    I'm a little mystified as to how such am obviously brilliant and erudite man could hold forth and publish on such a msssively tragic theme as slavery in America without mentioning the British Empire. The British Empire's "production line" method of enforcing a global system of economic hegemony relied on the slave system of the American south to furnish Britain's own abysmal factory system in order to send cheap textiles to India (where the cloth was finished into clothing) in exchange for opium which was forced into China, thus generating astronomical profits. These profits benefited the British people almost nothing but went into the vast coffers of Britain's banking oligarchs, as well as those of useful American banking elites who were subordinate to the British elites, as well as the cynical stakeholders comprising European aristocracy who even today outrank the British by a great deal. The British were emphatic and insistent about keeping the US economy exclusively backward, agrarian and slave-based. Even aster the Revolution, the British continued to enforce their will through infiltration of American politics and through a spectrum of thoroughly unwholesome tactics that led to the war of 1812 and the Civil War. It should be remembered that the British actively supported the South during the Civil War, providing ships, munitions, uniforms and rations. Slavery was the foundation of the British Empire, which was itself the preeminent prototype for today's globalism. There is virtually no distinction whatsoever. Even the same banking families and the same basic tactics carry over into today. Slavery, drugs and economic warfare are the pillars today even as they were the pillars of yesteryear.

      @@hellooutthere8956 There are noble and royal families in Europe that far outrank the piddling Rothschilds. Remember, the Rothschilds were appointed to their position by the House of Hesse. They remain servants of the Habsburgs, to give one contemporary example. The House of Torlonia oversees the Bank for International Settlements, which is the central bank of central banks. They also oversee the US the Treasury. In terms of wealth and power, they make the Rothschilds look like mere bank clerks. It has been the practice of the Eurpoean Nobility, and especially the Italian Black Nobility, to allow the court Jews to rise above the lowly orders and to appear to control global finance, in order to distract from their own absolute tyranny. Very few people are even aware of some of these far more dominant noble and royal houses. This is by design.

    A few years ago I was having lunch in Guangzhou China with a group of Chinese businessmen, they were saying how great American Businesses were. I ask them one question, If you had 1000 worker in your factory and you only had to provide them a cheap place to live and the cheapest of food where do you think your business would be in 10 years. All of them said that their business would be very successful, I told them that the reason that America is such a successful nation in business is because America had Slaves who worked for 400 years as free laborers. I went on to explain to them that, for 400 years the businessmen of America did not have any labor cost. You should have seen the expressions on their faces. I did not have to say anything else because they now knew the real history of American Capitalism.

    Reparations need to include providing therapy to address generational trauma that was never addressed or healed. These folks had PTSD that was never acknowledged or treated and they raised children best they could and coping best they could- and each generation suffered trauma. That contributes to mental and emotional state of ADOS that country should pay to help repair. Also reparations should provide tracing family trees. ADOS we’re separated from roots from Africa, to many points in Americas or Caribbean. Don’t know their roots or family. Need to repair that breach. How can a branch survive when cut from its tree?

    I recently found the sales note of my family who were sold into slavery in the Mississippi delta in the early 1700’s. for around $33,000, which is 2 plus million dollars today. They were on that plantation until the mid 1900’s because they were too poor to move. They tried to do share cropping and we all know how that turned out. My grandfather was born and raised on that plantation and I am 64 years old. So, that is how close slavery is to me. My grandmother was an indigenous Indian woman by name and birth, but black by law, her husband, my grandfather was an Italian by way of Argentina. This is not a story by word of mouth, it is from actual documents. Make it make sense.

      50% of all slaves sold in Africa indeed were criminals, and adultery was the principal crime. The others were prisoners captured in war or by slavers. Africans did not come to America as victims of the white man. They were captured, imprisoned, and enslaved or killed (the lucky ones were the slaves as the other half of the criminals got the only other sentence for crimes - death). Black animists and Muslims enslaved their own people in Africa and sold them to Muslims north of the Niger River and to other tribes in Africa and to traders from Europe and the Americas. The African slave was a victim of his own race, who enslaved him and then sold him. The international slave trade ended in 1808, but the last slaves came to the United States in 1860 the ship picked up its cargo in Africa, and the captain bought his goods by picking out his purchase from a pen holding 1000 Africans and he bought them from an African chief, long after the slave trade ended officially with Europeans and Americans, and there was a Slave Naval embargo imposed on the Africa coast.

I haven’t seen documentaries of those pickers being lashed, tortured and castrated and more other things after they’ve finished their work day!
    Although it’s wrong and one may consider this as a concept of modern slavery this concept is by any means comparable to what happened to generations of slaves of black people!

He would smile and be very polite. I had never seen him smile so much unless he was talking to one of the babies. Whenever Mr. Jackson came around I ran to the back of the house. I didn't like Papa acting so humble. Papa would start hollering for us to get the vegetables off the back of the truck. But I would stay in the back until I heard his truck leave.

    • @tonjirucker999
      @tonjirucker999 Před rokem +12

      It's been said that enslaved people in the Caribbean and South America may have suffered the harshest pains with shorter lives in that they were worked sun-up to sun-up, using all human strength until an immenant death and regularly replaced with another shipment of bodies as needed. Many did not live beyond mid-twenties in age for men, or thier late-teens for women. The transport of enslaved people ended in those places before the US did.
      In the US, however, when the US was supposed to end transporting Africans, it did not. Then when they did, in order to keep a steady supply of enslaved they did atrocious things to keep a ongoing population. Longer lives were more valuable than short ones and RE-population was critical. Hence enslaved young women were forced to be impregnated and provide as many as 20 births (+/-) each by other unknown enslaved Africans or their captor. "American" slaves endured and relentlessly birthed a lifetime and legacy of suffering 400 years long.
      Conclusion: Whether six in one hand or a half dozen in another, both extremes uprooted millions of people scattered over the world for the wealth & pleasure of their captors. The sufferings of chattle slavery were the difference of a guaranteed personal fast death or a panoramic view of a miserable life of slow, deep suffering for you and everyone you knew.

    I believe this is long overdue and vitally needed, however, just providing scholarships will not compensate for the crushing, irreparable damage done to African Americans over generations physically, psychologically, and financially infinitely. I suggest that not merely educating African Americans but provide free land, homes, counseling, and support to build up communities of their own which would help build self assteem, reassemble a great deal of the dignity and sense of family lost. Money is not only the solution but it's an important part as we live in a capitalist society in which most of us are left lacking the capital to survive generationally as a result of the capitalist system in America built and driven and sustained by the slavery of African Americans.

      There was nothing free about institutional slavery in America. Many planters wished they could get out from under this system. In 1786 Virginia passed a manumission act that permitted slaves to remain in the state, contrary to Northern states that ran their freed slaves out of their states. This law retired slaves at 45 and the master had to maintain them for the rest of their lives with shelter, food, clothing, and medical care. Slavery was not free. It was a welfare burden upon the owner. Slaves approaching the retirement age had no incentive to leave the plantations and those in retirement had no reason whatsoever to leave, especially if it was the home of all their extended family and they were going to be cared for the rest of their lives. Slaves also had legal protections. The plantation was their home and where their families lived and had lived for generations.
      Freeing the slaves only shifted the welfare system which was financed and controlled privately, but which gave legal protections to slaves, and which got work out of people and created social order, into a public welfare system where many of these same folks today do nothing but exist and breed, produce no work, and are engaged in criminality. Moreover, the state now controls the welfare system by giving out food vouchers, housing, schooling, etc., which everyone has to pay for. This is all just a different form of slavery. The latter often led to slaves buying their own freedom, even owning slaves themselves, becoming capitalists, craftsmen, and merchants, and integrating into society naturally.

      I did not feel that this presentation was helpful to the dialog taking place in the 21st century. He starts by saying that much of America’s prosperity was enabled by slaves. The economic growth of most of the states that stayed in the Union during the Civil War came from entrepreneurs and legal immigrants. In the slave holding states, aside from Delaware, most of the wealthy were slave holders. However, many of them were no longer wealthy after that war. This lecturer does not mention the huge price in lives paid by the Union states to fight against slavery. The number of Union dead may be over 400,000. He appears to call for reparations. That money would have to come from today’s taxpayers, who had no voice in the slavery issue. Their ancestors never benefitted from slavery. Mr. Baptist fails to note that most slave-produced cotton lost much of their market when Jefferson Davis withheld the southern cotton crop from England. Instead of entering the Civil War on the side of the south. Instead, England found that cotton grew well in India. Slavery was evil. No argument there. However, constantly revisiting the issue and argueing that white Americans should feel guilty or be punished for an evil that ended over 80 years before they were born. Also, like many of my ancestors, their ancestors did not live in America at that time.

      @@keithranker3908 First off let me say that I have never, not once heard anyone say white people should feel guilty about slavery. That's just made up nonsense people use to argue against any true telling of the history of slavery. Anyone that feels guilt over something they did not due is an idiot. The reasons why we teach the historical role slavery played in this country, is the same reason we teach any history, to educate ourselves so we can continue to evolve as a species. The reason people push back and attack certain studies and teachings is very simple, they feel the idealized image they have been shown since birth and have come to identify with, actually has some defects. Some find that frightening. The history of this country that has been taught and ingrained into the fabric of our society has been one that is thoroughly scubbed of its stains. If you were anything other than a white male you did not exist in school books for most of this country's existance. Little by little people are gaining an understanding of the importance of acceptance. Each generation learns a bit more truth, and that knowledge is what leads to understanding and growth. There will always be some who will refuse to grow. They will claim something is bad because it may turn kids gay, or make them want to pray to Lucifer, or make them feel guilty, it's all just a way of covering your ears and saying nahnahnanahna.

    And you shall become a horror, a proverb, and a byword (N-Word) among all the peoples where the LORD will lead you away.
    A people that you do not know (America's) will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days.
    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.
    You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and rape her. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit. Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them. Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand. A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days. The sights you see will drive you mad
    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.
    The Lord will drive you and the king you set over you to a nation (America's) unknown to you or your ancestors. There you will worship other gods, gods of wood (Cross) and (Kabaa) stone.
    You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life.
    When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come on you and you take them to heart wherever the Lord your God disperses you among the nations, and when you and your children return to the Lord your God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you.”
    But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions."
    Amos 9:7
    Are ye not as children of the Cushites unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt?)
    In Zephaniah 3:10, the prophet proclaims:
    From beyond the rivers of Cush my worshipers, my scattered people, will bring me offerings
    God is speaking of gathering His lost sheep back to Him. Beyond the rivers of Ethiopia - which is East Africa - lies West Africa.
    Revelation 2:9
    I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
    Isaiah 42:22
    But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

    The Igbo people (English :also spelled Ibo and formerly also Iboe, Ebo, Eboe, Eboans ,[Heebo]; natively Ṇ́dị́ Ìgbò
    The Igbo people are an ethnic group native to the present-day south-central and southeastern Nigeria. There has been much speculation about the origins of the Igbo people, as it is unknown how exactly the group came to form.
    The word for Hebrew used in the Bible is עברי (pronounced "Ivri"),
    Côte d'Ivoire ("Cote d' Ivri" ) The coast of the Hebrews .
    Eri
    In Genesis 46:16 Eri (עֵרי "watchful") is the son of Gad. He was the progenitor of the Erites. (Numbers 26:16)
    Aguleri, meaning "Agulu of Eri", is a town in southeastern Nigeria. It is a major cradle of Igbo civilization, and the first settlement of Eri (Eri-aka) was in Aguleri. Its Ezeora dynasty, which has produced 34 kings to date, is one of the oldest in eastern Nigeria.
    The Tribe of Dan (Hebrew: דָּן‎), meaning, "Judge", was one of the tribes of Israel, according to the Torah. They were allocated a coastal portion of land when the people of Israel entered the Promised Land
    Dan people
    The Dan are a Mande ethnic group from northwestern Ivory (Ivri) Coast and neighboring Liberia. There are approximately 700,000 members of the group and their largest settlement is Man, Ivory (Ivri) Coast. Neighboring peoples include the Krahn, Kpelle and Mano. They are officially known as Yacouba (or Yakouba) in Ivory (Ivri)Coast.
    Yacouba” a corruption of the Hebrew “Yacob” in English known as “Jacob”?
    Due to the Assyrian captivity and exile of the 10 Northern Tribes of Israel, as well as the scattering of Israel after the revolt at Masada, as well as the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. it is believed many Danites ventured into Africa, settling in what is now known as the Sudan (SuDAN) and Ghana, also call GaDangme, meaning “People of Gad and Dan.” Ancient Ghana was referred to as Wagandu. Dan is also believed to have settled in Dahomey or Dan Homey, which being translated means, “Belly of Dan” and is now known as the Benin Republic and Togo. As a result of such scattering it is believes some of Dan possibly mingled or merged with the Igbo’s of Gad and become the sect of Igbo who reveres and later began to worship pythons. Some scholars links this to the prophesied paganization of exiled Israel as recorded in Deut. 28 as well as Jacobs prophetic blessing linking Dan to a serpent (Gen. 49:17).
    Genesis 36:27
    The sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan and (Akan).
    The Akan (/ˈækæn/) are a meta-ethnicity living in the countries of present-day Ghana and Ivory Coast.
    Akan culture can also be found in the Americas, where a number of their descendants were taken as captives. Roughly ten percent of all slave ships that embarked from the Gold Coast contained Akan people.
    Ezekiel 16:3
    This is what the Sovereign LORD says to Jerusalem: Your ancestry and birth were in the land of the Canaanites; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.
    The term Amorites is used in the Bible to refer to certain highland mountaineers who inhabited the land of Canaan, described in Genesis 10:16 as descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham.
    Heth (Bible) Heth is, according to Genesis 10:15, the second son of Canaan, who is son of Ham, son of Noah. Heth is the ancestor of the Hittites, second of the twelve Canaanite nations descended from his sons, who lived near Hebron (Genesis 23:3,7).
    Uwriyah: "flame of Yah", the name of a Hittite and of two Israelites.
    Yah may refer to:
    Jah, shortened form of Yahweh, the Hebrew name for God.
    Kum ba yah" ("Come by Here") is an African American spiritual of disputed origin, but known to be sung in the Gullah culture of the islands off South Carolina and Georgia, with ties to enslaved West Africans.
    praise the Lord
    Hallelujah, also spelled alleluia, Hebrew liturgical expression meaning “praise ye Yah” (“praise the Lord”). It appears in the Hebrew Bible in several psalms, usually at the beginning or end of the psalm or in both places.
    Ouidah
    historically also called Whydah , Juda, Juida by the French and Ajudá by the Portuguese, formally the Kingdom of Whydah (so named for the Whydah Bird of Paradise), is a city on the coast of the Republic of Benin.
    It served as a major outlet for the transatlantic slave trade. Between the seventeenth and the nineteenth centuries, Ouidah was the most important embarkation point for slaves in the region of West Africa known to outsiders as the Slave Coast.

      Not just universities but these subjects should be brought before the general public on a regular basis to break down racism on all levels. Ever notice that the racial violence generally starts among the less educated and because they assume history that is not accurate. Perhaps if the truth was generally known, they would not act in ignorance of the facts.

    This is all extemely important, but let us not restrict our critical scholarship and judgment to the past. While the buying and selling or persons is outlawed today, the renting of persons is still endemic with us. I recently read that Abraham Lincoln thought a big difference between slavery and wage labor ws that the former is a permanent not a temporary condition. I myself always felt abused by being a "human resource" not a peer in civil discourse and cooperative endeavor in the domain of social production.

      Excuse if the following news article form The NYT is a repeat but it seem to me important:
      The New York Times, +2021.08.27, "New York's Private Schools Tackle White Privilege. It Has Not Been Easy.", by Michael Powell.
      "In February 2021, Paul Rossi, a math teacher [at Grace Church School, an elite private school in Manhattan]... met with a white consultant, who displayed a slide that named supposed characteristics of white supremacy. These included
      individualism,
      worship of the written word and
      objectivity.'
      Mr. Rossi said he felt a twist in his stomach. 'Objectivity?' he told the consultant, according to a transcript. 'Human attributes are being reduced to racial traits.' 'As you look at this list', the consultant asked,' are you having "white feelings"?' 'What,' Mr. Rossi asked, 'makes a feeling "white"?' Some of the high school students then echoed his objections. 'I'm so exhausted with being reduced to my race,' a girl said. 'The first step of antiracism is to racialize every single dimension of my identity.'... A school official reprimanded Mr. Rossi, accusing him of 'creating a neurological imbalance' in students.... A few days later the head of school wrote a statement and directed teachers to read it aloud in classes: 'When someone breaches our professional norms... the response includes a warning in their permanent file that a further incident of unprofessional conduct could result in dismissal.' A sizable group of parents and teachers say the schools have taken it too far -- and enforced suffocating and destructive groupthink on students... [One parent], who notes that his heritage is a mix of Jewish, Mexican and Yaqui tribe, pulled his children out of Riverdale and created a foundation to argue against this sort of antiracist education. 'The insistence on teaching race consciousness is a fundamental shift into a sort of tribalism,' he said.... This conflict plays out amid the high peaks of American economic inequality. Tuition at many of New York's private schools hovers between $53,000 and $58,000, the most expensive tab in the nation. Many heads of school make between $580,000 to more than $1.1 million. .... Grace Church School offered [Mr. Rossi] a contract if he participated in 'restorative practices' for the supposed harm done to students of color."

    The attempts to end slavery were long anticipated. The fights to get it done were deeply necessary and we thank God for our humane people of guts and intellectual awareness who made the end of slavery possible. The acknowledgement by the Monarchy of the wrongs slavery meted out is worth acceptance with Forgiveness by everyone. How to compensate for the loss of Black people can be dealt with reasonably even if not fully sufficiently. Forgiveness and love are still important to every relationship.
