What you call a castle, I call a dungeon
They didnt just "let it happen"...they were an active part of it!!
people talk about the europeans , but dont talk about the ashanti
Facts
People talk about the Africans but not the Incans/ Mayans and how the Asians contributed to their own demise.
However, the constant in the colonization of the planet was one lice and herpes infected constant - THE EUROPEANS.
All they did was give them guns. To help secure the cargo.
@@Wharbuckz7, groups sold others or each other or even themselves into slavery.
All coastal tribes Gas, Fantes etc sold slaves to the Europeans.. stop this Asante hate it's getting too old!!!
Imagine selling your own people to foreigners for material riches and then ending up dirt poor unable to use your own natural resources in your own land,karma.Apology NOT accepted from this Caribbean.
African never sold others africans ! Damn it's 2020 and you still pushing that false narrative , it's sad !
Explanation: Slavery was an important sector of the economies of West African pre-colonial civilizations. When the west abolished slavery, their econmies had to shift. Also loosing millions of your people does damage the economy.
Your whole family probably got sold for a couple of rifles.
@1salvaje :The people there now hate to believe what their ancestors did. It is a hard pill to swallow.
Tribalism explains the reason white people went to South African and made them have passports in their own country. How in the hell can a handful of white people dictate to thousands of black folks. I don't understand it for India either. How in the hell can white people dictate what you can and can't do in your own country.
@@garlandgarrison3739 I guess I can see why Africans are into Finance or Accounting because of this.
@@stellamr4543 😂they funny
Thank you my brother,
If tribal chiefs got together in 1990s and erected the plaque signifying they apologised for their ancestors' treachery, then name the leading chief. Stop the lies. Ghana benefits from Black tourism. Awareness of complicity of old tribal chiefs in selling slaves is growing. Continental Africans displayed indifference to their "captured cousins" in the Diaspora. Propaganda is now used to cushion demands for reparations from tribal chiefs. That's what caused those plaques to be erected. Name the Master of Ceremonies. Name the oldest chief present. Stop the propaganda
400 years to late
Revelation 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. (Rev 13:9 KJV)Revelation 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: (Rev 13:10 KJV)
tisrael8 👉👉👉 Then you the Black Man Owned Slaves and Sold Slaves to the White Man 👈👈👈👈👈
@@arlisiacoley3244 : They were still black. Black is a people. They were black Africans because they sure as hell weren't white and I think you mean accepted. They were still Black people.
@@Tippy2forU To break it down to you so you may "get it". It's like Italians and Irish people. They may both be white but they are Not of the same family. These people didn't sell their mothers, brothers, sisters etc. They sold captive people of other places/tribes. If an Italian person takes captive an Irish person and sells him for value. He is not selling his "own people". It's an Italian person selling an Irish. To totally different people that happen to be the same color. Research this.
@@marcelmolina6421 are Chinese and East Indians the same people because their both in Asia ???? so what if the East Indians sold the Chinese how could the Chinese go into captivity if they've already been in captivity, that makes no since. You could say the same thing with Africans selling of another group of black people from a far away land. They where selling off another nationality other than their own people who entered their land.
@@jermarwilliamson8165you made no sense what?😢
We must forgive, or we will not be forgiven... It is no different then living in America, knowing that we have not the same justice as our " White"counter parts, yet staying there and pretending it is not so. If I can forgive those who still hold " No" forgiveness, then I should be able to forgive those that do... As a Afrîcan American, and a child of God I forgive you, because I too want to be forgiven..
I swear negros is some of the most forgiving folks in the WORLD.
You should move to Ghana or Liberia. Experience lynch mob justice for stealing a bag of potatoes.
Wow, this is a very mature healing words. It's blessed people like you that make the world a better place :)
The signs are in English?
Daedalx Al-Maurikanos yeah must people in Ghana speak English
Exactly. Go figure
If this was written in English that means the colonisers wrote it. We were stolen not sold by our own people. I have asked a lot of west Africans about slavery and they have no idea what happened. No one told them. Just ask.
This man knows because maybe he lives there or he is promoting it to cause a bigger wedge between Africans and Caribbeans 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ Who knows?
@Swan of Tuonela You're an idiot! Let me guess you're white? Typical. You weren't there or even live there.
I just confirmed the truth from a Ghanaian. Born and raised there.
It's far from what these people are saying in the video.
The white told them to say that. That's wherw the confusion lies.
Do you're research next time.
@@Perfeccionista89 , I am not and, yet, can give you many sources on all the parties that were involved in the slave trade. Don't assume someone's ethnicity based on what they say. And don't take one man's word over what is in recorded history.
Thats why ghana has "open" citizenship for aa in America.
I dont know why. We need to stay in our respective European, S. American, N. North American countries.
We helped built them. That's where we belong.
Garland Garrison no we don’t belong here that’s not what Bible says do some research
The African country of Ghana stated that African Americans can repatriate ghana. That is not citizenship Ghana should give us dual citizenship. Plus, Reparations / Land.
@@keithhowie1251they do
Thanks it is my dream to pay honor to my ancestors there in Africa....why o why..We forgive forgive for ' gi'v omg!
i dont accept their apology , I’m sorry
good video but please be specific.. who took and sold slaves. I like that this video mentioned that coastal tribes when into the interior of africa.. but who were these tribes.for example cape coast or Elmina is located in Fanteland and is the home of the Fantes, the tribe that was allied with the british empire and sold and took my people the ASHANTI and sold them to the british and other white people . the FANTE bent over to brits and sold people that look like them and now they are apologizing.. they should apologize to Ashantis and then rest of the carribean AGAIN!
thats why Ashantis are all over the world.. in Jamaica and Guyana etc.. Cuffy national hero of Guyana was Ashanti so was queen NANY of JAMAICA
czcams.com/video/sufSa1pbhFQ/video.html Here some of the names of those African chiefs who perpetuated the busines in selling slaves to the portugueses.
@@b1chronixx688yes and the ancestors of jamaica did too
some or most if the entire region was so influenced by it?
This was prophesied of TMH. Not of man, not of our brethren.
WE must forgive our brothers of Ephraim. It was the TMH's decision.
Selajh Soulh And before God put Us into Slavery , he gave Us A Choice ... Be Free or Be Slave's / To Be Bless = Deuteronomy 28:1-13 ... Or Be Curse The Curse >Deuteronomy 28:15-68 if we Choose not to Following Gods Commandments >Deuteronomy 26:16-19 & Deuteronomy 27:15-26 and get Punishment...We Chose The Curse ! :-/
Nope
Name Again you need to forgive unless you will go down with your enemy
theSoundofmanyWaters
No bitch
We west Asians and our religions got nothing to do with you west Africans selling each other
So leave us alone
And stop using our books
How can you do that to black people
Money. It is the same way many Black folks will do it now. We sold each other out for money then and we do it now.
The thing most americans dont see is that the rest of the world doesnt see themselves as "whites" or "blacks" or "asians", people throughout the world saw themselves as belonging to their ethnic groups and there are multiple ethnic groups in africa who were at war with each other for some reason, they would've chosen to side with the white man or the arab instead of their fellow "blacks".
Me sipping tea knowing we didn't took part in this 🍵
Thank you all these dumb anti africans believe everything made up to make them hate on us...We never sold their ancestors and it's a Fact. They believe what the fuck they want but I know damn well their ancestors were not sold....These self hater Americans try everything they can to reject africans , I remember when they were claiming to be Jews , Fijians , native Americans etc just because they don't wan to be associate with africans...Now they are pushing the white man narrative saying we sold them. They are miserables !
@@stellamr4543 lol then who did?
@@justtime2670 NO FUCKING BODY except some treats who were not a majority...Most of your ancestors were captured. That's what really happened. If you think it was a pacific exchange of humans you are dumbs . If we sold others africans peacefully with the whites were did they come with weapons ? Why did they committed so much genocide in Africa ? In Gabon , in Namibia , Fin Congo , in Cameroon ? If we were with them why did a lot of battles happened and why the white historians ya'll believe to much never talk about these battles ? If we sold you why did Queen Nzinga fought with whites for like 40 years n Why did King Nvita a Nkanaga was decapited ? Why did Kimpa vita died burn alive with her baby and her husband ? And I can name you more and more people who were killed by the savages because they tried to protect your ancestors , who fought for years with the savages to protect your ancestors...
@@stellamr4543 If we were captured, then yall sat there POWERLESS to stop it. So much for "brothers/sisters" huh.
Skin folk ain't all kin folk. And we Western Blacks had our own battles to fight. The Haitians had to lead the largest and most successful slave revolt in the west.
Y'all made y'all minds up centuries ago. We've moved on and yall should too. We are our own people's with our unique cultures now.
Garland Garrison okay then tell your people to stop trying to embrace African culture then if you’ve moved on. Stupid mindset
Sad
I guess that’s a good thing, … but why are you apologizing for something you didn’t do?
+Charles Brown come learn TRUTH how it happened
Not accepted
@Markito 🤔🤔 it is? Do tell me how?
You do know that Africans who sold other Africans also became slaves and were sent to the Americas
@@glennashia1421 that was a rare occurrence. In fact the stories that we've heard about that they were sent back. One in Gambia, who was a prince, and another in the region of Benin. There were particular tribes targeted. The fon of dahomey were one of the most involved of the tribes in the selling of capturing and trading slaves from the Yoruba and igboo tribes. The Edo tribe marked themselves for the captures of blacks to know they were not to be taken. Fon of dahomey can stand up and admit that they're forefathers were involved, who else know about this history there on the continent and wanna disclosed the truth. Slavery made the continent of Africa much wealth, and that was the reason it lasted over 300 years, lets be honest!
@@Gcolorina lol Ok. in 18th century in Ghana The Fante tribeSlave raided a Asante village and captured them,which led The Asante king to sent out an army against the Fante .Many Fante were killed and the Rest attempted to find refuge in the where the Brits were.But Asante captured 2,000 Fante and Sold them to the Brits and the Dutch. Africans have been selling each other Left and Right. An African Slave Rebellion named Tacky Led around 1,000 slaves in Jamaica and guess what....He is a Former slave owner and seller.
@@glennashia1421 Thank you for this history. This is what i wanna learn more about. Thank you for this truth. I don't understand why Africans don't wanna tell the truth about this history which was happening only a lil over 100 years ago. C'mon now!
Excuse me. If this was written in English that means the colonisers wrote it. We were stolen not sold by our own people. I have asked a lot of west Africans about slavery and they have no idea what happened. No one told them. Just ask.
This man knows because maybe he lives there or he is promoting it to cause a bigger wedge between Africans and Caribbeans 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ Who knows?
@Swan of Tuonela No, they are not. The colonizers wrote them.
@Perfeccionista It was 1874. During British rule, Amarteifio, historian and mayor of Accra in Ghana, says the African role in the slave trade was deliberately forgotten. “The chiefs and peoples decided, ‘All right, we will not talk about it,’” he said. “They created a mythology that we were innocent bystanders whose land was raped by Europeans.”
@@Alejandro-zy5kt Exactly. Take no responsibility, just blame it all on white Europeans, even though Islam had slavery for 1400 years. Much longer than the less than 400 years Europeans had it. Islam was much crueler than Europeans, cutting off the genitals of slaves, making then eunichs, but most blacks just want to blame white people for slavery even though they created it by selling their own people. Talk about denial.
Again someone else who can't live with the fact that black men are nothing but traders....
When a person gets a dog from a pet store, and abuses it, do you blame the pet store or dog owner?
Africans sold Africans does not explain the psychosis and homicidal rage Europeans expressed on their charges.
First off wtf is wrong with you,we’re not talking about dogs we’re referring to human beings,KIDNAPPED from their homes, not stolen from some damn pet store.You’re an insensitive SOB..
Therefore When a human being kidnaps another human being and sells him for a profit,IT’S A DAMN CRIME..Everyone involve is culpable and guilty of the crime of kidnapping and selling human merchandise.They should face prosecution and be sentence to jail time.

Your bait slow. You clearly don’t know how an analogy works.
That’s on you - not me.

@@marcusgarveyisthewaytofree474 So you make an analogy using dogs to represent human beings??Now I’m convince you rode the short yellow bus all your life..
@@tiyahisrael
Do you know what the definition of an ANALOGY IS? ?????
Think of a parable, or an allegory.
Sweetie, the bus passed, and I waved at you , while I was standing on the side walk.
🙄🙄😑
@@marcusgarveyisthewaytofree474 😂🤣😂ok..But on a serious note,I may have misinterpreted your analogy, but one thing We can agree on,,Africans selling Africans does not explain the psychosis and homicidal rage Europeans expressed on their charges..You said a mouthful..Thats for Damn sure..I agree 💯
“Blacks” / “African Americans” is just made up bs We are from the 12 tribes of Israel. We are from the tribe of Judah. I don’t have to prove what I’m saying because it’s just the absolute truth. Read the Bible then you will understand.
No lie!
I'm not Hebrew but nice try
