Thank you for bringing this history to the light. I'm so happy to see these kinds of teachings. They enlighten us just a little more.

That was very interesting. I would love to hear why not how so many Muslims were taken as slaves. They were of a different faith. Im sure they would not have believed that fire was a god. Nevertheless, according to some historians, as much as 30 to 60 % of the slave brought to the Americas were Muslim.

Watch yo mouth God said

Why black people don’t talk about Indian connection to Africa why you people hide all the history Indians and blacks have a long history of trade …also intermingling. There is no such thing as ‘brown’ because in the system you’re either black or white it’s all depending on skin color. Indians and Africans have been enslaved by Muslims I’m not sure why any man is entitled to have multiple wives. It’s the main reason for all the blood shed you people breed your own blood for slavery seems like all evil rulers do it. Yall need Jesus self!

I wonder if you people are the true Muslims because you sound like a Muslim man. It makes a lot of sense.

Very friendly reminder to those along the Slave Coast (West Coast of Africa), you will be judged by The Most High Yah along with the european colonizers you love so much. Many of you were complacent and involved in the captivity and scattering of my ancestors to the four corners of the earth. The best advice I can give is to repent. Doesn't mean you won't get the smoke though. 😌

3They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 4They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 5For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: 6The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

The problem then and now was tribalism divided us then dividing us all now

the funny thing is, she still looks beautiful without the wig. Her real hair ain't that bad....she look good. I've seen much worse.

I have seen this a million times and each and every time I laugh so hard. "Bruh?"

This is fascinating especially when it comes to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Even when I was in undergrad I was shocked at the people who were so hell bent on saying that Africans didn't care for African Americans. I never believed it bc my personal experience was so different. I went to school with Somalis, Ethiopians, Nigerians, Eritreans, Persians etc. Even some who had lived through the Biafran War found themselves in friendships with people that they would have never befriended back home.

He's talking about divide and conquer.

So poised. So graceful.

You are our people on the other side too! Let us unite! Have you been down south yet? I always tell my people in amurdika, it was either you or them when it came to our enslavement. We don't blame you for our Enslavement! They were. hell bent on enslaving us with or without Africans' permissions! We ain't mad at you!!

She looks nice without it.

The world is simply Good or Evil, nothing in between. Watch out for the Jerks and their foul choices.

We black Americans don’t look like y’all we’re a different race of black people 😮

Yes, some Africans may have feared guns, but they got over that fast. Many African armies reequipped themselves with firearms and quickly turned those weapons against Europeans, often with success. The problem is, Africans still relied on European suppliers to provide firearms. African ability to manufacture firearms was undercut by European firearms flooding African markets.

Thank you for sharing this important information! I was born in England and have lived in Jamaica since 2012. After visiting Barbados, Ghana, and Congo, I came to the same conclusion (about Europeans dividing the royal families of West Africa and taking their enemies as slaves). This may also explain why Caribbeans frequently struggle to pass on generational wealth. Disputes over probate (known as ‘dead lef’) are frequently contentious in Jamaica and a major reason for the high murder rate. The design, buildings, and smell of Downtown, Kingston, Jamaica are almost identical to the Downtown area of Accra, Ghana. Also, the popular Jamaican entertainer Capleton often refers to himself as ‘King Shango’. Keep up the good work and please continue to share your wisdom. Knowledge is power and unity is strength!

I never get tired of watching too video! 😂😂😂😂

Stop the NONSENSE. KEEP YOUR UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE TO YOUR SELF. YOU DONT SPEAK FOR ALL AFRICANS

As an African American, u have spoken the truth. These things I have researched and learned what exactly what u have so equolently articulated. The scales are falling our critical thinking eyes, black people, through true knowledge. Make Alkebulan great again through global unity, black people.

Lmfao 😂😂...oh God 😅why does this video get funnier every time I watch it over and over too hilarious gurl you made my day oh Jesus 🤣 🤣 😅😅

This is a great topic. As an indigenous American who has mixed ancestry, I would also like people from the continent to understand what it meant to have dark skin across the Americas. I find people from Africa need even more UNITY as the tribalist mindset that lead to slavery taking hold and overwhelming the sense of morality still persists. People of the Americas can identify with the diaspora but I find that Africans give us resistance. I always hear them say we r from Africa yet the treatment isn't there. I feel like they align themselves in proximity to whiteness. And diminsh our African roots if we can't specifically identify with their tribal cultures. If u can't speak a tribal language or make a tribal dish, I'm not African enough. I've never had this uneasiness with people from the Caribbean. I think a lot more research needs to be done when visiting each others countries so ignorance doesn't continue to separate. I'm poud that the diaspora has a lot of unity and mutual respect. I believe it's a model that Africans can also follow.

I feel for her. But, its boththere reactions 😂😂😂

Thank you for sharing, I look forward to hearing more.

Who is this clown? The description says he’s an African? From where? I mean listen to his accent. He mentioned the Nigerian ethnic group Hausa. The largest group dragged in chains to the USA (and possibly to the Americas) were Igbo. Africans didn’t land there because of a dispute over who would be king. They were captured. The slavers paid people to capture slaves. It was an economic system. They created a disparity after using gunpowder discovered in China. Instead of fireworks they used it to make weapons. There were slave kingdoms who wealth came from the participation in the slave trade. He’s an embarrassment. There’s too much information on this topic to give any credibility to this nonsense. I’m not disputing he can see Hausa People. I appalled at his African selling someone over a throne. Did get this from Roots or something? We’re talking about 12-15 million people between the 1500s and the 1800s. This title is an embarrassment to African and Caribbean scholarship. Truly just any scholarship on the issue.

I often use a Game of Thrones analogy to help counter the European accusatory-excusers for African slavery - that "they sold their own people" and, on one strand of it, try to clarify that the "Africans" (no local concept of Africa) had no realisation that they were not dealing with just another tribe/nation but the fking White Walkers, and that they were ALL ultimately to be directly targeted alike, and for more brutality and death than they had any precedence for whatsoever! But had they had that knowledge of what they were REALLY dealing with, they might have realised that local reform AND unity with former enemies - maybe for the first time EVER - from the very first moments of contact would have been necessary. That would have been a tough ask, too. Of course, it was all across the globe, that local peoples did not realise a need for local unity vs Europeans until it was far too late - often at a time when the colonial states were on their last legs following the Second Grand Imperialist War..."WW2" is the common name for that. Some European settler states are still going strong (Ho! Ho!), of course. Every time I explain this, there is a moment of silence. As is they had never thought of this aspect, or had any education on the subject

I'm Shinnecock and Yuchi american Indian brown skin complexion. The Caribbean was called the west Indian Islands hence West Indian. The brown people who are labeled "blacks" are the indigenous people worldwide. Australia to America to Africa. Ain't no going on how people look. European n American n*ggaz are being forgotten.

I am a Black American of African descent. I enjoyed your presentation. I would love to learn the truth of our history. We have been lied to for so long. We have been pitted against one another . You are so right!! We need to have unity, understanding, and peace. What really happened during the slave trade? What deals were made? What roles did Africans really play with the Europeans. It's time to discuss the truth. Thank you for this very interesting discussion.

This was really a valuable perspective that the brother shared. I like the fact that he traveled the Caribbean to learn from the other side.

Indentured servitude and slavery are not as similar as it is described in this video. Death was more prevalent in other parts of the world in slavery. Great to look at it from your point of view, but the other side of this story is not in this.

Dude LOST it!😂😂😂

The story of slavery is indeed consumed from european perspective. Time to retell our stories

This guy's take is highly disputed regarding how slaves were taken. They were bought from the kings/kingdoms, not captured. Many of these African kingdoms, like Hausaland for example, were known to have far more slaves than citizens, and the intra-african slave trade was a huge industry. The European powers initially did not steal free people, except with some exceptions. They purchased or traded for them. After colonizing these regions it was a different story, however.

Very interesting. This is the first time l heard this version of the strategy used by the Europeans to capture African slaves. If gas always vaffled me how the transatlantic slave trade could have gone on for so long. That said, once the africans realized that the fire came from man made guns and not the fure god Shango, why did they continue for 400 years? This video has provoked the need in me for further research. Thank you.

❤❤❤❤

When you cannot agree among your own people, you cannot grow.. Truth. What we can agree upon is that I am true American Black Woman. My grandmother's grandmother died making lemonade in her "mass's" kitchen at the sink. That I know. My grandmother told me (she was born in 1900). She told me the horrific stories that my great-grandmother and great-grandfather had to endure at the hands of white people. I am an African descendant of slaves--real slaves that were hurt on every level possible, and as a woman, I have not, and will not EVER give my body, mind, soul nor appreciation to a white man... EVER. Thats all. I realize this video is not about this precisely, but that is my stance, and it has been my stance ever since I was little. I was successful in my corporate role, before I retired... actually 2 days ago... and I play well with others... but I KNOW the truth.

Thank you my dear brother. I'm black American so we're a little more mixed but we need to hear this. Generally we have Nigerian, Ghanaian, Angolan blood and then British/Welsh/Irish. I've never heard anyone speak so thoughtfully about our forebears. The message of UNITY is both timely and timeless. The funny thing is West Africans often don't recognize black Americans from our look, but we can often feel you deeply in our spirit in a way you can't imagine. As in the way a sighted person's other senses become sharper when their sight is taken away, the ripping of our history awoke something dormant, a primordial connection that can't be broken no matter what. The record books take us back to our 2nd or 3rd grandfathers. The one before that..was probably the brother from another mother sold to the Europeans. You fill my heart with love. Thank you.

She is so classy about it!!!! Total class

Stop deleting my comment and let them answer please

What a wonderful man. No so long ago in my culture you had the heir and the spare. The first born male would get everything and the others would be sent to serve as monks and to the army. It must happen to many cultures in the past.

She is funny, sweet, intelligent.. if she cooks and cleans : she is the perfect wife !

I love learning african history from Africans. I would love to hear more from Sam.

Wow.

African governments still carry on with divide and rule strategy. When the wicket white snake from the east first arrived, they teaded in ivory, gold, tropical fruits and exotic animals. In my opinion, it was just an advance scout because what happened to have changed from trading to now enslaving the people? I still stand that the coastal villages were subdued, held as hostages and the men made to get free Africans from hinterland as slaves.

She is beautiful with or without the wig

Who marries her is blessed.... she îs saved , smart , beautiful , funny .... everything is good and beautiful în life. God bless them 🐑👑🤍🇮🇱👍🏿🤗

You are correct, the only/main black history taught in schools, even in Primary, is slavery and it is uncomfortable teaching this small percentage of black history. I have personally gone out to buy books that share black excellence to use in my teaching.
