Quick correction: At the 11:01 mark, I say "conservative," but I really meant "Confederate"!

This guy gives off “the slaves can’t be sad. They’re all singing. You can’t sing when you’re sad.” energy
Plus the songs the enslaved people sang contained coded messages to each other in the lyrics, like plans to escape or meet up.

I guess cause they’re protected by conservative officials, elected and appointed.
Over a hundred and fifty thousand black men enlisted into the union army. They fought, bleed and died for emancipation. Better men that that shit he calls his son in law.
12 million slaves between the 1600s and 1800s and pretty much all of them rebelled in some way every day. From working poorly under an overseer they didn't like to get him fired, to learning how to read against the master's will, to leaving the plantation at night to meet with other slaves, to running away to the North, to running away and coming back to wreak havock, to full on rebellions and murder. What they didn't do was humble themselves and wait for white men to treat them nicer.
That’s right
Never got their '40 acres and a mule' though. Even Lincoln lied to them
@@yippee8570 Lincoln was assassinated before the war ended. Andrew Johnson is the one to blame.

He must not divorce her as long as he lives." Deuteronomy 22:28-29 on punishment of rape
"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go free as male slaves do." Exodus 21:7
"God was responsible for bringing an end to slavery" said nobody in their right mind, ever.
The plantation owners, never, ever, ever taught them to read. Nat Turner’s rebellion taught the slave owners not to allow slaves to read or write.
Nat Turner's rebellion happened in 1831. There was over 200 years of American slavery before that. Every once in a while the slaves were taught to read. For evidence read Frederick Douglass' book "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass." His education began when the mistress began to teach him to read. Her husband made her stop teaching him so he had to continue his education on his own in secret. I wouldn't say it was normal to teach slaves to read, but never is an exaggeration and untrue.
I'm sure a few owners taught their slaves to read, but only to teach the Bible or assist processing profits.
If it were "never, ever, ever" then the slave owners wouldn't have needed a rebellion to teach them that lesson
Yeah, it was illegal in most states to teach your slaves
After the slave revolt led by Nat Turner in 1831, all slave states except Maryland, Kentucky, and Tennessee passed laws against teaching slaves to read and write.
That "preaching" was probably the most ignorant thing I have ever heard.
There's more where that came from...
It’s pretty standard for these *Levitical law* loving Christians.
They still don’t understand the point their Christ was murdered for making over 2000 years ago, according to their story.
If you look at it that way, it’s almost understandable that they are still lagging behind the human rights found in our world today. 🤦🏼♀️
In the 1930s, textbooks showed most US slaves as happy with their lot, because they were allowed freedom to dance and make music after their cotton picking hours were ended. That was a load of crap.
I would not be surprised if Ron DeSantis and his ilk bring this back for their textbooks.
Ask and you shall receive. DeSatan passed a law, just days ago, to whitewash slavery.

The prayer is for the person praying to make them feel better, like they are doing something without doing anything. Oh you are such a good human.
Prayer's been studied by neurophysicists, work, but it's not a candy machine. What then? Do you know 'enabler'? That term?
Then 'connection'?
They want you to be quiet, to pray, but most, most, most important, they want you to give them your money. Some one once asked me what kind of proof would it take to convince me that there is a god? I replied: I will believe in god when Christers stop asking me for money.

Don't worry about saying "Conservative" when you meant "Confederate."
These days, I am convinced that American Christian Republicans are actually Confederates who are picking up where things left off. The Civil War wasn't really all that long ago. My mother is 82 years old, and has lived through ONE THIRD of the whole of American history.
You're not even wrong. The planters basically regained power in the south after the end of reconstruction
As a Southerner, I am also convinced since there has never been a time since the civil war that these kind of people weren’t proudly proclaiming “the South will rise again”.
These type people never want to change the future, they want only to repeat the past.
It’s why they cling so desperately to that buybull that promotes slavery…and the ownership of women’s bodies.
@@harvster997you’re so correct. Say that to the majority of southern wyt folk though and all you’ll get is laughed at.
At this point ignorance is a matter of pride with these types.
Slavery was not entirely made illegal. It's alive and well in the penal system.
Exactly. Angola, in Louisiana, was immediately full of black men who’d broken imaginary laws, to be put right back into slave labor.

It’s hilarious, because W. E. B. Dubois also makes the point about how many slaves turned to religion and that this was facilitated by slave owners, and how they “humbled themselves”. Thing is, Dubois highlights that this was a method of control, to de-fang and distract slaves from their plight.
Yet the Civil Rights Movement was led by Black churchmen and organized in Black churches. Religion is an ambiguous thing that can be used for oppression and for liberation from it.
Absolutely. Christianity's rhetoric that some afterlife is all that matters, so accept whatever God hands you in this life because you'll be rewarded later for suffering a lot now? Brilliantly useful to slaveowners.
@@deenadamico2673 that rhetoric is not the kind that motivated the civil rights movement. Ever read Exodus? Slave drivers wouldn’t want Blacks to be able read about God liberating the Hebrews from Egyptian slavery. The entire abolitionist movement was Biblically inspired.
@@claesvanoldenphatt9972 Considering God allows the Hebrews to have slaves and beat them I don't see that this is anything, but another in a long list of Biblical contradictions and proof that the human species is incredibly skilled at self deception and voluntary ignorance.
Exactly!!
I have always wondered whether Anna Duggar grew up in an abusive household because of the way she has accepted her husband's crimes and tried to excuse them. Now I see her father excusing the horrific abuse of slavery, talking about how the enslaved people needed to 'repent', needed to stay obedient, with no mention of the need of the repentance for those who inflicted the horrors of slavery. This alone raises serious alarm bells about generational abuse within his own household and within the IBLP cult, without even getting into the racist, revisionist, claptrap he's spouting. It amounts to 'if you pray enough, the bad things will go away, so if they're still happening it must be because you didn't repent, or you didn't pray hard enough'. That's not just terrible history, that's spiritual and emotional abuse.
I hope law enforcement and CPS is investigating what might have gone on their own household. Some of their kids are girls. You have to wonder if they've been molested by their father. If he'd molest his little sisters, what's to stop him from diddling his own daughters? And that stupid doormat Anna sticks with the pig? I know she's got no life skills except cooking, cleaning, and squatting out babies, but Jesus Christ - you have to draw the line somewhere and get yourself and your kids out of a terrible situation and as far away as you can. There is help out there for people escaping a situation like that, and absolutely no percentage in hanging around waiting for the loser to get out of prison, or hanging out with his sicko family.
That whole family tree seems to need running through a woodchipper, what...
That's what religion does to people.
Gets out the worse in them.
Kids, who grow up in an abusive household, often end up associating abuse with love.
"He beats because he loves me".
The 4 pillars of conservativisim

2) Hypocrisy

You forgot “Insecurity” too 😅
And you also forgot delusion.
Who was it that said “if jesus came back now, he would be kicked out of those so-called churches”, and not in a very elegant way.
Dostoevsky wrote about that in his "The Grand Inquisitor" story in The Brothers Karamazov.
Mike Keller's claim that "They taught them to read so that they could read the Bible," really, REALLY pisses me off. It was illegal to teach a slave to read - because the slave owners understood that literate slaves might read material that disparaged the institution of slavery and they might be in a position to write to each other and plan ways of becoming ex-slaves.
Exactly. I believe Frederick Douglass says something similar, because knowledge is power.

There have always been outcries against slavery (although it was advocated by god under the law of Moses). In Roman times, a slavery uprising resulted in 6,000 slaves being crucified. Worse still, slavery exists today!
All true. And scholars have documented roughly 300 uprisings by enslaved people in the Antebellum South. The exact number depends on specific criteria for an uprising.

And let’s not forget Lincoln said if he could end the civil war without freeing a single slave he would
Lincoln was also against giving citizenship to the freed slaves, allowing them to own property or vote. He wasn't the "great emancipator" history makes him out to be.
@@michaelmccarthy4077 He wanted to send them back to Africa or to one of the Caribbean islands.
Yea i loved him for so long as was like "he was a great president". Until i learned on my own reading his letters
People really hate when this gets brought up
I've heard that was less his honest views, and more a lawyerly language trick. Lincoln knew he was speaking to pro slavery people, and so specifically singled out his official view as the president of the US. From what I've heard, while he wasn't perfect, he did find slavery odious. And did at first plan to send the freed slaves back to Africa, but later changed his mind.
Things like this makes me wonder if they teach you anything but the pledge of allegiance (and that one is creepy) when you go to school in USA?
The primary purpose of public education in the US is and has always been to prepare students for the 8-to-5 schedule of the average workday.
When public education was first being introduced, conservative organizations would not get on board until it was pitched as a training regimen for bringing new worker drones into the labor force.
Actual education has always been a lesser priority beyond teaching conformity, adherence to schedule, obedience to authority figures, and accustomization to taking work home to be performed during out-of-work time as preparation for the expectation of performing Extra unpaid labor.
It’s incredibly varied, as is everything here. The US has some of the world’s worst public schools and some of the best. Schools in blue states near major universities are typically purely secular and emphasize critical thinking. Rural schools in the south typically… well… aren’t that. Then there’s everything in between.
@@HappyThife Depends on the school system. Ours had Our Bodies Ourselves on the reading list (for the boys, too - causing some confusion among the less, um, academic guys).
not at my (southern) school. we just did it every morning without question and if you didnt want to participate? a trip to the principals office to receive a lecture about respecting our veterans, our country, teachers, etc. and any argument you make about that hypocritical logic just gets you into more trouble.
it was the same with any class prayers the teachers wanted to have but thankfully forcing children to participate in those (and punishing them if they didnt) became illegal.
I went to religious schools, so not only did we say the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag every day, we also recited pledges to the Bible and to the Christian Flag.
Also, Keller (‘s wife) homeschooled his kids and there are no curriculum requirements or testing standards for that.
Praying about it is a way Christians feel better about something horrid without actually doing anything about it.
@@syrious_kash8268 Amen
That's one reason I quit trying to converse with ceilings...
Well, slavery ist still legal in the US, as a punishment for a crime...
It should be mandatory for all US schools to show "12 years a slave" in history class.

Oh, they would have a fit
@@merricat3025the vapours
Germans learn about what went on during WWII for years and not just in their history classes, but how the policies affected everything.

They are, of course, going pell mell in the opposite direction. Teachers, to their credit, are quitting in droves.
You are so awesome Friendly Atheist. Keep up the great work!
I'm so angry that he repeatedly kept saying "The Blacks". Also, enslavers did not teach much reading as a tool for the enslaved. They knew the power of literacy.

They believe that if a slave does not protest, they are content but if they do protest, they are ungrateful.
Moral compass always pointing south. That has multiple way to apply here
The easiest way to spot a Red Flag in someone claiming to be a Christian is there view on Race because if that view is messed up what else is messed up
I won't even go to a wedding if it's in a church.
I just took a peek on another site. The video is private but a lot of quotes and does he really think it was bringing Christian religion that stopped the slavery? These religious people believed they had a divine right to own slaves and did so because of it and now they are gonna claim it was them that stopped slavery? WOW!
I love how they swoop in and use these things for their control. Like when they use our science in their religion now after who knows how many millions of people was murdered thinking outside the box. I mean now they claim our billions of years old universe is still in his 7 days of creation because his days are not timed out the same. I go so it took one of his days and billions of our years to make the whole universe but it took the same one day to make just a rock that later he will add things to it and call it Earth. So why did it take him so long to make earth in his one day when he did the whole universe in another one of his single days?
These people never think their reason and logic circuits are fried. The first thing cults do is to fry them and destroy them knowing thats its worse enemy.
Christianity was indeed instrumental in ending slavery - in the Roman Empire, and even there not completely. Religion in the US was blatantly used to reinforce the peculiar, and peculiarly brutal, institution of American slavery.
Friendly Atheist, Hemant, great reporting! Thankyou. 👍💙💖🥰✌
Plus, he's good to look at.
The real devils are behind the pulpits.
God said slavery is ok according the bible 🤷
Yup, and the condition of women was right there as well. This is not a mythos fit for the modern world.
“God” has never said a damn thing.
That was the same reason, why the church in the Middle Ages was evangelizing so much and bringing Jesus to the poor: To keep them quiet. The more you suffer in this life, the more rewards you will reap in paradise! Here you are just a pauper or enslaved worker, but wait until you have been worked to death and you will get a surprise!....Not telling them that the surprise after death is...BEING DEAD AND HAVING YOUR BODY DECOMPOSE!! Yes, it still works that way. People are dumb.
Thank you for all you do to bring this trap to light.
Thanks for exposing the christian insanity.
My only response is WTF.
If only evangelicals would take their own advice:
Don't like someone else's reproductive choices? Pray about it and wait on God.
Don't like someone's sexual orientation or gender expression? Pray about it and wait on God.
Don't like certain books or movies? Pray about it and wait on God.
Don't like equality, diversity, or inclusion initiatives? Pray about it and wait on God.
But that wouldn't help serve the GOP's interests now, would it?!
They don't pray to God to abolish the things they don't like because they know nothing will happen. And whenever they pray and things don't go their way, their answer is always, "Well, that just proves it's God's will."
So, if they pray for God to abolish all the things they don't like: (the pro choice, pro racial equality, pro freedom, pro environment, pro gun control, anti fascist, pro freedom from religion-biased government, etc., and nothing happens, then they would be forced to admit these things must be God's will. And they're not about to do that.
So when anything is REALLY important to them, they don't sit around waiting for God to answer prayers, they take matters into their own hands. All their so-called "belief", and "faith", is just wishful-thinking hypocrisy. When they're really serious about getting rid of something, they act on it themselves; they know that waiting for God does not accomplish their goals.
@@varonadee6980This right here is exactly what I want Black Evangelicals to take away from.
They're about taking and keeping power, of course. Organized religion always is. And I say that as (still) a Christian...

Thank you for such an informative educational content. Kind regards.
If God eventually made slavery illegal, what took him so long ? , was he sleeping? Religion always come up with bad excuses for bad people to do bad things with God's approval. Sick.

Imaginary discussion between slave and slave owner preaching Jesus to him -
Slave - So what you're saying is that anybody who is not a follower of Jesus is destined to go to hell to be tortured forever, even those who have not heard of him?
Slave owner - No, it is those who know of Jesus but reject him that will go to Hell, not those who do not know of him.
Slave - So if you hadn't told me of him I would be going to Heaven? So why have you told me of him, I am now destined for Hell, You aren't saving me, you are condemning me to eternal torture in Hell.
Exactly. Christians allways rambling about how those who havent heard the gospel arnt under Gods judgement.
So why preach? Why go to foreign coyntrys as a missionary?
When you see it this way you realize how insane the whole idea of christianity is. The gospels makes no sence at all.
He's in a room full of people that loved every word he said. Let that sink in.
love your show. I'm a theist who appreciates your good work calling out bad acting Christian leaders. I'm a former Catholic who now considers himself a post-Christian.

Actually, the way I've understood it, the reason you give enslaved people a god to worship is so they can go and pray to their gods to deliver them etc. This helps keeps the slaves quiet and happy and better controlled by their masters. That Mike Keller is just a disgusting human being who seems to be following the Uncle Remus school of thought, "dem darkies, singin.. and lobing their master". That is too small of a picture, doesn't showing the counting house, the beating, raping etc. of humans who just happen to have a different color of skin then he does.

That kind of mentality and perspective never helps anyone, it just furthers those people from any sort of reality, and they only want their perspective and not to be open to other thoughts. I can’t tell you how many times growing up that i have been told to be the “golden child/good little Christian girl” and being expected to take care of a sick little brother and virtually torn apart family. Id say if the Christians really looked into themselves and stopped the feigned or blatant ignorance, maybe we could all get somewhere without some political or historical bloodshed; crimes in all places and from all people happen yes. But the fact they do not condemn themselves for it and justify it with the bible just irks me. I have gone through verbal and physical abuse due to my circumstances and family, so this was definitely a good listen.
Another thing would be people definitely need to look into history more. Regardless if it is not in their opinions range, ive read up on the civil wars, and the early American history, and even up to current. People never learn, hopefully people stop allowing blissful ignorance so we can all chill in a little bit of peace for once.
Oh Wow!
I am so deeply ashamed of myself.
Cacti & Tropicals are my hobby; and sometimes Sh-(Bugs)-It happens and you become distracted.
I last watched the end of the Exodus series.
Wow i have soooo many videos to catch up on! I feel ashamed of myself!!

Do you think he knows just how bad this sounds, or do you think he's so deluded that he thinks this is a good argument?
Never mind, he's probably that deluded.
From the title of the video you know the preacher is coming in with a shovel but it’s still impressive when he breaks ground about 2 sentences in and from then you’re just wondering how deep a grave he can dig for himself.
Insightful and well said💯💯
As far as slaves learning to read to read the Bible. They used the slave Bible which omitted key passages that could incite rebellion.
Lmao “ they prayed and turned from their wicked ways” lmao 🤣. They are literally SICK in the mind, body, and their SOULS.
The word, "christian" literally means, "christ-like". These people clearly don't understand that 🙄
No one could. That creature would have had to exist first.
"The Blacks!?" I nearly spit my coffee out laughing.
THE ENTIRE CIVIL WAR WAS A PROTEST! Every slave who ever ran away, or attempted to run away, from his tormentors was protesting his/her servitude.
I suppose it makes sense that the slave owners would use the guidebook inspired by the original slave owner to train their slaves.
They probably taught reading so they could read the rules of slave ownership in the bible.

"Oh wait, you're now wondering about those that have died from the beatings? It sounds like you're questioning the Lord's word now."

I love it when it cuts to you looking at the camera saying, "You know this is going to be some racist shit when the first line involves 'The Blacks.' " I'm a 70-year-old white guy and I just realized that those are two words I have never said nor written my entire life (until right now) and those two words are, "The Blacks." I've been a subscriber to your channel for a while and it wasn't until right now that I noticed you are black.
I don’t think anyone should preach while drunk 🥴
Heh. I have a hunch that with this guy it might actually help...if he does know any truth, the booze might let it leak out...
Wow. He really went there. 😲
CHRISTIANS!!! am I right 😏
It's actually pretty common among fundies...
Dear Pastor Mike:
If Christianity was true this world would not be filled with people that you and your god don't like.
His line about the slaves not going to Washington to protest slavery (with that incredulous smirk on his face as if it was obvious to himself and no one else) was the most ignorant rubbish I have ever heard coming from any public speaker, and I am in my 60s.
BuT pRoLiFeeeeeeeeeeee
Four things that I hope every black Christian that hears this one, takes away from it.
1. He called slave owners “good people” while calling slaves “wicked.”
2. There’s no hate quite like Christian love.
3. If you’re anything like me, then you probably don’t have enough hatred and indecency in you to be a Christian.
4. If you’re black and Christian, you have a very short memory. And please spare me the whole “well Christianity was already in Ethiopia” BS. Look at how that’s worked out for them.
Hey, The New Yorker recently did an interesting piece about the sabbath and the idea of it being a radical idea for rest-- a kind of worker's rights effort within religion. I thought the essay was pretty thoughtful and interesting, even as an atheist. I'd be interested to see you cover it.
Dear Sir,
Since this is quite unsoliced, but also on a public forum.
Thank you for asserting my rights (I am 60+ gay). That you
have childern means you are probably a good person. (I did
watch your Christian parenting vid. I am not athiest, but
I do consider my self agnostic. I love some of the teachings
of Jesus - Total liberal ideals. However, I see the christofacists
taking over my world.
Again thank you for your support (oddly a vet too :))
As the son of a LEGIT minister I can verify that these people ARE NOT Christian,
The Bible does not condemn slavery, but only urges masters and slaves to be "kind" to one another. It does not show the basic moral sense to realize that slavery is an affront to human dignity and is inherently "unkind". This one example alone ought to be enough to conclude that the Bible does not represent " the inerrant word of God".
Thanks for the video
Better to be an agnostic
than a hypocrite.
Quite...
