The pyramids were not made by slaves
Triangle trade graphic is wrong.
yuri Look at some timelines. We have slavery banned, that doesn't mean it always was, it also doesn't mean everyone abides by the law.
Arguing about timelines, or who first thought it was a good idea to kidnap, torture, and impose hard labor on innocent people is ridiculous. The focus doesn't belong on how it started, but on how it will end.
This is bullish
..and here I am, a black Brazilian with African ancestors due to the Portuguese slavery trade. It is good to show why there are black people in Brazil. Believe me, some people are still surprised when they get to know this fact.
I remember my great-grandmother once told me that her mother or grandmother, not sure, was a slave and she was born during a law that was passed freeing all slaver's newborns from 1871 on.
Slavery trade was and still is the main reason behind racism, even after so many centuries. It is high time we moved on.
So what? No one cares...

@Ben Berzai I'll move on once I'm not treated differently based on the color of my skin. Clearly that's an easy task for you.
@Ben Berzai I would love to hear the history that you believe substantiates your stance on white people being "oppressed". I also mostly just think it's funny that you call me racist lmao.
I will never forget what my dad told me: "Until everyone is free, we are all slaves." So powerful.

Jake Defa too true. There's a saying that behind every old money, wealthy family, there's a big crime. Many of the wealthy families today made their money either in the slave trade or using the slaves to make their fortunes in cotton, tobacco, sugar, etc. They are the same families who consider themselves to be the first Americans and think very highly of themselves like Daughters of the American Revolution.

I lived in a shared house, we had a room going, a very quiet and nervous man moved into the room. He didn't speak any English so I spoke to him and he spoke to me through a phone app. His story brought tears to my eyes.
He was from Romania, he was told that there was a better life in England. As soon as he came into the country he had his passport and all belongings taken, they set him to work washing dishes in a restaurant, he asked for pay and they beat him. His bed was the floor in the kitchen.
Good people finally raided the place and got him and several others out.

It’s been a while since I viewed this channel and I don’t know why, because there’s so many reasons I like it. I love the calm delivery, where the information is the point, not the over excited delivery of the narrator. Likewise, quite often Mike is happy to be off camera and concentrate on showing us images that add to our learning &/or enjoyment. The research is good, and we are left wanting to learn more. Sincere thanks and kudos to all involved with the channel
I remember reading that a southern slave owner was invited to see a plantation in the Caribbean and was horrified at the way slaves were treated there. I can't imagine, and I don't want to, how horrible that must have been.
That’s why the Haitian ancestors revolted and fought so hard for their freedom.
@@royalstarr1 yep 😌 I’m proud of my ancestors ☺️
The Spanish and French were particularly brutal. The average lifespan of a slave in Saint Domingue (now Haiti) after arrival was three years, for born in the colony it was fifteen years. The French found it 2as cheaper to work slaves to an early death on meager substinence and import new ones rather than take better care of them. Hence the Revolution
Life span outside North America was 5 to 8 years. No children allowed. They were worked to death.
No matter how much you try to deflect blame. They were all horrible. Slavery based on skin color is especially barbaric.
Very well researched and presented.. thanks for sharing...!!
Congratulations Mike. This one made me sick. That on the societal level, slavery could ever be deemed acceptable...that's truly scary. And disgusting.
Diane Essex, it was a way of life in those days like oil and gas it was a business.
Slave trade more like human trafficking
A human can be trafficked willingly a slave is forced against their will to be slaved. I also do understand the comparison though that's just the only real difference
Why they call it white slavery.
@@formwiz7096 Well white slavery was originally formed because of the Mann Act in 1910 to stop people of the time from using women as means to gain money through sex. It quotes you cant use any women or girl for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose. So it really has nothing to do with race as it's more of a womens rights law. (I assume because previous to 1910 we has a mass majority of white women being pimped)
Human trafficking still exists and they are generally classified as sex workers

It’s just a bunch of white people feeling guilty for Slavery
Only thing I feel guilty about is that fart I let next to my roommate as I walked by..
the history of slavery may be hard for some, but people need to realize that slavery exists today in parts of the world. Prostitution and drug dealing is slavery, too.
harry balls murphey some prostitutes are trying to pay off debts it's that there family owes from third world countries and working for their freedom to the United States or other countries for better life for so do your research before you start criticizing people you f****** c*** before you start talking s*** that you don't know nothing about do the research about sex trade and sex trafficking
no, prostitution is just an illegal way to make money, same goes for drug dealing. There is actual slavery in Africa and the middle east though
Because you willingly selling your body for sex and selling illegal drugs is slavery.
The slavery done on africans unfortunately is a different type of slavery its chatel slavery
Tina Gallagher how is drug dealing slavery?

Its all BS.....Obama did it
LawnBowlerUK thank you for telling the truth
Incredibly sad. I don't understand how someone could look and see property instead of obviously another person.
It's easy to understand. Man is intrinsically cruel by nature. This is why we use laws and religion to control the cruel nature of man.
it is the norm of the times. the way people were conditioned. just like today you are conditioned to pay taxes and trust govt.
something that is repulsive to us now was considered normal in the past.
Some things we do now and are accepted as normal will be looked upon by future generations as barbaric.
You can't properly judge the past by modern standards, because those standards simply did not exist in the past.
Katherine Richardson you know that.🤔
Katherine Richardson because it was a different time, and different thought processes. Totally different set of rules and ideas. I know it's hard to do. I've done it myself, but their lives were different, didn't have the same information or convenience to the things we have today or rights.
I lived in Dakar Senegal for two years. The infamous “Door of no Return” is just off shore from Dakar. The role of West Africa in slavery is openly discussed and understood. We were made aware, as this clip points out, there are currently more “legal” slaves in Africa then were ever exported. While historians lament the horrible treatment of Africans enslaved in the US, I am amazed at the tolerance of Americans of African descent to modern slavery. It was precisely that tolerance in the pre-civil war history that allowed slavery to continue.
Slavery practiced in america and slavery in Africa were very distinctly different. Slavery in Africa wasn't as cruel as that in america bcs it wasn't bordered on racism this is the fundament difference, its the difference between the way White treated White slaves and the the way they treated black or native American slaves. Most slaves in Africa weren't slaves for ever and bought their freedom, some if good were settled by their masters, read of king jaja of okpobo. There were usually no chains used. In most cases they weren't seen as less humans.
@@jeffnwobodo8671 BULL When shipped to the Muslims or India think they were freed?
Look up the Moors who invaded S Europe in 711 AD, 800 years before the trans Atlantic slave trade. The Moors occupied Spain for hundreds of years and sent millions of Europeans (mostly women) as slaves to Africa. Lets do some math, America took in 400,000 slaves, in less than 400 years they became 40 million or grew 100X. Using the same math if the Moors had left JUST 1 million of the millions of European slaves in Europe what would these 1 million have grow to in 800 years? That would be 100X 1 million or 100 million in 400 years, 100x 100 million or BILLIONS in the next 400 years. Would Europeans have needed any African slaves if there had been even 1 billion more Europeans before the trans Atlantic slave trade started? They would have used poor whites to settle the Americas.
White slavery by Africans caused the need for black slavery.
Lets not ignore that before and during most of the trans Atlantic slave trade, Africans raided the coasts of Europe as far N as Iceland to get (mostly) women with light hair, eyes and skin. Sounds RACIST to me. When WE won the 1 ST Barbary War in 1805 (remember this date) they were forced to stop taking NEW European slaves. In 1807 (2 years later) England and America CHOSE to stop taking NEW African Slaves. Proof white and black slave trade were tied together.
Just a simple question, in America blacks have their own communities, so what happened to the decedents of the MANY MILLIONS of white slaves that ended up in Africa over at least 1,300 years? Shouldn't white slaves have spread to make up the majority the population in many decedents Africans treated their slaves FAR WORSE than Europeans treated African slaves.
Look up the reason for the Second Barbary war and ask yourself did taking American & Europeans ships and crew hostage and ransoming them back (sound familiar) after losing the 1st Barbary War might be the reason for colonization of Africa? European countries couldn't afford to gather allies, ships and military to go back to fight a ground war in Africa every 7 or so years to force Africans TO LEAVE US ALONE. Once 1 European country had a colony it forced others to stay and keep a colony too.
Look up the West African Squadron, when it started (remember that date?) and for how many decades England (later joined by America) were ships sent to stop slaves from being shipped from West Africa to the Americas. When they found slaves they returned them to Africa.
After ending slavery in our own countries should white men have minded our own business or were we right to have used Trade and the threat of force to get countries and other races to end slavery?

Yea one still exists and the other hasnt for almost 200 years...
@@jeffnwobodo8671 This is the biggest cope ever though. Slavery is brutal no matter who perpetrates it.
@@JarthenGreenmeadow we're talking about institutionalized slavery and by the way slavery still exist every where if you don't know what the definition of slavery is. Again American slavery is very distinct from slavery in Africa bcs it was based on racism. Every medium was used to spread and imprint the lie that blacks where less humans since the deceleration of independence states that all humans are equal before and must be treated equally. Mind you I said american slavery. Even slavery in the Caribbeans was different from American slavery they were slaves but not seen as less human read history, that is why despite the large slavery the racism today isn't high in most Caribbean countries. Do your research and confirm what I just said. Slaves in Africa where like whites slaves they were not dehumanized, the that is why today no white slaves suffers the effect of slavery but Blacks are still suffering the effects in America and around the world till date. African slaves were not dehumanized the could become children of their masters they could become kings I said read of king jaja, they usually didn't stay slaves for ever they were well fed and protected and usually settled some even choose not to be free, they could contest for political title, they usually were not second class citizens. Slavery is bad and terrible and I'm in no wat justifying any form, but clarifying why the damage of the American slavery was so severe, it didn't just affect a tribe, country or community but it's a stigma on an entire race which Eco's loud till date.
Slavery is pure evil. It is not the plan of a loving God above for His children...
What is far less known, is slavery of other human races, besides black.
God created man and woman, to be happy, to have joy.
Not to abuse each other, in any way shape or form.
Love thy neighbor as thyself. Do unto others, as you would like them to be doing unto you.
This world can be a sad wicked place.
@mr fantastic No, it actually didn't. In the Bible, even if someone needed to work off a debt they were freed during the year of Jubilee and property restored to them. Also, there is no record of widespread slavery in Israelite society...ever!. Also, it was Christians - based on the Bible - who were the motor behind ending the practice that existed for thousands of years and was considered normal. I am afraid you have bad information, my friend.
@mr fantastic Been through it quite a few times. What do you have in mind? I know of no racist things - ever. You have some passage in mind? Judges gets pretty bad, but the point is that when people leave God, raunchy things happen. Note the last verse "Everyone did what was right in their own eyes." I notice you didn't speak to the reality that it was Christians that were responsible for the end of slavery.
@@donaldwilliamfry How about Ephesians 6:5-8 Paul states, “Slaves, be obedient to your human masters with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ” which is Paul instructing slaves to obey their master. It's not talking about color of skin, but it is condoning slavery. 1 Peter 2:18 Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh." There are more. But I don't believe God ever condoned slavery, but the people who wrote those verses obviously did - which is why I personally pick and choose from it.
@@alexakl6445 Yes, but he did not affirm slavery. In fact, you will notice in the book of Philemon Paul argued for a slave. This is a spiritual point that you will need to be in contact with God to understand. We are all in slavery until we come to know Christ. That is the ultimate slavery. Individual slave revolts as justified as they are have a very poor track record in the long term. Freeing oneself politically while still being in bondage spiritually is a loser (Haiti is a good example). A Christian waits for a movement of God to bring freedom - like what happened with the Wilberforce movement in 18th century England. These bring both political and spiritual freedom. It is good to let God be the active agent, which is what Paul is talking about here. I remind you, when Paul wrote this well over 1/2 of the Roman empire was enslaved. Changing the message to one of political revolt would have killed the Christian movement before it started. Better to wait on God and be faithful - which was Paul's advice. I hope in sharing this I am not in violation of Matthew 7:6. I trust you asked in good faith.
@James NotBond
When reading scripture, pray for discernment and understanding.
It does help a great deal to comprehend what is contained therein, also remember that we learn to understand bit by bit, line upon line, and precept by precept. Learning is a gradual process.
Despite what some may tell you, it wasn’t invented in America.
It also wasn’t always based on race. Most historical slavery was based on nationality, victors enslaving the losers.
Kassim ... Do you honestly believe that slaves were only mistreated in America, and not other countries? Do you think only black slaves were mistreated? Think again. Why is it that other races have been able to pull themselves out of slavery, but blacks continue to use it as a crutch? Perhaps it is not the color of the skin that people object to. It is more likely the attitude and lack of self responsibility.
The Romans enslaved Celts and German war captives and any other European warrior that might fall under their control after a battle.
Aaliyah Kassim Nobody actually thinks any of that, you’re just being dramatic. He’s stating a fact that for 300 years, more than 6 million white Irish and English people were kidnapped and brought into servitude under African slave owners. More than 1 million of them were either beaten, starved, tortured, or worked to death. The men worked in the same conditions as the trans atlantic slave trade and the women were made into sex slaves. As a white person of almost 100% Irish and English descent, this hits close to home too. So stop feeling sorry for yourself.
There is a story that during the Roman Republic, the Senate discussed bringing in a law to make every slave wear an armband so that people would know who was a slave and who wasn't. The law was rejected because they would realise how many of them there were. That story alone implies that race was not a major factor in Roman slavery.
But America profitted and benefitted from slavery the most,and how do you know "it wasn't always based on RACE?
I heard that slaves are usually forced to live in less-than-pleasant conditions and don't even get compensated for their work. Can you believe that?
Jugg Official, you are living in the 21st century, European slavery goes back to the 15th century. If you have an average IQ you would know that there were no League of Nation, so there were no laws in the dark ages, so don`t bring that up in the 21st century.

@@fenriz218 Blacks fought for their own freedom. There were Black Union units in the Civil War. We also fought for your people's freedom from the British in the revolutionary war. The first person to die for this country in that war was Crispus Attucks, a Black man. And Lincoln only freed the slaves (who had been running and revolting for decades, refer to Nat Turner and also the underground railroad) as a strategy of war, a final blow to cripple the Rebs economically, not because he gave a fuck about Blacks. I can show you links and info on every Black inventor/contribution to American society. So I suggest you stand down, you racist troll, and make sure your wife/daughters aren't getting some BBC right now. Leave my race the fuck alone, worry about yours, you keyboard commando.
fenriz218 fenritz, you are a rotten scumbag and an idiot. Black people do not owe any thank yous to anybody. The civil war was not a favor for black people. It was something the us was obligated to do because it itself perpetuated slavery when all other countries had prohibited the practice.
Black people also do not owe any thanks to anyone today especially. You personally have nothing to do with what someone did before you were born.
a10warthog61 You dumb as little white boy probably having no friends, achievements and having nothing better to do then commenting bullshit under almost every comment just because nobody texts you and the only people that respond to you are the people in the CZcams comments so sad tbh get a life and go out more
Jewish traders
@oShane Kasper No. I did not imply that. I do not support reparations. But not because no one should ever owe reparations. But because it is logistically impossible, and because no actual immediate family of slaves are alive anymore. It is not possible to determine on what basis to give it.
Individual Americans indeed do not owe reparations or apology to descendants of whoever their ancestors MAY have enslaved or abused. It is just impossible to track who exactly is a descendant of slave owners except for a small portion of people who somehow kept every record. Also because a lot of entirely new family lines arrived to United States since after the Civil War. BUT the United States Government may owe something since it is continuous legal entity which was around at the time of slavery after 1776
If you are implying that since , like I said, black people do not owe a thank you to anyone, then no white should owe an apology, you probably imply different logic from mine. The government does. Individuals do not. That is simply for the reason that we do not jail or transfer debts to children of people who committed crimes or took too much credit they weren't able to pay for.
But what mostly white white, but not only white, Americans are morally obligated to do is to acknowledge that as a group black Americans did indeed suffer more, and are still suffering more today. That isn't just a "leftist opinion". Its a demonstrable fact that can be shown by numbers and existing laws, and that whites, GENERALLY speaking, did have it better than either blacks or the immigrants who came to the US from non-anglo saxon countries.
And all those nations who participated in it will be judged for all the blood, lies and theft they have done, so says the ALMIGHTY Yah.👍

We are all still slaves. If you don't believe me don't pay your taxes.
%100 true. If we were truly free we would be able to work until we could buy our own property and have a self sustaining farm and provide everything we need for ourselves, but we can't. You never own property, only rent it. It's impossible to own even a small farm without having a source of income to pay taxes every year for something you supposedly own. It's refreshing to see somebody else that can see that slavery was never abolished, nobody is truly free.
I would love to live in the woods and be free,but I can't. I would either be trespassing on someone's property or evading taxes. Either way without income I wouldn't be able to pay the taxes or fines. The people that don't work or pay taxes are going to have a very hard time when the government runs out of money. They may not be slaves in the traditional sense, but they are being used to speed up our collapse. Just because someone doesn't work doesn't mean they aren't being used and taken advantage of.We are over 17 trillion in debt not including unfunded liabilities. Technically we have been bankrupt for a long time. A lot of bad things are going to happen when the government can no longer hand out checks. Very good people are capable of doing very bad things when they are starving. Just look at what's been happening in Venezuela, socialism doesn't work. The only people that prosper are politicians and their friends and family, everybody else starves. You can only spend other people's money for so long before it runs out. If everybody quits working because they can get a check for nothing, there is nobody left to produce goods to create any income. Don't get me wrong though, we still have a way better life than people in other countries that are still slaves in the traditional sense, but our way of life as we know it might not last as long as you would hope.
you are absolutely right, nobody understands what freedom is anymore. There is no such thing. No liberty, no justice either. If you even have the courage to fight for it you'll more than likely lose. But I have to admit with the free flow of information and truth things will change for the better. Corruption is finally being exposed, before it was just called conspiracy theories but now everything people do and say is on record. It's very hard for politicians to say something they said was taken out of context when you can google or look on youtube to see their entire speech unedited and come to your own conclusion to what was really said. Times are changing, it will be rough for a while, but most people are good and have their hearts in the right place. Refuse to let politicians divide you from your neighbors and community, only way we can win. Refuse division!! It's divide and conquer, s country that cannot be divided cannot be conquered.
The standard of living is much higher in canada
you're thinking of tax payers. not slaves. slaves of the south were not just tax payers.
Interesting but doesn’t mention Romans, Jews and other groups that practiced slavery thousands of years ago. In fact almost all cultures and religions owned slaves and created similar laws. Life was very hard and dangerous for them.
I just don't understand why a human being will treat another human being in such inhumane manner. Only God has the answer
Because some people are just mean, racist, and hateful.

It's a part of world history, but not as historic as we may think, the last country to make slavery illegal was Mauritania, a West African nation, in 2007..Yes that's 2007!!!...It carried on and in 2016 anti slavery activists were actually imprisoned in Mauritania, so it's now unofficial..Sad and disgusting fact that Africa needs to correct.

@MONEY GREEN The white man created slavery? Who did the white men buy their slaves from?
I have noticed they are making false videos about who actually brought slaves to America. It's the leftists at their best again. British brought them to US to work the plantations because they couldn't control the settlers enough.
A white trying to cover up his own race's atrocities by pulling the "Others did it too" card.
I never under stand discrimination base on skin colour we're all human and humans are capable of some disgusting stuff without trying to justify themself.
no, we are not all humans our deeds speak for itself. some of us are seeds of the serpent. "you will know them by their fruits", said Jesus.
American slavery started around the same time when watching people get beheaded was a public event that you could bring your children to see and ENJOY.
Here’s the answer.
Opinions change over time, humans change over time.
What is acceptable now can be seen as an utter disgrace and horrific in 500 years.

An interesting short film. The slaves of the Roman empire, the slaves of the Mongol empire certainly too made a contribution to the horrors. The Arabs were dealing in slavery long before the 7th century. Let us not forget that there are many more lands and periods of history that have been exposed to such injustices too.
True.. I’ve seen records of as early as the 2nd century.
Thank you for sharing. We need this.

indentured servants are almost like slaves...
TylerTheGamer almost doesn't cut it
TylerTheGamer not even close.
TylerTheGamer not even close.
not even close? so i guess being forced to work in bad conditions isn't slavery. The only differences are that indentured servants became free after a set amount of time, they weren't considered property, and couldn't legally be killed by their master.
The slaves were world to death, in the South and central America.
It was cheaper for them to replace them.
thank you for this educational forum. its a terrible indictment of human brutality. ive travelled and worked in Asia and the middle east. yes regrettably bondage is still present and the brutal exploitation of the poor. devastating.

Benjamin R. Hanby, 1856
There's a low green valley
On the old Kentucky shore,
There I've whiled many happy hours away,
A-sitting and a-singing
By the little cottage door,
Where lived my Darling Nelly Gray.
Refrain:
Oh! my poor Nelly Gray,
They have taken you away,
And I'll never see mey darling anymore,
I'm sitting by the river
And I'm weeping all the day,
For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore.
One night I went to see her,
But she's gone the neighbors say,
The white man bound her with his chain,
They have taken her to Georgia
For to wear her life away,
As she toils in the cotton and the cane.
Refrain:
My canoe is under water
And my banjo is unstrung
I'm tired of living anymore;
My eyes shall look downward
And my songs shall be unsung
While I stay on the old Kentucky shore.
Refrain:
My eyes are getting blinded
And I cannot see the way,
Hark! there's somebody knocking at the door,
Oh! I hear the angels calling
And I see my Nelly Gray,
Farewell to the old Kentucky shore.
Oh! may Darling Nelly Gray,
Up in heaven there they say,
That they'll never take from me anymore,
I'm a coming, coming, coming,
As the Angels clear the way,
Farewell to the old Kentucky shore.
it feels weird to say or hit the like button whenever I see a video like this-so i'm always reluctant to hit the like button.So I don't often hit either button simply because I feel disgust for the unbelievable and cruel atrocities that humans are willing to do to one another! While I appreciate the work that the people do to create these very informative videos,i'm uncomfortable because I often wonder if they will think that actually enjoy the ugliness of what people are willing to do to another person or persons...
What about Turkish Ottoman Empire enslaving of East Europe and Jewish slave traders? Could you do a video about it please??
You guys forgot the biggest fact:
The word "slave" is derived from the white Slavic people who were enslaved so often and for so long that it became the norm to call any captive person a "Slav" or "slave".

DannyTM Truth Magnified The only thing wrong here is that Egypt only had slaves during the book of Exodus in the Bible. They are one of the few cultures that did not have many slaves at all.
+PackHunter117
The Slavics were enslaved by the Moors coming out of Spain and the Middle East. The slavery of the Slavics can actually be linked back to ancient Mesmopotamia, as you can pinpoint the Moorish empire's birthplace from within the Middle East, in Iraq. And there was ALOT of human enslavement going on in ancient Iraq.
Iraq is not far from Egypt, either.
If there was any type of slave trading going on, you better believe the Egyptian empire was involved.
DannyTM Truth Magnified I’ve seen many sources that show that Egypt almost never used slavery. The pyramids weren’t built with slave labor but with high payed servants.
You might want to fact check your sources. Egypt was heavily involved in human enslavement. In fact, it's how it's empire stayed afloat.
All I have too say is Deuteronomy 28:1-68
that about sums it up
That’s assuming a couple things. First the Bible never says this happened in Africa. 2. It also never specified which groups of people this affected or will affect. For all we know, it could be talking about some other slave trade 🤷🏾♀️ so let’s not just assume it’s talking about this one. Unless there is a specific verse that says that this happened and that Africans are cursed imma need you to take several seats. ✌🏾

"I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt (Bondage), out of the land of slavery.
Then the LORD will make you return to Egypt (Bondage) by Ships, over a route (America's) I said to you that you would never see again
A foreign nation (America's) you have never heard about.
A nation (America's) unknown to you or your ancestors.
A nation against you from far away, (America's) from the ends of the earth, like an eagle (America's) swooping down.
A nation (America's) whose language you shall not understand.
A fierce and heartless nation (America's) that shows no respect for the old and no pity for the young.
Will scatter you among all the nations from one end of the earth to the other.
And you shall become a horror, a proverb, and a byword (N-Word) among all the peoples where the LORD will lead you away.
You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.
The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower.
They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail
They will be a sign and a wonder to you and your descendants forever.
Because you did not serve the Lord your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the Lord sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life.
But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions."
And...Thank you to The Mighty Ancestors!
The slaves that were brought here should have been overjoyed knowing how their lives and their ancestors lives would be so much improved. I dont understand why people still complain about it.
You the reason why I feel the way I do why I don't socially with white people or make friends with them
Though I'm born a white man, I can state categorically i love black people, my closet friends (like adopted into their family)are black people. It appalls and horrified me the barbaric way history shows they were enslaved merely cause they might have been from a more simple life and their skin colour. I love and embrace ALL people of all races/colours/ethnicities. We are ALL EQUAL in our gracious God's sight. Final thought; I have two main heroes; 1)First and foremost Jesus Christ( our LORD and ONLY saviour),2) Martin Luther King ( I share that dream). Then people like William Wilberforce (abolition of slavery in UK), John Wesley (who supported him), Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Stevie Wonder. The apostles Paul, Peter, James and the 2 John's. and Louise Armstrong.God bless all who read this comment.
Malcolm Richards, no need to be horrified at all. Africans first enslave Europeans, Europeans only returned the favor in the 15th century. So exchange is no robbery. The Arabs first enslave the Europeans as well the blacks.
Without those mass rapes you wouldnt exist.

During WWII, when Germany started loosing, they forced young men from occupied countries to go to Germany to work in their factories. I would call that slavery as well. My grandmother was able to keep my uncle out of this only by bribing hungry German military with food. Another practise that happened in those years: German souldiers who were kept prisoner of war by the Russians, but also German civilians, were transported to Siberia and were forced to work in lead mines, under horrible conditions. I tend to call see that as slavery as well. In Asia during WWII, prisoners from different countries were forced to build railways. This happened all between 1940 - 45. We shouldn't overlook those facts, that happened in more recent times.
Bert Brandsma, the whole world was in a mess before the League of Nation was form.
Bert Brandsma yeah but the reason for that wasn't like fuck it we want slaves it was fuck it gotta win whatever the cost see the difference they wouldn't have done that under other circumstances
It's not the same as generations of institutional slavery and institutional racism. in fact, antisemitism BY the Germans is the reason the Germans were universally reviled around WWII. We might also mention the slaves that Germans made from Jewish people, as well as the millions who were murdered.
Also, the racism that continues to this day is something that didn't happen in Europe after WWII. You can not compare the two.
At least this guy is telling the truth about global slavery instead of just blaming America first.
those "factories" were actually called barracoons
Building the pyramids of Egypt, hmp! that one was new..?
There's evidence that most of the pyramids were built by free men. Documents on pottery have been found showing how much businesses were being paid to contribute to the projects. At the time the Egyptians were building pyramids, they were also the first people to brew beer, which they sold to the thirsty construction workers. There was even one occasion when workers went on strike because they had not been paid.

Once slavery trade was abolished, they used the wood from the ships to build other structures. It’s called recycling.

Here for the comments!! & information
No mention of the Barbary (Muslim) slave trade where over a million Europeans were captured from ships or taken from coastal villages in Spain, Italy, France, England, Wales and Ireland.
This makes me so sad .
abolition of slavery has nothing to do with morality, it was a fact that the slavers had benefited and made enough money to convert slavery into employment contract for the ex salves, in law, still called master servant relationship, employers can still mistreat people as to working hours and pay, so people still struggle to survive, that is why we have the unions
The U.S. actually hasn’t banned slavery. There’s a legal exception in the Constitution
7;03 So true.
I'm Caribbean and the words used in our dialect are a combination of words from various African countries. We have no idea of what exact countries it's from; it's just passed down from our enslaved ancestors.
Thanks to the internet, we are making connections. In Trinidad, we have a dish called CouCou. A dish similar to that is eaten in Nigeria & Ghana, but they call it FuFu. We drink the same Sorrell that our African cousins drink and we turned slave food like Ox Tails into a delicacy.
Also, thanks to DNA technology, I'm connecting with African family members. The Atlantic Slave trade tore families apart, but our DNA is reuniting us! Meeting my new African cousins is a joyous feeling that I can't describe! 🙌🏾🎉
This video has opened my eyes more about slavery! I had NO idea!! I hate even just thinking about slavery for ANY race or culture! All people should be treated the same way! Even before I watched this video and only thought that 'blacks' were used for slavery, which is why I thought some 'white' people and some 'black' people were still racist against each other. Even now how some people are still racist upsets me! I will never understand why some people treat others differently just because of different skin color or culture. :(
lissybearx3 all races have been put into slavery
I know. Hence why I said "I hate even just thinking about slavery for ANY race or culture!".
lissybearx3 it bothers me that so many black people try to look like victims, people don't realize all races were enslaved. Intead of trying to help stop current day slavery in other countries most black people would rather attempt to manipulate people into thinking they are victims.
Sadly, based on what I see and witness, this is true! Plus you don't even know how many times I hear somebody say 'you're racist!' at work. This is usually not towards me but I've heard it at least once towards me. 'Umm...I'm actually not racist. I'm just doing my job. Sorry if you don't like it'. A good amount of black people throw that crap at me and other non-black people. And honestly, I think that is a reason why a few people ARE racist. They're sick and tired of being accused as being racist, that they become racist!! At least I wouldn't be surprised if that has happened! I personally have no problem with anybody based on race and culture, like I said in my post. But you know. This is life. :/
I think part of this is a uniquely U.S. construct. Racism and prejudice is systemic everywhere, but I would contend that in the U.S it is seeped more into daily, seemingly mundane racism. A dark-skinned person getting helped at a store, the gas station, crossing the street or struggling to recall your bike lock combination to unlock it. Any of these often yield automatic alarms here among citizens on the street, let alone the police. If I didn't have darker-complexioned family members telling me otherwise, I'd hardly believe it myself. But it is true. And sad. I read a sad article about an affluent Black businessman who resorted to putting a stuffed animal in the back window of his luxury sedan so cops would quit pulling him over under some false pretense and checking for drugs. That's just wrong. Also, please get it straight. Yes, anyone and everyone can be guilty of having prejudices against others. No one is exempt. However, racism can only come from the prevailing power constructs within a given system. That construct in Western culture is European-derived, or in today's vernacular, white people. So while prejudice and racism ARE related terms, they not interchangeable ones.
The US Congress never abolished slavery or the slave trade. The Constitution did.
no it's still legal in prisons.. slavery is alive and well today.. and with the laws being enforced unequally it's men of colour who predominantly wear the chains.

The idea that slavery was an injustice, became official in Portugal in 1761.

Yeah those darn Democrats and their racist philosophy. Thankfully the Republicans put an end to Slavery in the United States. It is no wonder why the Democratic Party hates the Republican Party, they took away their slaves and subsequently trained them in self defense via the N.R.A so that the Democrats couldn't force ex slaves back onto Democratic slave plantations.
Only a moron would compare chattel slavery to the central bank. By the way, the US economy has done much better under Democratic administrations than Republican ones. The old line used to be...Democrats get us into wars and Republicans get us into depressions.
