a price And that's sacrifice!
I knew this decades ago after learning it in school in England. But I have met young people who actually believe that slavery began with the Atlantic slave trade, and no amount of discussion could shift their belief. The lies told to us as children are the ones that are the hardest to correct. And it’s hard to hear that you have been believing a lie.
I was also taught this in school and I live in England, I was also taught about slavery which happened early on in our history which for us was banned earlier than most countries. There is plenty of history books written before I was born and I’m in my 60s chronicling the history of slavery. If your not sure on the history of slavery than don’t learn it from CZcams as you get a biased version, pick up some history books and read. Books that were wrote around the time it was happening, we have the doomsday book wrote in 1086 which surveyed England and its people and it was because of this that started the end of slavery in England.
Who gives a hoot where it started? The issue is how they treated the slaves and even how they treated black people after slavery ended what is wrong with you people?
I hear you, and it's been like this a long long time. The evil was firmly rooted from the very beginning. And it's always been democrat mentality. Did you know not one republican owned a slave? Not one ever! Feel free to look that up. That says a lot about republicans morals and character. And it matters where it started, you have to get to the point of disturbance to stop the ripples.
@@itsjustbrenda6280 My people were enslaved by the Romans, the Vikings and the Normans. At some point we need to move on otherwise the grudges will continue FOR EVER. My family are from the East Coast of England, from where many of the sailors for the West Africa Squadron were recruited. My grandparents remembered grandfathers and uncles who served. We were a poor family and never held any slaves. We own no debt and if we did, it has been paid.
I grew up in Baltimore, MD, USA. I now live in Australia. My family can trace our family tree, on my mothers' side, to Ghana. Before that, we have no idea where our ancestors were from, because the slave traders sent my ancestors to Ghana to be sold. I learned all of the history included in this video in school as a child, I don't know why they stopped teaching these things in schools. These facts don't diminish the evils of slavery in North America, they just put them into context in global human history.
They stopped teaching this information to promote racial animosity in order to maintain control. It is much harder to lead a revolution if the people are allowed to learn the truth and form their own opinions. The information that Candice provided is consistent with what I was taught fifty years ago. The practice of slavery is a disease that destroys both the slave and master. It is an evil pestilence that must be fought wherever it sprouts and takes root. While England, France, and America have outlawed slavery, the practice of slavery still exist in those and other countries worldwide. I support making slavery a capital offense and that includes any trafficking of human beings regardless of Race, Sex, Age, or Ethnicity.
Saudi Arabia didn't outlaw slavery until 1964. Mauritania finally abolished slavery in 1981 but, didn't make slavery a crime until 2007. Breaks my heart.
I have known this for over 30 years because I actually study history and have spent thousands of hours in the archives reading old documents. Too bad so many do not.
@@konnykontant You are correct. Candace got a couple minor details wrong though. The European Quakers were among the first to publicly start speaking out against slavery in 1764. DENMARK, not Britain abolished slavery first (1792). The Portuguese were the first European nation to dive into the African slave trade; this would be about 1475. King Edward IV of England kept England out of it. There really was no need until sugar cane began to be harvested in large quantities in Britain's colonies from the 1600's onward. Africans were the lynch pin of the entire African slave trade. African tribes would sell their criminals and POW's to slave merchants, so the descendants of slaves are from the stock of people who either broke the law or were captured in battle. Africans were selling their people to Muslims from the 7th century onward. Muslims were also capturing Europeans and forcing them into slavery. For anyone who simply blames Whites for slavery, that individual is really showing their ignorance on the topic.
My issue with this is that it tries to downplay American slavery. Any kind of slavery is wrong. But it also belongs to history that the US kept slavery alive long after most developed nations had abolished it. They had a civil war about for crying out loud. Just a Europeans two cents..
In Canada we learn this stuff in school. There is a mini series called the Book of Negros based on the book written by an amazing African woman who talks about her experience with slavery and about the British abolitionists. She was instrumental in their efforts to outlaw slavery. 🖖🏻🇨🇦
Yeha in Italy we learn this in school aswell, at least in my time. I wonder if they still teach this, because a lot of people are trying to manipulate history for political reasons
The first owner of slaves was the leaders of the African tribes. With time, the number of slaves owned by the kings and tribal leaders in Africa increased, and unwanted slaves began to be sold to the countries of the world through the coordination of the British naval fleet ..... etc. For example, all blacks in America without exception, unfortunately, their ancestors are slaves. They are not wanted by the tribal leaders in Africa. Indeed, the one who named the American slave to the cotton picker is the African. This is also why the African does not respect the American slave and views him as inferior.
More I watch these reactions, more I can't understand what people study in school (at this point I have to think that only we Europeans study history?). It's the English language itself that tells you everything: Slaves (ie people in slavery), Slavs (ie Eastern European ethnic group ... WHITE people). You don't have to be a genius to understand it, yet I'm watching these reactions and there is not a single person who says: "yes, I know, I studied it in school" (ie what I did in primary school) or "yes, I know that". It's all too absurd, this stuff it makes no sense.
I couldn’t agree with you more! The level of ignorance is horrifying. Does no-one study elementary history in the USA? Do none of the bible thumpers read the bible? Does no-one have the curiosity to look into these matters?
Europeans don't have the Marxist Democrat run public school system controlled by Marxist teachers union teaching your kids or should I say indoctrinating your kids like we have in America right now.
@@celiabarkerplease stop talking about things you know nothing about. The “Bible thumpers’ who read the Bible are not the ones who do not know about the history of slavery. The neo liberals run everything now and control the school system. It’s been a crap show in America ever since..and getting worse.
what history are you talking about? there are no truth in American history about slavery, unless you want the white wash version. so all you who walking around saying that white and every nation had been in slavery needs to know the real truth...no nation had never been in the slavery that black people been in and still up to this day been oppress. listening to people such as the like of Candice who think they know what they're talking about, yet know nothing.
@@nealgrimes4382 Nothing he said was racist. I find it very offensive when black people like you casually throw around the word ‘racist’ in a language that my ancestors invented.
I don't think people understand that it was the Western World with all of its power and riches that sacrificed so much to end slavery. The British, French (and all related colonial soldiers/sailors) and American soldiers and sailors who died fighting to end slavery are largely forgotten about by modern academics who want to teach a twisted and distorted view of slavery.
It’s amazing and wonderful to see especially the young woman on the right who appears to be totally taking all this information in it’s great to see people being educated keep it up….
You go Candice ! I get so tired of black people that know everything trying to make me feel guilty for all the slaves that I personally owned back in 1800.
@phoebecaulfield4062 yeah, that's an extremely good question. I've had so many come up to me and start accusing me as if they had it documented in writing as to the full slave - owning history of my family ( which of course is zero ) How many did THEIR family own?
Starr, isn't it great to hear someone such as Candace Owens state facts unlike others whom gives their opinion which is always just that, their opinion. You can't go wrong telling the truth or doing what's right for everyone.
@@msbeabea7913 Texas was part of Mexico and about 5000 slaves until 1845 when it became part of the U.S.. The Spanish were the first to bring slaves to the U.S. and across the Caribbean. Owens was correct that Blacks captured and sold other blacks, Africa was the beginning os slavery as we know it. The Spanish were barbarians and thieves, just my opinion.
@@msbeabea7913 My history book says and I quote: "The Mexican Congress fully outlawed slavery in 1837," That is four years after the British banned it outright. Mexico may have started the ban sooner but did not ban it outright until after the British banned it.
Slavery has been an exclusively African-Asian affair for decades, in which the Western world only participated for a relatively short period of just under 300 years before they correctly concluded that slavery is a barbaric thing and must be stopped. Meanwhile, in 2023 there are more slaves in Africa and Asia than ever. Maybe better to focus on that than make it a revenue model for a few smart guys here
@@MaiNaime-pk6hq I am biracial myself, but i'm fed up with all those "Gutmensch" people trying to simplify history. I'm also fed up with people trying to earn money out of past slavery while looking back from present slavery in Africa and Asia
First of all Africans are highly educated people they also are really into history as an Uber driver I spend my retired days driving all kinds of people all over the place and whenever I get Africans in my car it's like going to the university and getting an education because they are on top of their knowledge as far as it pertains to being in the know!
You should be ashamed that you didn’t learn this on your own either. You realize how ridiculous that sounds? Put the blame on those who should have educated them when they were young
Every single human being regardless of race, creed, or color is capable of doing horrible things to other human beings. There's blood on the hands of every race. But every race, creed and color is also capable of doing good things for other human beings. Maybe we should all start focusing on that.
I took it as her shaking her head because the information referred to something bad, not disagreeing that it was factual. After all, at 7:34 she seemed to be agreeing that the African tribes were already enslaving each other before the Whites arrived.
She’s not shaking her head in disagreement but in the sense that it’s a shame about all the lies that have persisted. It’s very clear she doesn’t agree with it.
@@penname5766 I hope your interpretation is true. As Candace says, it's not a case of 'white people are better than everyone', because like everyone else, they're just people. It's just a historical reality that the Brits ended slavery. By accepting this reality, we can all move forward.
why is she shakin her head ? does she not want to hear the truth ? Is it easier to go through life resenting white people because you were told lies ? welcome to the real world !
It's so sad that in Haïti, the land where slaves made a revolution and one of the first country to abolish slavery, you can still find domestic slave kids (Restavek). It's full black on black. When you learn history in full scope, you quickly see every race is full of horrible people, and good people too. Slavery is not exactly racial, it's about PROFIT, cruel exploitation of the weakest people. Racism was just a tool to morally justify it against those who wanted to abolish.
Well done for introducing your sisters to the truth. CO's video is as good a place as any to start and her video, although very much aimed at the USA market, is as good a short summary as any.
Britain didn't just abolish slavery in all parts of the world she controlled, she set the Royal Navy on the rest of the world, until they fell in line. Look into the history of the Royal Navy's West Africa Squadron.
It is so weird to see so many people not knowing about this. It is taught here in schools in europe. If I was told to be enraged about something, I would first want to know everything about it.
Here is another thing that angers me about black people. YES I am sayng it. Some will complain that because their forbearers were slaves they do not know their ancestry. It is true - blacks do not know their ancestry but slavery is not the reason. Africans never kept any records to speak of so even those not captured into slavery - they don't know either! In fact at least those brought to European nations will have a documented record (made by Whites) from about the 1840's onward whereas I have met a number of Africans who know nothing prior to 1900. Europeans kept excellent records. That is not true for many other cultures around the world.
I don't understand why this video comes as such a surprise. That is all common knowledge that I thought everyone already knew. Or maybe I'm the only one who paid attention in history class.🤔
slavery has existed since the dawn of time, when one tribe of cavemen conquered another and used those who survived as slaves. it has never been a matter of skin colour, religion, gender or anything else, it has always been a matter of money and before the invention of these, however for profit.
Efunroye Tinubu (c. 1810 - 1887), born Ẹfúnpọ̀róyè Ọ̀ṣuntinúbú,[1] was a powerful Yoruba female aristocrat, merchant, and slave trader in pre-colonial and colonial Nigeria. There is a statute of her in Lagos.
In 1792, Denmark became the first colonial power to abolish slavery announcing an end to the practice in 1803 and setting a standard for all colonial powers to follow. Mauritania was the last country to officially abolish slavery in 1981
Hi there ! As a white french male I'm a little bit uncomfortable with the sentence : "White people have ended slavery". Why ? Because slavery is still active in some parts of the world. What we did was to make slavery "universally" reprehensible by law and morally bad human behavior. Surely it helped a lot and made human being more conscious but it doesn't erase the fact that people of white ethnicites (governement, businessmen and members of a religion) did commit atrocities. It's the same thing for murder, incest, rape etc. You still can do it but you will face consequences if caught and therefore be judge. Also the victims can be acknowleged (for some countries maybe not but let's hope it will be the case in the future). That was my two cents on the matter. Take care and have a nice day everyone!
As someone who grew up as the internet developed and did a lot of history learning on my free time I thought this was common knowledge . Its terrible what happened to anyone who was a slave but it's kind of ignorant to claim only white people took part in it. Great video!
@@msbeabea7913kinda missed the point. The point was that slavery was not created in the 1800’s and that slavery in and of itself did not care about skin color
@@msbeabea7913 Muslims enslaved Slaves( whites) in their thousands as well as Africans( blacks) how is that about colour? Are you offended by the truth? She did not say that whites are good, and everybody else is bad. She mentioned the Romans, who by the way had more white slaves then black, among them Spartacus.
@@msbeabea7913 You missed the point. Candace very specifically countered your argument in the video. She listed examples of a few different non-white slave holders, not to show white as better, but to show that slavery was a universal evil, and shouldn't be attributed exclusively to whites. If it was taught that a certain evil was attributed to only blacks, one would counter with examples of non-blacks doing that evil to show the hypocrisy. That's all Candace was doing, and it's absolutely obvious. Anyone who can't see that need to take their blinders off. She continued with the abolishment of slavery, because that was significant history, and completely contrary to the narrative being taught, just as the rest of it.
I think it's also worth pointing out, that we cannot judge the past, by todays modern standards. If we lived 400 years ago, our lives and understanding of the world would have be so different. I don't think we could even try to imagine how that would have been.
After Great Britain abolished slavery, many sailors and marines of the British Royal Navy died during the decades that they blockaded Africa to prevent boats from collecting slaves.
I'm British and proud of the fact that we ended slavery in our Empire 200 years ago. Peoplewho talk about reparations should go to Africa and look up the ancestors of the BLACK chieftains who captured the slaves in the first place and ask THEM for reparations.
I read the Bible. 3000 years ago, they talk about Abraham having a trusted slave, the book of the law includes information about how to treat slaves. Then there is the letter to Philemon talking about Paul returning Onesimus. Farther back, there are tablets from Mesopotamia regulating slavery. There are extant copies of Roman laws regarding slavery. The Romans were equal opportunity enslavers. So were the Muslims, and they even castrated their male slaves to make better harem guards. And probably to keep the women to themselves.
Around 730 bc , Kush warrior turned the tables on a weakened Egypt and conquered it. This established the black Pharaohs of Kush. They ruled for 60 years. I found this reading about old history. You will find some interesting things reading old history.
I find is somewhat incredible that so many people forget that the Jewish people were held as slaves in Egypt. That was definitely a long time before the African - American slave trade.
Starr, history is just that, it can't be changed and some is just here say. What you and I do today will be history tomorrow. We all should look at how to make the world a better place in the future for all. You Tube and channels such as yours makes one realize we are all the same and makes the world a smaller place so we all understand each other. BTW I have the musket which my third Great Grandfather used in the Civil War fighting the south to end slavery I'm proud to say.
I noticed this trend and issue over twenty years ago. People were starting to try and argue like white people invented slavery and oppressed woman. I knew the truth of how these countries ended slavery, and voted for womans rights, but people wanted to be ignorant about it. Back then schools taught you these things. I was like, okay, so who defeated the white people and changed everything? No one. It was white men that made changes for the better, giving more rights to woman, woman didn't defeat the men, ending slavery, slaves didn't defeat the masters, good people in power did.
Libya is a major exit point for African migrants heading to Europe. International Organization for Migration (IOM) published a report in April 2017 showing that many of the migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa heading to Europe are sold as slaves after being detained by people smugglers or militia groups. African countries south of Libya were targeted for slave trading and transferred to Libyan slave markets instead. According to the victims, the price is higher for migrants with skills like painting and tiling. Slaves are often ransomed to their families and in the meantime until ransom can be paid tortured, forced to work, sometimes to death and eventually executed or left to starve if they can't pay for too long. Women are often raped and used as sex slaves and sold to brothels and private Libyan clients.Many child migrants also suffer from abuse and child rape in Libya
Interesting, only sad the sound in this reaction ain´t good while you talk to each other. Otherwise...i like your channel and i hope you will react to more soon. Love from Sweden
I was Shocked in the 1980's when I met a Beautiful Intelligent Couple from Africa and They Defended Slavery Claiming that God made Some People Slaves . I was Gob Smacked . They claim if You allow the Weak to Grow , Your Society Falls Apart.
I'm glad Owens' lecture is getting a lot of traction. Though keep in mind that not all of it is established fact; some of the points are uncertain and different scholars mention different figures. And it's a bit of a stretch to say that white people were the first to abolish slavery; countries, regions and rulers have done so before at many times throughout history. Though it's certainly true that the west led the push for the universal abolition of slavery throughout the world. For a more in depth look I can recommend Thomas Sowell's excellent book "Black rednecks and white liberals" or several of his essays on the topic (some can be found in that book). What surprises me is the surprise people get when watching this video. When I was in high school (in the Netherlands, in the 80s), all of this and more was covered in history class. I've heard the same from fellow Gen Xers from America. Has education really changed that much, with regards to this topic?
NO, it isn't a stretch to say white people ended slavery. It is historical fact. The brirish empire was the first to abolish slavery and the British people only stopped paying (financially) for the debt they had incurred in doing so in 2015.
@@kp361 Around 2000 years ago, the emperor of the Xin dynasty in China formally abolished slavery, along with a bunch of other reforms. At some point he was killed and the new rulers promptly reinstated slavery. Japan abolished slavery in 1500 or so, although it still existed as a punishment for serious crimes. So no, the UK was not the first.
@@kaasmeester5903 No. In other words, China briefly cooled down on slavery only to get back into it a few years later. That is in no way the same as formally abolishing it (and sticking to that decision, for centuries, right up to the present day, leading to a ripple effect which broke down slavery throughout the entire western world). And you know that those two things are not the same. William the Conqueror abolished slavery in Britain in the 11th century - it doesn't mean he 'ended slavery'. It means one ruler made one ruling in one country. So again, well done Britain! And Japan didnt 'end slavery in the 1500s' if it was 'still used as a punishment'. That would be a bit like saying "I'm against rape, except on Wednesdays." The UK's courageous actions centuries after William the Conqueror's ruling on domestic slavery are what ended the practice of slavery as we know it. Now it only exists still in pockets of Africa and the Middle East (with a fair amount of people trafficking, which is a form of slavery of course, around the world). But people trafficking is an illegal activity. State mandated slavery was ended by the Brits. Live with it.
The British had their Navy patrol the West Africa coast from 1808 to 1867 capturing slave ships and freeing black men and women. 1,600 British sailors perished from fidease, accidents and combat.
Just think and dream about how great we could be if we remember the past and fight against ever going back to it. If we worked together regardless of where our ancestors where from; how great would the world be?
Yes slavery has literally been going on for thousands of years in all parts of the world. Every race practiced it. If I remember right it was specifically Britain that first started to try and stamp out slave ships along the coast of Africa and then after a few years America and more countries in Europe started helping. I believe they spent something like 10 years going up and down the coast capturing every slave ship that they could. And I believe it was all mostly wiped out just after the beginning of the 1900s. Obviously they couldn't get everything but they achieved a big thing
I’m so Mad that this person is spurring this BS. Not only was the bandage terrible and it did happen a long time ago BUT the savagery of Jim Crow and share cropping is very resent. My grandparents and parents were adversely affected by this practice. So yes, I feel the generational effects of the slave trade.
Slavery was literally mentioned in the bible. The greeks.. the romans... pretty much every society going back to the beginning of civilization had some form of slavery. That is common knowledge. The key thing is to be able to distinguish how slavery was legislated, practiced, and enforced in different countries in the world and in different time periods.
No offense, but when someone tells me they had no idea that slavery existed before the African/American slave trades then I have to question their school system entirely.

I grew up in Baltimore, MD, USA. I now live in Australia. My family can trace our family tree, on my mothers' side, to Ghana. Before that, we have no idea where our ancestors were from, because the slave traders sent my ancestors to Ghana to be sold.
I learned all of the history included in this video in school as a child, I don't know why they stopped teaching these things in schools. These facts don't diminish the evils of slavery in North America, they just put them into context in global human history.
They stopped teaching this information to promote racial animosity in order to maintain control. It is much harder to lead a revolution if the people are allowed to learn the truth and form their own opinions. The information that Candice provided is consistent with what I was taught fifty years ago.
The practice of slavery is a disease that destroys both the slave and master. It is an evil pestilence that must be fought wherever it sprouts and takes root. While England, France, and America have outlawed slavery, the practice of slavery still exist in those and other countries worldwide. I support making slavery a capital offense and that includes any trafficking of human beings regardless of Race, Sex, Age, or Ethnicity.
Amen
Because there is no profit in the truth, and a lot in creating white guilt.
Saudi Arabia didn't outlaw slavery until 1964.
Mauritania finally abolished slavery in 1981 but, didn't make slavery a crime until 2007.
Breaks my heart.
Qatar still practices it. In radical muslim nations like Afghanistan and Eritrea all women are slaves.
So the “WHITE SAVIOR” totally True?🤪
Hard facts to hear. Excellent discussion by you ladies.
czcams.com/video/oVvg6xJj5so/video.html
i find it amazing that there are people to this day that dont know the history of slaves and that it was world wide practice.
Thanks for watching this, but the commentary is hard to hear as it must be to having one Mic 🎤
czcams.com/video/oVvg6xJj5so/video.html
Or at least pass the mic over to the person who is speaking.
I have known this for over 30 years because I actually study history and have spent thousands of hours in the archives reading old documents. Too bad so many do not.
This is not taught in most schools anymore, among other things.
@@konnykontant You are correct. Candace got a couple minor details wrong though. The European Quakers were among the first to publicly start speaking out against slavery in 1764. DENMARK, not Britain abolished slavery first (1792). The Portuguese were the first European nation to dive into the African slave trade; this would be about 1475. King Edward IV of England kept England out of it. There really was no need until sugar cane began to be harvested in large quantities in Britain's colonies from the 1600's onward. Africans were the lynch pin of the entire African slave trade. African tribes would sell their criminals and POW's to slave merchants, so the descendants of slaves are from the stock of people who either broke the law or were captured in battle. Africans were selling their people to Muslims from the 7th century onward. Muslims were also capturing Europeans and forcing them into slavery. For anyone who simply blames Whites for slavery, that individual is really showing their ignorance on the topic.
too many people get their schooling via the mainstream media !! need I say anymore ?
@@Firearcher4 In 1792, Denmark provided for abolition in 10 years' time, not immediately, whereas France abolished it immediately in January 1794.
My issue with this is that it tries to downplay American slavery. Any kind of slavery is wrong. But it also belongs to history that the US kept slavery alive long after most developed nations had abolished it. They had a civil war about for crying out loud. Just a Europeans two cents..
In Canada we learn this stuff in school. There is a mini series called the Book of Negros based on the book written by an amazing African woman who talks about her experience with slavery and about the British abolitionists. She was instrumental in their efforts to outlaw slavery. 🖖🏻🇨🇦
czcams.com/video/oVvg6xJj5so/video.html
In europe i learn this in 7th grade too
Yeha in Italy we learn this in school aswell, at least in my time. I wonder if they still teach this, because a lot of people are trying to manipulate history for political reasons
The first owner of slaves was the leaders of the African tribes. With time, the number of slaves owned by the kings and tribal leaders in Africa increased, and unwanted slaves began to be sold to the countries of the world through the coordination of the British naval fleet ..... etc. For example, all blacks in America without exception, unfortunately, their ancestors are slaves. They are not wanted by the tribal leaders in Africa. Indeed, the one who named the American slave to the cotton picker is the African. This is also why the African does not respect the American slave and views him as inferior.
canada here too , wondering how old you are i learned all this in grade school in the 80's
In doing major research she is absolutely right!
Yes, if I keep denying it, the truth will go away and leave me alone.
This is all true. If you want a source look into the works of Dr. Thomas Sowell.
It’s so weird that people don’t know this. I learned this in school in history class when I was pretty young.
I've known this as a child just from reading romance novels and the Bible 🤦🏾♀️
Yes!
More I watch these reactions, more I can't understand what people study in school (at this point I have to think that only we Europeans study history?).
It's the English language itself that tells you everything: Slaves (ie people in slavery), Slavs (ie Eastern European ethnic group ... WHITE people).
You don't have to be a genius to understand it, yet I'm watching these reactions and there is not a single person who says: "yes, I know, I studied it in school" (ie what I did in primary school) or "yes, I know that".
It's all too absurd, this stuff it makes no sense.
I couldn’t agree with you more! The level of ignorance is horrifying. Does no-one study elementary history in the USA? Do none of the bible thumpers read the bible? Does no-one have the curiosity to look into these matters?
Europeans don't have the Marxist Democrat run public school system controlled by Marxist teachers union teaching your kids or should I say indoctrinating your kids like we have in America right now.
@@celiabarkerplease stop talking about things you know nothing about. The “Bible thumpers’ who read the Bible are not the ones who do not know about the history of slavery. The neo liberals run everything now and control the school system. It’s been a crap show in America ever since..and getting worse.
@@celiabarker czcams.com/video/oVvg6xJj5so/video.html
what history are you talking about? there are no truth in American history about slavery, unless you want the white wash version. so all you who walking around saying that white and every nation had been in slavery needs to know the real truth...no nation had never been in the slavery that black people been in and still up to this day been oppress. listening to people such as the like of Candice who think they know what they're talking about, yet know nothing.
I'm not the biggest Candace Owens fan but she is right here no ethnicity is guiltless of slavery.
Awesome job young ladies, love your channel
As a Slav, I find it very offensive when I hear ignorant black people talk about slavery.
I find it offensive when a specific ignorant Slav (you) talk about black people in a racist way.
@@nealgrimes4382
Nothing he said was racist. I find it very offensive when black people like you casually throw around the word ‘racist’ in a language that my ancestors invented.
I don't think people understand that it was the Western World with all of its power and riches that sacrificed so much to end slavery. The British, French (and all related colonial soldiers/sailors) and American soldiers and sailors who died fighting to end slavery are largely forgotten about by modern academics who want to teach a twisted and distorted view of slavery.
White nations went to war with themselves to end slavery, although they let it happen and profited.
It’s amazing and wonderful to see especially the young woman on the right who appears to be totally taking all this information in it’s great to see people being educated keep it up….
Candice, keep PREACHING!!!!!!¡🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
It's wonderful to see these girls learn. They are very open to learning. I am proud of them 👏
You go Candice !
I get so tired of black people that know everything trying to make me feel guilty for all the slaves that I personally owned back in 1800.
@phoebecaulfield4062 yeah, that's an extremely good question.
I've had so many come up to me and start accusing me as if they had it documented in writing as to the full slave - owning history of my family ( which of course is zero )
How many did THEIR family own?
Starr, isn't it great to hear someone such as Candace Owens state facts unlike others whom gives their opinion which is always just that, their opinion. You can't go wrong telling the truth or doing what's right for everyone.
@@msbeabea7913 Texas was part of Mexico and about 5000 slaves until 1845 when it became part of the U.S.. The Spanish were the first to bring slaves to the U.S. and across the Caribbean. Owens was correct that Blacks captured and sold other blacks, Africa was the beginning os slavery as we know it. The Spanish were barbarians and thieves, just my opinion.

@@msbeabea7913 My history book says and I quote:
"The Mexican Congress fully outlawed slavery in 1837," That is four years after the British banned it outright. Mexico may have started the ban sooner but did not ban it outright until after the British banned it.
@@msbeabea7913 Nice deflection
@@Westcountrynordicthey also still had texts and let them bring slaves into Texas from America as long as they swore to the country of Mexico
Slavery has been an exclusively African-Asian affair for decades, in which the Western world only participated for a relatively short period of just under 300 years before they correctly concluded that slavery is a barbaric thing and must be stopped. Meanwhile, in 2023 there are more slaves in Africa and Asia than ever. Maybe better to focus on that than make it a revenue model for a few smart guys here
@@MaiNaime-pk6hq I am biracial myself, but i'm fed up with all those "Gutmensch" people trying to simplify history. I'm also fed up with people trying to earn money out of past slavery while looking back from present slavery in Africa and Asia
Candace Owens is such a light in the dark illuminating facts and logic without making those she educates feel small or stupid.
What surprises me the most is that people do not know about this already!
Yes we did. Thats why no black is owed any money. Greed is their real reason .
First of all Africans are highly educated people they also are really into history as an Uber driver I spend my retired days driving all kinds of people all over the place and whenever I get Africans in my car it's like going to the university and getting an education because they are on top of their knowledge as far as it pertains to being in the know!
They should be ashamed for not learning this on their own.Learned this in HS in the 60s,and from my parents
me too
So you didn't learn it on your own it was taught to you by other people, you should be ashamed of yourself, ( not really )
You should be ashamed that you didn’t learn this on your own either.
You realize how ridiculous that sounds? Put the blame on those who should have educated them when they were young
the look on their faces is priceless when they find out everything is true and what they was told to believe is sad they didnt know before.
Beautiful and smart young women. Keep educating yourselves, knowledge is power and gives you confidence.
Every single human being regardless of race, creed, or color is capable of doing horrible things to other human beings.
There's blood on the hands of every race.
But every race, creed and color is also capable of doing good things for other human beings.
Maybe we should all start focusing on that.
Candace Owens for president!
That black people do not know that it was black people who sold other black people is baffling
Luv this reaction. I watch every chance. Can't wait to see the next one. Hav fun and love you all.
I think all people should learn about their history it will only bring people closer together
2:57 the person in the middle totally disagreed with what Candice said... Showing how lied to people are about the history.
czcams.com/video/oVvg6xJj5so/video.html
I love watching people being woken up and now seeing how politics INFECTS our schools now.
What Candace said is factual. The girl on the middle can shake her head all she likes, but reality is reality.
I took it as her shaking her head because the information referred to something bad, not disagreeing that it was factual. After all, at 7:34 she seemed to be agreeing that the African tribes were already enslaving each other before the Whites arrived.
She’s not shaking her head in disagreement but in the sense that it’s a shame about all the lies that have persisted. It’s very clear she doesn’t agree with it.
@@penname5766 I hope your interpretation is true. As Candace says, it's not a case of 'white people are better than everyone', because like everyone else, they're just people. It's just a historical reality that the Brits ended slavery. By accepting this reality, we can all move forward.
czcams.com/video/oVvg6xJj5so/video.html
why is she shakin her head ? does she not want to hear the truth ? Is it easier to go through life resenting white people because you were told lies ? welcome to the real world !
It's so sad that in Haïti, the land where slaves made a revolution and one of the first country to abolish slavery, you can still find domestic slave kids (Restavek). It's full black on black.
When you learn history in full scope, you quickly see every race is full of horrible people, and good people too. Slavery is not exactly racial, it's about PROFIT, cruel exploitation of the weakest people.
Racism was just a tool to morally justify it against those who wanted to abolish.
Well done for introducing your sisters to the truth. CO's video is as good a place as any to start and her video, although very much aimed at the USA market, is as good a short summary as any.
It is not ended in Africa, there are over 6 millon slaves as today.
Britain didn't just abolish slavery in all parts of the world she controlled, she set the Royal Navy on the rest of the world, until they fell in line. Look into the history of the Royal Navy's West Africa Squadron.
It is so weird to see so many people not knowing about this. It is taught here in schools in europe. If I was told to be enraged about something, I would first want to know everything about it.
Here is another thing that angers me about black people. YES I am sayng it. Some will complain that because their forbearers were slaves they do not know their ancestry. It is true - blacks do not know their ancestry but slavery is not the reason. Africans never kept any records to speak of so even those not captured into slavery - they don't know either! In fact at least those brought to European nations will have a documented record (made by Whites) from about the 1840's onward whereas I have met a number of Africans who know nothing prior to 1900. Europeans kept excellent records. That is not true for many other cultures around the world.
I don't understand why this video comes as such a surprise. That is all common knowledge that I thought everyone already knew. Or maybe I'm the only one who paid attention in history class.🤔
I'm so proud of my country Britain abolishing slavery
slavery has existed since the dawn of time, when one tribe of cavemen conquered another and used those who survived as slaves.
it has never been a matter of skin colour, religion, gender or anything else, it has always been a matter of money and before the invention of these, however for profit.
Efunroye Tinubu (c. 1810 - 1887), born Ẹfúnpọ̀róyè Ọ̀ṣuntinúbú,[1] was a powerful Yoruba female aristocrat, merchant, and slave trader in pre-colonial and colonial Nigeria. There is a statute of her in Lagos.
It's amazing how these truth seeker videos are really spreading out so much more!
In 1792, Denmark became the first colonial power to abolish slavery announcing an end to the practice in 1803 and setting a standard for all colonial powers to follow.
Mauritania was the last country to officially abolish slavery in 1981
I don't know how people think slavery started with Atlantic slave trade. Slavery is as old as farming.
Try " The British Crusade against Slavery " you may find this interesting as part of your research into this part of history.
Hi there !
As a white french male I'm a little bit uncomfortable with the sentence : "White people have ended slavery".
Why ? Because slavery is still active in some parts of the world.
What we did was to make slavery "universally" reprehensible by law and morally bad human behavior.
Surely it helped a lot and made human being more conscious but it doesn't erase the fact that people of white ethnicites (governement, businessmen and members of a religion) did commit atrocities.
It's the same thing for murder, incest, rape etc.
You still can do it but you will face consequences if caught and therefore be judge. Also the victims can be acknowleged (for some countries maybe not but let's hope it will be the case in the future).
That was my two cents on the matter.
Take care and have a nice day everyone!
i can't get over how beautiful these 3 sisters are!!!!. but great vid also
As someone who grew up as the internet developed and did a lot of history learning on my free time I thought this was common knowledge . Its terrible what happened to anyone who was a slave but it's kind of ignorant to claim only white people took part in it. Great video!
@@msbeabea7913kinda missed the point. The point was that slavery was not created in the 1800’s and that slavery in and of itself did not care about skin color
@@msbeabea7913 Muslims enslaved Slaves( whites) in their thousands as well as Africans( blacks) how is that about colour? Are you offended by the truth? She did not say that whites are good, and everybody else is bad. She mentioned the Romans, who by the way had more white slaves then black, among them Spartacus.
@@msbeabea7913 You missed the point. Candace very specifically countered your argument in the video. She listed examples of a few different non-white slave holders, not to show white as better, but to show that slavery was a universal evil, and shouldn't be attributed exclusively to whites. If it was taught that a certain evil was attributed to only blacks, one would counter with examples of non-blacks doing that evil to show the hypocrisy. That's all Candace was doing, and it's absolutely obvious. Anyone who can't see that need to take their blinders off. She continued with the abolishment of slavery, because that was significant history, and completely contrary to the narrative being taught, just as the rest of it.
I think it's also worth pointing out, that we cannot judge the past, by todays modern standards.
If we lived 400 years ago, our lives and understanding of the world would have be so different.
I don't think we could even try to imagine how that would have been.
After Great Britain abolished slavery, many sailors and marines of the British Royal Navy died during the decades that they blockaded Africa to prevent boats from collecting slaves.
Facts facts facts and yet very few people actually are informed about these undisputed facts!
I'm British and proud of the fact that we ended slavery in our Empire 200 years ago. Peoplewho talk about reparations should go to Africa and look up the ancestors of the BLACK chieftains who captured the slaves in the first place and ask THEM for reparations.
They sold them, you enslaved them and their children.
I'm Indian and we learned all these in high school
Love for whites and blacks ❤
In my Central European city, at least 60 Nigerian students are studying to be doctors completely free of charge. but we never had a colony anywhere
This is the difference between the history of the world and the stories of a country. And it's very simplified, for short
I'm glad you girls watched Candice she is awesome and always tells the truth x
I read the Bible. 3000 years ago, they talk about Abraham having a trusted slave, the book of the law includes information about how to treat slaves. Then there is the letter to Philemon talking about Paul returning Onesimus.
Farther back, there are tablets from Mesopotamia regulating slavery.
There are extant copies of Roman laws regarding slavery. The Romans were equal opportunity enslavers. So were the Muslims, and they even castrated their male slaves to make better harem guards. And probably to keep the women to themselves.
Around 730 bc , Kush warrior turned the tables on a weakened Egypt and conquered it. This established the black Pharaohs of Kush. They ruled for 60 years. I found this reading about old history. You will find some interesting things reading old history.
Welcome to the conversation we have all been having for numerous decades now. We have punch and pie.
How is thatnew to anybody? Don't people learn history in school? I knew about all of that when I was 15.
They learn the woke narrative.
Truth be told, the black boy was the first to enslave his Mama
I find is somewhat incredible that so many people forget that the Jewish people were held as slaves in Egypt. That was definitely a long time before the African - American slave trade.
thousands of british sailors died fighting the slave trade and over trillion was spent to free slaves
Slavery was abolished in Ethiopia (Africa) on August 26, 1942.
This used to be taught in school. Unfortunately, today the only thing taught is a one sided narrative.
Starr, history is just that, it can't be changed and some is just here say. What you and I do today will be history tomorrow. We all should look at how to make the world a better place in the future for all. You Tube and channels such as yours makes one realize we are all the same and makes the world a smaller place so we all understand each other. BTW I have the musket which my third Great Grandfather used in the Civil War fighting the south to end slavery I'm proud to say.
I dont know why people are surprised about slavery. Anyone who had enough of common sense could go to ANY library and look it up.
I noticed this trend and issue over twenty years ago. People were starting to try and argue like white people invented slavery and oppressed woman. I knew the truth of how these countries ended slavery, and voted for womans rights, but people wanted to be ignorant about it. Back then schools taught you these things. I was like, okay, so who defeated the white people and changed everything? No one. It was white men that made changes for the better, giving more rights to woman, woman didn't defeat the men, ending slavery, slaves didn't defeat the masters, good people in power did.
Libya is a major exit point for African migrants heading to Europe. International Organization for Migration (IOM) published a report in April 2017 showing that many of the migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa heading to Europe are sold as slaves after being detained by people smugglers or militia groups. African countries south of Libya were targeted for slave trading and transferred to Libyan slave markets instead. According to the victims, the price is higher for migrants with skills like painting and tiling. Slaves are often ransomed to their families and in the meantime until ransom can be paid tortured, forced to work, sometimes to death and eventually executed or left to starve if they can't pay for too long. Women are often raped and used as sex slaves and sold to brothels and private Libyan clients.Many child migrants also suffer from abuse and child rape in Libya
Interesting, only sad the sound in this reaction ain´t good while you talk to each other. Otherwise...i like your channel and i hope you will react to more soon. Love from Sweden
The truth and facts!
thx from across the ocean.
I was Shocked in the 1980's when I met a Beautiful Intelligent Couple from Africa and They Defended Slavery Claiming that God made Some People Slaves .
I was Gob Smacked .
They claim if You allow the Weak to Grow , Your Society Falls Apart.
The Bible does condone slavery though.
I'm glad Owens' lecture is getting a lot of traction. Though keep in mind that not all of it is established fact; some of the points are uncertain and different scholars mention different figures. And it's a bit of a stretch to say that white people were the first to abolish slavery; countries, regions and rulers have done so before at many times throughout history. Though it's certainly true that the west led the push for the universal abolition of slavery throughout the world. For a more in depth look I can recommend Thomas Sowell's excellent book "Black rednecks and white liberals" or several of his essays on the topic (some can be found in that book).
What surprises me is the surprise people get when watching this video. When I was in high school (in the Netherlands, in the 80s), all of this and more was covered in history class. I've heard the same from fellow Gen Xers from America. Has education really changed that much, with regards to this topic?
NO, it isn't a stretch to say white people ended slavery. It is historical fact. The brirish empire was the first to abolish slavery and the British people only stopped paying (financially) for the debt they had incurred in doing so in 2015.
@@kp361 Around 2000 years ago, the emperor of the Xin dynasty in China formally abolished slavery, along with a bunch of other reforms. At some point he was killed and the new rulers promptly reinstated slavery.
Japan abolished slavery in 1500 or so, although it still existed as a punishment for serious crimes.
So no, the UK was not the first.
@@kaasmeester5903 No. In other words, China briefly cooled down on slavery only to get back into it a few years later. That is in no way the same as formally abolishing it (and sticking to that decision, for centuries, right up to the present day, leading to a ripple effect which broke down slavery throughout the entire western world). And you know that those two things are not the same. William the Conqueror abolished slavery in Britain in the 11th century - it doesn't mean he 'ended slavery'. It means one ruler made one ruling in one country. So again, well done Britain! And Japan didnt 'end slavery in the 1500s' if it was 'still used as a punishment'. That would be a bit like saying "I'm against rape, except on Wednesdays." The UK's courageous actions centuries after William the Conqueror's ruling on domestic slavery are what ended the practice of slavery as we know it. Now it only exists still in pockets of Africa and the Middle East (with a fair amount of people trafficking, which is a form of slavery of course, around the world). But people trafficking is an illegal activity. State mandated slavery was ended by the Brits. Live with it.

The British had their Navy patrol the West Africa coast from 1808 to 1867 capturing slave ships and freeing black men and women. 1,600 British sailors perished from fidease, accidents and combat.
Slavery officially ended in Africa in 1981.
Wow all of you are beautiful. Great Reaction.
Truth is just the truth, dump the brain washing rubbish and flow with the truth for it will set you free 🙏🏽
Just think and dream about how great we could be if we remember the past and fight against ever going back to it. If we worked together regardless of where our ancestors where from; how great would the world be?
Yes hundreds of thousands of Irish immigrants gave their lives to free the slaves, …their relatives deserve reparations because of their sacrifice
Yes slavery has literally been going on for thousands of years in all parts of the world. Every race practiced it. If I remember right it was specifically Britain that first started to try and stamp out slave ships along the coast of Africa and then after a few years America and more countries in Europe started helping. I believe they spent something like 10 years going up and down the coast capturing every slave ship that they could. And I believe it was all mostly wiped out just after the beginning of the 1900s. Obviously they couldn't get everything but they achieved a big thing
White guy from America..I love yall
I’m so Mad that this person is spurring this BS. Not only was the bandage terrible and it did happen a long time ago BUT the savagery of Jim Crow and share cropping is very resent. My grandparents and parents were adversely affected by this practice. So yes, I feel the generational effects of the slave trade.
Also google the Barbary slave trade.
A terrible thing that Candice did not mention is that all Black men sold into slavery in the the Arab countries and areas were castrated .
Slavery was literally mentioned in the bible. The greeks.. the romans... pretty much every society going back to the beginning of civilization had some form of slavery. That is common knowledge. The key thing is to be able to distinguish how slavery was legislated, practiced, and enforced in different countries in the world and in different time periods.
Every race were slaves and Every race owned slaves.
