“Why don’t they tell us that in school?!”
Because there are people who have a vested interest in keeping people divided. Because when we come together shit actually changes.
For fear of being politically incorrect. Parents need more involvement to bring history to light.
As a former teacher, I can add that many - if not most - teachers are pretty stupid. They buy into what they’re fed in college schools of “education” which put a notably Marxist twist on everything. Everything from racism to climate change is spun to fit a distinctly left-wing narrative. Most teachers have little genuine passion for knowledge or sharing their interests with a young audience aside from the promotion of social[ist] issues.
They tell yoo this slavery shit to keep peeple divided.
Yoo just doo not get it at all.
Yoo R being indoctrinated.
America relies on peeple being divided.
@@cliffordljacksonjr8020 No such fear exists.
Sowell's stuff is nonsense and does not actually come from him.
@@ondolite3789 Of course you are smarter, wiser, and vastly more enlightened than the globally respected, proven economic and historical genius, Thomas Sowell! The audacity is monumental!
The other thing to remember is slavery isn't dead! It's still alive and kicking we just call it by a different name now, human trafficking.
Debt/wage slavery
@@woahblackbettybamalam That too, though it often walks hand in hand with trafficking like in Dubai. Funny how everyone likes to bitch about China and N.Korea's human rights records while almost completely ignoring places like Dubai, who at this very minute have thousands of slaves building their gawdy skyscrapers!
@@woahblackbettybamalam That's not Slavery. You are willingly using Money that you do not have, willingly indebting yourself in order to buy things you can't afford, then willingly go to work to pay that stuff off. You can go live off the grid, the reason why you don't is because that life is 10 times harder than working a job and taking out loans willingly. Children as young as 5 would be needed to work around the homestead and work until they died of old age if they made it that far. Debt Slavery is nonsensical. Debt is you willingly getting yourself into debt, not like they are forcing it on you like Slavery is.
Slavery exists in larger numbers today than it ever has but mainly in Middle Eastern countries.
@@briansearle6868 I agree expect the willingly aspect. It's more so about being kept ignorant of it until you are so deep into it that it seems unnatural to be without and you cling to it as if it is the natural way. And then if you figure out "going off grib" you'd have to know the system so well that you can refute when the system makes a claim to your freedom because once enough people notice the system it would fall apart dethroning those at the top of the system that benefit the most from people's ignorance.
I would think as a black man it would feel liberating to know these truths. Who really wants to hate? It's self destructive, depressing and diminishes your own humanity.
Never feel guilty when you learn something that was kept from you, Leo. You're a human being like the rest of us and we were deceived growing up as well. You're a real good guy.
You should feel guilty for hating white people for this
Anytime you hear the term trafficking, know that it's just a euphemism for slavery.
Trafficking just means illegal trade, hence drug trafficking.
@@Sagnus1 people dont call drug trafficking "trafficking". Trafficking referes to the trade of humans hence slavery
@@jasonbelcho8609 they literally do? "Trafficking" refers to any illegal trade. That's why the phrase "human trafficking" exists.
Trafficking is selling, transporting, or importing something, anything, illegally. It could refer to whatever noun you put in front of it hence, drug trafficking, human trafficking, organ trafficking, etc.
@@jawbone78 dude ik the fucking definition of it but thats not how its used by general public
“Why don’t they tell us that in school?”
Because schools teach you what to think, not how to think. It’s in the interest of the ruling class to keep everyone else bickering and fighting amongst themselves, and in that way, we can never rise up against them.
Traditional k-12 education is designed to pump out factory workers.
Divide and conquer
board of education is as f'd as all the gov
True, has nothing to do with the school itself. This curriculum is taught at both the “best” and “worst” schools.
The reason why " this" isn't taught in schools is because it's a distortion of true facts, one being the "arrival" of slavery to the African continent via The Moors...as if there had been no slavery there before then. That's just one example but the main issue is that videos like this feature so called African people using European male talking points to seduce their own ethnic group! That is what Afro people should remember, indeed, all people as the similar tactics are being used on Latino radio!
"So why don't they tell us that though?"
EXACTLY!!!
5:58 "A myth ?"
that's an honest reaction: mix of surprise, disbelief and anger
This is factual. I am African and this has always been known, it also hasn't fully gone away. Xenophobia and attacks towards "foreign Africans" still is common in some African countries.
Aye, for some reason us westerners seem to view Africa as some big homogeneous whole rather than a continent with vastly different countries, cultures, histories and peoples.
A Yoruba is as different from a Maasai, as a Spaniard is from a Swede!
@@BeardyBaldyBob They have the most genetic diversity of all the continents.
especially south Africa
@@BeardyBaldyBob - Uhhh, speak for yourself? This "Westerner" knows damn well that Africa is a continent with its own diversity and complexities. Don't as-seem. ;-)
@@machtnichtsseimannUgh ffs!
You understood damn well the point I was making.
No need to be a pedantic ass about it to try and look clever....
Few things as awesome, as watching a young black person learn the truths about our history. Thomas Sowell is the man. His teachings will save millions.
"The love of money is the root of all evil"...often misquoted as "Money is the root...".
Good video, mate!
And more accurate would be the love of power.
Money is only attractive due to the power that comes with it.
Gets new information.
Processes info.
Makes understanding and reasonable comments.
Learns something new like an adult.
Do you know how rare that is on CZcams? Keep it up.
I went to school in North Seattle back in the "70's". We were taught this in our history class in 7th grade. Amazing to me that our schools are in the process of uneducating the generations.
Agreed. It is very strange to watch people be educated on subjects that used to be taught. It always makes me wonder just what younger generations actually believe, incorrectly, about other subjects.
Agreed. The federal government took control over the education system in the late ‘70’s then the information disappeared.
They want to erase history and rewrite it.
The government run education system is doing what it was designed to do...
Produce uneducated minions to work menial jobs.
Alex Haley's Roots did a lot of damage as it distorted the truth tremendously. As young people don't read anymore, but only watch video, they do watch Roots - The Slavery's Bible - but they never READ the truth. Kids used to grow up with mom at home and a boogieman father, that would punish them if they did their mother wrong. Which kept them from running wild. They learned lots of things at home. Today both parents work. Kids are dumped at pre-school. Only humans and cuckoos do this. Every other mammal takes care of their own offspring first and for all. Even birds with their dinosaur brains take better care of their offspring. Consequence is that school has to fill the void, thinning the educational time to learn hw to read, write, do calculus, etc. Every generation gets less attention from ther parents and learns less at school. Try to find someone over 50 who can't calculate how much change to give back. If an oldy has to pay let's say, $ 10,10 with a twenty dollar bill and doesn't want a shipload of small change, he'll add a dime to what he has to pay. Now try to find a youngster to understand that. Usually they shove the dime back and look at you like if you don't understand that the twenty is enough to pay the bill. As the phones became smart, our kids became stupid.
It is always important to remember our history, but it is more important that we remember it accurately. We definitely can't live in our past. We have to acknowledge how far we've come and use that to guide our future. Those who forget their past are doomed to repeat it.
@@manolo5042 Nah, I've heard it a number of times before. Looked it up. Apparently Spanish philosopher George Santayana coined it. His quote was “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Those who do learn history are forced to watch others repeat it. Thank you for making the point that things are in fact better than they used to be.
Yuuuuuuup!
There's a LOT of historical information that seems to have been covered up and forgotten about over time!
So much vital information about true events throughout history that is neither taught, discussed, or even acknowledge!
This causes an extremely narrow point view, and not one based on reality.
@@AndyHoke unfortunately you are correct
They don't tell us because as long as we hate each other, we are too busy to see what they are doing to all of us.
It's simple young man. United we stand, divided we fall.
You’re right about slavery still existing. They call it “human trafficking,” now, probably to keep people confused about what it actually is: the buying and selling of people, which is also the definition of slavery.
Or they just don't talk about it... Like the open slave auctions in the town square happening in Libya now (after the US backed coup outed their leader Gaddafi leaving a power vacuum). Hilary Clinton famously laughed about this when she said "We came, We saw, He Died hahahaha"
It's a smaller % of the total population, but there is a higher number of humans enslaved today than there ever was in history.
Actually it’s adoption
And they don’t even care about the color of skin …. Just about the $$$ coming in😢.
Slavery is the government
@@alive2583lol
Please watch the British crusade against slavery, I've watched many Americans react to it and are always shocked, the battle of Bamber Bridge is another good video it tells the story of how British people of Bamber Bridge took the side of black American soldiers and fought against segregation
😆 I'm American and I love the scene at the end of "Amistad" that shows the British shelling that slave fortress. The officer is so dry and English as he repeats the command, "Fire.....fire....fire...............fire." 👏
Mr. Video you were great tonight and I am very proud of you♥️♥️ I’m a 72 yr old white great grandmother that was born and raised in the south. In 1963 the black schools were closed and all black students were move to white schools. And you know what…..they became the best friends in the world😂🎉🎉❤❤❤
Idc if you take anything from the vid you watched, but just the fact that you decided to learn more about this subject (or any subject for that matter) is awesome. Education these days is so manipulated that personal research has never been more vital so that people may come to our OWN conclusions rather than being told what to think. Applause to you and thank you for sharing the vid. Love
Dude, there's dozens of countries around the world where slavery still exists TODAY.
There's nearly 50 million people living in slavery TODAY.
If we go back a few hundred years, nearly everyone on the planet has ancestors who lived in chains. It was a crap world, and in some places... it still is. Be thankful to have been born in prosperous times, in a prosperous place.
Absolutely correct.
You're a slave to your bank and government, house payments, taxes, car licenses and insurance, nobody is free.
@@johngillespie3409 - A slave has no choice in the matter... stop pretending that the things you DECIDE to do are somehow equivalent to slavery. Stop pretending that you can't get out of those things. Those are choices you make, and things that are voted into being. Pretending that your own choices make you a 'victim', or that it's (in any way) akin to slavery... is a virtue signaling master class. Just stop.
@@Mr.Ekshin decide to stop paying rent, I don't want to pay rent, nobody does, but what happens, you lose your house. Decide to stop paying taxes, what happens you go to jail. That is slavery.
@@johngillespie3409 - Don't rent... buy a place. And if you don't want to pay the bank, don't borrow their money. If you want lower taxes, vote for it, or move someplace where taxes are lower. Better yet, move to some uninhabited place where you're beholden to noone but your own wits. You are free to make these choices. You HAVE choices, and thus, you're not a 'slave'... not even close. Stop riding that pity train. Nobody feels bad for you.
Thomas Sowell should be mandatory reading. I learned more about history and economics reading Discrimination and Disparities (2018) and Economic Facts and Fallacies (2008) than I did reading any economics or history textbook growing up.
Thomas Sowell, Carl Sagan, Strauss/Howe. All should be required reading
Amen.
I disagree. Just "Basic Economics" being mandatory in k-12 ABD college would solve most of Americans economic policies.
If I were god emperor I'd institute that and first aid/cpr/aed
@@justaguy2365 Walter Williams as well
Right on skeleton.....
Thank you for having an open mind and understanding the facts. It's refreshing!!
GOD BLESS YOU Mr Video! Sing that Anthem my man!
Hey man, you never need to apologize for not knowing something.
The most important part is that you're willing to learn, that is harder and is worthy of respect.
We should apologize for not knowing in a way. Bad behavior, even in ignorance still causes damage to others.
Power and greed can eat a mans soul. It still leaves me dumbfounded how evil some humans can become.
Under certain circumstances we ( humans) are all capable of unspeakable things
How wonderful that western cultures fought so hard and led the way against slavery.
@@AndyHoke and then we vote in presidents who help create the Libya crisis of modern day slavery.
@@faychel8383 You believe the US created slavery. Flies in the face of history dude.
@@AndyHoke and when did I say I believe the us created slavery? Or do you deny Obama helped create the crisis in Libya? Or are you just illiterate? Because even perfect admits he messed up. And how did he not bring back modern day slavery if slavery auctions are literally back? How can you not see the irony that he was voted in by our citizens who benefit from western culture? How is that to be interpreted as “the us created slavery”? Your comprehension is terrible.
“US President Barack Obama has said failing to prepare for the aftermath of the ousting of Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi was the worst mistake of his presidency.”
One must remember that slavery was started as a business, simply because the indigenous people preferred death over slavery. Tobacco and cotton exhausted the land, hence the need for larger and larger land tracts, hence the need for more slaves. Farms in the new world needed labor, both slave, and indentured servants from Scotland Ireland, and Germany. This system of profit was so huge, that it took hundreds of years to finally come to a legal end. If African Americans are kept in perpetual anger by an institution that was from another era, it will keep a wall of anger that cannot be surpassed or even understood. Simply put, anger keeps people from thinking clearly, logically, and most importantly, the ability to advance and move forward in growth and development
My father was a business man and he once told me that business cannot afford to be racists.
There are still slaves, sadly. When Quadaffi was removed from power in Libya, chaos ruled, and open-air slave markets returned to Tripoli. Most of the enslaved are young men lured away from sub-Saharan nations for legitimate work, then they have their identification papers taken away.
Not just that, pretty much all of Dubai and the modern cities in wealthy Gulf states were built with a modernized form of slave labor.
Thank you for pointing that out, I've been scanning the comments to see how many people realize slavery never truly ended it just has different faces now, sadly not many people seem to know 😞 if people would look into who picks the bananas, coffee and chocolate most people would be shocked how much slave labor produced products we buy every day.
Same thing happens in Saudi Arabia when young Africans go there for work.
Like x
Shit, there are farms in the US doing this to Mexican migrant workers - seize their legal documents.
Great job. “They must find it difficult, those who accept authority as truth rather than truth as the authority”
Literally what you're doing. You're believing this bullshit, dishonest, lying video because you believe the source, not because it contains actual truth.
@@jawbone78agree to disagree brother
@@elevatedmemories4178 I don't agree to that! 😄
@@jawbone78 it’s your right to believe what you choose
@@elevatedmemories4178 that last comment was a joke (Simpsons reference). You do you, I'll do me.
That fact that you've made this reaction is great. Don't fret that you "didn't know" or "weren't taught" stuff like this. Heck, at some "higher education" institutions (including Harvard, I believe) you can obtain a degree in "history" without having to take one course of American hisrtory. We were all given a mind to think and learn and one of the best ways to do so is learn by self-study. You are striving to learn and I commend you.
Everybody wants in...so simple and spot on
“Why don’t they tell us all that?”
Now you’re asking the right question!
Thomas Sowell is a brilliant man. This should be taught in all schools
I Was born in 1960. Began school 1965. I was taught all about slavery. Ottoman, African, Dutch, British & all country’s.
We are all never too old to learn.
My moms friend is from Rwanda. She survived by playing dead in a pile of dead bodies. She said a US soldier noticed her and saved her because they was impressed at the fact shes still alive. Which is very weird to me. But then again, I wasn't there.
If I can re-call the only involvement of U.S troops was to evacuate American citizens before the carnage. A small deployment of United Nation peacekeepers were the only soldiers there, led by a Canadian Commander, the Western world ignored the genocide. A large number of Pakistani peacekeepers were murdered.🤔
What was weird to you? Can you explain in a bit more detail please
@@kimyanchus582 are you actually going to pretend that you know anyting about the military's involvement across the world? America is operational every single day in 134 countries worldwide. Why don't you please tell us what else is going on genius. What because you didn't hear about it, it must not be? It is amazing the way people bare their ass to society with the things that they say and don't even realize they should be embarrassed for it.
@@yrntthelibswipedofftheeart16 Because our boys "just follow orders".
america didnt exspect anyone to survive
Problem a few years before american soldeirs died in a shit down helicopter during a un peace keeping operation
So america didnt want to get involved in rwanda they chose to stay out of a war And gave in To the idia that the genicide wasnt their buisness to stop
The ameeicans chose not to give militery suport to stopping the genicide
I'm from Canada with a Greek background, extensive information about slavery was actually taught in Greek school, since the curriculum involved a lot of emphasis on history, I remember around 2004 a black girl from the U.S started working at a local restaurant I went to everyday because I would chill there with friends after work on the terrace, through a random conversation she stated that she was going to convert to Islam because there was never slavery in Islam and they are inclusive, our circle of friends are mostly Greek so we started laughing, told her that Greeks were slaves under Ottoman rule for 400 years and that the longest lasting slave trade of African people was the Arab Islamic slave trade that made the Atlantic slave trade look humane in comparison. She had no idea that there was slavery outside of Africa and the U.S, told her there was slaver everywhere, China, India, Middle East, Polynesia, heck even natives of the America's such as the Mayans and Incas had slaves before white people came to their land her biggest surprise was learning that the biggest slave traders were actually Jews and that Africans enslaved other Africans.
There were never slaves in Islam oh my god i busted my ass laughing.
England didn’t have slaves. English people participated in the slave trade individually and there were English slave owners in the Caribbean, but Slavery was outlawed in England as early as the 1200’s. There are several cases in which it was upheld in court that a slave, upon setting foot on English soil, was freed.
England and the British Empire did more to end the slave trade than any other nation ever. Everyone talking about how the Empire and British colonialism was bad, we ended Slavery in every nation we colonised.
how did she react?
Boom! You history wrecked her.
@@realburglazofficial2613 So there was no slavery after 1200 what about surf them what about the king being able to kill whoever he wanted at any time Tell that to the Scotts and Irish
This is what we were always thought the internet would be... People having access to hidden information.
Leo your a man that educated yourself! Impressive
I absolutely love Mr. Sowell. Listening to him, I've grown to be better informed, more compassionate, and much better at critical thinking, making me a better all around better person. Tomas Sowell is soo knowledgeable on/of a range of many important issues facing all of us today. I wish more people would listen to and get their facts from him before inciting harmful rhetoric.
Sowell is a certified🦝. There's a reason racist Trump supporters prop him up.
So true!! 💯
"When there's money involved everbody wants in" you freaking nailed it, and it's still going on.
That is a universal truth, from the beginning of time, and as long as there are people, will continue.
Thomas Sowell IS BRILLANT IN THIS WHIT MANS VIEW.
Thomas Sowell is my favorite economist not because he's black, but because he's SMART!
I'm a 60 year old white man and I don't want to hate any skin color. I don't want to be hated for my skin color. The overwhelming majority of this country just want to get along, raise our families, earn a living and enjoy people of all ethnicites. The left will never allow this and that's why they sow racism and hate where none exists.
I enjoyed watching your reaction and your patriotism.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
I've been recently been learning that my/our school's teach only what they want to teach us. And I'm still learning. School curriculum must change imo. In ALL ways. Great video Leo
If you have children, please look into the exodus institute. It’s a fully accredited online school that teaches all history. The good, bad, and ugly. They don’t follow political narratives Our daughter will be attending this upcoming year. Please do yourself, and your family this favor. God bless
Thomas Sowell is a brilliant man..an American treasure. I fell in love with his voice when he was talking on tv one time when I was in my teens. Still love his voice and admire his brilliance and character.
Thomas Sowell is considered an Uncle Tom by African Americans. This whole video is misleading and makes excuses for Europeans treatment of blacks. You must not know much history if you think he's great.
Sorry, National treasures sometimes tend to fluff the nation they are treasures of, there was a civil war in one new country over sessasion which can be attributed to views on slavery among other things, slavery wasn't immediately abolished because of a war, a war that wasn't totally about slavery, in a small newly created isolationist country, less than half its current size. But this gets prime position in his talk, bigged up so to speak. In fact the only mention of the stopping of slavery in the whole peice,one sentence, that is misleading about the total motives of the civil war, excludes the bigger worldwide factors and slightly perpetuates the Abe Lincoln stopped slavery misconception, especially held in the USA.
Would be better if he spoke on this of world issues and the stopping of slavery worldwide, and maybe, just maybe, at least mention the country that first abolished slavery in it lands, then in it holdings, then formed a naval force at its publics expense, entirely for the prevention of slavery, impelling other countries through might and strength to stop slavery, through force, cohersion and blockade. All before Abe Lincoln was even a politician.
The United Kingdom did far more to stop slavery than anyone else, but Thomas Sowell (you know, being a US national treasure) fails to even mention that none US irrelevance here, he has better videos on the subject than this, which includes the important reasons for abolition.
@@antonytye3484 This is just one small reading from his book that contains info. about slavery. He goes into more detail about how slavery was ended and who was involved in the process in other videos. You might want to check out his channel before making certain assumptions.
@@antonytye3484 try reading his books, you do realize he has many books right?
@@antonytye3484 There's a LOT he intentionally doesn't mention!!!
Like when he said "back in the 1920's celebrities used to visit black cities like Harlem" for the great musical entertainment, but also because quote: "well back then it wasn't a jungle"!
Um yeah perhaps it wasn't "a jungle" for them, but....
Is he really just going to pretend that monumental shit was happening at that exact moment in time he specifically pulled from?
So the race riots, Rosewood, Tulsa aka black Wallstreet just aren't worth mentioning?
There is no black and white, just strong and vulnerable. In the immortal words of one Jackie moon (semi-pro), everybody love everbody dammit.
My Irish Great Great Grandparents met in San Francisco while they were both indentured servants for the same family in the 1800’s. ✨
Being human is rough man. It's harder for some than others, but suffering is the one thing we all have in common. The human experience should be acknowledged and respected towards all
No, you haven't suffered little, tiny human. If you had then youd know that you're an evil thing, a human and you therefore must be destroyed. This is the only truth, learned by people who have actually suffered. You're soft. Easy life. Stop lying.
You are 100% right, brother; it’s about money, power, and greed, not about the color of the skin wherever they can get to do their work regardless of color
I'm a southern white man..but I feel just like you..I got a hard heart..and I got a soft heart..why the hell you wanna hurt, terrorize, kill, or enslave anyone..or anything..evil I guess...as proud as I am of my southern heritage..id have fought with the north..just like a few if my north carolina ancestors did..the mountain folk from there didn't believe in that shit..we worked for our own shit..but its been that way before biblical times..love your reaction dude..keep em comin...62 year old former marine from south carolina...
Can I just say that I know this can be a tough topic, but I give you mad respect for being willing to have this discussion. You’re clearly intelligent. You’re not a sheep. You’re take on money being the villain here is spot on. Just remember… it’s not over. And our govt is protecting those that participate.
Sadly the act of slavery and or human trafficking are still active today even in America. Over 167 countries still practice some form of modern slavery
If you buy made in China...
Happy to see you go down that path Leo, nothing is better to know the real history and being able to think for yourself. YEEE!
blessings to you....✌
We are Americans no matter what color you are we all need to stand together as Americans and get rid of the lies that our government pushes on people because the lies are what divid us.
Thomas Sowell is a highly intelligent man. This stuff should be taught in school because most people won’t do their own research.
Thomas Sowell is paid handsomely by a racist right-wing think tank to spout their anti-black rhetoric.
Those in power tell history the way they want it told. Unfortunately, most just accept the narrative and never question and research for truth.
Oy vey shut it down!
The biggest eye opener I found was learning 80 percent of slaves owners were Israelites. Makes you wonder why they employed whites to do the dirty work. Story of the colonialism, make whites do the dirty work so they can be blamed later on.
sad that "research" has become watching youtube videos from random sources.
@@shiftymenno At this point a random person has just as much credibility as the mainstream news...
Define "research".
" Sorry I am sitting here looking pissed" I am with you there,
Truth!
“The LOVE of money is the root of all evil.” Giving a man money instead of teaching him to earn it won’t help them just make’s them dependent which leads to SLAVERY all over again!
Not only that but when you add politics and religion to the mix everything gets worst
Resources are the roots to all evil 🤞🏽
If Africa had no Oil,gold,coal,diamonds,chrome etc
All this wouldn't existed our rich soil made predators go crazee.
Regardless of life there.. they had to benefit them no matter what.
Luckily they succeeded only 1 black man owns a mine in Africa over 2000 + mines. 👏🏽
We paid the peace price still now we will take the blame 'we started slavery' i wish it was true but it's not.
Africans before whites were enslaved by Arabs for 800 years they than joined forces with whites and handed us over 😂 let your Author keep feeding you with sweets I understand u far away from home myb it's for peace sake 🤷🏽♀️
Debt slavery one of the most common forms back in the day
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure!! He is a Historian without a motive or agenda, just facts!
Sowell is not a historian, he is an economist... And the problem is his data may be sound, but a lot of his "facts" are his interpretations of his data.
Definitely a "misses the forest for the trees" kind of guy.
Thomas Sowell is off when he talks about history completely off
happy af my man you come across this. The world isn't what we were taught ie modern day non racist slavery existed.
Your hearts to good to hear this sadness. It’s the kind of stuff that’s sticks with you always and does darken you a it but I think it’s also important that we learn the darkness we all are available of so we don’t repeat out history’s.
Money is not the root of all evil. It’s specifically the LOVE of money. When people care about having money more than they care about another human being, that is the problem.
I appreciate you taking the time to take a look at this. I gently tapped it. ❤️
Money itself is not the root of all evil. It is the LOVE of money that is the root of all evil. Money is just an object. Money itself is neutral. Humans put value on it, which drives greed.
Canadian here ...everyone at one time pretty much had slavery of one kind or another, stateside most schools only teach enough to pass the tests. So tell me how much did they teach you about your neighbours..." Hi neighbour!" You celebrate St. Patricks Day with green beer guess what St. Patrick at one point before becoming a Priest was a slave. Some Native Americans AND Canadian First Nations kept slaves. Canadian schools kept the knowledge of Residential schools from our school children we have the Truth & Reconciliation Act now but it's still an ugly spot in our history.
NEVER STOP Educating Yourself, My Friend.
Sending love my man.
Its great seeing people striving to learn our true history.
I may live a continent away and may not share a skin colour but, I care about the truth and the liberation of all peoples. I have a friend in the US and I am saddened by the shit that the media targets the community spreading fear and hate and mistrust. The media does that to all people's but it's sad to see her afraid to just go out and be herself because she shouldn't be afraid just because she was born a certain way. She is kind, smart and my life would be less if she wasn't involved with it and I keep reminding her that she can achieve anything she sets her mind to and she doesn't need to listen to anybody who tries to demoralise her just because she was born a certain way. We all deserve to live a fulfilling existence for as long as we are kind and courteous towards each other.
@@cynicalgothbrit2352 Preach it so the people is the back can hear you. Pure facts.
I'm tired of the media and other organizations trying to tear us apart with bs notions of race and how you should feel about it.
I just wish we could all see each other as people again instead of pawns in somebody else's narrative.
Good on you for looking into Sowell.
The fact that you were sitting here and listening to this and trying to gain knowledge instead of making excuses is proof that Thomas Sowell is correct
You’re not a criminal
You’re not streaming from a jail cell
You were trying your very best and I applaud you for it
I went to a pretty solid school man, and never learned any of this until I discovered this video. It has all been a huge game to the elites, and we have been the game pieces.
I've learned a lot of this thru research years ago. This one vid is very informative Leo. I think it's great u r taking the initiative to further ur knowledge on this matter. Remember don't rely on just one source but make sure to use reliable sources when u do research. This one vid seems pretty complete of what I've learned thru research as well but don't take my word for it either. Thnx for sharing Leo. Enjoy the day🙂☮️
Another good book that I am reading right now is called White Gold by Giles Milton. It talks about the slave trade of white folks by the barbary pirates. It was huge back then.
@@wolfen26 I've seen research on the Irish & Scottish slaves .. B4 the black slave trade. Basically once the black slaves were brought to the US for sale .. they were sold for much less money. Eventually the Irish & Scottish were no longer bought bc they cost too much comparatively speaking. But that's interesting about the pirates but makes sense. Haven't looked into that one yet. I think I saw a lil something a while back on how they'd kidnap men looking for work & put them below to work against their will .. basically prisoners. But that's all I've seen. Thnx for the info. Something I may look into later. 👍🏼🙂
@@ramonaalvarez7559 Oh yes, even the icelandic tribes were hit. Voices of the Past has an account from a man that was captured by the corsairs and sold as a slave in the Ottoman Empire slave trade. czcams.com/video/M2EJChRdxL0/video.html
I’m 64 white male, I was taught this in school in the 60s and 70s but a lot of people didn’t want to hear it. Of course, after “Roots”, nobody wanted to hear the truth. A lot of things in “Roots” were very accurate. Alex Haley just left out a lot of the facts. As TV show goes, it’s better for the ratings. It all comes down to money.
They don't teach it to continue dividing us by whatever makes us different. Divided we will fall.
Libya has slave auctions today. Human trafficking is a modern day slave trade and that has old school snatch kids off the street and drunk/drugged women. I believe that’s a $10 billion industry as well.
"Why you wanna own someone anyways? Do your own stuff!" You just beat 1000s of eggheads with two simple, correct sentences.
I am a person of love for all. My wish, is that we learn from the mistakes in the past... and just love. No division, no separation, no excluding. We are all one and the same! ❤
They want us divided, because imagine what we could become as a people if we came together as one. United we stand, divided we fall.
So glad so many more people are looking into things like this keep up the journey brother
Ja even if its not true atleast a black man said it for peace sake 👏🏽
Bruh, you caught me way off guard with this one. I'm so used to you being funny and enjoying the vids and what's going on. Watching you get so in depth and the thought that went into your answers. I really liked it. I hope you put out more content like this. Not necessarily about slavery. That was some vile shit that I wish never happened. Keep up the great work my friend.
There it is, well said
Dr Sowell is THE educational goat and should be in charge of all schools to include universities. If he were to tell me the sky is green I will believe my eyes are broken.
One fact not mentioned in this video you watched, though I learned from Dr. Sowell, is that the very first legal slave owner in America was a northern black man. He literally went to court to own a black man.
BIG shout-out to the US.
You're not just a person I subscribe to on CZcams. You're an inspirational individual and I want to invest my time in your brilliantly produced videos on both of your channels on a regular basis! You've fucking earned it! Keep up the great work you beautiful soul!
Love to see you checking out Dr. Sowell, he is a highly intelligent and amazing man....you should dive into more of his
Dr. Sowell is one of brilliant minds in American history. People just don't want the facts.
Im from Denmark, Copenhagen. I was told at some time in school and later on, this is what happent. No surprise.
They don't tell you this in school because they're trying to exploit you. I remember asking my teacher when I was really young if the slaves in the bible were all from Africa (since we were learning about US slavery and they were all black...but they weren't actually all black, but that's what they wanted to teach) and she didn't want to answer. After that I read more about it on my own and I stopped listening to what the teachers were saying because it was all BS.
In a sense, the US got the rotten luck of being on the last days of slavery. No one really cares about slavery from a thousand years ago, only from 400 years ago.
Yeeess! I told my family that if black folks were the first people, then we were the first sinners and murderers too...they didn't want to hear that.
The Bible is not history. The Egyptians never enslaved the Hebrews, the Hebrews did not build the pyramids, and the pyramids were not built by slaves. THAT'S A MOVIE!
@@feelthebern7662 lol stop! Countries still celebrate holidays that began in the Bible and I'm not talking about Christmas
@@tangieshogelola6898 No one is talking about holidays, i'm talking history. and yes the first homo sapiens came from africa. they were not the first sinners because god and sin hadn't been invented yet. homo sapiens have been around for over 100,000 years. Sin was invented less than 3,000 years ago. Some countries, like Japan, don't even have sin.
@@feelthebern7662 sure thing, fascist.
Yes this is real and why not being into politics keeps slavery alive, like in Liyba.
They still have them for sale TODAY
The saddest thing is, slavery still goes on today.
❤️
I find it shocking that people believe Americans started slavey. Everyone's history contains slavey, we've all been slaves at some time in history. Slavery is as old as mankind. Not all people believed in nor wanted the money. Here in America we had the constitution and bill of rights in which it says "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” That's why Lincoln and the Republican party fought and died to free the slaves.
There are approximately 700,000 slaves in Africa owned by black Africans. I love this content from you. Thank you!🙏
I have an ancestor on each side of my family who was taken as a slave. 450 years ago on my mom's side an ancestor took another one and 1500 years ago on my dad's side the same thing. If you go back far enough I bet it's in everyone's family history.
Yep. I'm about as white as it gets, and even I have ancestors that were enslaved. Particularly my Slavic ancestors....which is where the word "slavery" originally comes from. People have ALWAYS sought to control those they perceive as weak, and that will never change....and unfortunately, NO race is immune to this evil.
Why don't they teach you this in school? Because they fear the result; UNITY.
I watched a long section of Sowell’s book.
One of the best ideas I took away was: slavery being illegal now is the anomaly. Throughout history slavery was the norm.
I’ve tried educating myself in topics like this and have gotten outside help and I’ve known this for some time surprised allot of other people don’t know this
A common mentality among all oppressors is that their victims need to be controlled. That they are doing good, and their victims are better off for their oppression. Whenever one person, by whatever means, finds themselves with power over another, this mentality often creeps in. You see it in parents, teachers, bosses, landlords, lawmakers, judges, the wealthy, etc. I don't believe the line that power corrupts. I believe certain people have corruption in them and power frees it.
This isn't why slavery existed, but it is how slavery persisted.
I am glad you stated it was business. Everyone wants money and the thing was to make it any way they could.
It's business you get it you're the first reactor to actually make an intelligent reaction.
